A 30-inch-long deep-sea bug? This picture purporting to show a deep-sea isopod, of the species Bathynomus giganteus, has been posted to sites such as Reddit and Cruisers Forum.

Tastes like chicken.

[Loud Mime]

Looks like big trouble is around the corner.
Where's the hot babe?

or pillbugs that you find in your garden

..if I find that in my garden I call in an air strike

100% real. Marketed as "crab meat" occasionally. Yums!

[timeflies]

We called those small ones rollie pollies too. I guess you could call it a basketball.

Looks liek a till-er-bite

[OldDeckHand]

Those look to be in the 12” range. Can you imagine something 18” longer? Egads.

[OldCorps]

lol, that’s really good!

It’s an ugly planet.
It’s a BUG planet.

(thank goodness my brother coerced me to go see “Starship Troopers”;
nothing like seeing Doogie Houser in Nazi/Boss leather coat to get
me laughing out loud!)

Actually more like crab or a cross between crab and lobster. Yum!

Nuke’em from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

In a smaller size, they sell those things as bait at Hunntington beach.

30"-long isopod

Steve Jobs is a genius. First the iPod, then the iPad, and now--this!

[BlueDragon]

This one probably tastes like lobster.

but what would a 2 1/2 foot long gill louse taste like, anyway? who would want to try it?

If I was expecting Dungeness and got a box of those, I'd say I had a bad case of crabs...
