Goodbye Steve...

Following my usual morning habit - bathroom, release the animals, make a coffee, read the news - I wake up to find that Steve Irwin (aka, The Crocodile Hunter) has been killed. Real shame if you ask me. People either loved him or hated him, but I used to watch his TV program all the time - especially when I first went off sick from work.

According to the news report, he was hit in the chest by a barb from a stingray while diving, which put him into cardiac arrest. I'm more surprised that it wasn't a snake or fifteen feet of crocodile that got him.

Just shows no matter how careful you are, you never know.
