Angler in Illinois catches what may be a piranha
Well, in Joliet, Illinois, an angler caught a fish that might just turn out to be a piranha. Yes, that fish. He was fishing in waters warmed by a generating plan on the Des Plaines River.

Judging from a photograph Johnson took, the fish could be a red-bellied South American piranha, said Melissa Kruth, a spokeswoman for the Shedd Aquarium in Chicago.

Check out this absolutely crazy story. A 38 year-old man was out kayaking with his friends in northeast Victoria, Australia when he became trapped under a strainer (a tree across the river). To save his life, he had to break his own leg to get free.

My dad loves funerals. He loves everything about them. Meeting and talking to people and checking out the flower arrangements, etc. He's weird that way.

Peter Parvin knew he found something weird when he picked up the rock that looked like a fish head from the beach. He didn't know until 15 years later the item was priceless.
