Funny thing is I had just read an article which said the piranha's vicious reputation was undeserved. I forget the details, but they basically blamed their bad rap on something Teddy Roosevelt wrote in a diary after a visit to the Amazon, something about the natives leading an old cow into the river downstream from where the rest of the herd would cross.

The article stated that people have been bitten, but it was mainly due to curiosity and a case of mistaken identity, that the fish are really quite passive.

I'll have to go dig up the article, it should be in my reader from a week or so ago.

Thanks for posting!
