There were some links to other interesting piranha stories on the right hand side of that article, as well, if anybody missed them. Gotta love all those close ups of their teeth. :smb:

Poor Piranahs!!! They're only biting the people because they messed up their habitat by damming the rivers. If I was a piranah, and someone did that to my home i'd bite too!

Serves them right. What are the piranha supposed to do? They're protecting themselves and thier future. Man is always trying to change things and it does nothing but screw Nature up even more.

I'm sure this won't help piranhas though as people will talk even more about how "evil" they are which is certainly not true and unjust, imo.
