Thinking of Swimming in the Ohio River? Think Again.

[sholmes87]

A local angler, fishing in the Ohio, caught an 18-inch red-bellied piranha. You read that right. A piranha! Those amazonian lovelies that can skeletonize a cow in 2.3 seconds. That's a pic of one as my icon. Nice, innit? A fish and wildlife rep identified the fish and said it was most likely from someones private aquarium. This happened about 8

2.3 seconds? thats impressive

p.s. don't go swimming!

I think it takes more than one to do the cow thing but still...!

I haven't liked swimming in open water since Jaws. I feel a bit smug about it now.

Dude. WTF? Seriously. I mean, I know the Ohio is weird, but that seems to be pushing it a bit.

[sholmes87]

Seriously! The envelope will never be the same.

I'll save the newspaper article for you.

A piranha?! An 18-inch piranha?!
How did it end up in the river -- do they think somebody dumped it there?

*shakes head*
Ohio is getting stranger by the second...

That's what they think happened. But you never can tell for sure. It could be some nefarious fish plot.

Piranhas in the river and seventy degree temps on the last day of November.

Strange doesn't even come close!

I'm not sure a fish plot could be anything other than nefarious... ;-) Especially those involving piranhas!

Yeah, the weather has been a bit bizarre this week, huh? The wind has just started blowing something fierce here -- apparently the wife of one of my co-workers just called to say she watched a tree squash an SUV in their parking lot... I am *not* looking forward to the drive home...

Strange doesn't even come close!
hee, Truer words were never spoken.

[sholmes87]

That's a very good point. I'm glad I don't fish. *shudders*

JEEZ!! It's dropped about 20 degrees since I got up this morning. And we went to Wal-Mart (to get ready in case there's a blizzard) and on the way home...there was a tree blown down just past Reno!! I'm going to start looking for farmhouses if this keeps up!

Be careful going home/I hope the drive home was uneventful (depending on when you read this).

*shakes head in disbelief*

Hello. I prefer classic rock.

Right now, for some inexplicable reason, The Doors People are Strange is running through my head.
