“Crikey!”
Posted on September 4th, 2006
Unless you’ve been hiding under a rock for the last 24 hours (and with the rain we’re getting here, I wouldn’t blame you), you’ve probably heard by now - Steve Irwin died yesterday. He was speared in the heart by the barb of a sting ray, as he was filming a new documentary on dangerous sea creatures. He most likely died instantly, as a sting ray’s poison causes blood circulation to stop, and there is no known antidote.
Now, what we really need is someone to make a movie about a documentary about Steve Irwin’s wife tracking down and killing that sting ray.
Rest in peace, Steven Irwin.
