The passing of Steve Irwin
Steve Irwin is dead. This was the Aussie guy who was better known as "Croc Hunter" and got on National Geographic and Animal Planet to show us the world of dangerous reptiles. He was instantly recognisable. If you switched on your TV and saw a white guy in khaki pants, explaining the behaviour of crocodiles and then jumped like a mad bastard onto the back of a massive croc for no good reasons, that man is probably Steve Irwin. This crazy bastard wrestled with crocodiles and poked poisonous snakes from their hiding places to show you the fantastic wildlife of Australia.
He got killed by a poisonous stingray while diving off Australia. He was 44. The poisonous barb of the stingray pierced his ribcage and directly hit his heart. It was one in a thousand shot. It was a lousy way to go.
Talk about ironic. Mr Irwin wrestled with reptiles all his life. Snakes on a Plane got nothing on him. I always thought if he was going to be killed, it would be three animals who could get the hatchet job done:
(a) The giant Egyptian crocodile from Lake Placid;
(b) A king-size Anaconda from the Amazon;
(c) T-Rex
In the end, it was a f_kng stingray who got pissed and killed him bcos Mr Irwin swam a little too close. Life is indeed ironic. I can imagined the conversation in the Shades now:
Death : MR IRWIN?
Irwin : I'm dead? I was swimming just a while ago . . .
Death : INDEED. YOU GOT STUNG BY A POISONOUS STINGRAY. WOULD YOU MIND FILLING IN THIS FORM?
Irwin : Ah, bastard. I knew I shouldn't swim that close.
Death : STEP THIS WAY PLEASE. WE HAVE ALREADY PREPARED A NICE PLACE FOR YOU. IT IS LOCATED IN A PRETTY SAFARI AND YOU CAN WRESTLED WITH THE REPTILES ALL YOU LIKE. WE GOT A T-REX TOO.
Irwin : Holy shit. This is awesome! You got all this in place for me?
Death : OF COURSE, MR IRWIN. WE HAVE BEEN EXPECTING YOU SINCE EPISODE 1. WE JUST DIDN'T EXPECT YOU TO GET KILLED BY A DUMBASS STINGRAY. BIT OF AN ANTICLIMAX.
Irwin : Hey, watch it before I lasso you like a croc.
Death : SORRY, MY BAD.
Iriwn : Oh yeah, skinny guy in black robe got nothing on me.
RIP.

It is a pretty sad news.
There is a short news about him almost everyday on the papers.
