http://www.cavesofnarshe.com/forums/ipb/index.php?showtopic=9645 contains a number of posts about the topic as well, including two of my own, which also includes a picture I made commemorating this event.

But it is not my picture that is the most hilarious. It is someone else's.

Seriously, though, the craziest part about all this is that Irwin is so legendary yet so...odd? that even in death, he is the talk of the world, who lament the loss but simultaneously make fun of him.

Always knew he was ganna doing something dangerous like that, to tell you the truth I dont feel the least bit sorry for the guy.

I heard nobody's ever been killed by a Stingray before. I must have heard wrong.

Ah well.

*points to sig in interest of keeping on topic*

Why are we still going on about this? It's time to move on... it's what he would've wanted.

You can't move on so soon after someone close to you has died. Sure, we may not have been as close to Steve Irwin as his family, but still, now is still the time to grieve. Give it time.

My question is, how were you close to him? Maybe like 1 out of 1000 of us have seen him, we dont know him well enough to be able to be "Close" to him.

The point is that the world lost a good man and as such we should mourn.

Did any one find a video of him dying on the internet yet...

They did film his death "Scene" or so i've heard...

And for the record, Irwin is the 18th person to be killed by a stingray, on record that is.

I've seen so many retarded arguements about this.

"We shouldn't be heralding him, HE BROKE THE LAW AND POSSIBLY MADE PENGUINS DIE IN THE ARTIC EVEN THOUGH NO ONE REALLY KNOWS"

"We shouldn't be heralding him because hundreds of others died on that day"

"We shouldn't be heralding him because he tortured animals"

"We shouldn't be heralding him because he's a celebrity"

"We should be paying attention to the other conservationists"

Blah blah blah blah
People on the internet.... ¬¬ Oh and that Greer feminazi needs to shut up about him too.

We'll just sick you on that Greer feminazi, Hollow.

Yeah, but for an international statistic, that's pretty low.

Well I dont mean to be kind of an a** hole or a dull and disturbing person BUT, after my first experiance with death I got over the fact that I will never see that person ever again and essentialy didnt care about wether people lived or died. I got over it real soon. Thats why I didnt understand why you'd "Miss" him so much.

some thing i saw on TV,

people are killing stingrays and cutting their tails off and they end up on the beaches in Australia.

loving Steve is OK but killing innocent stingrays? COME ON!

we had a little something in holland a while back with some animal.

almost every year we have Domino Day, we try to beat the world record of fallen Domino's,okay, Well, one day a bird got into the building and thousends of Domino's fell, they asked a sharpshooter to take care of the bird, and he did. there was a MAJOR fuss about that bird, some guy even did a little special on it in his show on TV, by giving it a "proper" cremation, but he put a fake bird, in a box, shaped like a Domino, in a microwave.

I know it's a different scenario(guy killed bird, stingray killed guy) but the people were angry about it, and i think it's a "good" story
