Crikey!

[miss_klara]

I just found out that Steve Irwin (as in, the crazy Aussie crocodile hunter) has died! It's all over the internet news.... He was filming a documentary in the water and got stung through the heart by a stingray.

What's worse is, his wife is trekking in the mountains somewhere and is un-contactable. So the world knows, and she doesn't yet.

I think this is really sad. And I think that the media should at least be withheld till the next of kin finds out about stuff like this...

I at one time thought Steve Irwin a nut but grew to really like him,laugh with him and yes at him sometimes because he was such a crazy gator fiend. I shed a tear tonight. I feel he's left some great legacy on Animal Planet and dread..really dread telling my little brother in the morning the guy he loved to watch is gone from here. It's a life and career choice he made though,and diving has it's risks. I say a prayer for his family.Bye Steve!

Makes me sad to think of kids, growing up now, who won't get to see him like I did. I mean, he was my hero. My one, true, bona fide hero. To think of everything he did to bring people closer to animals, especially the ones that no one else liked...

I hope they continue to air his shows, maybe even continue filming (at, say, the Zoo); not just to keep some regularity in those lives most closely affected, but, I mean, to keep spreading his message...

RIP, Steve Irwin. Crocs Rule!

I was camping at the time and I thought it some wierd camp thing people did, going around making up stupid rumors. But I came home and found out that indeed it is true.

I keep thinking it's just a case of mistaken identity....

Is it really true that CF considers "Crikey!" a "swear" word?

I know this was a shock to everyone who has ever seen one of Steves shows because he is fearless! When such a docile creature such as a manta ray is what takes him out...it's shocking. I'll miss hearing him say "crickey" and seeing his goofy antics.
