I'd like to make a witty comment but it would come across far to racist.

boxt ...have you ever seen the teeth on a pirahna? The guy I was with had his middle figure missing and that was from 'just one of them' lol.....
Lucky i was in a boat fishing for them at the time. The third one i caught took offence to me trying to remove the hook from his mouth. It hit me about 5 times in half a second and drew shxt loads of blood. The guide I was with thought it was hilarius and got me to drip my blood over the side. Within seconds there were bloody hundreds of them to catch.
Its the first time ive been fishing and not had to keep quite. The way to attract them is to get a stick and beat the living daylights out of the surface of the water for ten seconds. The fish think something is in trouble in the water and hey presto along they come. Then you throw a few metres of line over the side with a chunk of beef attached and wait.
The amazing thing is that the hook is attached to the line using 3mm coiled steel. This is supposed to stop the fish chomping through the line when its on the hook. However the little bleeders still chomp through the wire sometimes. The power in their teeth is un-real
If you get a screwdriver and let a pirahna grab hold of it, it sounds like a hammer drill. They can bite loads of times every second... evil little basxtards

Once asked a mate if he fancied setting up an aquarium for Piranha - his reply was...
"No - cos I'd get in from the pub pished and put my c*ck in the tank"
good a reason as any I suppose...

Have been bitten by a Baboon while in South Africa (it somewhat hurt to say the least.........).
Also have been bitten by a Squirrel (I was trying to rescue the thing from getting shredded by the mutts) and ended up in A&E.....I had a succession of visitors and often heard sniggering 'you gotta check out the guy who got bit by a squirrel'. Took me a long time to live down.............
But then I've also been bitten by a mole, goat, tortoise, the usual gerbils/hamsters (nasty little ******* IMO) and a West Island White Terrier.

Unfortionately it was not making any progress as there was no fin or tail for it to swim with.
There was another slightly smaller Piranha with a mouth shaped chunk (just like the ones in cartoons) on the under side of its stomach where its intestines are........when it ate bloodworm they would come straight out of the hole in its stomach.
Meanwhile there were two (one of which was a big ***** for its age) Innocently hiding in the corner of the tank.
