Yesterday in Florida a 5 ft, 30 lb stingray jumped out of the water and into an 81 yr-old man’s boat and stabbed him in the chest.  According to this article the man seems to be doing OK, though open heart surgery may be necessary in order to remove a piece of the stingray barb that’s stuck inside him.  The stingray died.

That is really extraordinary, especially so soon after Steve Irwin’s fatal encounter with a stingray last month. 

Don’t be surprised when Hollywood comes out with a Jawsesque stingray franchise film.
