The sign on this aquarium tank in China says, “Do not beat.” With my daughter posed the way she is, it’s somewhat ambiguous whether they mean the fish or the child. I think they mean not to tap on the glass. But just in case, I’ll be nice to the kid, too.

When I was growing up, my family was really into sasquatch and ufos and ghosts. We dug anything that wasn’t supposed to exist. The tendency to prefer magical explanations over mundane ones is pretty universal. Even pragmatic people get into horror stories in October. This giant crab, preserved at an aquarium in Qingdao, China, is proof that nothing we can imagine is as terrifying as what nature offers us. We entertain ourselves with magical stories, all the while ignoring a real world greater than anything we could imagine.
