This was posted in Slate's "Today's Blogs" section yesterday, and I thought it warranted sharing. apparently there's been a serious uptick in mutilated stingray corpses found over the last week.
David Weigel at Reason's Hit & Run runs the headline, "Steve Irwin's Ghost Wreaks Its Bloody Revenge": "Really, did the vast Stingray Empire think it could fell Steve Irwin so easily?" Robert Basler at Reuters Newsblogs figures the killing spree could have been worse: "I'm glad he wasn't killed by a golden retriever or panda or little kitten."
