Lobsters! Not only do they have delicious meat, their shells have use too! Researchers at the University of Maine have developed a biodegradable golf ball from lobster shells. It’s cheaper than the typical biodegradable ball ($US0.19 vs $US1) and can be hit straight into the ocean without the environment weighing down on your game.
Left: Live lobster with its shell on. Right: Same lobster all clean and ready to be cooked after being dropped alive into a machine that blasts water at 40,000psi. They call it the Big Mother Shucker.
The lobster taser, which looks to me mostly like a lobster photocopier, is supposedly a more humane way of dispatching the delicious bottom-feeders than the normal “stab in the brain” or “boil alive” methods. Also, tasers.
