Manatee Crucifixion

On CNN's Anderson Cooper 360' they are doing a special on-location story about deforestation in the Brazilian rainforest (the location is not disclosed for security purposes), and they included a segment on the wildlife that is threatened by the deforestation process. I was surprised to find out that manatees are in the Brazilian rainforest, but apparently they are, and the one Anderson was feeding with a baby bottle (I think we should ALL think about what images are being used to manipulate our pathos when animal lovers deliberately liken animals to babies) had suffered from a nail being driven through one of its flippers (I guess the nail was floating in the water or something?).

Anyway, the manatee guy who was showing Anderson around showed the wound to the camera and then said: "He was basically crucified."

lol

I wonder if they now refer to all impalement injuries in med school as "crucifixion."

I wonder if we could follow the same logic to start referring to airplane take-offs as "resurrection."
