That Horseshoe crab has got trainers, probably because its blood chemistry is based on copper and not iron.

they've got that great blue blood that people keep sucking out of them to experiment on?

And they talk with a sort of Mexican accent, or a least the ones on Animal Magic did in the 70's. I think they are posionous except for the eggs which the Japanese eat, I'd expect.

rocked. telly's shit now in comparison. when i lived in melbourne, some of the vietnamese fish shops had tanks of live horshoe crabs on the pavement. I often wondered about buying one as a pet, but i think i'd have been a bit scared it would grow to enormous size and attack me in the night.

crabs have claws? Can horse's really wear them - I think it would be a painful mess for both parties.

they have stylish trotters. You can make your very own trotters by wasting lots of brown packing tape - tape your little finger to your ring finger, carry on winding the tape round your hand to your wrist, and then tape up your middle finger and index finger with your thumb taped underneath them. Keep taping until all skin is covered...and voila! A magical trotter hand. Try skinning up with both hands trotted up...a task and a half
