While both are in the phylum Arthropoda (jointed appendages), cockroaches are classified in the class Insecta and lobsters are classified in the subphylum Crustacea.

HAHAHAHA. WHAT?

All I see when reading that is lobsters = sea roach...buwhahahahaha.

You're right it doesn't quite dent that image.

Thanks for the info!

HAHAHAHA. WHAT?

Lobsters are crustaceans, roaches are insects.

Lobsters are crustaceans, roaches are insects.

What other things are crustaceans? Anything edible?

Crabs, shrimp, crawfish, etc... Basically anything that lives in water, has a shell and usually claws.

So anything that reminds me of roaches?

buwhwhahaha.

Isn't that sad? I am serious when I say I LOVED Lobster but something about that idea just stuck in my head...even though it is not what I "heard" it to be...the facts I mean.

Why do people have to ruin a good thing?

Though I can say now..just thinking about some lobster...I can probably convince myself with time lobsters and roaches aren't cousins.

This is a little off topic...but I watched a tv show once and they said lobster is in the same "family" as the cockroach. The same body segments or something...I'm not going to pretend to know something I don't..hehe.

I have called lobster "cockroach of the sea" for years, but this is the first I've heard of it being in the same family. My nickname for them came about after a "Dateline" story where a guy killed a woman and disposed of her in lobster beds...when they found her, there was little left to identify.

I haven't eaten lobster since. Maybe there was something to that whole Levitical thing (ya THINK!)

I was never wild about choco-covered raisins, (usually because the chocolate they use is waxy and not very good) but I'll never eat another one now without remembering this description, thanks a lot!

See what I mean? Some people ruin it for everyone!

I'll never be able to eat another.

Buwhahahaha. Good idea.

Maybe there was something to that whole Levitical thing (ya THINK!)

Yup.

but we can hijack a thread something FIERCE, can't we?

HAHAHAHA. Points is points as LW says.
