PORTLAND, Maine — A new Coast Guard rule has closed down fishing grounds around a remote Maine island following the discovery of unexploded bombs on the ocean bottom from when the Navy used the rocky outcropping as an aerial bombing range.

Were the bombs going to walk into the lobster pots?
Or were the lobsters going to get even and load them into the pots themselves?
I'm all for a little safety, but this seems a bit ridiculous.

The Coast Guard is taking comments on the measure until Dec. 7... Unintended irony alert. I hope.

Nope, although I bet he wished he had. ;)

Oh, okay. I thought some idiot was using them to catch the lobsters and I was wondering what good they are if they’re blown up.
