    I've heard that in certain parts of the South Pacific they used to cook people that way. Especially good method for Jesuit priests, botanists and the like.

    ...although like crabs, they tend to crawl out of the pot...

    Still, looks mighty fine . . . though I do prefer yabbies and crabs.


    Something I found:

    Indeed lobsters are not only able to feel pain, scientists have also discovered that crustaceans can learn to anticipate and avoid pain — a reasoning historically thought of as a trait unique to vertebrates (animals with backbones, including us).

    When other animals, including humans, experience extreme pain, their nervous system may shut down as a coping mechanism. Zoologists have found that lobsters and other crustaceans don't have this ability to go into 'shock' so when they are exposed to cruel procedures (such as having their claws or 'tail-meat' torn off or being boiled alive) — their suffering is prolonged.

    The lobster does not have an autonomic nervous system that puts it into a state of shock when it is harmed. It probably feels itself being cut. ... I think the lobster is in a great deal of pain from being cut open ... [and] feels all the pain until its nervous system is destroyedInvertebrate zoologist, Jaren G. Horsley PhD.

    Scientists have found that it can take lobsters between 35 - 45 seconds to die when plunged into a pot of boiling water — and if they are dismembered their nervous system can still function for up to an hour.

    Every year, millions of lobsters meet their fate in a cooking pot. It's enough to make any lobster anxious ... and yes, new research has revealed crustaceans may experience anxiety — considered a complex emotion — in much the same way humans do. And they react to it just like many of us, too — by seeking out a safe space! French researchers have even discovered that stressed crayfish (a relation to lobsters) react positively when dosed with anti-depressant drugs — the very same ones used to treat anxiety in humans.
