Even Fish Hate People

Put a stickpin on the Suwannee River in Florida as a place not to visit anytime soon.

From the AP:

A woman was injured over the weekend by a leaping sturgeon, the latest incident involving the flying fish on the Suwannee River, officials said.

Tara Spears, 32, of Bell, was knocked unconscious by the animal on Sunday while boating on the river north of Rock Bluff, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission reported.

I think that's one of the signs of the apocalypse if my memory is correct.

The large, prehistoric-looking sturgeon have hard plates along their backs. They can grow up to 8 feet long and up to 200 pounds.

In April, a leaping sturgeon severely injured a 50-year-old woman from St. Petersburg who was riding a personal watercraft on the Suwannee River. She suffered a ruptured spleen and had three fingers reattached by surgeons, but she lost her left pinkie finger and a tooth.

Uh, a fish ruptured a woman's spleen and ripped off four fingers? Who would think that going for a boat ride out on the river would cost you some appendages without the boat crashing into a dock or something?
