Maybe it wasn't an accident after all

Coincidink? Me thinks not. It's a Sting Ray conspiracy!

A leaping stingray stabbed an 81-year-old Florida boater in the chest, authorities said Wednesday...

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.

"It's just a real freak thing," Lt. Mike Sullivan told Reuters, saying the incident occurred on Florida's Intracoastal Waterway, where stingrays are rarely seen leaping in the air.
