RIP Steve Irwin

Better Steve Irwin

So Steve Irwin, known to most as the Crocodile Hunter, finally met his match today off the coast of Australia. Irwin was fatally stung by a stingray after swimming too close. From a Yahoo! News article:

“Irwin was at Batt Reef, off the remote coast of northeastern Queensland state, shooting a segment for a series called “Ocean’s Deadliest” when he swam too close to one of the animals, which have a poisonous barb on their tails, his friend and colleague John Stainton said.”

Steve was something of a national hero in Australia it seems, and I was a fan, so I’ve got a few songs in memorial. Everybody go check out some Discovery Channel or go to a zoo while it’s still warm out, it’s what Steve would have wanted.
