Rays Run Amok


Rays are out out to eradicate the human race! First, Steve Irwin is speared, then one month later some poor old man is skewered and spends months in a comma. Now, a mom is standing in a boat in the Florida Keys and a giant ray comes leaping out of the water and knocks her to her death on the deck. I know I will be staying away from Florida AND aquariums. We are all just sitting ducks in an aquarium. Imagine the carnage near the petting tanks. I think Satan is controlling the rays. Or maybe its eco-terrorism.

The Kraken

Below the thunders of the upper deep,
Far far beneath in the abysmal sea,
His ancient, dreamless, uninvaded sleep
The Kraken sleepeth: faintest sunlights flee
About his shadowy sides: above him swell
Huge sponges of millennial growth and height;
And far away into the sickly light,
From many a wondrous grot and secret cell
Unnumbered and enormous polypi
Winnow with giant fins the slumbering green.
There hath he lain for ages and will lie
Battering upon huge seaworms in his sleep,
Until the latter fire shall heat the deep;
Then once by men and angels to be seen,
In roaring he shall rise and on the surface die.

Lord Alfred Tennyson
