I read DI too, although I have known about these little SOBs since the Seventies.

Nasty stuff.

Don't Whiz on the Electric Fence

When nature's callin'
Don't be stallin'
Use your common sense
Before your let if flow
Find a place to go
Just don't whiz on the electric fence
If you're gonna explode
You can use the commode
of igloos, cave dwellings or tents
No need to explain when you gotta drain
Just don't whiz on the electric fence
You can swizzle on the sofa
Piddle in the air
Tinkle in the toilet
That's why it is there
You can let in rain
In the breakfast lane
While waving at ladies and gents
Just don't whiz on...
Don't whiz on
Don't whiz on the electric fence

--Ren and Stimpy

Even the discovery channel had a short bit on this - I jumped right out of the chair.

Silvio Barbossa was one such soul.

Poor devil!

Ouch! I've heard of these fish before, but that's still some scary stuff. Very interesting, thanks for posting this!

My dear, that sort of remark is totally inappropriate, in the worst possible taste, and one of the principal reasons I read FR. This is my nomination for Post of the Day.

You can bow now.

Had Lorena Bobbitt put one of these in John Wayne's bath he would have cut it off himself.

I did that once when I was in high school. It was concealed by vegetation. I had no idea what was happening at the time- after I deflected and finished, I saw the wire and the insulators off a ways and figured out what had happened.

Not too much fun.

I've heard that the natives in this area tie a string around their penis before wading in the river.

This little SOB the 'candiru' needs to become extinct as soon as possible.

It is definitely a parasite, it produces nothing of value, it needs to be eradicated from the planet.

On the other hand, perhaps a few dozen of the little beasties could be dropped into the 'Al Franken for Senate Pool Party' for this coming summer in Minneapolis.

OK, maybe they can serve a useful purpose. ;)

Friend of a friend did that back in the 70s. Said wife and he thought it was all over, for a few days.

That was before his third vasectomy, the one that worked.

Frickin' things need to be collected en masse, packed into a capsule, and launched into the Sun.
