Steve Irwins Death

[Altzan]

We'll miss you. 

And did anyone happen to capture that stingray? He;s wanted for murder. 

[HitomiBoy]

Naw, but they have video evidence against him

But seriously, what the hell, why couldn't that stingray have taken tom cruise. Nobody likes him. Everyone likes steve irwin.

[MDude]

Because he has people pamper him and he dosen't take risks?

And yeah, I will miss him. Also, now I'll never go scuba diving without some kind of armour on my torso.

Hey now, I still like Tom Cruise, he's given me so much material to work with now.  I'd rather that stingray had taken out the president and his staff.

BlueJay lives in Canada?

[Bluejay]

Not yet, I'm still in Ahmareikuh for now, probably will be till about 2009

Apparently the whole thing was caught on tape after all, but we're not likely to ever see it.  According to this story though, he was conscious immediately afterwards long enough to pull the barb out.

MOER LINKS:

Jay Leno's funny tribute.  I hadn't seem some of those clips.

A video thing of his life and times.

DO A BARREL DEATH ROLL.

A possibly inaccurate story which says they'll show his death on teevee in accordance to "his wishes".

Irwin's family will probably reject a state funeral, since he was "just an ordinary bloke".

Sad  I Miss You Steve Irwin

[ecto]

I'm not sad. I watched him from time to time when he was on. I feel sympathy for his wife and kid and that's about it. If your going to live like an idiot your going to die from the idiocy.   

[Red_Raven]

shut up ecto, no one wants to here you saying things like that. hes done countless things for people and animals. Show a little respect!

[Bluejay]

Well he does have a point, (even if it was callously made) Though it was a pure accident that killed him, living a life like his where one takes many MANY, risks, one exponentially increases thier chances of death.

[ecto]

Thanks Bluejay. Everyones entitled to their opinion Rythm. The little guy in my avatar is smiling for a reason.

[FyberOptic]

The "idiocy" of his actions are all based on perception.  While all of us would be afraid of dangerous animals like crocs, he grew up around the things, since his father ran an animal park type place, so he had less fear of such animals, but at the same time had more respect for their capabilities and knowledge enough to know when to do what.  Anyone else woulda been dead thirty years ago already.  And notice it wasn't even outrageous behavior that got him killed; just a normally docile creature which apparently got spooked.
