the crocodile hunter died from a ray's stab wound to the heart

there were only 17 other cases of this particular ray killing human beings. how did that one ray know to aim for the heart? its aim was so true.

the only explanation possible is that this was a special ray, a ray with the particular mission to cut off the machine that runs steve irwin.

i wonder if it was a messy death. probably not. did he feel a special pain, or was it instant? did his lips turn blue, did he drown first and then die?

did steve irwin know that it was going to be his last dance with death but had too much of a reputation to turn it down?

or was he just not equipped with people's natural fear of the wild?

he was foolish, but brave. he was just waiting to die the whole time, but he did it with such character, such zest.

i admire him for that. and i worry for the future of his progeny. what if theyre just as fearless as he is? if natural selection is true, his genes are not long for this red tooth and claw world.
