Strewth

Just heard that Steve Irwin, the 'Crocodile Hunter', has been killed by a stingray. Poor sod, but then I suppose most would think that it was only a matter of time before something like this happened. I have recently watched a film called The Grizzly Man which was about a man who loved and lived with grizzly bears and as you would expect, eventually got mauled, killed and eaten by one of the bears he had lived with for 13 summers. It's an incredible film and some of the footage is unbelievable, but you couldn't help thinking that the what happened to Timothy Treadwell was inevitable. To say he was playing with a few cards short of a full deck is a little mild, he was missing a whole suit. You have to admire these guys though and I suppose they both died doing what they loved best. Still, you play with fire, you get burned.
