Piranha Found in the River Thames!

A picture released by Britain's Environment Agency February 19, 2004, shows a South American Piranha that has been fished from London's River Thames. The 4 inch-long Red Bellied Piranha was dropped this week by a passing seagull onto the deck of a boat whose task is to oxygenate the river. It is thought the fish had probably been released into the river, which is too cold to support piranhas, and then floated dead to the surface before being picked up by a seagull. (Reuters)

LOL, some kid probably released it, from their
aquarium. My brother had a "pet" pirhanna named
"Smaug" (after the dragon in the Hobbit trilogy)
when we were teenagers. I think that he
had decided that it was protecting the pot
plants that were growing under his desk, until
my parents discovered them, anyway! :lol: :lol: :lol:

P.S. He's a Southern Baptist preacher, now... ;)
