CRIKEY!!!! The Croc Hunter is Dead!
It is being reported by Reuters wire service that Australian real world Pitfall Harry, Steve Irwin, died today. Irwin, famous for his wild antics wrestling crocodiles and enraging venomous snakes around the globe, was said to be filming a documentary when he was stung in the chest by a stingray barb.
Irwin was one of the main reasons that Animal Planet, a Discovery channel owned station, took off and made itself a mark in the vast sea of cable TV. His child like excitment of nature was contagious and he was one of the few guys that could make poking a viper with a stick seem fun and light hearted.
At least he died doing what he loved. And thats all we can really ask for from death.

For my homie...
I can't say I'm surprised, however, I am still very sad to hear that Steve Irwin died. Steve was one of the few people who made learning about animals fun and exciting. No doubt his wife and two children will carry on the Crock Hunter torch.
You can only imagine that all the celestial crocks are running scared :)
Any death is a tragedy. When it's someone who has reached to many people it seems to compound the sorrow.
There's no good way to die but if it must happen pursuing one's passions is probably the best way to have it happen.
