Crikey!

Steve Irwin, the crocodile hunter, died earlier this week:

The day that his death was reported, several animal experts said Irwin was in his element in the outback but is hardly suited to the seas where that fateful fatal encounter with the stingray occurred.

Several accounts of the video showed Irwin supposedly coming on top of the stingray with the cameraman close behind, thus causing the marine creature to react defensively and stab Irwin on the chest with his barbed tail.

The director of the video who happened to be a close friend said watching Irwin pull out the barbed tail while on the water and seeing him gone a few seconds later was “watching a friend die in a gruesome manner.”

Bloody hell!

Not Dud related, but as things are all pretty quiet I thought something should break the silence, and this seemed fitting.  R.I.P Steve, you’re a legend.  And Germaine Greer?  You should take your head out of your arse and show some respect to one of the greatest promotors of animal conservation in the world.  Shame on you.
