Our local zoo has an iron-clad policy that all descriptive placards must talk about how harmless and misunderstood the animals in a particular exhibit are so that you come away thinking that jackals, king cobras, scorpions and crocodiles are just the cuddliest things on God's green Earth. I did notice, however, that even the most PC zookeeper couldn't come up with anything to say about the piranhas except one word: "piranhas."
That's what gives this story its piqauncy.

Rules for submitting comments:
1. No profanity. I maintain the pretense that this is a family-friendly site.
2. Stay on topic. A bit of straying and off-hand commenting is okay, but hijacking the discussion is right out.
3. No ad hominem attacks. Attack the subject, not the other person on the thread and keep the discussion civil.
4. No spamming or commercial endorsements. These get deleted immediately.
Tip: Beware of putting hyperlinks in your comments–especially at the end. For some reason, Blogger interprets these as spam.
Note: Due to the recent spate of anonymous spamming, registration for comments is now required.
