Steve Irwin is dead!

If the Ivory Tower is the brain of the board, and the Transformers discussion is its heart, then General Discussions is the waste disposal pipe. Or kidney. Or something suitably pulpy and soft, like 4 week old bananas.

From what I hear of the footage it's pretty unpleasant. He goes through death convulsions and everything. Hardly the sort of thing you really want to watch I'd have thought, taste and the dignity of the man in question would seem to persuade that the footage should be destroyed rather than released.

I don't know why, but I'm really broken up about this. I'm not the kind of person who gets upset about celebrity deaths, but this one just seems so...unfair.

Reports of dead stingrays around Australia suggest that people have been taking out "revenge" attacks against them. Idiots. It's not what Steve would have wanted.

As an animal lover myself, I too am quite upset with what happened. He tried to make the animal world something familiar.

Really? :eek: Geez. People ARE idiots... It's like in Simpsons where after the meteor almost destroys the town, Sideshow Mel says "Let's go burn the observatory to ensure this doesn't happen ever again!" :roll: What did people do after Hurricane Catherina, punch the air?
