Crikey.

Just read that Steve Irwin (aka: The Crocodile Hunter) was killed today in a freak accident. Apparently, he was filming an underwater documentary when a stingray barb went straight through his heart. They say it's a "freak accident" because apparently it's pretty rare for that to actually happen.

Does anyone else find it extremely ironic that after all of the deadly snakes and massive crocodiles etc. that Steve Irwin has poked and prodded in the past, he was actually killed by a stringray? I do. While I don't think I ever watched Steve Irwin outside of a few internet clips and those movie commercials from a long time ago this news really saddens me. After seeing him escape death so many times, people begin to think that he's invincible or that those animals that he loved so much would not be the ones to kill him. Crikey.
