Astonishing discovery of 'supergiant' crustaceans made off New Zealand

grindtv.com ^

[Scythian]

There are ordinary amphipods, known to be mostly tiny shrimp-like crustaceans that thrive in aquatic environments around the world, and now there are "supergiant" amphipods, which are 10 times larger and, frankly, quite freakish-looking (see video and photo).

One shrimp will serve as an entire meal ...

>>Who licked the first toad?<<

I said “brave” not “insane.”

“Who licked the first toad?”

A perverted liberal.

If they’re smart, they’ll grab a bunch of them and start breeding them.

I have always wondered what possessed the first person ever to eat an artichoke. Who would have thought there was something that tasty inside all those spikey leaves?

Who licked the first toad?

That's something I always wanted to know. 

Who the heck thought it was a good idea? The result probably freaked him out a bit.

That would at lest make me the 3rd bravest man to ever have lived. (#2 = first man to eat a lobster, #1 = first man to eat a raw oyster).

The bravest of all was the man who ate a raw clam and lived. Old time PSP test is SE AK: feed one to a cat. If it lives then the clams are clean.

Thanks a zillion. You have given me the first, and what I expect will be the biggest, chuckle of the day. Now I can leave my computer keyboard until another day.

But are they tasty on the barbe, Mate?

[freebird5850]

Jumbo shrimp.

That requires a shot to the head from a .38 to kill!

[Travis McGee]

Giant shrimp on the barbie! Break out the Old Bay seasoning!

...or the first man to eat an egg.

“Hey Ogg! I dare you to eat the next thing that comes out of that bird’s butt...”

Maybe they weren't so much brave as losers of bets.
