This is just weird
Last month, the world was shocked when Steve Irwin was killed. Not by a crocodile, not by a venomous snake, but by a stingray- one of the most passive sea creatures out there. Sure, they'll stick up their barb if they feel threatened, but they almost never kill. As far as I know, Irwin's death was only the eighteenth confirmed "death by stingray."
And then, this:
The man is now in critical condition after undergoing open heart surgery to remove the barb. Because of his excellent health, it is hopeful that he will make a full recovery.
You know, the way things are going, I see a new a television special opportunity for Fox (or Spike... or some enterprising network): "When Stingrays Go Bad". Or maybe "Stingrays Gone Wild."
And then, this:
A stingray jumped into the boat of an 81-year-old Florida man and stabbed him in the chest, leaving its long barb stuck in him, authorities said.Authorities are calling this a "freak accident." Ya think?
