Electric-blue lobster caught off P.E.I.
cbc ^ | Jun 2, 2011

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.

Everyone knows that PEI is where Anne of Green Gables lives

The Lucy Maud Montgomery home is beautiful. The whole island is a real gem.

That’s a beautiful lobster. Does it taste as good as it looks?

I also kept a dragonfish named Boris in a tank for quite a while. When I found him dead one morning, he was so stiff, I could have used him as an ice pick. Ugly, malevolent-looking things, dragonfish.

"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."

I saw one of those in an aquarium once and tried to get a picture of it, but any time someone went near the aquarium, it hid under a rock.
