In case you haven't heard, Steve Irwin, the renowned crocodile wrestler, died.
He was swimming in shallow water on the Great Barrier Reef, and a stingray, which was right below him, plunged its poisonous tail into Irwin's chest, piercing his heart. He died before paramedics could arrive.
If you have no clue as to who I'm talking about:
You know, the "Crikey" guy.
His death is worthy of my tears. 
[edit] Speaking of dead, Agassi is also dead to me.

| It's a pretty terrible tragedy, especially when you consider how rarely sting ray stings are fatal. Sounded so weird I thought it was just a dumb internet rumor until I searched around a little. |

Expect the unexpected. That may be the way to escape death for as long as possible. I don't think anyone expected to see him die by a stingray like that, kind of a "lame" death, since most of us probably imagined he would get killed by snakes or crocodiles or something.
They should find the stingray that did it and kill it!

That's exactly the opposite of what Steve Irwin would say.

Maybe if he were alive, but since he got killed and all, I'm sure he would take OOIA's point quite easily.
And while we're at it, we should kill all of those nasty poison-inducing marine critters to prevent the deaths of any more beloved crocodile hunters! D mn Marine critters!
Down with stingrays!  |
