Holy crab! thats huge!

Photo spotted on Digg. Here are some info about the so called Coconut crab on Wikipedia.

"The coconut crab is admired for its strength, and it is said that villagers use this animal to guard their coconut plantations. A coconut crab may attack a person if it is threatened. The coconut crab, especially if it is not yet fully grown, is also sold as a pet, for example in Tokyo. The cage must be strong enough that the animal cannot use its powerful claws to escape."

Man dies from the crab he was preparing for dinner

In Singapore a man pricked by a live crab he was preparing for dinner died 48 hours later in a rare case of flesh-eating bacteria. The doctors told that he had been infected by a rare flesh eating bacteria called Vibrio.

My mother always told me to make sure that your dinner is dead before cooking it. Don't worry cooking will destroy the bacteria, so crab is still my favorite sea food. Preparing a live crab however, I'll leave it to the professionals.
