“Fancy that!”
“No I don’t!”
End of a conversation with my son that had
started earlier that day with….
“Do you know that Lobsters are immortal?”
I didn’t.
Of course, being that this is my son
talking, someone who gets most of his information from Amaru - Amaru being
famous in our house for soaking the sofa in beer when asleep there and
apparently trying to drink whilst dreaming – I decided to check things out for
myself.
I didn’t have a Lobster at hand.
But a bit of googling, wikipediaing and
some cross-referencing later I had to admit he had a point.
Or a pincer perhaps.
It seems that The Lobster shares such
potential with a few other things, one of which is a type of jellyfish and the
others of which have complicated names.
It further seems that there are a number of
political parties that have taken Lobsterism to heart as their manifesto and
are pushing for policy to aid and abet longer lives.
Infinite.
Fancy that?
Not sure I do, but if you asked me why I’m
not sure that I could do anything other than mumble something about not being
able to keep promises.
