RIP Steve

Steve Irwin, a.k.a. the Crocodile Hunter died today! While you'd think it would have been at the hands of his favorite razor-sharp toothed reptiles, it was not! Irwin was filming a sequence for a show called Ocean's Deadliest, he swan too close to an stingray animal with a poisonous barb on it's tail.

According to his friend and colleague, John Stainton...

"He came on top of the stingray and the
stingray's barb went up and into his chest and put a hole in his
heart."

It's not really a surprise he went at hand's of an animal...but I think everyone thought he was immune to something like this. You can read the whole sad story and and obit for Steve here.
