I always thought it would be the dolphins.

Of course it made Sydney (Australia) front page news.

I heard on the news down here this morning that the stingray that stabbed this particular man weighs 80 pounds.

So Stingrays do attack humans without provocation. They even leap onto friggin boats and stab people! All those people who thought Steve Irwin provoked that Stingray based on their notion that Stingrays don't attack without provocation can think again.

It wasn't a normal stingray, it was a ninja stingray.
I like my water with hops, malt, hops, yeast, and hops.

The guy just got out of having open heart surgery down here in Florida. They could not remove all of the barb from the stingray.

All I can say is...

So the guy managed to get his barb into the stingray before he went down?

Fast reflexes! Questionable taste...

You laughed out loud? Then it surely wasn't a Tonight Show joke. Leno sucks.

I watch Leno for the opening monologue, then Dave for the rest of the night. Jay is a bit too nice to his guests, and Dave's segments are always funnier/crazier.

Plus my wife hates Dave, so I'm forced to watch Leno if she's awake...usually.

I don't know many. Think Black Plague, Small Pox, ect. Nature is always one step away from killing us at any given moment. (The leading cause of death in the US by animals is from Deer. Think about it)
