Behold, The Strawberry Crab
"Marine biologists from the National Taiwan Ocean University discovered a new species of crab off the southern Taiwanese coast. With a bright red shell covered with small white spots, the crab resembles a large strawberry." Unfortunately, the two crabs captured by scientists died in captivity shortly after, leading the biologists to discover that they tasted considerably less fragariant than they appeared.
Strawberries and crabs. Tale as old as time.
"The two strawberry crabs captured by Ho Ping-ho died shortly after being captured, possibly due to contaminated water in their habitat."
That would be the water you took them out of. When they were still alive.
"Possibly because the water they were put into was boiling" seems more likely.
Ho catches crabs. Film at eleven.
Even a Ho need to eat
Ho Ping-ho.
I just thought that bears repeating.
I like the spots. Very chic.
"Do you serve strawberries here?"
"We serve anybody, sit right down."
This thing is like that thing

Needs more butter.
"Strawberry crabcake" is so adorable it's making me wince in a Don't Touch Me Orgasm sort of way.
All right, when animals start evolving based on the appearance of Beanie Babies, this media saturation thing has GONE TOO FAR.
Yes, I am confused as to why this crab chose to evolve to look like something even MORE delicious.
How could you even think about eating something so utterly adorable? It would be like threatening to eat Choire!
I think the white and red is supposed to signify danger. It's why we just can't get enough of those bad boys The White Stripes, and why Canada always wins at ice hockey.
This has got to be viral marketing for some kind of "Hello Crabbie" character.
It's the parker bros. monopoly man!
Oh, dear crab, I regret what I must do next. *nom nom nom*
Walrus?
BUKKIT?
porn star?
A Google search reveals the only other hit for "fragariant" to be in an 1852 book on horticulture. HELP ME! Where does "fragariant" fall on the deliciousness scale?
(Because I'd like to eat that, see? Is what she said.)
an onomatopoeic typo?
