In Memory


'Crocodile Hunter' Steve Irwin--naturalist, animal activist, and good-natured television personality--was killed earlier today (Australia time) in a freak diving accident. He was filming an underwater documentary in and around the Great Barrier Reef when calamity struck, and apparently a stingray caught him in the chest. He is survived by his wife Terri and their two young children, Bindi Sue and Bob. He was 44 years old.

At first I thought this was a joke, but then I found out it was real and was sad...and far more afraid of Stingrays than I was before.

Hopefully, Steve is wrasslin crocs up in heaven.

P.S. Jack Hanna is probably pleased at this news. I always got the feeling that "jungle" jack was resentful of Irwin's "extreme" take on animal wrangling.
