Tuesday Crustie: Know your Lamingtons

Canada has butter tarts. Australia has lamingtons.


But because Autralia is the lucky country, it not only has lamingtons as dessert, but Lamington as a bad ass crayfish:


I loved this description (my emphasis):

One of Australia's most unusual creatures, the Lamington spiny crayfish, lives there and has been known to startle bushwalkers by confronting them in battle stance, clicking claws and warning hiss.

It’s like this crayfish is trying to live up to this description of Australia from Douglas Adams:

Australia is like Jack Nicholson. It comes right up to you and laughs very hard in your face in a highly threatening and engaging manner.
