Update your Death Pool Spreadsheet.
THE Crocodile Man, Steve Irwin, is dead.
He was killed in a freak accident in Cairns, police sources said.
It is understood he was killed by a sting-ray barb that went through his chest.
He was swimming off the Low Isles at Port Douglas filming an underwater documentary and that's when it occured.
Ambulance officers confirmed they attended a reef fatality this morning at Batt Reef off Port Douglas.
It is understood Mr Irwin was killed around midday, Eastern Australian time.

Is this for real?
Normally, I'd call bullshit ... but -- despite the fact that Rupert Murdoch owns the Courier-Mail -- it is (the second-largest in Australia and) a legitimate newspaper, most of the time.
Would it be too insensitive, at this point, to RACK Darwin?
Lookie, here, see, the way that barb has just shot through me chest! I think I may have to have a call for hospital!

Here's an additional story about it.
http://www.news.com.au/couriermail/stor ... 52,00.html
Weird thing is last weekend I was at the Monterey Bay Aquarium and pet a few smaller variants of the stingray in the shallow pool. That variety was almost like petting a cat as they would come up almost out of the water for attention.
How the fuck does he get whacked by a tail unless he fucked with the stingray. He must have spooked it. Always thought a salt water croc would get him.
Too bad. I always loved his shows.

I means to visit me that city someday once retirement age comes.
Sounds like the most awesomest town on the planet.

This really sux. I passed up on an easy 54 points in the pool. You just knew that sooner or later some deadly critter was gonna get 'bode on him.
"Bindi is the reason I was put on this earth. All I want to do is be with her and all she wants to do is be with me. We have such a great time together and it's not just a father and daughter relationship, it's also like I'm a big brother and she's my little sister,'' he told New Idea magazine in 2005.
Well, steve, did ya ever think, maybe I ought to stop fukking with deadly critter, as one of them is gonna get lucky, sooner ro later. Too bad little bindi and gator bait bob are gonna grow up dadless now.

Well, there's no arguing with the title.

I've scuba dived with stingrays in Grand Cayman - a place called
Stingray City
Dozens of them swimming around us as we fed them squid.
The lead diver said they were docile (they were) unless you stepped on one.
If you did, you'd get the barb, which they said was painful - didn't hear him mention they were posionous.

I think certain species of stingrays are deadly, and others not. Oh who am I kidding?...Let's wait until Dr. Dins and Dr. Van Knows _______ comes in to set us straight.

No, no new pictures. But it is Labor Day and I'm bored. I was hoping someone with authority would come in and give us some bullshit explanation...and then I could "Croc 'em". You can shame Van, but you can't shame the Dinster.

Very sad. Though more disturbing is the news presented at the upper right corner of the page - FRAUDO IS BREEDING!!!
Urban wild things Frodo and Frieda's first egg of the season is due to hatch soon.

I find it quite disturbing that Will was somehow implicated.

You’re really anxious to watch someone die? God, what a fucking loser.

It's been reported that Irwin has always stated that when or if something like this happened he would want the cameras rolling. His family is intent on the film getting released.
I will watch.

I don't want to watch a video of him dying. What a fooken bummer.
Sounds like the cameraman might have gotten in front of the stingray and provoked the attack.
RIP Croc Hunter

One thing about this; out of thousands of channels and millions of minutes spewed out by cable and satellite, he was the only truly global star to ever come from it, so far, unless you count the WWF. (and you know better)
