Yours truly, Trevor Corson, looking for lobster stuff. Got any? E-mail me
This was where I posted my irregular ramblings, reports, and pictures as the author of THE SECRET LIFE OF LOBSTERS from 2004 through 2006. This page is no longer active, and serves simply as an archive. To read new entries starting in 2007, please visit my new Lobster Blog.

CNN reports that another large lobster -- this one has been named "Bubba" -- has been saved from being boiled alive!

If you want to know what I really think about this issue, stop by the bookstore and take a quick read through the Appendix of my book, THE SECRET LIFE OF LOBSTERS. Hint: I think large lobsters should be released back into the ocean, too, but not for the humanitarian reasons PeTA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) proclaims. My sympathies are with the horny female lobsters pining on the ocean floor to have Bubba's babies -- babies that would have grown up to be more delectable dinner-plate delicacies than tough old Bubba could ever be. I doubt poor old Bubba will be getting much, er, tail in his new tank at the Ripley's Believe It or Not Museum.
