Crikey!

I'm listening to the radio on my way home, after dropping my brother at college, and the news comes on. The first report is about Steve Irwin, the Crocodile Hunter. As I'm sure most of the internet community and real world knows, he passed away today after being pierced through the chest by a Stingrays barb.

To be honest, I've never watched one of his documentaries, but even so it's almost impossible not to have known who the guy was. He cameo'd in a few movies and even had one of his own; quite a success.

It's sad because I'd like to say more, but I can't. However, if you'd like to know more, you can click here to read an article which details the circumstances, as well as the thoughts and heartfelt feelings of those who knew him.

My condolences.

Being stabbed my a sting ray sure is a memorable way of kicking the bucket.

I never actually cared that much for Steve. To be honest, he kind of annoyed me for some unknown reason. Which is why his death doesn't really mean anything to me like it might for some people.
