no prob...


I especially like this paragraph:

"The best mechanical imitation of piranha teeth and jaws, and a very good imitation indeed, is a bear-trap, but one with teeth so sharpened on the edges, and the spring so strong, that they would clip off the bear's foot instead of merely holding it." No measurement of the biting power of a piranha has ever been made. It is my opinion the bite power is probably in the approximate range of 120-300 lbs sq. inch depending on size of fish. These estimates should not be considered as fact. Myers (1949) reported that "the power of the jaw muscles is such that there is scarcely living substance save the hardest ironwood that will not be clipped off."

WOW!!! I always wondered about the teeth and biting power they possessed! Great info Dio! All of that should be in a sticky.

My P eats anything! I have him eating Danichi pellets, krill, thawed squid! He is a true pig! LOL
