"See, I was cleaning my fish tank, and I had to take a piss, so I walked to the toilet while holding my fish, and it accidentally slipped in.
Erk.
Why do such stories emanate only from India?
That sounds like a feature from Impractical Fishkeeping.
Yeah. Right.
Do they?
The story about the guy who got off from the vibrations of a belt sander and had a testicle torn off and flung across the room, and he just stuck it back into his scrotum and stapled it in – wasn’t he American?
I thought you usually hear these types of stories about the candiru, which lives in the Amazon river.

owwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww…
REAL Men catch Candiru by peeing in the river.
I think I’ll go throw up uncontrollably for a while now.
my thoughts exactly.
a fish 1.5 centimeters wide (more than 1/2 inch) does not accidentally slip up a male urethra. (Most guys are extremely unhappy with a 2 mm(1/8 inch) swab inserted there)
Willing to handle his junk with slimy fish mucous covered hands-I thought most men had more “respect” for that area than that.
Most ER’s have a long file of strange things “accidentally” ending up in the rectum/penis/vagina. I was pretty sure that it well-understood that this was no accident. That’s what I assumed, anyway.
From the article: “However, the authors claim that the case is the first evidence in the medical literature of fish traveling upstream in the urethra, crossing the external sphincter and entering the urinary bladder.”
So the authors are implying that it was not intentional.
Hence my agreement with “yeah. right”
Actually, the authors do state that these cases are self-inflicted and intentional. The statement you cite is their amazement that the fish made it to the bladder, rather than getting caught in the eurethra.
They do cite the boy’s description of how it occurred, which is where the accidental part of it comes in. The boy’s description is that the fish “slipped” in. Which is my original quote and comment.
So is this where codpiece got its name?
Slaps lieu with a wet candiru
I’m already insomniac why, WHY, WHY do I keep reading these threads?!!?
Anyone else read the title as Penis-meat fish?
I mean, it’s like a fish. Made of penis meat! :eek:
