LOL silly, stupid divers. There is a reason we arent born with gills. Everytime i read about someone being mauled or chewed on by wildlife it makes me smile. Simple lesson learned, leave mother nature the hell alone. Timothy Treadwell ring a bell? :thud:

I was nipped by my 1.5" figure 8 puffer when I first put him in my tank. I named him, B.A.;ie Bad Attitude. RTR is the king of puffers and he can attest to the tempermant of certain puffer species. Last year he admitted that a giant fahaka puffer intimidated him to the point he didn't want to stick his hand in the tank to do maintenance.

Am I the only one thinking photoshop here?? I've seen better fake stuff from people around here. IMO...doesn't look real. I've seen a few injuries, it doesn't look right.

I'm guessing you mean the word sadist?

sadist: someone who derives pleasure from inflicting or observing another's pain, someone who gets pleasure from cruelty

We're all a bit sadist to some extent. :devil:
