  • sq2shooter, on 08/15/2008, -0/+13Huge? From the picture, it looks fairly small.
  • treyblog, on 08/14/2008, -1/+12Yeah "crazy"... And really sad. It's still alive? Sigh...
  • SkyeWolfie, on 08/14/2008, -1/+9It was probably someone's idea of a sick joke, poor little thing.
  • scooterbaga, on 08/15/2008, -0/+5That's what she said.
  • TehInternetz, on 08/14/2008, -2/+7thats crazy. I wonder how it got there.
  • AmandaDigg, on 08/15/2008, -2/+5this is crazy!
  • FreshHaikus, on 08/15/2008, -0/+3It's pretty big compared to a nickel.
  • inactive, on 08/15/2008, -0/+3impressive, this was actually 'broken' by the original poster... so refreshing ! The SF rags covered it after reading about it here! hahah.

  • beabear12, on 08/15/2008, -1/+4They can flyyyy!!!
  • vasconcj, on 08/15/2008, -1/+4I don't know if they sell these... When I got there the poor thing was still alive, moving just a bit... If they sell them at markets I guess it could have fallen out of a truck or something. The thing was huge though, you'd need two people to pick it up.
  • Kymaera, on 08/15/2008, -0/+2This is clearly viral marketing for the new Aquaman movie.
  • styrchn, on 08/14/2008, -2/+4Oh the poor manta ray. I guess it's gone by now.
  • sgtbutterscotch, on 08/15/2008, -1/+3It flapped.
  • alooha, on 08/15/2008, -1/+3haha... yes, the two policemen and fifty people standing around didn't come up with this, but you did. You're brilliant.

    The article mentions downtown San Francisco. That's a twenty minute jaunt with a F'ING manta ray that was half the size of a person. Just scoop it right up and fix it, daddy.
  • alooha, on 08/15/2008, -0/+2nevertheless, it's a F'ING MANTARAY on the street in San Francisco.
  • janinekahn, on 08/15/2008, -1/+3This is just sad. Poor little guy.
  • sq2shooter, on 08/15/2008, -0/+1True. You have a point but it has less impact because San Fransisco sits on the friggin ocean. Which just happens to be the place where those little guys live.
  • inactive, on 08/16/2008, -0/+1Yeah thanks for the information captain kill-the-joke. -_-
  • FreshHaikus, on 08/15/2008, -1/+2*****! they're invading


    I could just picture those things flying around, latching on to people's heads and sucking their brains out.

  • inactive, on 08/15/2008, -3/+4Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa....whoa....whoa........whoa...................whoa.............................whoa..........
    .........Watch out Steve Irwin.
  • Falldog, on 08/15/2008, -1/+2Stupid rips in the fabric of time space.
  • gskill, on 08/15/2008, -2/+3Talk about bizarre, and in San Francisco.
  • techstar25, on 08/15/2008, -1/+2Apparently it was so hot you could fry a manta ray on the sidewalk.
  • swrostmore, on 08/15/2008, -0/+1too soon
  • inactive, on 08/14/2008, -2/+3Do they.... sell these at the market?
    (I dunno, never been to SF)
  • revenant, on 08/15/2008, -1/+2that is just SAD.. man.. why does that get me so? poor guy.

    I suppose no one thought to try and take it back to the water?? people just standing there watching it die..
  • jazumin80, on 08/15/2008, -1/+2Holy crap!!!
  • cerealjynx, on 08/15/2008, -1/+2I don't think it's a manta ray, it's some other kinda ray.
    Concrete Ray?
  • inactive, on 08/15/2008, -1/+2And it happened on the ONE sunny/hot day in San Francisco, to boot. What did Mark Twain say-- the coldest winter I endured was a summer in San Francisco.
  • inactive, on 08/15/2008, -1/+1A little something called "REVENGE." wait thats sting rays..... ***** manta rays though....
  • DavidonDigg, on 08/15/2008, -1/+1Kinda sad
  • urbandistrict, on 08/15/2008, -1/+1PHOTOSHOPPED! The shadows are *WAY* off!
  • hyperglitter, on 08/15/2008, -0/+0A bit too late for that warning, and he was killed by sting rays, not pacifist manta rays.
  • RobotHuman, on 08/15/2008, -2/+2Only in San Francisco...
  • sgtbutterscotch, on 08/15/2008, -4/+3"We've got a report of a manta ray on the sidewalk"
    "We're on it" Sirens blare, wheels squeak.
    Popo1: "What do we do now, Chief?"
    Popo2: "I dunno, pour some water on it."
    Exchange awkward glances.
    Popo1 pours his water on it.
    Submitter: "Haha, dumbass."
  • Flatbadger, on 08/15/2008, -5/+3Cool!
  • BruisedGhost, on 08/15/2008, -4/+2Dude all you had to do was pick the thing up and put it back in the ocean its not rocket science, it probably took more effort to snap these shots and blog about it. Burried
  • RUFiO006, on 08/15/2008, -6/+2Holy smokes, this is sooooo cool.

    Do you see it? Look how fast it's going!
