Hello George,

>GP>I thought a stingray sting wasn't normally fatal?

>LL>Get too close to a bull stingray and see what happens.

>GP>What happened?  Was Steve's heart weak?

>LL>An eight-inch barb hitting the heart is as deadly as a dagger.

GP>Didn't realize they shot a barb. . .

A stingray is more than just a ray...

>GP>The guy was an oddball, but there's no missing how much he loved
>GP>animals!  (his own kid, in the crocodile tank, might've been another
>GP>story, who knows?)

>LL>His kid was never in danger, according to Irwin.  After all, the
>LL>crocodile had already been fed and was heading back into the water...

GP>If there's 100% chance that it'll be as safe as he expects it, 100% of the
GP>time, maybe. . . but there's always that ONE chance, and I personally think
GP>that's too much to be bringing one's infant into a croc cage!

Steve had been around crocs as a little boy, so why not his son?
Of course, I am sure his son will be sure not to get too close to
stingrays...
