“Resting my eyes”… :-D
Side note: are some crabs effectively immortal?
I understand this to be the case with certain simple species, but I’d never heard that about a crab, before.
I’m not qualified to answer directly. I studied rocks and maps. But, likely no.
I also wondered if this was a reference to the longevity of some crustaceans like lobster, which can live for at least decades. But I think it’s more about thinking of somewhat nonsensical, non-sequitur topics as one often does when daydreaming.
lobster, which can live for at least decades.
Based on the links OP supplied, that’s seemingly only true of lobsters which are in cold-water environments, which slows their metabolisms down.

Yup, hence my side-note.
The Spanish person sat next to me has never heard of this.
Is it regional?
I think it’s mostly historical. The quotes listed have authors born before the 1940s.
