  2. @Wristaria way more than that... I learned about it in David Foster Wallace's book Consider the Lobster. A lobster is an overgrown roach that lives in the ocean, genetically speaking.

  3. @Wristaria Right, because insects don't live on the ocean floor, crustaceans do. I mean we all have a common ancestor, but if you can get past labels and look at the anatomical similarities....if I had a cockroach big enough you'd probably fail a blind taste test.

  4. @Wristaria I bet a giant cockroach would taste exactly like a lobster, minus the ocean vibe. They're both Arthropods. It's more like comparing a human to a chimp.

  5. @Wristaria Can't argue with that, lobster is indeed delicious. I think it's the Universes' sense of humor because roaches get so much hate.
