Club 30's "Kill the Boredom Demon" Jive Pad, 18th Edition

he was swimming around filming a documentary...
must have startled a stingray or something
-
Yeah same hereOriginally posted by the Bear:yeah.. go check out the australian news sites... it's all over the place...
he was filming something and died in that freak accident...
i always thought he'd get chomped by a salt water croc or get bitten by a taipan or something... but a stingray barb into the lung??
I'm wondering how he got the stingray barb into the lung too
Anyway they are nasty things that can poke clean into your bone -
Still I don't see how that can happen unless he tried to lie on the seabed or something or he tried to carry it.....Originally posted by the Bear:he was swimming around filming a documentary...
must have startled a stingray or something
Anyway I think he must suffered from huge amounts of pain before dying

and I'm not ashamed to say that the pain was so bad, I peed into my wetsuit ..... -

hmm...while we're on the subject, worst thing that ever happened to me was suddenly sucking water through my regulator instead of air
At about 20+ metres deep in the water.
In shit visibility, and my assigned buddy(a complete stranger) could not understand what I was trying to tell him.
So I aborted the dive and surfaced alone. -
Gee how did you get stung?Originally posted by Fatum:I've been stung by a stingray before ....

I know the stingray spine is very poisonous and even just touching it without it piercing through your skin can result in a swallon and painful hand
Bring some palpain(?) You know meat tenderiser with papaya extract with you in your first aid kit next time. Coz stingray poison is protein-based and papaya extract helps .... or submerge stung portion into hot water.... as hot as you can bear...but out in the open sea I don't think you can get hot water

I was also stung by marine catfishes before, and sea urchins, for sea urchins, the remedy was actually to take a sandal or a paddle of sorts and whack the wound hard ... that helps to break down the soft spines ..... -
water through the regs ? ....Originally posted by av98m:hmm...while we're on the subject, worst thing that ever happened to me was suddenly sucking water through my regulator instead of air

was it the apeks ? ... -
ever had a project where it was good.. then ruined by idiots who decided if more is good, then way way WAY too much would be better?
we were supposed to produce a series of 3 A1-sized posters with brief details of different stuff on each poster...
well, the idiots up high decided they wanted all the information crammed into 1 poster and instead of brief details, to cram everything and anything in...
i have a feeling we're going to get microscopic sized details on the poster which no one can see and therefore ignore..
and worse, the idiots want prints in A2 sizes..
i'm waiting to see how idiotic the posters will turn out -
Morning all
Pinky, what did you say abt Stingray? -
stingrays are delicious when smothered with sambal belachan, wrapped in banana leaf and slowly cooked over the embers of a charcoal fire

I heard coconut milk is optional?Originally posted by the Bear:stingrays are delicious when smothered with sambal belachan, wrapped in banana leaf and slowly cooked over the embers of a charcoal fire -

And so is rinsing it first with ammonia to neutralize any toxins (according to Fatum)!Originally posted by sbst275:I heard coconut milk is optional?

It's either adapt to the regional clime or move to a more hospitable locale. I chose the former, but still reserve the right to b!tch about it as appropriate (without the use of expletives).Originally posted by the Bear:but have you?
