Age-old Addage

Candied sent me this link.

This bad boy was pulled from the Congo River. It's a tiger fish, and it proves that age-old addage: Don't Swim in the Congo River.

Thanks for the photo, Candied.

    I did a google image search on this thing and my suspicions are confirmed: this thing is scary from every angle.

    I have swum in the Congo River and I just went back in time and pooped my swimsuit.

    Chuckles, I envy your time traveling skills. I also think you used them for a good purpose in this instance.
