Ever Wonder Where Abalone Comes From?

[RBSinTo]

I remember some people telling me when I was younger that you had to harvest these and then scrape them out and then pound the hell out of them and then fry them and eat them. They didn't taste that good.... let 'em run free, as far as I'm concerned. Putting humans in charge of the planet is a bad idea.....

Indeed it is, but when the decision was being made, the Rhinocerouses ( Rinoceraii??) Cocker Spaniels, Dung Beetles et al didn't get a vote, so Homo Rectal Orifices won by default.
And voila!
