Jumping Eagle Ray kills woman
 

First Steve Irwin, now this. It's a vast stingray conspiracy, I tell you. Somewhere there's a bunch of stingrays at a secret meeting singing "We shall overcome..."

The Story

Heh, reminds me of the joke after Michael Kennedy and Sonny Bono were both killed after they both skied into a tree, within a week of each other:

It was something like:

Dear Logging Industry:

If you do not stop your indiscriminate deforestation, we will continue to kill one celebrity a week.

Signed,

The Trees

Real precise description there, officer. Good thing that wildlife official isn't a medical examiner.

That thread title made no sense to me at all. I was thinking Native-American celebrity murders or something...

Ah. Remind me someday to tell you the story of that brave young Chippewa hunter Fallen Rock.

Once they get a taste for flesh, there's nothing else you can do. KILL THEM ALL!. And then blames the Aussies for starting it. :D

:p

Why do you say that, Two Dogs F***ing?

I guess going to Florida to catch some rays is more dangerous than i thought.

she died when she hit her head jumping back, though it said. Would the sting have killed her?

Eagle rays generally only have a very small barb which doesn't usually have enough venom to kill a person. I wasn't surprised to read in the article that they actually think she died because she hit her head after it hit her.

It must have been on a kamikaze mission.

She was probably taunting it.

It was a dolphin.

or a shark

Trouble with the maples, and they quite believe they're right...

I think her husband killed her and blamed the stingray.

And then the Flying Spaghetti Monster came from deep below and smitten the non-believer with the spear of the fish sending her to the depth of below.

That is absurd. Poseidon will not allow lesser deities reek havoc in his realm. Trace this directly to top management.

Bush did it.

It was an 80 pound animal hitting her at 25 mph, knocking her into the uneven interior of the boat that killed her. Not much you can do about that... probably just as likely as someone being killed by a deer coming through their windshield.

A'int that what Musharraf said about Benazir Bhutto?
