It’s official in my book. Rays (sting or eagle, a ray is a ray) are more dangerous than sharks. Jaws move over, rays are now the most viscous creatures of the deep. In 2006 the Crocodile Hunter, Steve Irwin, was killed by a sting ray, and a month later another man was severely injured when he was stabbed in the heart by one of these large beasts.

Today, there was another sting ray related death off the coast of Florida. And this time it didn’t even revolve around “man” encroaching on beast’s turf. No, the freaking thing jumped out of the water and rammed a lady on a boat. It didn’t eat her face or stab her in the heart, but she died none the less, which is why I’m no longer scared of sharks, but rays make me pee my pants a little.

In all seriousness, I do feel bad about the lady that died in Florida. No one deserves death by ray.
