Why stop at piranah? Go for broke with the sharks w/laser beams on their heads.

Escape San Antonio is investigating the possibility that this insane practice has started or is about to start.

Sounds like Escape San Antonio is making this up in hopes that they can cause it to happen.

Screwing up the ecology of the Rio Grand is a more likely result than slowing the swimmers.




All that foot traffic and drug running trucks don't do that anyway? I wouldn't support this, but a few urban legend stories might slow some traffic down.

Will Piranha fish slow Rio Grande swimmers?

If I were crossing a river stocked with Piranha, I think I could muster my personal best in terms of swimming speed.

Cheap alternative to a wall. Even the threat would have an effect I'm sure.

How about throwing in a giant hair dryer or toaster occasionally? Never mind, that might kill the Piranha.

A lot to do about nothing.

Escape San Antonio should stick to reporting the latest time schedules and current concerts and leave the real reporting to the yellow journalists over at the MSM.

good point - I am pretty sure you are right. The details are critical.

I remember in the late 60's and/or early '70's a pet store inside of North Star Mall that had a piranha. I dont recall if it was for sell or not.

In many places one can wade across across the Rio Grande without even getting your knees wet - especially during the summer season..... I dont think piranhas would be taken seriously in those spots.
