When Fish Attack

Not worthy of a true “Gun Death?” post, I thought I’d share this story:

Piranhas on a Christmas Day feeding frenzy injured some 60 people in the Argentine city of Rosario, officials said Thursday.

Those injured in the attack Wednesday by the ferocious fish included a girl who lost part of a finger, Health Undersecretary Gabriela Quintanilla told reporters.

Piranha attacks are fairly rare, despite what early Hollywood adventure movies might lead one to believe. Still this story is pretty foolish, given the amount of actual injuries sustained are less than your average highway traffic accident.

This is what passes for national news. Fish bites man!
