http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giant_isopod
Giant isopods are of little interest to most commercial fisheries owing to the typical paucity of catches and because ensnared isopods are usually scavenged beyond marketability before they are recovered. However, in Northern Taiwan and other areas, they are not uncommon at seaside restaurants, served boiled and bisected with a clean lateral slice. The white meat, not dissimilar to crab or lobster in texture, is then easily removed.

That's not a bug!

But it is close enough to please me. I was worried it was going to be the terribly boring digital kind.

Ha ha ha ha!

I (cleverly, as it turns out) logged on from lynx today (to check in
with some friends before the boycott), which means I KNOW NOT TO GO
BACK AND LOOK AT THIS.

Bugs!
