Holy shit, Steve Irwin the Crocodile Hunter has died!!!

Sure, we may tease his over-the-top enthusiasm for bugging the shit out of crocodiles, but from what I've seen on TV interviews, he's really quite a nice and down-to-earth family guy. But at least he wasn't killed by a crocodile as one may have expected (he got a fatal sting from a stingray), and he managed to hang on to his undefeated-by-crocodiles record till the end.

This was so truly unexpected (his passing, not his being killed by a stingray), even though he dealt with dangerous animals for a living. After some time, we just kinda get used to him doing all that risky business and just assume that he's gonna be alright. Damn. No matter how hard humans try to assert their position as the top rung of the evolutionary ladder, the truth is, we're really not that much superior over all the other species in this world.

Well goodbye, Mr. Crocodile Hunter... you've left behind a ton of documentaries that will educate youngsters and adults alike for a long time, and you definitely won't be forgotten anytime soon.
