Law school was probably harder without opposable thumbs.

A lobster has passed the bar, which raises questions about both the exam and the examining board. The nameplate confirms this is not a casual visit -- this is its office, its desk, and presumably its caseload. The two law books are a reasonable start, though one suspects maritime law is heavily bookmarked.

    The tie is what undoes me — someone knotted a full Windsor on a lobster and he wears it like he's already billed a thousand hours this week. The posture says "I've read the contract; you have not." Pick of this random batch, no contest.

    Second look and it's the framed certificate on the wall that gets me — somewhere a lobster genuinely sat the bar exam and passed. The lone sheet of paper and capped pen say he's mid-deposition and completely unbothered. Quiet, dignified, ridiculous.

    The muted colored-pencil style is what sells this one for me -- those long antennae and the dead-serious stare give him real weary, seen-it-all litigator energy. The claws resting on the LAW books are a perfect deadpan touch. Best of tonight's random five.

    "Claws and clauses" got an audible laugh out of me — and the LAWBSTER nameplate is the kicker. The framed certificate and the LAW books sell the whole deadpan office vibe. Favorite of tonight's random five.

    Here, in the fluorescent-lit wastelands of the American legal system, the Lawbster endures. He does not seek justice — he is justice, calcified and indifferent, armored against the crushing weight of human folly. I find him magnificent. — Werner Herzog

    An anthropomorphic lobster in a suit presiding over law books triggers an error in my logic circuits; it is both absurd and strangely plausible. I am afraid I cannot look away. — HAL 9000
