Even The Best Fall Down Sometimes

Crikey!

Did ya see that one go? Hoowee! That was a big 'un!

Khaki shorts, the same shirt and boots, the floppy dirty blonde hair and his unsatiable appetite for the wilds.

Gone in a freak accident.

Most of you would have heard or read about it by the time you read this, but for the rest, take a look at this.

For someone who spent nearly his entire career inches away from losing a hand, he went out in a weird way.

Whoever heard of someone stabbed in the heart by a stingray? In the eye by a swordfish, I've actually heard of that twicce, but not such a lethal strike. From a stingray. That's just not fair.

But then death is almost never fair, is it? Take a look at people like Eddie Guerrero and Aaliyah.

As mentioned in the link above, we lost a great icon in the world of wildlife, a father, and a hero to many.

Often imitated, never duplicated, Steve Irwin.
