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 This page is no longer active, and serves simply as an archive.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.

After the hate mail I've received lately from militant vegans in response to my article in Boston magazine about cooking lobsters, this e-mail from a gentleman named Paul was refreshing:
From reading your Lobster FAQ's, I have learnt that when lobsters "squeal" in boiling water, the high-pitched noise is actually the steam escaping from its body cavities. I have thought of an idea. Would different sized lobsters produce different tonations of "squeal"? If so, it may be possible to create a "lobster piano" in which lobsters of different size are released into the hot water with such timing that a tune would be played. Has one of these ever been made?
God bless you, Paul, you made my day. I don't know, but I sure as heck hope you make one and send us the recording.
