Update: Hmmm. So UARS didn’t come down yet. Ha! Ha, Mitchell! Just goes to show you that when you start taking about physics it’s never “as easy as all that”.
I continue to be less than concerned.

Been a hell of a week in LemurHouse.
All the same reasons with a few really scary new ones but hey, it’s only another 8 days until I see the surgeon, right?
Short post – this whole article made me immediately think of Brazilian waxing, for some reason. Piranhas attacking beachgoers in Brazil. I think the ol’ brain thought of getting bitten in the privates and the reported pain involved in waxing… down there.
Neither one sounds very appealing.

Friggin’ pirahnas. Another reason to stay out of the ocean. At least with sharks, one has at least an illusion of fighting it off and getting to safety. Give Jaws the old bop on the nose and supposedly that hurts it enough to make it back off.
But what can one do with a swarm of 200+ ravenous pirahnas?

Uh, bop 200+ fish on the nose?
Okay… using mainly spoons… *shrugs*
I give up. I got nuthin’.

Make sure you swim with someone who can’t swim as fast as you.
Piranhas at the beach? I thought they were river fish.
Stupid movies.
Hope your home goes back to mundanely normal soon.
piranhas are freshwater only but there are a lot of fish in the sea that will bite. i was on a pier at Myrtle beach some years back watching people catch great white babies about 8-12 inches long. one guy lost the tip of a finger trying to get one off his hook.
Um…if you look up where the city Terezina is located, you’ll find it is a landlocked location. It is situated between two rivers, not by the ocean, so piranhas would be quite happy living there. I must say, though, feeding the piranhas tilapia to keep them from biting tourists seems counter productive. “Hmmm, we don’t want the overpopulation of piranhas to scare off our business, so we’ll FEED them, thereby sustaining the overpopulation, leading to more severe overpopulation…oh. Maybe that isn’t so smart of an idea. Maybe we should figure out a way to kill them instead.”
Catching great white babies? Franken-boy’s latest book that he’s trying to read by himself is all about sharks. Oh, the things I’ve learned! Those people are crazy, even if they were catching pups. “Hmmm. Just for fun, I think I’ll try to catching snakes by hand. The more poisonous, the better! Think of all the adventure!”
well there you go, it said beach and i didn’t think of a lake or river. the great white catch was not on purpose. most of the people there were hoping for flounder.
LOL!!! Too funny! (Except to the person who lost their fingertip. Ouch.)
I go fishing for white babies but they’re not particularly great.
