    My friend and I regularly watch T.E.D. videos and we came across an amazing Mantis Shrimp lecture (16 minutes long). It has cutting-edge high speed footage of smashing and spearing, great factoids and an astounding tidbit that I'll let you discover for yourself. Mantis shrimp lovers and marine hobbyists/biologists, enjoy.

    The link should work, but if not search mantis shrimp at www.ted.com

    Oh, and for those not familiar with T.E.D. I copied this from it's sight

    TED is a small nonprofit devoted to Ideas Worth Spreading. It started out (in 1984) as a conference bringing together people from three worlds: Technology, Entertainment, Design. Since then its scope has become ever broader. Along with two annual conferences -- the TED Conference in Long Beach and Palm Springs each spring, and the TEDGlobal conference in Oxford UK each summer -- TED includes the award-winning TEDTalks video site, the Open Translation Project and Open TV Project, the inspiring TEDx program and the annual TED Prize.
