What a bummer!

I'm really pretty bummed out about the death of Steve Irwin ("Crocodile Hunter") - although his exhuberant personality annoyed me a bit when I watched him on TV, his energy was really infectious and he was an absolute joy to watch. I often found myself amazed how brave he was to wrestle a crocodile to the ground, or stare a cobra down. Anyway the news yesterday, that he was killed by the barb of a stingray really brought my morning down, surely it was a mistake! And when the news came out later on in the day, that the Crocodile Hunter actually pulled the poisonous barb out of his chest, I couldn't help but to almost cry at his final act of courage.

RIP Crocodile Hunter!!
