4. Let me guess, Coconut Crab?
I think they are the largest species of terrestrial arthropod in the world. Though I could be wrong.

14. According to Wiki, they are a delicacy, but...
can be poisonous if they eat the "wrong" plants.

(Typically, the locals consider the poisopnous ones an aphrodysiac.)

9. I once picked up crabs in an elevator.
They were feisty, but I drove them back to the ocean and tossed them in.

What they were doing in an elevator I'll never no.

(true story)

12. Just like the show "Deadliest Catch"
I thought they should do a show called "Deadliest Crotch" to see who could catch the most body crabs
