Boling lobsters reminds me of the story Julia Childs (sorry to lose
her!) told a woman's group she spoke to in Aspen a few years ago. She
told the group she had found a painless way to cook lobster. She put
them live in the microwave. Naturally, one audience member asked her
how she knew when they were done. Julia replied, "When they stop
banging on the microwave door!"
Only Julia!
