Somebody was like "finally, no more of that annoying accent!".



How do I break this to them?

His heart was pierced by a stingray barb. That's gotta hurt.

Owned.

I thought he died some years ago...

Only in the heart of every child.

The sweet irony...

He so should have had his head bitten off by a crocodile.

I found out about this today. I couldn't actually believe he was actually dead. My friend told but I didn't believe it until I saw it on the news. I think all the world's wildife finally had enough of him and hatched an elaborate assassination plan. All that is left is that South African Snake Hunter and that dude of maginficent creatures.

Maybe it's David Attenborough eliminating any competition.

Irwin was at Batt Reef, off the remote coast of northeastern Queensland state, shooting a segment for a series called "Ocean's Deadliest"

Oh, the irony.

The camera man and steve had apparently boxxed the creature in unknowingly, which caused it to react and raise the spike which killed Steve. Tsk.

If he wernt australian none of this would ever had happened.

Because if he was Canadian, he would have used his pseudo-bacon to lure the stingray away from him? Or would he have cussed the stingray out in French?


If he was German he could have done a holocaust on stingrays a long time ago.

If he were Texan he would have been there to shoot the stingray.

If he were Strayed, he would have stabbed him.


Any other incredible observations?

Well, it's seeming to be a big deal down here, it's taking up the first 3 pages of eveyr newspaper and everything. And people won't shut up about it, I swear the next time someone starts a conversation with "So have you heard Steve Irwin is dead" I'm going to hit them.

Everyone bitched about his annoying accent, cruddy commercials and good guy attitude, but now that he is gone people realise how much of a good guy he was. And seriously he was a great guy, he loved nature and he loved his family, and he kept barely any of the money he made, it all went to buying forests and funding animal hospitals and reserves.

It's kind of unrealistic and all I guess... I always imaging him dying from man-made causes like a car crash or something, after all these years he seemed invincible to nature... but yeah it would have been quite humorous and ironic if he had been killed by a crocodile.

I don't think it's a big deal, hundreds of people die each day. But it does leave me very sensitive to the gaping hole where my patriotism should be.
