BUENOS AIRES, Argentina — A surprise attack by a school of carnivorous fish has injured 70 people bathing in an Argentine river, including seven children who lost parts of their fingers or toes.
Director of lifeguards Federico Cornier said Thursday that thousands of bathers were cooling off from 100-degree temperatures in the Parana River in Rosario on Wednesday when bathers suddenly began complaining of bite marks on their hands and feet. He blamed the attack on palometas, “a type of piranha, big, voracious and with sharp teeth that can really bite.”

I would fry on the beach before I'd go into a river with a name like Parana.
10:36 How about it?
Get a bucket, scoop up some water, check for fish, pour on self.
Rinse
Repeat
Don't go swimming in the Parana River, DUH!
HARRRR! Those folks wouldn't pay to get into my lovely water park called "Sharkdareyou", so they get what they deserve! Cheese sandwiches $10, NO CHANGE!
