Putting the finger on the dangers of...

owning pirhanas.......

Woman tried to clean piranha tank

A Russian woman had her fingers badly bitten when she tried to clean her son's fish tank, not realising it was full of piranhas.

The woman, from Saransk, told doctors she thought they were just well fed goldfish and wanted to do her son a favour.

But as she put her hands in to catch the fish they launched a frenzied attack on her hand, clamping onto her fingers and not letting go.

She only managed to get the fish off her hand by banging them against the side of the fish tank, and then called an ambulance to take her to hospital.

Doctors who treated her said she had been lucky not to lose her hand in the attack and that she needed extensive surgery.

The woman lost most of the flesh from two fingers in the attack, local media reported.

A neighbour said: "She had no idea the pet fish in the tank were predators."


If humans eat chicken fingers I guess fish eat human fingers....:rolleyes: :confused: :eek:

Um... why was she using her hands to catch the fish in the first place? i never catch my fish without a net.

Something about this story smells a little fishy to me. I wonder if they will start selling fingers at bait shops?

LOL - reminds me of my all time favorite Far Side cartoons. (now you'll all know what kind of sick sense of humor that I have)


Picture this if you will. Its a drawing of a pet store. In the front is a fish tank with a big scary fish inside and a sign that says "Pirahnna $29.95."

In the background is a picture of a forlorn cat. A very forlorn cat.

....

with two wooden front legs.

What? Goldfish aren't supposed to have a row of sharp pointy teeth on their bottom lip? Uh-oh.....;)
