    Last night I probably heard my pistol shrimp snap about 100 times. Now since it was probably 12 at night, I didn't bother to check as I suspected he was snapping at nothing which he sometimes does.

    So I have a reptile style metal hood with a fluorescent daylight bulb on my fuge and somehow my son knocked it into the fuge.
