Death Of A Hero
HOLEY MOLEY!!!!! Why didn´t anybody tell us????? I just found out through the Complete Lack Of Suprises blog that Steve Irwin is dead!!!!! Did you all know?
And what´s more he was killed by a sting ray, when only weeks ago Chris and I where stroking stingrays in the tropical waters of Tahiti!!
We are seriously gutted as I am sure many Aussies are too, but in defense of the stingrays we have to say that they are generally as harmless as a wet flanel.
He must have rrrrrreally pissed it off!
None the less, RIP Steve, and hope there aren´t too many animals in heaven.
Sam and Chris
P.S. Guys next time breaking news like this happens...tell us!

Steve Irwin is almost as important to us Yanks as he was to you Aussies! He was a family man who had a great heart. His many contributions to world ecology will be judged by history. I will miss him, and I am just one tiny little cell in that great beast America.....
Hey Madmike! We are coming to Key West! Can we stay at your place? You can be part of the blog. Only joking, we will settle for a few drinks with you in a Miami bar. Keep reading who ever you are. I´m sure that people all over the world are mourning Steves death.
i was gonna tell you but then was so busy i forgot! it's awful isn't it! j and i were really shocked and quite upset. we thought he was ace. will be sure to let you know these things in the future!! x
I think we have put it in an email to you
The Aussies all seemed to hate Steve Irwin. Everytime we mentioned him to them they went crazy that he was an embarrasement etc. There was one story going around in Oz that he rocked up on a really big day at a surf beach and paddled out to ride waves nobody else could handle. Apparently that gave him loads of respect, but generally they didn´t like him.
We are very upset that he died, he has children and a wife. I did sometimes think he annoyed the animals too much. When we learnt to dive the instructors would continuosuly tell us that the fish would only ever attack in defense and only if they felt scared. I´m not all too sure that he had to get so close to the animals and touch them so much in order to be a good commentator on nature. David Attenbourgh (spelt?) always managed pretty well by staying a fair distance away and wispering quietly.
