Horseshoe Crabs.

[Raven]

I'll never forget the day.....
out in the Aucoot Marsh Duck hunting
I'm in my first pair of brand new waders

With no ducks present we might as well shoot something
ANYTHING ....just for practice..... ok
this Guy Charlie grabs a DEAD horseshoe crab
and flies it like a frisbee to simulate a clay skeet (shoot...)

well ,the tail breaks off mid flight and sticks right
into my leg of the waders... too close to my nuts
i was really pissed!

and they all thought it was the funniest thing >>>EVER!

That is pretty funny, if they were old waders never would have played out that way

An old college fisheries professor, Joe DeAlteiri, used to raise them in the Chesapeake to sell to a biotech firm I believe. I think what makes there blood so different is that the cells use copper instead of iron to bind the 02, hence the green blood. Maybe they came from the planet Vulcan.

Well since you brought up the subject of GREEN BLOOD

i want to show you a side by side comparison
of Chlorophyll and Human Blood


there is only one mineral that's different ---other than that the
formulas of the components are identical

blood has magnesium (or Iron if its hemoglobin) "a very important mineral in our diet"
and chlorophyll has manganese

so it takes only eating/drinking green plants and one other element
to have all the components for making brand new blood cells,,,,

this is why i am an Avid vegetable grower
