Crikey Steve

I heard today that Steve Irwin got a stingray barb in the chest and died.

I didn't really know that much about the guy, just what I saw on TV. He was pretty easy to make fun of, but never seemed to mind or take it personally. And he always seemed to have a youthful enthusiasm and energy that was hard not to like.
I hope his wife and two kids will be okay (eventually) without him around.

So long, Mate.
