Stringrays have officially declared war on humans
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20061019/...ngray_stabbing
LIGHTHOUSE POINT, Fla. - An 81-year-old boater was in critical condition Thursday after a stingray flopped onto his boat and stabbed him, leaving a foot-long barb in his chest, authorities said.
"Something like this is really, really extraordinarily rare," she said. "Even when they are under duress, they don't usually attack."
let's get them fellas
(Stingrays 2 Humans 0 if the official score if anyone is keeping count)

Huh, down in Australia, they throw a steak on the barbie. Apparently, stingrays throw a human on the barb.
