Watched a programme on sky the other night about the congo and the fish that was in it. That is one mighty river and there is some crazy@ss fish in it. They used a fish with a million hooks in it to catch one of those tegerfish.

Hmm... I think I'd rather have my fu*king hand bitten off by a Tigerfish or an Eel, than have a mini-parasite get into my fu*king PEE HOLE!
