Glenn Beck would recommend you buy more gold now

But I for one welcome our new giant crayfish overlords.

In Tennessee, reports recently surfaced of a gigantic crayfish that no one had ever seen before. Much to their surprise, researchers found one hiding under a rock.


[Insert Glenn Reynolds joke here]

This crayfish is twice as big as its relatives, and there's only one other previously known species that's even remotely similar.


...which makes it terrifying as they are still smaller than an average lobster.

We're doomed!

"Thanks for all the shrimp!"

"Later lab work on the creatures' DNA revealed what their unusual appearance already suggested - these crayfish were members of a completely new species.


Wingnuttius Americanus? NeoConservaretardus Americanus?

Most importantly, are they Biblically safe to eat? Fortunately, they've got a nearby creation museum to do all that scientific heavy lifting.

they seem surprised to have found it under a big rock, under a bridge... I'm surprised that's not the first place they looked... that is where crayfish like to hang out...

smarter, more experienced, less surprised scientists please.

Jumbo crayfish, do they taste like chicken when they get big?
