"Contestants in today's beauty pageant in
Ocean City, N.J., will wear shells instead of swimsuits. After
all, to be crowned Miss Crustacean, you must be a hermit crab.
Forty clawed crawlers will vie for the title already won by such
legends as Copa Crabana, Crabunzel, and Santa Crab. The winner
of the 22nd annual event gets a loving cup corked with a cucumber,
which represents a year's supply of hermit crab food." (The
