You people need to stop reading the same Web sites. I counted seven consecutive posts on Steve Irwin's death.
I also find it kind of amusing. Here's a guy who made his living grabbing crocodiles by the nuts (or whatever he did to piss them off, not that the stupid creatures needed much provocation), sticking his head in their jaws, and generally risking an exotic, messy death on a weekly basis, and everyone expresses shock when a stingray punches his ticket. Really, what were you expecting?
It would have been more shocking (for me) to hear he died in a car accident, or from choking on a shrimp from the barbie. But from a stingray? That's just a really bad day at work for Irwin.
That said, I'm sorry to see him go. RIP, mate.
