I'm pretty sure the same people were responsible for both.

Egad, now I feel old....I used to watch both shows when I was a wee lad.

Cookie Cutter.

[homer]Cookie Cutter Shark...hmmm...[/homer]

I saw a show that talked about the cookie cutter shark doing damadge to an American sub by bighting hunks out of the surface. Could that be it?

What they do is bite down and let the motion of the water drag them around in a circle to take out a chunk

suaid and the like are prety impressive animals
A friend has a good sized cuttlefish in his salt water tank
that thing kills and eats anything in sight

I dont wilie easy

You're not getting swallowed whole. You have dozens or hundreds of suckers with scarred-flesh inducing  suction, sharp hooks digging into your body, and then shredded by a beak that is razor-edged on one side and serrated on the other. And you're under the water the entire time. It's about one of the nastiest, most painful ways to die there is.

They reported that a big squid stalked them and would periodically reach up and just snatch one of them off the rafts. One survivor still had big sucker marks where the squid had torn out big chunks of his flesh. If I had my way that fucker would be frying in boiling oil. Even then that's still not good enough for the bastard. Isn't that kind of harsh?  Just because an old Sailor is covered in giant sucker scars is no valid reason to subject him to that type of torture.

The squid, dumbass.

Those things are also supposed to be pretty smart.

They are!

Something about the ability to change their skin color patterns and percive similar changes in their fellow cuttles.

How 'bout one of these babies chambered in the almighty .44 Magnum? (yes, they come in that size, or .357!)



Friggin' "part of the food chain" my ass!

It's a Bang Stick. Basically, a close quarters underwater gun. For big fish. And octopusses. And giant man-eating squid.

Are we talking squid rounds or squib rounds? Either nuke it or dont touch it, depending on what the fuck subject we're on...

There wouldn't be much latching.  It would be there, the fish would hit it, and then it'll be gone.

Quoted: By the by a "league" is a unit of distance a "fathom" is a unit of depth.  It should have been "20,000 Fathoms Under the Sea.", LOL.

It referred to distance traveled while submerged not the depth of the sub.

I can't think of many things I WOULD want to latch onto my genitals.

My girl friend likes to latch on for a while.....

The candiru has a voracious appetite for blood and will parasitize fish, mammals, and humans. One scientist, while holding a candiru, accidently let it enter a small cut on his hand. It could be seen writhing under the skin towards the vein.

To find a fish, the candiru first tastes the water, trying to locate a water stream that is coming from the gills of a fish. Once such a stream is detected, the candiru follows the stream to its new host and inserts itself inside the gill flap. Spines around its head then pierce the scales of the fish and draws blood while anchoring the candiru in place. The candiru then feeds on the blood by using its mouth as a slurping apparatus and while rasping the long teeth on its top jaw.

When candirus parasitize humans, it is usually only when they are skinny-dipping while urinating in the water. The candiru tastes the urine stream and follows it back to the human. It then swims up the anus and lodges itself somewhere in the urinary tract with its spines. Blood is drawn, and the candiru gorges itself on both the blood and body tissue, its body sometimes expanding due to the amount of blood. This is all said to be very painful for the poor person who has this happen to him or her. Unfortunately, they are almost impossible to remove due to the spines. Amputation of the private areas is the cheapest, and most life-changing, way to remove the fish. Actual surgery is extremely expensive and involves inserting the Xagua plant and the Buitach apple up the urethra. These two plants kill and even dissolve the parasitic fish. If surgery is not done in time, the blockage of the urinary tract will prove fatal. The candiru is the only known vertebrate to parasitize humans......

I'll take a giant squid any day over this "candiru" thingy. At least the squid doesn't swim up your A$$!


P.S. Ditto to being a kid who grew-up during the 70's. I miss those wacky creatures from Puff 'N Stuff.

Who has an anus on their penis?

I've heard of fish that swim up urethras and lodge there, yeah.

But this story is messed up - the fish swims up your anus yet gets lodged in the urinary tract and they have to shove apples and stuff up there to kill it...

The candiru is a very real creature and it does indeed swim up your urethra to parisitize you. That post, however, was written by a complete idiot.
