There's a Lobster on my desk!

A new website is launching lobsters into cyberspace. It's based inside a trap under the waters of Spruce Head, where a camera sends a new photo to an Internet site every two minutes, sometimes showing a caged crustacean poking its antennae around or climbing across the lens. The Lobster Cam was set up by the University of Maine's Lobster Institute to help advance science while having a little fun in the process. The first graduate student who worked on the project ended up with a waterlogged camera. The pictures can only be seen during the day until a burnt-out light in the trap is fixed, but you've got to see this site to believe it!
