Actually you can also forget the 'the' and add an 's'.

YUM !!!! 6kg Lobster !

A fisherman in Bermuda was stunned when he pulled in a giant lobster that weighed six kilogrammes.

"After never seeing something that size before I decided it was best for it to go back to the home he came from."
The fisherman said he returned him back to the water, and went swimming with the creature for nearly a half hour before watching the lobster regain strength, and take off.

Ah yes, this.... "man".

I can only work on a few theories:

• Typical dumb response, i.e. in non-PC terms, this is the "dumb blonde" reaction
• Deliberate troll, perhaps protemp to Trump, so any reaction (even a bad one) = win

...and then your typical other types that basically take it exactly as it appears and thus we have a moron.

I didn't actually know "meninism" existed, as opposed to anti-feminism. Still, this has nothing to do with the topic at hand.

To be absolutely, brutally honest, I don't know how it's taught in schools these days, but men (particularly young men) have a pretty poor knowledge of that part of the female system (no rude jokes). I remember there was a tampon ad which kind of played on this - a man was playing with his partner's tampons with the cat, pretending they were fake mice that the cat tried to bat around. I am certainly no expert either and if there was an exam I'd be lucky to pass, but I know enough without looking up Dr Google or Wikipedia that that jerk is way off the mark (biologically) with his statement.

Any mothers here who have sons - do they know?

Personally I'm going with "moron"

I don't understand the 'likes' that this attracted.

The guy had 6kg of lobster in his hands ... and let it go? :shock: Maybe the tail would be old and tough, but I'd be prepared to give it a go, together with some friends and a nice crisp white wine. And just look at those long, lithe legs .... {drools}

My thoughts are, the thing that old and big cant taste very good – no matter how much garlic and butter you put on it and for it to be that old/big, let it go. It earned the right to die in the ocean and not a boiling pot of hot water.

I imagine the experience of swimming with it then watching it recover and swim away was more gratifying than a meal of seafood.

I don't think it's anything to do with the quality of the meat; it's more that this is a magnificent creature who has survived many years and deserves to be released, rather like putting back really big fish that you have caught. It seems not right somehow to kill the animal.
Besides that where is he going to find a pot big enough

It's something different... (and has a picture)

My most intellectual posts normally don't attract many likes, but when I post something funny or amusing I get 20+ likes... Go figure.

Intellectual posts

There were the posts about space travel and the speed of light ect that was interesting

What I walked away from that is knowing that 10yrs of watching Stargate didn’t really teach me much.
