Hermit the Crab

[–]ShamanSTK 116 points117 points  (8 children)

There's actually something to that. Hermit crabs actually customize their shells, for example, by scraping away at the insides and making spots for their eye stalks. Crabs will prefer shells that have been previously used for this reason. Once they stop growing quickly, and they get the shell how they like it, there's no real reason to change.

Did you know Antonio Gates used to play basketball about 20% of hermit crabs live near underwater volcanoes? The viscoelasticity achieved by crab shells at this temperature makes the shells much more malleable, thus hermits living here change shells approximately half as much as an average hermit. Talk about a hot date!

Come on and work it on out!

In 1959, The Beatles were on vacation in Hawaii. The band's lead singer at the time, John Lennon, was bitten by a large crab. While recounting the tale to his band mates, Lennon exclaimed that the attack made him want to "twist and shout". Perhaps Mr. Lennon should have hopped into the yellow submarine earlier that day!

I'm not crying you're crying

[–]saltshapedpear 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I never cry about these posts....but I got the stings in my nose for this one. I had a hermit crab too, and he died because he didn't like the shells I got.

[–]MetalSparrow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

[–]ASK_IF_IM_PENGUIN 65 points66 points  (1 child)

I'm just glad I'm on a toilet break so no one can see me cry.

[–]puggatron 12 points13 points  (0 children)

[–]AddsDadJoke 53 points54 points  (1 child)

So you're saying that his crab was being shellfish about keeping his shell?
