Seriously, a lobster has about as much cognative thought as a fish or a grasshopper.

Less than a fish, about the same as a grasshopper.

I heard a scientist of some kind on TV talking about this, he said that a lobster's nervous system is not developed well enough to feel pain. They feel sensations, but not pain as we do. I wonder how they know that, do they stick a lobster with a pin and them ask him if it hurt?

Actually, I remember reading somewhere recently that lobsters are closely related to cockroaches. How about a nice broiled Maine marine cockroach with lemon juice and drawn butter, sound yummy?

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.
