I didn't hang around 'school' so much. Was able to score the highest grade on the dogfish test...but failed the makeup bonus question of pulling out the semi-circular canals intact...broke one.

Took my cat home so I could move on to my next thing....still have my manuals :)

Watching humans being mauled and eaten alive by lions used to be a spectator sport. Now we just have DVDs and Xboxes to keep us entertained. No good hardcore death sports anymore.
Hence our desire for video of this nature.



That said, I hope the video is put in Terri's custody.

They were reportedly going to destroy the video as soon as the investigation was over.

I wouldn't mind seeing it though since I've very curious how big this stingray was and what kind it was.

To be honest he must have been doing something really risky (like usual) to be killed by one. I'm going to guess he was swimming over it and started poking at it or got right in it's face. Maybe he was over it and kicked it with his fin by accident. Either way he was way too close. I think if they released the video it would tarnish his reputation and he would go down as a complete idiot. It's probably a lot better that they don't show it just for that reason.

Actually, they were filming and they accidently boxed the stingray in, causing it to fear for its safety which is why it shot the barb. Quite freak actually. He didnt physcially provoke it.

I'd love to see what kind of ray it was. Was it a small ray? Was it huge? I've seen some really big rays that I wouldn't get near, let alone box in a corner by accident.
