There was an article in TFH in 81 or so that had old Herb flying down to the Amazon and messing around in the river (THE river) there. He swam right through a huge school of Piranha. He could do it because the river was low, and apparanylt the fish are sluggish and peacfull at this time. However, when the rains come and there is fresh water, even monkeys in low trees arn't safe. At least thats what the local Indians said. -- "It's too dark to put my legs in my munitions" richard@gryphon.CTS.COM {ihnp4!scgvaxd!cadovax, philabs!cadovax, codas!ddsw1} gryphon!richard
