What Keeps Propping Up Is Lobsters, Right?

Lobsters had been used by the native americans as fertilizer. The name lobster comes from an anglo saxon word that means spider. Lobsters in massachusetts in the 16 hundreds were so abundant that they were washing up on the shore in piles that were two foot high. There's a quote from from the colony at the time that says that lobster shells about a house are looked upon as signs of poverty and degradation.
