    He got stung through the heart. Pretty unlucky, eh? Hopefully his wife will keep doing the Crocodile Hunter series.

    Man, this is just terrible news. At first I really couldn't believe it. What an incredible strock of bad luck that a sting ray's barb pierced his heart.

    My stepfather is a biologist and we loved his shows. I was really fond of the Croc diaries where he filmed his work at the zoo. Man, he comes back today from a trip. I would hate it to break the news to him if he doesn't know.

    man i almost thought that guy would never die. I mean, you'd see him do this crazy shit with very dangerous animals, but the attitude he always had while doing it made you think like "well, maybe it isn't that big a deal"...

    as i was going to sleep last night i saw the news on my homepage (google news) and it did make me sad. weird that a guy you don't have any real contact with can still impact you.

    Humans are different from animals. We must die for a reason. Now is the time for us to regulate ourselves and reclaim our dignity. The one who holds endless potential and displays his strength and kindness to the world. Only mankind has God, a power that allows us to go above and beyond what we are now, a God that we call "possibility".

    Well, I was at work and someone said that Steve Irwin was killed by a stingray, my first reaction was "Fuck off!", and then I heard it from other people and then seen it on the news. I'm really suprised by this and still am, although he was over-the-top, but you didn't think this guy could die, and if he did, I always thought that it would be from a Crocodile, Shark or Snake, I never would've thought it would've been a sting ray. What I've heard from other people is that he was doing a documentary on Tiger sharks, and he scared a stingray.

    Rest in peace, it's a real tragedy.
    My condonlences to his wife Terri, and two kids.
