The origin of the one-armed crab lies in a relatively thin rock layer in the Spanish Pyrenees, which contains abundant fossils of crabs distinguishing themselves by having just one arm. Anyhow, long story, not very relevant, but since then I have gone out of my way to find one-armed crabs, real ones, living ones. See the Sumba entries, for instance. I didn’t have to be so picky, I now realise: there is a much easier way to create a one-armed crab. Lindy did so, for my last birthday! Life is so easy!!
