Coconut crab: not as delicious as you think

So today I woke up feeling a little under the weather. But I figured I'd feel better later on. As the day has progressed, I haven't felt much better so I figured I'd text Natalie for some words of comfort. I sent her a text that said "I think I'm getting sick." She responded that I should eat soup and stay warm. I had just finished my cup of noodles while huddled up to my space heater at my desk, good advice. Then she told me to google "coconut crab" and that would make me feel better. And this is the image I was confronted with on the other side of that google search.



My first response was "AAAAHHHHH!!!!!! I don't like it! I don't like it!" While frantically trying to close the window (I hit maximize on accident, which just added to my horror). Natalie is the love of my life, but what the heck sweet heart?
"I feel sick."
"Oh check out this walking hell-beast that will give you nightmares for the rest of your life—you'll feel much better."
Ok so it wasn't that frightening. And I think it's hilarious that Natalie sent me to a picture of a gigantic crab to make me feel better. She is pretty darn funny—and cute.
