I noticed recently that a shop with a permanent "HALAL MEAT & CHICKEN"
sign has a new paper sign in the window "WE NOW SELL PRAWNS AND KING
PRAWNS". That raises two questions for me:

(1) SAT-style:
treif : kosher :: X : halal ?

(II):
Are crustaceans not X?

This is just a misunderstanding. The shop is owned by Hal and Al, but
they used a budget sign painter.

I'm not sure where this leaves giant space lobsters, capybaras, and
candiru.

None of the shops around here sell any of those.
