Braddy's Big Bug

I assume everyone has heard this story by now, but the Braddster has made international headlines this past week by co-authoring a description of a giant eurypterid. I heard a story about it on the radio this morning; they never mentioned Simon by name, but they did talk about his favorite hypothesis, and believe me, it's quite a shock to wake up to a description of mass-molt-mate behavior in sea scorpions...

How funny that this was on the news website of Belgian national television before I read the actual paper. As soon as they said it was a seascorpion, Braddy's mass molt thingy flashed through my head, over and over again. Oh the humanity...
