24 October 2007: Fishy Food Found Fleeing

People in the German city of Stuttgart couldn't believe their eyes the other morning when they spotted a group of crayfish scuttling down the street.

Police were called to arrest the errant crustaceans, which had escaped from an Asian food shop by squeezing through gaps in the grating on their tanks and leaving by the store's front door, which had been left ajar.

The police succeeded in recapturing them all, so the shop's customers did get their shellfish dinner that night. The recaptured crayfish didn't comment.
