Key West CQ

Finally someone else understands! I was viciously attacked while camping at Key West some 12 years ago and I still bear the physical and emotional scars of my ordeal.

The Manatee is the only creature on Earth to beat Chuck Norris.

But then... who or what did this?

The Manatee is the only creature on Earth to beat Chuck Norris.

No, no, no - The manatee beat one of the early-model attempts at a Chuck Norris clone...sort of:

Chuck Norris wanted the "clone" destroyed (he didn't want the world mistaking a pussified clone of himself for the real deal - even Mr. Norris knows how the media could twist such a thing), so he decided to have a little fun.

He picked the manatee up by its tail, beat the "clone" to death with it, then used the "clone's" facial hair to carve up the manatee to serve as a warning to Greenpeace.

Q. I don’t understand how touching manatees can be harmful to them. They’re so big! I could never hurt them and besides, if they don’t like it, they could just swim away.[/COLOR]
A.[/B] Touching manatees can alter their behavior in the wild, perhaps causing them to leave warm water areas, making them susceptible to potential harm. When manatees are in colder water, they expend valuable energy just to keep warm. This leaves little energy left for other important body functions, such as digestion. Pursuing a manatee while diving, swimming or boating may inadvertently separate a mother and calf.

cold water.... isnt this florida?

Fly Navy... i think this is what you were thinking of.

^Manatees are certainly applicable to a Key West Detachment. They ought to be part of everyone's individual ORM calculus.

@ Eddie: There's no doubt that the pictured manatee was injured by some kind of recreational vessel. This is the point, my friends. The carnivorous manatee was borne out of the amount of boating related injuries which their species has sustained. It is for this reason that a certain sect has developed a craving for human flesh. Let there be no mistake - they're out for revenge!

But then... who or what did this?

It's obviously a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Guns claim yet another victim ....
