"Crikey"

Steve Irwin, better known as the "Crocodile Hunter" was killed yesterday.

If you have ever caught any of his antics you know he was famous for getting very close to various extremely poisonous reptiles. My favorite was when he would lie down in the grass and creep up to a snake whose venom could kill you several seconds after the bite. Several years ago he took some flak for feeding giant crocs with one hand, while holding his infant son in the other. What finally took poor Steve down you may ask? Actually he was swimming with a giant stingray near the Great Barrier Reef. He got too close and one of its barbs pierced his heart. This was the freakiest of freak accidents. I for one will miss the Croc Hunter. His enthusiasm and love for wildlife was quite amazing.
