Escape to Freedom: Large Runaway Crabs Roam German Train
Spiegel ^ | November 12, 2013

Large hairy crabs escaped from a box and went scuttling down a train in Germany. Only 10 were caught, the others remain at large: under the seat, in the luggage rack, or behind the fold-down table.

A number of large crabs escaped from a box on a German train and not all have been found, police said on Tuesday.

Staff on the ICE high-speed service from Hamburg to Stuttgart noticed that the crustaceans, known as Shanghai Hairy Crabs because of their furry claws, were crawling down the corridor.

"They were able to round up 10 crabs. Others weren't found and remain at large," transport police in the northern town of Hanover said in a statement.

More likely to find them in a sleeper car.

It is a coconut crab and supposedly it can crack open a coconut.

They’ll probably stay far away from the dining car.

A little off the point, but a friend told me Sunday that she had a brunch in Charleston, SC of Eggs Benedict (w/Hollandaise sauce, of course) over crispy crab cakes.

Yummmm!

“It is a coconut crab and supposedly it can crack open a coconut.”

Looks like something that evolved from below the piers at Fukishima.

I wonder how it tastes when it is cooked and dredged with butter?

I have a keen understanding of the deep psychology of marketing. I see all kinds of advertising that leaves me thinking the opposite of what I should be thinking. The Fiat commercial is a perfect example. ‘Girls and crabs’.. EVERY commercial is officially previewed in a special screening where all top management, etc., is present. What the hell were they thinking?
