110-YEAR-OLD LOBSTER RETURNED TO THE SEA

A 21-pound lobster estimated to be 110 years old was released back into the open sea by a New York seafood restaurant. Butch Yamali, owner of Peter’s Clam Bar in Hempstead, Long Island, said Lorenzo the lobster has been freeloading— er, living at the eatery for years. He said freeing Lorenzo seemed like an appropriate way to celebrate National Lobster Day and Father’s Day. Lorenzo was returned to the sea at the Atlantic Beach Artificial Reef, just off the coast of New York.
* It’s okay, they gave him a little sweater for the chill because the ocean is so cold.
* They, of course, trained him in all the natural survival skills he’ll need once he’s back living on the reef, right? Right??
* Sadly, having been inside the restaurant for years, he couldn’t remember where any of his friends lived.
* At 110 years old, I bet he was pretty crabby.
