Maybe it was for the irony of the thing, the man spends decades deliberately wrestling huge, dangerous reptiles into submission and eventually gets killed by a stingray, an animal which is usually pretty innoffensive, by chance.Alyrium Denryle wrote:No, not a tragedy.

I dont think it was chance... I think he was messing with it and pissed it off, but I have no way to prove it.speaker-to-trolls wrote:Maybe it was for the irony of the thing, the man spends decades deliberately wrestling huge, dangerous reptiles into submission and eventually gets killed by a stingray, an animal which is usually pretty innoffensive, by chance.Alyrium Denryle wrote:No, not a tragedy.

The entire thing was caught on film, which was turned into the police. He had accidentally boxed it in without realizing it, which caused the stingray's defenses to hackle and stab him right in the chest with its barb.Alyrium Denryle wrote: I dont think it was chance...

I dunno.wolveraptor wrote:Chuck Norris never deserved that meme. His show was crappy, and he's a lousy actor (not to mention a moronic conservative). Mr. T and Vin Diesel both deserved it more than him. .
Norris may be old hat now, but he was a genuine martial arts champion who founded his own form 'Chun Kuk Do', and who was a genuine 'bankable star' for years.
He's past his prime, but in the past he was 'hot shit'.
"You say that it is your custom to burn widows. Very well. We also have a custom: when men burn a woman alive, we tie a rope around their necks and we hang them. Build your funeral pyre; beside it, my carpenters will build a gallows. You may follow your custom. And then we will follow ours."- General Sir Charles Napier
