The above
question is the title of a recent New York Times article.
A couple
of my friends are lobsters, and so I showed them this article.
I recorded their brief conversation:
ROB:
Why Are
Lobsters Blue, and Why Does Cooking Turn Them Red?
Just what
kind of question is that?
MARY:
Yeah,
what kind of question is it?
They’ve
got to be kidding?
You want
to know why we’re blue and then turn red?
I’LL TELL
YOU WHY.
We’re blue because we know that soon we’ll be killed
in a boiling pot of hot water!
We turn
red because WE’RE IN THAT BOILING POT OF WATER!
ROB:
Right.
Hey Mary, let’s get the heck out of here before
our blue butts start turning red!
MARY:
O.K.
Just let
me get my sweater, I think it’s cold outside.
ROB:
Skip the
sweater!
I hear
our killers coming!
MARY:
O.K.
Let’s skedaddle!
IT’S
ABOUT RENEWABLE RESOURCES!
