Does anyone know of any good literature about St. Myron of Crete? I have found the link listed below, and the wiki article. When I type his name into Amazon all that comes up is a necklace and bags of concrete.
I'm looking into the saints, considering praying to them and it's frankly not clicking w/ me. Maybe that's a better question...what should I be doing when I'm praying to a saint? What I have read about Myron seems interesting and I'd like to try to connect more to a saint, so far he's the only one, outside the Theotokos, that is interesting to me.
Maybe I'm off track and am overthinking it? At any rate at a minimum any literature on him would be helpful.
Because they are shellfish.
He was having a shell of a bad day. He was very crabby, and a bit salty. I'll help him out a pinch.
Recently found out that even captivity raised prawns are horrible: they crush or tear off the eyes of the females, which produce behaviour that looks like they experience pain and suffering. And already knew that ocean prawns are awful for the environment as well...
Anybody even heard of raising one's own prawns or other crustaceans like crabs or crayfish? Found a lot of resources for large scale production with permits and such, but I'm talking about an occasional meal for a family of three level of production.
Thoughts?
I love the pets on this game. I was trying to think of what could be added for new pets. And I thought of Crustaceans. Crabs, or to this game "Ocean Crawlers". We have a whole style for all cosmetics with this, an enemy type that looks like Mutant Crabs, why not normal crabs as pets.
The First type is the Crab. Normal crab you'd find on the beach. The Second could be a Fiddlers Crab, which is a crab with one small claw and an oversized claw. And the Third can be a Large Hermit Crab. Colors for all could be the Ocean Crawler theme with Light Blue and Orange Then others could be sandy, rocky and cartoony reddish orange.
Now cause Collectors Pets are really cool, imagine a Collectors Hermit Crab where it's hiding in a Pirate Skull. Obviously not the same skull you'd get from Bounties.
Now just Imagine sailing the sea, then you hear clattering, just to look down to see a small crab trying to be threatening but is actually being really cute. And when playing Music, the crab could do the Crab Rave... I'm serious.
Like, chefs don't typically also kill mammals just before cooking them, those animals are dead for days before being eaten sometimes. Why do crustaceans need to be killed just before being cooked?
Here they are: Kings Crustacean and Charing Crustacean.
In my fantasy world, merfolk have domesticated a species of crustaceans, some the size of a large pig and a few the size of cattle for use as beasts of burden. They are used to move large boulders and carry weight. In real life, giant arthropods are impossible, but I would want to know what changes could be made to make cattle-sized crustaceans more plausible, and I will use magic as a handwave if necessary.
The crustaceans' size might be a result of a mix between domestication and magic changing them.
I'm trying to figure out if there are obvious big discrepancies between the types of life out there...
It was just a big tank in Neelix’s galley for space lobsters.
