To Vonster.

I don’t agree with all he says. In fact, I agree with very little of what he says but I still check him out from time to time just to see what kind of crazy crap comes out of his mind next.

Anyway, here’s to Vonster, who is at least willing to shoot the shit knowing full well that he’s likely to become a convenient punching bag for the rest of us.

Cheers.

From the Associated Press:

Stingray kills sunbathing woman in Fla.

MARATHON, Fla. (AP) — Officials say a Michigan woman died after a stingray jumped out of the water and struck her in the upper body in the Florida Keys.

Wildlife officials say the spotted eagle ray hit the 55-year-old woman in the face or neck while she was in a boat with her family Thursday. Her name and hometown aren’t being released yet.

Officials say it’s not clear whether the animal’s barb struck her, or if the impact killed her. It’s also not clear how big it was.

Spotted eagle rays can grow up to 17 feet in length, weigh up to 500 pounds and have a wingspan of up to 10 feet.

They are known to occasionally jump out of the water but are not aggressive and use the venomous tip at the end of their tail as a defense mechanism.

Can we file this under religion? Because this is basically a case study in what happens when God or whatever you believe in decides it’s time for you to die.

Update: Apparently the Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission agrees with me that the chances are ridiculously slim:

“It’s just as freakish of an accident as I have heard,” said Jorge Pino of the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission. “The chances of this occurring are so remote that most of us are completely astonished that this happened.”
