My wife said that after I went to bed these guys started making lots of noise and when she opened the cooler in the dark they had blue light coming from their legs. Anyone ever see that? She doesn't drink...

Lobsters have the ability to create bioluminescence in there back 2 sets of legs. In a couple of studies I have read the bioluminescence becomes more prevalent when the lobster is excited. Either sexually or aggressively. So they were either VERY Excited to see your wife or they were upset about being in an ice chest. Being as Lobsters are cold blooded the way to handle this state of arousal is similar to how humans treat it. You or I would take a cold shower Lobsters need a hot bath followed by a dip in butter. Nice hall enjoy.
