New "Hairy Lobster" Crustacean Discovered and Classified 261
AviLazar writes "American-led divers discovered a new type of Crustacean, that resembles a lobster but has it's claws covered in 'sinuous, hair-like strands'. This species is so different, from other Crustacean's that it was classified with a new Family name: Kiwaida. Unfortunately for the Kiwaida, the AP is already using this blind creature and a salad plate in the same sentence."

Why hairy? (Score:5, Funny)
Given that it is blind, I suppose they may be tactile, like a cat's whiskers.
Or perhaps detritous gets stuck in the hairs and it is a rudimentary filter feeder.
Or perhaps most lobsters shave regularly, but since this one's blind... nah.

I imagine they taste pretty darn good since they've obviously been intelligently designed as a salad course.

I know I've seen other experimental works (i.e., having non-mammalian, non-avian, non-reptilian subjects), and let me tell you, the ones with insects are worse.

In Re: Salad Plate dimension.
I read your recent hirsute lobster tale (pun very much intended) recently and was flummoxed by your use of "salad plate" as a measure of what I'm guessing is area. Could you please restate the size in dimensions your readership could understand? Perhaps football fields, breadboxes, or tons of TNT?
Thank you humbly,
