Thwap!

Thing is, this is most likely weird enough to stand on its own:

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.

Leapin' stingrays!

You just can't make this stuff up.

They've tasted blood, and they want more...

And now every redneck in the world will be gunnin' for stingrays...

Sort of the new [pseudo-]macho thing in much the same way as killing sharks for the usual no-good-reason after the movie Jaws came out in 1975.
