Doggedly searching for the crux of the biscuit.
Remember the one in a million blue lobster from last summer? Say hello to the one in a hundred million lobster.
An eastern Maine lobsterman caught a lobster this week that looks like it's half-cooked. The lobster caught by Alan Robinson in Dyer's Bay that is a typical mottled green on one side; the other side is a shade of orange that looks cooked. Robinson, of Steuben, donated the lobster to the Mount Desert Oceanarium. Staff members say the odds or finding a half-and-half lobster are 1 in 50 million to 100 million. By comparison, the odds of finding a blue lobster are about 1 in a million. [...]
Bette Spurling, who works at the oceanarium, said lobster shells are usually a blend of the three primary colors: red, yellow and blue. Those colors mix to form the greenish-brown color of most lobsters. This lobster, though, has no blue in half of its shell, she said. [...] The oceanarium has received only three two-toned lobsters in its 35 years of existence, staff members said.

TrackBackRidiculous! Everybody knows two-toned lobsters should be red on the right side, and green on the left!

Way to brother-shame, man.
Posted by: M/tch M/lls at July 17, 2006 03:38 PMWhy can't you just accept them as lobsters, GB? The color of their chitin does not determine the content of their carapace.
