It is now believed that the Coconut Crab carried off Amelia Earhart's bones after she crash landed on a deserted island in the Pacific Ocean.

They taste like lobster and are prized for being an aphrodisiac.

I want one on my table, with me holding a hammer and vice-grips... Oh, and some melted butter with a little garlic.

Nothing a little Old Bay wouldn't fix. Oh, and throw in some sausage, potatoes, and corn on the cob. What are we talking about again?

Awesome!

I couldn't eat a creature that's lived for 60 years, no matter how delicious.

From what I learned from anthony bourdain, the coconut crab has a delicious pocket of coconut fat in its abdomen. If I kicked ones ass in a knife fight or something I would eat it. I wouldnt ask anyone else to attempt to kill one for me though. A bastard that big deserves the respect and honor of hand to hand combat.

I agree, but if one of them somehow got lost and wandered up onto my deck, he'd be on the grill immediately... That would be the humane thing to do.
He wouldn't live long in Lake Erie, and it wouldn't do much good to just pick him up and point him towards the nearest ocean.

my guess is thats Lucifers trashcan, and instead of racoons getting into your garbage, in Hades you have giant, man eating radioactive crabs from hell

Why does it seem like all the really cool animals have some douchebag in some douchbag culture somewhere think that it's an aphrodisiac? Really? You need to eat a 60 year old sea-bug to get a boner? Cmon. Maybe it's just you.
