Things really do come in threes!
Three very inspirational and much loved people. I was so proud of the work steve was doing to help wildlife, he was so passionate about what he was doing, something I haven't seen in very many people.

It was so sudden, by the barb of a sting ray. right through the heart. I heard recently too that there is no antidote for string ray poison.

sad, isn't it? we can only hope that no more deaths will befall upon us. one morning, i'm reading the papers about steve irwins death. the next, i'm reading about peter brock's death. i did hear about the politician's death as well, but as i'm not too into politics, i didn't think much of it. only now do i realise that we've lost 3 great australians.

Didi anyone see those surfer pay tribute to steve, so cool.

Hundreds of surfers gather to pay tribute to late CROCODILE HUNTER STEVE IRWIN in the waves off eastern Australia this weekend (09-10SEP06). The crusading naturalist died last week (04SEP06) when he was pierced through the chest by a stingray's barb while shooting a documentary on the Great Barrier Reef. Irwin was a talented surfer and an estimated 300 surfers paddled out from Alexandra Headline - many dressed in Irwin's trademark khaki. Lifeguard NIGEL MORTON says, "They paddled out probably about 300 yards offshore and made a very large circle. "There were several surfers in the centre of the circle that conducted the service."

You would never guess that he would be killed by nimals... at least i didn't think so. I thought he would die some other way. RIP Croc Hunter.

I will miss... a tough guy like him. He never beaten by croc in its habitat, but why killed by a stngray?? Steve, rest in peace...

Hey, even the least expected things turn out to be the biggest problems to life. Still its sad how he died, its the stingrays fault. *sniff*

The croc dude was the man... Used to watch his show every saturday morning.
When I found out I was listening to Harmful if Swallowed by Dane Cook and he has a part about that guy. Its really funny until I found out. kinda ironic.

steve was a real pro with croc and still the best there is ever to come, rest steve your in a better place now
