You'll need bigger crackers

Post by MajGenl.Meade »

The crabs human see or eat are usually only six or so inches across their shells. An aerial image taken in the UK captured a massive crab, and is now garnering a lot of attention online. The aerial shot enables viewers to see the full body of the crab, including its pinchers and legs. It's estimated that the beast measures 50 feet long.

Quinton Winter, who runs a website devoted to the weird and unusual, is one of the folks who has seen the picture. Initially, he believed he was looking at a bizarre sand formation that bore a striking resemblance to a crab. However, he now thinks it is indeed a real-life crab -- one that he actually saw in person last summer. Winter explained, 'At first all I could see was some faint movement, then as it rose from the water I thought, 'That's a funny looking bit of driftwood.' It had glazed blank eyes on stalks, swiveling wildly and it clearly was a massive crab with crushing claws.'

The largest known crab in the world is the Japanese Spider Crab. They can measure 12 feet across from claw to claw and weigh up to 40 pounds.
For Christianity, by identifying truth with faith, must teach-and, properly understood, does teach-that any interference with the truth is immoral. A Christian with faith has nothing to fear from the facts

my only question is whether that is a fancy saltwater aquarium or if the pic was photoshopped

Photoshopped.


Question of the day: "What is the maximum possible size of a marine creature with an exoskeleton?"

Second question: "Many of the most diverse and successful animals are insects, why is the largest insect only 71 grams?."

Even the Snopes de-bunking post is from 2014.
I don't see the image on my screen. When I click on 'open image on a new tab' it says "service unavailable" .
