MIAMI, Florida (Reuters) -- 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.

I think maybe I should reconsider my forthcoming fishing trip. Those little bastards are nuts!!
It's stories like this that leave me on the fence between ocean and lake. oceans have these freaky animals and lakes have fungal infections. You take your life in your hands no matter where you swim (or drink on a flotation device).
