"Well, that went badly!"
Sep. 4th, 2006 09:16 amI'm oddly saddened by the news that Stever Irwin, the Crocodile Hunter, is dead.
I wasn't a fanatic of his show or anything, but I enjoyed it on television, and I admired the lengths to which he went to promote conservation.
It's not a surprising death, really, but it does go up there in the Annals of Weird Deaths: turns out he was stung by a sting ray during a film shoot, and the barb went right through his chest. He was 44.
Using my frog icon because it's the closest thing I have to a reptile. Amphibians count, right?
:::ETA:::
Holy cow! Everyone's talking about this today!
