In Memoriam

STEVE IRWIN 1962-2006

Im sure by now most of you have heard that the 'Crocodile Hunter' Stever Irwin was killed today by a sting ray. The ray apparently stabbed Irwin in the heart while he was diving in Australia. I dont know why, but its sad whenever someone like him dies a freakish and untimely death. I especially feel bad for his wife and two young kids. But, Irwin lived his life dangerously. Im sure no one thought a sting ray would cause his eventual demise, he was bound to get seriously injured by either a poisionous snake or crocodile at some point and time. We see this time and time again when humans try to tame mother nature. Remember a few years back with the guy from Siegfried and Roy was mauled by a friggin tiger. Its incredibly dangerous to do that type of work, but it pays off financially for these people. Regardless, Steve Irwin died doing what he loved, which I hope comforts his family. Live by the sword and die by the sword. Rest in Peace Steve, you will be missed.
