cbs3.com - Woman Killed In Freak Eagle Ray Incident In Fla.
Jorge Pino, with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, said a woman was on a boat with her family off Marathon, Fla. when an Eagle Ray jumped out of the water next to the vessel Thursday morning. The animal reportedly struck the 55-year old woman who fell backward and suffered a severe head trauma.

Initial reports had indicated that the animal's sharp defensive barb, located near the base of its tail, had lodged in the woman's neck.

Where the southern shore of the Rappahanock river meets the bay is Stringray point.
Named because John Smith stepped on a stringray there. He almost died, but the natives took him around the point on the northern bank of the Rappahanock and up a small tributary where a plant grew that would counteract the effects of the ray's sting.
That is now known as Antipoison Creek

This is exactly the type of useless yet, interesting knowledge that I admire. Do you play Trivial Pursuit?
