Now The Crabs Are Dying

And there's more: "Thousands of dead crabs have washed up along the Kent coast, with environmental experts believing the cold weather in Britain is to blame. The Velvet swimming crabs – also called devil crabs – are thought to be victims of Britain's coldest December in 120 years, which left sea temperatures much lower than average. More than 40,000 of the crabs – Britain's largest swimming crab – are littering beaches around Thanet, along with smaller numbers of whelks, sponges and anemones."

Sure, environmental "experts" may claim that the die-off was weather related, but how do they explain the tiny knives found plunged into the back of each crab?

Damn. I thought they would have been glassed.

In the upcoming Bond epic, Live and Let's Dine, Roger Moore, Pierce Brosnan and Timothy Dalton team up to consume 14 trillion Asian Carp dispatched by the sinister Dr. Ernst Blofish before the earth's entire supply of cocktail sauce can be eliminated.

What's a dead whelk gotta do to get a headline around here?

Well, I guess I don't need this lice remover anymore.

After the birds and the bees died off, the crabs had nothing left to live for.
