Yeah, well, crabs often have two vaginas.

That's true, James.

Because that's a huge mound.

Yeah, animals will eat them.

Or they'll just kind of break down into sand and sort of just general stuff at the bottom of the sea.

Well, there is chitin.

So crab shells are made out of chitin.

And there's a new treatment for bullet holes.

Because chitin's got a thing where it's extremely absorbent.

It swells up loads and is antibacterial and stuff.

So you can make these like plugs and it's like a new thing that they're using in hospitals for like gunshot wounds and sort of stab wounds and stuff.

But it's derived from crab shells and it swells up inside the wound and blocks off all of the capillaries and prevents further bleeding.

Yeah, it's a pretty common thing.

People come up to us and be like, oh yeah, so I heard we're all turning into crabs.

So you're saying no, is your prediction.

I'm going to say no to that.

Crustaceans do turn into crabs, but yeah, crabs also turn into shrimp and prawns turn into lobsters and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

And that's all sort of pretty fluid.

All of this takes a really long time, millions of years.

And the word crab obviously doesn't predate humans being a thing.
