Stingray
MSNBC brought us some seriously bizarre "breaking news" today out of Florida. The network showed images of a stingray that had allegedly killed a woman by either knocking her in the head while flying over the boat she was in or stabbing her with its barb. The dead ray was being transported back to the shore so that investigators could assess how the accident killed both parties.

Watch the video and read more about what happened from Reuters.
A sting ray leaped out of the water and killed a woman who was boating with her family in Florida.

How unfortunate for the woman, and how unfortunate for the stingray, which was only flying out of the water to escape a predator, or what it perceived to be a predator [the boat]. They had to kill it so they could "investigate". C'mon. Any evidence they need will be found on the poor woman who was killed. But this fish was hardly a "killer stingray." It had no malice toward the woman, it didn't even know she was there. It was an unfortunate accident. And BTW, the white you see is the underside of it. The top is dark. And it should have been thrown back in the water, IMO. Nothing was accomplished in killing it.

I'm sure it was killed in panic not in some anti-PETA tirade.

Perhaps it was killed due to striking the woman and not as retribution or to gather a specimen.
I haven't heard it was killed after the event that killed the woman.

What is fascinating is that just a few days ago, here in New York, where Rodham is the Senator, a Florida woman who came up to celebrate St. Patrick's Day was killed in a freak accident with a falling crane. She was the only fatality who was not a construction worker. What are the odds that someone from Florida would fly in that day and have a tower crane fall on them? It is beyond improbable.

Suddenly, a Michigan woman was killed in an equally freak accident in Florida, literally assassinated by a fish out of water ?? Way beyond improbable.

Now remember that Rodham is seeking to count popular votes and seat delegates from both Florida and Michigan. All that remains is for a New York woman to be killed in a freak accident in Michigan to complete the arcane cycle of prophecy.

Three legs of the witch's triangle - New York to Florida - Florida to Michigan - Michigan to New York ...

... and all woman, during a woman's campaign for the presidency.

Isn't this one of the signs of the Apocalypse?

Or was it Notstrodamus?

Not one person can offer sympathy for the woman who died? What a fine and upright collection of people.

The genuinely funny ones don't get past the moderators.

I guess they just don't want anyone with real humor competing with 23/6

This was an undocumented stingray. Bill O'Reilly has already claimed this as proof that illegal immigrants are clearly dangerous to this country.

The Democrats, meanwhile are debating whether to give stingrays drivers' licenses.

So the stingray knowingly and intentionally killed her and committed suicide in the process...­..... you know, tragic accidents do happen.

This is wild, cause I read a whole article recently in GQ where the reporter was investigating all of these bizarre animal on man attacks are happening more frequently than anyone is aware. This story's got legs....or wings, paws and tails.
