Crikey!

I suppose by now everyone has heard of the death of famed "Crocodile Hunter" Steve Irwin. First of all, let me extend my condolences to his family. It's a terrible thing when small children lose their father like this. Now let me say that while I am not surprised he died doing what he loved, I am surprised he was killed by something so innocuous as a normally benign sting ray. From watching his exploits, in my family we assumed he would be bitten by a poisonous snake or attacked by the crocodiles he loved so much. Rest in Peace, Steve.
