My neighbor served the most delicious crab dip at her party last night.

The , Macrocheira kaempferi , is a species of marine crab that lives in the waters around Japan.

It was a byproduct of commercial gillnetting, with no commercial appeal and was used only for crab bait.

It can move from a fertilized egg to a spat, which is when they're floating through the water, and when they're ready to attach onto another oyster, to an adult male oyster or female oyster, in a number of weeks.

Now, I said all these animals are sort of working like pogo sticks they're bouncing along as they move. And you can see that in this ghost crab, from the beaches of Panama and North Carolina.

We were freaks lobster claw boys and bearded ladies, oddities juggling depression and loneliness, playing solitaire, spin the bottle, trying to kiss the wounded parts of ourselves and heal, but at night, while the others slept, we kept walking the tightrope.
