It started almost 30 years ago, in 1975, with "Jaws." This movie had me wonder so many times if swimming in the ocean was a good idea after all. Well, here's another story -- except this one is true! A fish that eats testicles has been discovered in a lake in Illinois -- and has already bitten off the testicles of two fishermen!

HUFFINGTONPOST.COM reports:
When biologists say the pacu fish eats nuts, they may be correct in more ways than one. The pacu, a toothy fish that can weigh up to 55 pounds, has been spotted in Lake Lou Yaeger in Illinois, KSDK reports.

WTF is with the first option. WHY would you swim somewhere that looks sketchy unless you had to. I'm alk for swimming in a lake every now in then, but I don't just swim wherever.

In most agro heavy states the chemical runoff from farm fields into lakes, rivers and streams along with e-coli bacteria etc can get fairly heavy in the summer months, my days of swimming in waters like this are pretty much done anyway. When I saw this for Yaeger I knew it would be some dumbass who had them in an aquarium and then got tired of feeding them and just dumped them into the closest body of water they won't live through the winter.

Even though this story doesn't affect me, I've never been too comfortable in large bodies of water because I'm not the best swimmer.

They do eat tree nuts, but they have been reported to not be very particular of what kind of nut.

I doubt that people with titanium testicles don't block others. Unless it is a retaliation block.
