Big old lobster avoids date with NYC dinner plate

A huge lobster that was destined to adorn a dinner plate is back in the ocean after a New York City restaurant granted him a reprieve.

The lobster was "rescued" by some PETA members (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals)--with the cooperation of the restaurant--and returned to the ocean near Kennebunkport, Me.

The lobster's age is estimated to be 80-140 years.

I think any lobster that can evade the fishermen's nets for that many years deserves to end his life in happy retirement.

What a happy thought...

Looked a bit dopey before they put it back in the water... I suspect it got half way through the wine list before they chucked it back.

I hate to think what the wife said when he got back.
... and just where do you think you've been mister ?
What's that cow's name ?
... I'm not interested in your lousy story. You think I was born yesterday. I've known you for a 140 years now and you cant use that old trick on me. You tried that old story back in 1914. huh! yada yada yada :bash:
