The ocean hates you

I'm beginning to think the creatures of the sea are conspiring against us, and the rays are behind it all. According to Reuters:

Jumping eagle ray kills boater off Florida Keys

By Jane Sutton
MIAMI (Reuters) - An eagle ray leaped onto a boat off the Florida Keys on Thursday and stabbed a woman with its barb, knocking her to the deck and killing her, a Florida wildlife investigator said.

"It's a bizarre accident," said Jorge Pino, an agent with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission.

Accident my ass — we're screwed, man! Screwed!!

And LO,
The beasts of the sea shall rise
And stab the hairless apes,
That walk upright on two legs,
With their sharp and barbed parts.
Thus shall they exact revenge
For industrial "bottom trawling."
Verily it shall be so.
