Lobsters and crabs aren't on the menu at two major grocery stores.
Whole Foods Market, an American natural supermarket chain, is halting live lobster and crab sales. A representative from the store says it's just not humane.
The US company joins Safeway in the decision.
People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, an international rights group, applauds the move.
Mark Prescott from PETA says the two chains made a smart choice to spare the animals from the cramped and filthy environments.

This is a report from an Ottawa, Canada radio station.
580 CFRA.
In 1996 the Whole Foods stock was selling at $6.00 a share and closed Friday at $62.18. BTW the stock has split twice since 2001.
Does not appear to be a Fad to me.

Arthropods evolved from a common lineage with annelids and mollusks and therefore share some fundamental organizational features of their nervous systems. The most primitive examples of this lineage consist of a bilaterally symmetrical nervous system of one ganglia per body segment, each of which is composed of paired hemi-ganglia, one on each side of the body.
Actually it is related to the cockroach....but I still like em...

I don't know anything about lobster because I'm allergic to seafood, but I've heard a few people tell me that they're like the rat of the ocean.
Just what I heard.
Sorry, I stand corrected.. ;)
The K Man man made "The Lobster Shirt" a time-less classic.

Devastating.

Credit Alton Brown for the lineage...I see the Dixie Chicks in there....Wow, I didn't know that...

...No company illustrates the transformative power of innovation more dramatically than Enron. Over the past decade Enron's commitment to the invention--and later domination--of new business categories has taken it from a $200 million old-economy pipeline operator to a $40 billion new-economy trading powerhouse. In 1985, Enron recognized the opportunities wrought by natural gas deregulation and began to trade it like a commodity. Soon it was opening new markets trading electric power, pulp, paper--even broadband. Jeff Shenkman, the COO of Enron Global Markets, credits the company's culture for its success in building frontier markets. "Challenging conventional wisdom is something we push here," he says. "The way we do things today is different from how we will do it six months from now." For example, Louise Kitchen, a trader in Enron's London office, was able to attract a group of 350 people for a project to take the company's gas-trading operations online--before upper management even knew about it. Launched in November 1999, Enron Online has racked up $129 billion in transactions, making it one of the largest e-commerce sites in the world. "We didn't start it because the chairman said we needed an e-commerce strategy," says EVP Steve Kean. "The quality and strength of ideas are determined by how many employees support them--not by upper management. Good ideas are able to attract the resources they need to move forward freely." ...

The Geico Gecko looks exactly like Gary Sinise to me! Had to get that off my chest, after seeing both on TV tonight. (But they were not in the same room at the same time.)
Adolf Hitler once issued a Fuehrerbefehl dictating to German restaurants the methodologies to be used in killing lobsters. He was apparently concerned with potential suffering on the part of the lobsters. And they said he and Eva didn't have any kids....
