I don't know if I can live in a world without Steve Irwin.

I don't know if I can live in a world where a barely lethal animal like a stingray kills someone who wrestles crocodiles. Because if they can kill him, surely they could kill me.

I know! When I read that it was a stingray that killed him, I was sure it was some sort of typo and that they actually meant to put DEATHray.

i haven't cried yet, but i think i'm still in shock. i can't believe he's actually gone. he was one of the few people i've ever actually been attached to on t.v. it's weird, but i felt like he and terri were friends of ours, you know? it was cause i used to watch him whenever i could. like 2-3 times a week at least....

i'm so incredibly sad:(

Neither can I. I'm being completely serious. Wade told me that "my idol was dead." That's 100% true.

I'm so sorry. Are you okay? Do you want to talk about it? At least he died doing what he loved, you know.

Yeah, I'm fine. I will never be able to comprehend the way things happen sometimes. It seems as though events with astronomical odds come to pass way more often than they should.

Dude.......the guy messed around with wild, dangerous animals. He cheated death a hundred times. While it is sad that he died, it's not like he didn't contantly put himself in death's way.

I agree that it's hard to comprehend the way certain things happen, but in the case of Steve "The Crocodile Hunter" Irwin, its not really that big of a shocker.

The headlines should have read:

Bo thinks that the stingray was a hired assassin contracted by the crocs.

I heard that the stingray was actually imported from the Arabian Sea...where it grew up in a terrorist training camp. Better known as, Jihad: Under the Sea.

It makes perfect sense. Irwin is Australian. Australia is an ally to the United States. They probably covered the stinger barb in Anthrax, to make sure that the 'point' got across.
