Page 1 of Swedish men warned of crotch chomping fish

Quote:
Swedish men have been warned to keep their swimwear on while bathing in the Öresund Sound off the southern coast of Sweden after a relative of the piranha was discovered in the area.

"The pacu is not normally dangerous to people but it has quite a serious bite, there have been incidents in other countries, such as Papua New Guinea where some men have had their testicles bitten off," said Henrik Carl, fish expert at the Danish museum.

While Carl said the museum's warning about the pacu, sometimes known as the "ball cutter", was meant "as a bit of fun", human victims of the pacu are rarely laughing.

I suppose you could wear some kind of chastity belt whilst bathing

I used to be with it, but then they changed what `it` was.
Now, what I`m with isn`t it, and what`s `it` seems weird and scary

It would take balls for me to swim in there with the pacu.

I`m suddenly ever so glad I`m a girl ;)

One fish does not a swarm make

Somehow I think this makes the story (or actual lack of it) even more amusing. :)
