So Crabby

Canada has discovered the Surly Finnish Crab. Like Finns, it gets irritable and stabby if you get within 3 meters of it.

Random fact: Apparently, there's a kind of daphnia (tiny water critter) or something that is quite common in creeks and rivers in Canada and the US -and also in one river in Denmark. Research indicated they've been in that river for about a 1000 years. Since they are strictly freshwater-only creatures, the most logical explanation is they hitched a ride in viking water barrels filled in Vinland before the vikings returned home (cleaning out their barrels of the by then pretty stale leftover water in that one Danish river).

@Anfawen

Thank you for that very interesting bit of fact!

Not to question you or anything - but do you happen to have a link to a source on this as well? I would like to read more about it, of possible.

Canada is too sweet for the world

PEOPLE! If your crap is green PLEASE go see you doctor immediately!

@Motlias ... this joke doesn't work as well now they corrected the spelling from crap/craps to crabs XD

I understand that both craps and crabs are available in Las Vegas.

@AttundaViking that's a good pun!

@AttundaViking Well, thanks to Brazil crabs aren't as big of a problem anymore. Remember kids, choose your trade partners carefully!

Mess with the crabbo. Get the stabbo

The green crabs are our answer to all those racoons, muskrats and gray squirrels which invaded Europe wrecking havoc on our ecosystems.

So give me your lunch!!!

Guess there's only one thing to be done.

Seafood party!

@ShoggothOnTheRoof Can an oil tanker be repurposed to haul clarified butter? Asking for a friend....

@TuxedoCartman I'm sure it can.

...and thus said the scientist, after being attacked by something green that was luring in the water: "oh crab!"

@ImportViking Well played.

Oh man up Canada. In the US, the crab would have a GUN.
AND a license to carry it.

@spike0xff
Actually, if you read more of the articles about them, the Canadian green crabs are moving south and kicking the shit out of the more docile, US-water-native crabs.
Your US crabs might NEED guns!

(Also, the only Canadian "having trouble" with these hyper-aggressive little beasties, is the single poor marine-biology student who's stuck with the job of catching the grabby little bastards to study. Every time he tries to grab one, they grab onto him first. Just get the poor intern some gloves!)

@spike0xff and thus, the crab received 17 warningshots... in the back...
