LOL he even hesitates when the puffer opens its mouth WIDER and still decides to put his finger in there!

That reminds me of the idiot that caught a shark and decided to check out the sharks teeth with his hand...guess what happened? I can't find that video anywhere at the moment to link to it, but the shark (small one, like 5ft'r) bites down... The guy's hand was fine though, luckily they got the shark off before it should thrash and destroy the hand too much and they wrapped it with a torn shirt, alcohol, and bandages. What a MORON though right? The only time it's okay to check out a shark's tooth is when the shark is dead, the tooth is loose, or it is a fossilized one...

Shhhh, don't tell them...Sometimes the herd does need a little thinning.
There are many knowledgeable fish keepers on this forum willing to help and give great advice...The advice is free; What you choose to do with it gives it value.

Please read my sig line, it explains everything. How's the saying go? Stupid is as stupid does.......
