April 3, 2007: Don't swim in Congo River
"Don't swim in Congo River," is the only information on the
post that OynxCougar just sent along. I don't like to run these sort of blind items, where we don't know the full story. But it doesn't look like a hoax in any case.
Just to be sure, I have now ruled out swimming in even a swimming pool, in any of the countries where this river flows, as well as all natural bodies of water that are connected to the Congo in any way.
What the hell is that?
I can't be sure, but I
think it's a moustache.
:lol: I can't figure out what kind of fish it is, but dammit SG, you had me googling for "moustache fish."
That's one of the scariest things I've ever seen! And he's holding a big fish too! :D
Google says it's a Goliath Tigerfish.
Damn beat me to it, I just found
Tigerfish.What the hell is that?
Hopefully not the fish that swims up your urethra when you piss while swimming in the river.
:eek: I wanna know how they ended up with it out of the water...

I will never pee in a river again after seeing the parasite thing on the discovery channel. It still gives me chills just thinking about it.
Jeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeez.
The love child of a bass and a worm from the movie Tremors.
Those are some respectable teeth, no doubt. I wonder how strong the jaw is, those guys have their fingers in its mouth holding it open.
Thank you very much indeed, here I am sweating, pretending to look for the best car-insurance (In a vain attempt to block out the girlfriends nagging about that same subject) I decide to waste some time here on the cellar, I click:" open the cellar in a new tab" and go to the kitchen get a cup of coffee, girlfriend saunters over to the computer, innocently clicks the tab, and that picture comes up.
LOL!:lol: :lol: :lol: :worried: :worried: :shock: :shock: :Flush: :Flush:
Yeah, they have a catfish that has sharp fins that go one way that will swim up your penis and cannot come back down because the fins get "lodged".... this fish does not scare me nearly as much.
It has been described by adventurers as "the worst thing you can imagine".
If I were to swim in the Amazon I'm wearin' protection.
Wow, what a fish...and I had never heard anything about that catfish you were speaking of, rzkenrage. Anyone got a link or information on that? :worried: :worried:
Candiru'
or
Vampire catfish

Not to be confused with a
Giant Golden tiger Fish.Holy crap. I've never even had a catheter in me, let alone a goddamn fish.
:thepain: One of the links says..."get's along with anything too big to eat." What does this thing get along with, and elephant?
Lends new meaning to the term, 'get a mullet up ya'
:shock: :speechls: :mecry: :nadkick: :yelsick: :vomit:
That fish is EVIL !!!!!!!
:shock: :speechls: :mecry: :nadkick: :yelsick: :vomit:
That fish is EVIL !!!!!!!
How do you know?
I think it looks rather sweet.:D
Then why don't YOU go skinny dipping in that river and report back to us .
I'm.......ummmm......doing...........something....
:bolt:
But I thought it was a SWEET fishy ??!!
How about this, I'll do it if you do it.
jesus. reminds me of my ex-girlfriend.
and i bet the blowjobs would be of similar quality, too.
now who wants a blowjob from a fish?
Dirty mind. I was thinking of when a girlfriend transforms into a monster and yells.
Maybe 1.5 months ago, a Brit started a swim the entire length of the Amazon River. That one also has some mean predators. Any word as to how he is doing? Or did his fate terminate the story?
Hmmm .. and I thought the Barracuda was a nasty piece of work .. :eyebrow: ..

tw - The guy doing the Amazon marathon swim is a Slovenian .. and he's nearly there. He started Feb 1st, and is only a few days away from finishing. I thought he was swimming in a towed cage .. but apparently he's only using a heavy duty wetsuit .. :eyebrow:
His website is high tech, and full of pics and videos ..
http://www.amazonswim.com/main.phpDamn beat me to it, I just found Tigerfish.
from the website: Comments
African Tiger Fish are not recommended as aquarium fish except in very large public aquariums. These fish are relatives of the Piranha but grow to be much larger than Piranhas.
now who wants a blowjob from a fish?
isn't that why there are blowfish? oh wait, those will kill you too!
No you first ,
No, you first!
Who are you arguing "you first" over, Britney or Paris?
Not to be confused with a Giant Golden tiger Fish.
I can't imagine that a fish that old or big would taste any good.
It may not be old, I don't know how fast they grow.
