A fisherman hauled an extremely rare blue lobster out of the waters off P.E.I.'s North Shore Wednesday.
Blair Doucette landed the lobster in North Rustico. Only about one in four million lobsters is blue. The colour is caused by a genetic mutation.
Wendy Doucette, Blair's wife, told CBC News in 30 years of fishing he has never seen a blue lobster. They are considering donating the lobster to a local aquarium.

It rode on the back of Godzilla of course.

Saw it on NBC. Brian Williams had to apologize as they went off the air for saying earlier that PEI was a part of Nova Scotia. Typical idiot media.

Yep. And NBC is carrying the Stanley Cup finals, to boot.
They looked beyond stupid, and Williams was choking on the apology.

Also rare because it cannot camoflage itself against the seabed background. I’ve seen blue, yellow, even orange lobsters. Cool, but rare.

I've seen freshwater electric blue crayfish in tank shops. Under a good light, they look surreal, but they're a bit pricey and sensitive to their water conditions.
"But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: for men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away, for his name is Obama."

They apparently still turn red when boiled, from what I remember hearing.
