Steve Irwin, 44, Dead.

Steve Irwin was announced dead today. He was filming an underwater documentary when he was stung through(!) the chest with a stingray barb. I honestly can say that I am surprised - surprised he lived to 44 with all the crazy shit he did. I can honestly say, however, that he will be missed. No australian will ever capture the magic he did with his “Crikey!” and “Goooargeous!” lines. He was a credit to aussies everywhere, and concerned individuals in general. He will be missed and I hope his family is doing okay.
