Mmm, lobstah. Looks like a Spiny Lobster (?) Palinurus or something like it? Just a guess.

It has a rather photoshopped feel to it. Although the critters legs do appear to cast shadows on the girls hands, there's something amiss about the way her hands are next to the lobster. Also, I don't think that either creatures quite fit the background.

I can't find the link now but there are a bunch of additional photos in Pravda, the Russian paper. Admittedly none quite as impressive though.

Here are the pictures:

If that's a spiny lobster, they can indeed grow that big. Though I still can't shake the feeling that there's something off in those pics.

I love chowing down on spiny lobster like da guy next to me. Did not realize they got that massive. Guess that cold water makes'um not just more body, but girth as well. Around where I live, they get topped off at no more than 14". Cost big money in the fish monger stalls as well.Whew!

The reason that Man U are in debt (and the massive interest payments move them towards break-even/loss) is because the Americans who bought the club used a debt mechanism to acquire it, and managed to land the debt on the club rather than themselves. It has nothing to do with their spending (if anything, it has artificially constrained it).
...thanks...
