I wonder if Mr. Irvin qualifies for Darwin Award. If you don't know what I mean, see www.darwinawards.com.
He was a silly, likable guy but I'm sure a guy like that knew that sooner or later he would not die of natural causes. It's like a professional motorcycle racer or formula 1 pilot or suicide bomber - you know that one day will be your last and you will be the only one to blame for your choice of "career".
At least the man didn't live a boring life and his "regular day at the office" would beat most of ours.
When I heard the news I was sad... but I also had evil images in my head: picture of Irvin saying like "OMG NO WAI!!!" and stingray sayng "WAI!!! pwn3d, bitch!!! LOL!" |

josh4 was saying that the footage of him dying is skeptical. All I was saying is that it is not skeptical, but rather definitively caught on tape. That video I posted shows the producer at a press conference confirming the fact Steve Irwin's death was caught on tape and that had seen the tape himself. The video I posted does not show Steve Irwin dying. They were only discussing it. |

Stolen from PDD, who inturn stoled it from Scott Adams:
I was shocked when I heard the news that the Crocodile Hunter died in a “freak stingray accident.” I had ten dollars bet on “misjudged the speed of a crocodile.” Something tells me that the media already had his obituary written with a fill-in-the-blank for the specific creature that killed him.
Readers of the Dilbert Blog know that I believe death is not a laughing matter, unless the guy who gets killed is in the process of bothering dangerous animals. And by “animals” I include all manner of aquatic, flying, stinging, clawing, bitey things. When someone gets killed doing that sort of thing, it’s a good lesson for the kids. I think it lends credibility when you tell them not to pet strange dogs that are foaming at the mouth. “Don’t pet that dog, Timmy. If you do, you might be killed by an entirely different animal that is not normally considered dangerous. Remember the Crocodile Hunter.”
I remind you that the Crocodile Hunter is the same guy who in 2004 famously fed wild crocodiles with one hand while holding his infant son in the other. Just be glad the Croc Hunter didn’t have triplets because you know he would have tried juggling them.
It seems weird to me that the stingray that got him is now the world’s most famous aquatic creature and doesn’t even know it. He’s probably floating around eating kelp or whatever-the-hell stingrays eat, oblivious to the fact that he’s as famous as O.J. I hope he gets a book deal because I’d like to hear his side of the story. I realize that stingrays have brains the size of a dried raisin, but that doesn’t stop athletes from writing books. All you need is a good co-author.
STINGRAY: “Well, I was minding my own business, eating kelp or whatever-the-hell I eat, when this guy jumps in the water and yells ‘Crikey!’ like a crazy seal. So I killed him and then hired a co-author who is both handsome and talented. You will find his contact information in the back of this well-written book.”

p.s. looks like Scott yanked it from his site (tho it remains in google cache :) ) |

I'm going to repent for my satirical post in the political thread.
I really loved watching this guy on animal planet growing up, and he will be dearly missed. I feel bad for his wife and chilluns and hope they will be ok.
RIP matey. |

If I don't feel sad, it's because according to my religion, Scientology, Steve has been reincarnated as a higher lifeform. He continues his protection of endangered species, only on a more galactic scale.

I'm with you on this one. I have come within a few feet of stepping on stingrays on two occasions. This little bugger was buried in the sand:

And this guy was just very well camoflauged:

(images not safe for dialup)
I was lucky enough to see the second one while I was about 3 or 4 ft away, but with the first one I settled into the sand about a ft or two away from it before my buddy tapped me on the shoulder to point it out. Needless to say, I peed my wetsuit after extricating myself from that situation. I have NEVER heard of a stingray that attacked you without someone stepping on it, so I'm extremely curious to see what he did to provoke it. And if that's his dying wish ... well than maybe by watching it I could learn something and not get mugged by a stingray. |
