I randomly searched for "Lobster pain". Partly it was not a randomly selected subject to query for, because I had just been discussing the health of the Lobster and Crab meat varieties with a colleague of mine (They are actually fairly or even quite healthy - Lobster has no fat..and good a good amount of protein [as long as you don't soak it in butter], and Crab wasn't tooooo horrible..). Anyways, we were talking about that, and then my colleage said to me

"I don't know if I could throw a lobster on the grill while it's alive though. That just seems so cruel."

To which I replied:

"I don't think they throw them on the grill alive!"

Which then got me thinking about boiling lobsters...and hence the search, and basically the realization that their nervous systems are so simple that they don't experience pain! Wow!

Laters.
