Anyone who has ever tossed live crabs into a pot of boiling water and heard how loud they scream and seen how hard they fight find a way to climb out of the pot would question the conclusion of this research. The trick is to put them in cold water and slowly increase the temperature.

How do you scream without vocal cords? Methinks that's just steam escaping...

I wasn't aware that crustaceons had vocal chords.

I think that the 'scream' is the sound of steam rushing out of their shells -- like a tea kettle.
