Candirú

February 23rd, 2004

Every so often, FARK comes up with something truly wierd. This is one of those times. A fish that reportedly wedges itself in your urethra. What really got me though, was a short, largely hidden quote towards the end:

There are no confirmed reports of deaths or penectomies–several cases of the latter are thought to have run afoul of piranha.

Because if there’s one thing worse than a Candirú up your urethra, it’s a piranha biting it off entirely.
