NYC eatery grants freedom to lobster centenarian

NEW YORK – A 140-year-old lobster once destined for a dinner plate received the gift of life Friday from a Park Avenue seafood restaurant.

George, the 20-pound supercentenarian crustacean, was freed by City Crab and Seafood in New York City.

"We applaud the folks at City Crab and Seafood for their compassionate decision to allow this noble old-timer to live out his days in freedom and peace," said Ingrid E. Newkirk, president of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals.

PETA spokesman Michael McGraw said the group asked City Crab to return George to the Atlantic Ocean after a diner saw him at the restaurant, where steamed Maine lobster sells for $27 per pound. George had been caught off Newfoundland, Canada and lived in the tank for about 10 days before his release.

Some scientists estimate lobsters can live to be more than 100 years old. PETA and the restaurant guessed George's age at about 140, using a rule of thumb based on the creature's weight.

He was to be released Saturday near Kennebunkport, Maine, in an area where lobster trapping is forbidden.

"Fuck" ...

clams, crabs
and other mollusk
burrowing in oceanic sands

the tide is high and
clams, crabs
and other mollusk
don't give a fuck about
football, Dow-Jones and Allah
= = = They're just trying to
survive the tide attacking like
shrap metal from a
suicide bomber


!^&)(*^$#@!&^%$#!)(+___+)(*^&!@%


laughter strikes
the heart of the lonely
jealousy kills potential

the world is an abyss where the
ignorant live in peaceful bliss
while intellectuals go bald
watching none of the worlds
problems solved


!^&)(*^$#@!&^%$#!)(+___+)(*^&!@%


The most miserable
son-of-a-bitch
just hasn't fully awakened
yet;

"Awake.
shake dreams
from your hair ...
choose the day
&
choose the sign of your day
the days divinity"
