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.

somehow the barb penetrated some part of her body

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.

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?

Aliantha · 03-20-2008, 06:40 PM

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.

I think her husband killed her and blamed the stingray.
