Stingray leaps into boat, stabs man in chest


O.K. we have to stop pissing off the stingrays. The last thing I need is a damn stingray breaking down my front door, stealing my beer and stabbing me in the chest before he has a party with his aquatic friends.

Quote:

MIAMI, Florida (Reuters) -- A leaping stingray stabbed an 81-year-old Florida boater in the chest, authorities said Wednesday, leaving its poisonous stinger lodged close to his heart in an incident recalling the one that killed Australian TV naturalist Steve Irwin last month.

Fire Department officials in Lighthouse Point, about 30 miles north of Miami, said James Bertakis was in a small recreational boat with two grandchildren Tuesday when the spotted eagle ray leaped aboard and struck him.

"It's just a real freak thing," Lt. Mike Sullivan told Reuters, saying the incident occurred on Florida's Intracoastal Waterway, where stingrays are rarely seen leaping in the air.

"For an 81-year-old man he's in really good shape," Sullivan added, saying Bertakis was expected to make a full recovery after surgery at a local hospital to have the stinger removed from his chest.

"Crocodile Hunter" Irwin, 44, died when a stingray's stinger punctured his heart off Australia's north coast last month. It was one of only a handful of stingray fatalities on record.

That's sad and weird that he survide because he left the stinger in and let someone take it out for him and Steve Irwin ripped the stinger out himself. Makes you wonder, huh.

as long as they aren't stingray sammiches, then i'm for it. especially the shawls part, because sometimes i get chilly.
