You thought DF Carp were deadly? Phah! They don't even use projectiles.

FTA:

"TEENAGE angler Tom Mitchenall is lucky to be alive after he was speared in the chest — by his own FISHING FLOAT.

Tom, 17, had hooked a large carp and was jostling with the heavy fish when the line snapped sending the slender plastic float "twanging" back at him like an arrow.

Incredibly, the 8in-long plastic dart pierced Tom's chest and embedded itself in his lung which collapsed.

The riverbank "missile" missed his main artery by just an inch. Had it been cut he would have bled to death.

But Tom was rushed to hospital where surgeons removed the float from his chest and drained the fluid on his lung."

Should have posted this in DF General discussion

Edit: nm, spotted the same thing in DF general discussion.

Those carp are still deadly, or trying to be.

Now that Toady's fixing combat, they have to get creative to retain their seat on the throne.

That is terrifying.

[IronyOwl]

So a fish used the boy's own movements to drive an 8-inch dagger through his lung.

Nope, not terrifying at all. And certainly not ninja fish in there. That'd be silly.

I, for one, welcome our carp overlord.
