We Have To Fight Them There

What did I tell you fools? Did you really think stingrays would be content ruling the seas? Well, don't you look silly because now the freaking stingrays are freaking attacking us outside the freaking water! From CNN:

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.

Can inland attacks be far behind?
