At least it's not a sequel or remake. Unless you count Piranha 2.

I had a similar highschool teacher.

My favourite thing he did though, was he let you work in his lab during lunch/eat in the lab. But if you left any cutlery behind, he threw it in the tank with his piranha.

The piranha was 90% blind, and they don't eat live meat anyway, but lots of highschool kids don't know that

i want to tell you about the creationist museum, which is funded by the same people who fund Don Mcleroy's campaigns and the other young earth creationist who have been elected to the board over the last decade.

so about 30 minutes south of my town is "dinosaur valley state park".
which is awesome. on the paluxy river and full of fossils.

just outside of the park however, is the creationist museum.
run by a man who awarded himself a phd from his own unaccredited university.
this man claims to have found proof that dinosaurs and man walked together along the banks of the paluxy river.
he fancies himself a jr paleontologist.

you can purchase replicas of his "proof" for $25, he of course can't display the ACTUAL proof because that's locked away in a safe deposit box somewhere.

the creation museum is housed in a small trailer filled with beautiful art work of the 6 day "creation" event. there is also a giant piranha in small, dirty fish tank. the existence of this giant piranha is supposed to prove that under certain conditions (special lights i think) that things can grow giant sized, and somehow that proves the earth was created in 6 day.

the main feature of the museum is an hour long video which details the creation and how the flood caused the continents to split, sent beautiful pink lights into the atmosphere, changed the climate and killed off the dinosaurs. in the video, mr. dr. phd, uses extremely large scientific sounding words rapidly and in succession. this causes some confusion. it caused my friend and i too look at each other and raise eyebrows to confirm that what was just said didn't actually make any sense. it made the family in the front row nod in understanding. we could tell by looking at them they'd never actually bothered to find out what words meant before seeing this video.

the museum also contained some plants. and i think what was supposed to be a replica of a hyperberic oxygen chamber, but i don't know why this was there. and i don't really remember now anyway.

at the front desk there are all kinds of books for sale. books written by mr. dr. phd explaining how dinosaurs walked with man, and how he discovered the proof along the banks of the paluxy river in the late 70's or something. we attempted to browse the books without laughing hysterically. but i had to go after we overheard the family talking to the volunteers at the counter about how someone found pterodactyls alive and well in south america recently. and the wife proclaimed that she often prays to god for an explanation of dinosaurs and how mr. dr. phd answered her prayers. after that i about lost it and had to go out to the parking lot so i could laugh a lot.

oh, also on the property is a large glass building that is the future of home of the new and updated creation museum. before mr dr phd decided to build that, he was going to build a huge biosphere and pump it full of pure O3. because if O2 is good for you, O3 must be really good for you, he was attempting to prove that it would turn him into a giant. But then, someone informed that O2 is actually mixed with heavy amounts of nitrogen before you inhale it, and that O3 is actually ozone and would kill him.

in conclusion,
please, please start messing with Texas.
though i'm sure if you do at least 26% of the population will just demand that we succeed from the union again.

EDIT: so it's been about 2 years since i've been to the museum, they apparently have a website now.

"If there -were- any justice in this country, those folks would be heading into prison about now...but no, we haven't even managed to put some basic common-sense regulation back in place."

^ I second that.

I'm reminded of Naomi Klein's "Shock Doctrine" and maybe this is a part of that.

Many of our problems would be allayed in the USA if we would reinstate commensurate taxes on the VERY wealthy.

Obama and the Dems aren't mean enough. Our country is hurting, our world by extension is hurting, these are truly perilous times, and to reach out our hands to a school of piranhas is nothing short of folly.

This is not a recession.

Funny that they chose the SMB2 theme music for this video. I think that was the only SMB game, at least of the classics, that didn't have piranha plants.

Pilger put it much more eloquently than I could.

I often find myself protecting Obama from rightwing stupidity, only to find that he's done something that is, in and of itself, rightwing-oriented and stupid.

The thing that pisses me off the most about him, and about the Democrats as a whole, is that they keep trying to be nice and 'sensible' with their GOP colleagues when they should be rubbing their noses in the shitty mess they created.

When George Bush got into office in 2001, with a Republican majority in both houses, they IMMEDIATELY started ramming through all of their special projects. The only thing that stopped them was when a senator from Vermont left the GOP and became an independent. It was like a bunch of piranhas in a feeding frenzy.

And here are the fucking Dems, limp-wristed and pussy-footed, tip-toeing around, not wanting to make waves, and the bastards expect me to vote for them because I have no other real alternative.

Yeah, great country, great government.

Interesting bit of information, BUT it highlights the growing painful trend in Discovery Channel stuff. It all has to be SO SENSATIONAL! The zooming in camera work, the cuts to random shots of piranha that aren't actually the same ones that are eating the meat.

That, and I hate how pretty much every episode of Mythbusters now has to have at least 2 stories involving shooting something. ENOUGH WITH THE GUNS.

When people say piranhas devour a bird in seconds, I doubt they're including the time it takes for the fish to find the bird.

That statement also doesn't make any predictions about the number of piranhas involved. A large school would only take a few seconds to do that once they found it.

Interestingly, they only attack the weak, dying, wounded and dead. They are little scavenging bastards.

Gee folks, it’s beginning to smell a bit gamey in here and I know it’s not siftbot. As for the farting cat, it’s lurking somewhere close to the front page just waiting to pounce yet again.

Rasch187 is quite proud of his hunting trophies, but he’s too humble to brag about this one.

At the last roast Obsidianfire threatened to tear our cheeks.
At this one rasch187 has threatened to simply kill us and then defile our bodies.
So, I guess the next roastee will threaten us with weapons of mass destruction . . . and we can guess what that means.

You know, this is the second time a roastee has mentioned a fear related to the Amazon River. Sure piranhas are ferocious fish, but that is still a fear that is located far away from most of us.

This whole obsession with hats made wonder if rasch187 was hiding a conehead. But then I remembered coneheads usually say they’re French. Having viewed the photo he shared, I know that he has no cone. I guess “hat hair” is not an issue either.

Rasch187 began hiking at the suggestion of a woman he tried to talk to at local pub on ladies' night. I believe he misunderstood her sentiments.

Here are a couple of rasch187’s prized prints. Aren’t you just jealous of his collection?!?

While conducting my research I ran across his favorite character from Futurama and his favorite Batman villain.

And lastly here’s a video dedicated to our dapper roastee.

>> ^Payback:
Any of you other guys cross your legs after that?

Not really. Of course, the last thing I think about when I see a dangerous bitey animal is "Hey, that should go in my crotch."

This was the same video. I can't remember if it's considered a dupe if the first one was discarded.
