FrankyBrown Posted September 4, 2006 Author Share Posted September 4, 2006 Granted it's a shame that someone died, but I really didn't like the guy much. I don't like how because of him the rest of the world thinks all Australians act/talk/look like him but he was a pretty nice guy so yeah =\ And to the above comment about how he died, I just saw it on the news while walking past and it said he died of a heart attack so thats why I posted it :?

No_OnE Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 Wow... It finally happened. All those times you watch his shows and wonder when an animal is finally going to kill him. Not that I wanted him to die or anything... That's sad though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that I wanted him to die or anything... That's sad though...On that note, I know a lot of people who will be disapointed that it wasn't a croc that got him. Like in Dr Doolittle or whatever it is. Dunno which one it is - I'm sure someone knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeekyhbomb Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 I just watched a Dane Cook act about why Steve Irwin hasn't died yet last night... :| You have to admit though, it was bound to happen eventually. May he rest in peace. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fgfuyfyuiuy0 Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 I kind of figured he'd die at some point. He's always messing with those animals, and it was bound for one to do something about it. I <3 Gears of War 2.

Guest User Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 That guy was always crazy. Now who will we have to look up to. Now who is going to hunt those pesky crocadiles. That sucks. Crikey, Steve, Crikey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuart_G Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 Stingrays do not attack aggressively, or even actively defend themselves. When threatened their primary reaction is to swim away. However, when they are attacked by predators or stepped on, the barbed stinger in their tail is mechanically whipped up, usually into the offending foot. And i also remember being told that same thing at the Melbourne Aquarium, stingrays wont attack unless they are provoked, so it wouldn't surprise me if he was stirring it up, considering the way he has interacted with dangerous animals in the past. Anyway, sad thing to happen. May he RIP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSlayer Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 Wow, that's unfortunate. We never think it will happen to someone so influential and popular. He will be missed. R.I.P Mr. Irwin...
