I can’t resist opening a closed thread or one that tells me to ignore it.

I guess I’m a wee bit obstinate.

Good grief, **QtM**. You’ve gotten more replies on this post than many other threads on the board. Does that say something about the collective state of Dopers? Is it that we can’t ignore a challenge? Is it that we defy authority? Is it Sunday? Is it possible I’m just babbling incoherently?

don’t answer that.

No, that **Autolycus** knows a fact about lobsters. Most people think he knows nothing about them, so the fact that he knows something is a “little known fact”.

I used to work in a restaurant kitchen with a guy named Sam. Sam told me a story once about another cook, who we’ll call Joe for convenience (Joe was long gone by the time I started at that restaurant).

One day, Joe shows up for work so hungover he’s still drunk. During the morning food preparation Joe falls asleep on a stool in the corner.

So Sam and the other cooks put a live crab on his lap. According to Sam, that woke him up pretty quickly.
