place to start a Red Lobster restaurant franchise!
Red Lobster. Hey with all those crabs we can ship them to Africa.
if you eat it its very posionus cause there would be no crabs and the whole island will be fat
There is no such thing as poisonous crabs cus they're meat is nearly 96 percent water
Poisonous Xanthid Crabs
Family Xanthidae
Order Decapoda
Most of the known poisonous crabs belong to this family.|
It is still not known how they accumulate the toxins, most of which are similar to those in puffer fishes (neurotoxins), or why they themselves are immune to it.
These toxins cannot be destroyed by cooking, and are extremely potent.
Get it right.
You're saying that they're poisonous cause they'll get you fat? Then you have a broad definition of the word poisonous.
Def. they could make millions!
Love the idea.. think i'll just do it!
I COULDNT LIVE LIKE THAT
GOOD IDEA
She gave me crabs.
yes we get what ur saying B-)
;)
but don't come to view between ........
DUDE its just one big CRAB ORGY ! :S
OMG the little baby crabbies were so cute!!!! I just wanna eat them all!!
They've underestimated the population in the title of this post... Basically; 120,000,000 millions crabs divided by females = 60,000,000 and each one lays 100,000 eggs, so the net numer of crabs is around 6 quadrillion (i.e. 6,000,000, 000,000,000 or rather 6*10 to the 14th power) *FERTILISED* eggs, and thus, just a bit less than that is the number of crabs (Babies and all) on the Island once you add the initial 120,000,000.
I've seen videos of the "Christmas crabs" migrating through town towards the beach before. That alone was impressive enough. But I have never, ever seen anything like the baby crabs working their way back inland! That is both amazing, and totally creeps me out at the same time.
Imagine trying to sleep at night knowing that at any moment any number of of these little red spider wannabees could walk right across your face?!? Pray that you don't sleep with your mouth open, is all I can say.
I would go some where eles for 3 months then come back
i love me some crab legs. the little ones would be like tic tacs.
Can anyone give me more information about this island? I would like to go there.
Definately one for David Attenborough and his crew.....
u can see the same thing in CUBA......and cheaper jeje
never go to Christmas island or bring baseball bat with you in case they try and take over.
hmm
don't they just eat em all or export them D: That's some good eatin' crab
female crabs putting eggs, they look like they're crappin
Ill never go hungry again!

the crabs will invade the world!!!!!
my skin is crawling - ewwww!!!
I know exactly what you mean! (shiver)
Get the airline tickets, crab shell crackers, and draw up that butter!!
I'll bet they sell a lot of butter there.
I have seen a program about Cuba couple of months ago and there were exactly the same pictures like in this video. (like the one when a car is driving over them or when the crabs are climbing on the building).
let s eat them!
Why are crab legs so expensive?
once they take the legs, there's rehab for the crabs, counseling, medicine, walkers and wheelchairs. It's only 'till their legs grow back, but it's still expensive.
That completely freaks me out!! They look too much like big spiders... (shiver)
them walking sideways? Ya just walk until you bump into something?
Exactly like me when I've had a tiny bit too much wine!! (My cupeth overfloweth)
YOU'RE the one that's probably the life of the party, Swanie!!! And don't even TRY to tell me you've never put a lamp shade on your head! HA HAAAA!
bed pan.... now that's a different story.. lol
No baby ruth's, hopefully! :o)
I bet you that little "bonhomme" at the end of your comment looks just like you!
Cute! :o) (If you studied french.. well then you know what a bonhomme is, don't you?)
a light, chicken gravy? I remember that 'bon' is good and homme is human, right? And I guess it sort of looks like me, with my head tilted to the side, like when I'm eating a taco or a hear a dog whistle.
You better ask for your money back on that French course you took Dragos! and we call hot dogs.. Le hot dog. (only the French french can't for some reason pronounce the 'h' so it's "le ot dog") Also the French french put an "h" before words that start with "a". example: (hehe) asshole is pronounced "hassole" . Now aren't you glad you're getting all these french lessons for free? I'm accepting your thanks as I type.
