A pissed off stingray is what killed Steve Irwin, The Crocodile Hunter. Though that's supposedly the only stingray related death caught on camera.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Irwin
It literally stabbed him in the heart, which seems to me like an unlikely way to die to a stingray, but I'm no stingrayologist, so take that with a grain of salt.
They hurt like a bad beesting. Lifeguards will put your foot into a bag of hot water (denatures the venom) and after a few minutes, you are fine
What if I get stabbed somewhere else? Do they still just put my foot in a bag of hot water?
Yes, even if your spouse gets stung, they put your foot in hot water.
I also choose this guy's wife.
Yes. You can put your dick in the hot water too if it gets stung
Few minutes? Nah itâs a proper wound. Itâs fine after a couple days in 99% of cases. But youâre underselling it.
well maybe he shouldn't have jammed his thumb up its butthole
I still havenât forgiven the stingray.
I know that Steve would say it wasnât the stingrayâs fault, that he was the one intruding and it was just defending itself, as stingrays do.
But Iâm not nearly as good a human as Steve.
And Steve probably wouldn't blame you for that either. He'd just try to soften your heart by being his usual, earnestly enthusiastic self.
Damn, this thread (and replying to your comment in particular) just hit me with an overwhelming sense of nostalgia. I'm so glad that I got to grow up at the time when I did, because now I have the privilege of grieving for Steve Irwin. Steve will always be a part of my fond childhood memories.
So one thing, if you havenât seen, his son Robert is more or less following in his footsteps. his photography is insanely good.
