The stuff of nightmares

  

Is it just me, or is this one of the scariest things ever?
If I lived in a place that had these I would never be without a shotgun.

from The WebEcoist

"This is not shopped. This is not a hoax. That is a giant crab on a garbage can.
They’re native to Guam and other Pacific islands. Coconut crabs aren’t endangered,
per se, but due to tropical habitat destruction they are at risk. In WWII, American
soldiers stationed in the Pacific theater wrote home with tales about entire atolls
being covered in the armor-plated giants. These crabs can crack a coconut in one
swipe; but they’re generally too slow to be very dangerous to humans."

Notice "generally"   If it can crack a coconut, what would it do with a skull?

Holy Shit! A New Post!!

Seriously though, i have never heard of those before. How can that be? The presence of those in the area would definitely keep me from ever getting drunk enough to pass out. Although i might get drunk enough to take baseball bat to one of those and then boil it...

What horror! If I saw this on the street, I'd probably lost consciousness from fear!

I guess that from this post,they get a changeable for the benefits of a reader so that they can make it a habitual plan.
