Ripley's Believe It or Not! SEND MORE BATHERS! In December 2013, more than 60 bathers were injured in an attack by flesh-eating piranhas in the Parana River, Argentina. La Bougie du Sapeur is a French newspaper publish every February 29th -- ONCE every four years. YIKES! The murre, an arctic seabird, can dive to depths of almost 700 feet to feed on squid.

I find this “fact” a little hard to swallow. How does a Murre locate a squid 700 ft. down? It’s dark, cold and the water pressure is intense. The U.S. navy should look into this.
