** Caution, this post links to a gruesome file. Not for the faint hearted.

I received a Powerpoint presentation from my brother today.  The first page read:

“An excavator fell in a river in the Amazon while carrying out work on a gas-line for Petrobras. The operator broke the glass to free himself but wounded his hand trying to escape, the blood attracted Piranhas.”

I’m going to post this only to show how savage these little fish can be.  I’ve checked to see if this is a hoax on snopes.com and it doesn’t register with them.  I’m from Australia and we don’t have these crazy fish here.  But if you’re reading this from an area that does, then take note and be very careful.
