Crocodile Hunter R.I.P.

Post by AltarBoy » Mon Sep 04, 2006 1:27 pm

Just heard on the news that Steve Irwin, aka The Crocodile Hunter, was killed by a Stingray. I had often watched his crazy antics with large crocodiles and thought this bloke is crazy. I enjoyed his shows though and will be missed. Here's to a brave bloke. ^:|

Aye, I heard the news as well... :( That's sad... But at the same time, don't ya think that this is the way he wanted to go? Killed by a "real beauty" as he used to say, and not to die by a heart attack at the age of 89...

Anyhoo, my thoughts goes out to his family.

RIP Steve Irwin.^:|

EDIT: Watch this one:

Pretty much sums up how much he really loved what he was doing... Almost wept a wee bit when I saw this one...

What an amazing guy, I grew up watching all of his tv shows and he'll be missed. It is so tragic, especially for his wife and two young kids. Rest in Peace mate :(

The man had a passion for animals that I had never seen before. He will be missed.

Any man that can stand a Nile Monitior's rear claws dug into his forearm a good 3/4 of an inch and not break a sweat....To go down like that.
