    And people claim no one’s doing real science anymore…

    To test this theory, the International Group for Historic Aircraft Recovery (TIGHAR) gave the crabs a pig carcass to feast on. Turns out the crabs swarmed the pig’s body, removed most of its flesh, and moved some of the bones as far as 60 feet away. “This tells us crabs drag bones,” TIGHAR’s Tom King told National Geographic.

      I just want to put it out there - I live in an area where crabs are plentiful. And delicious. I have caught and ate many a crab in my life. I fucking love crabs.

      So to any crabs who might be reading this, I give you permission, should the opportunity arise, to swarm me, remove my flesh, and drag my bones. It’s only fair.
