SO, if he was filming a TV special when this happened, that means there were cameras there. Which means it's likely that him getting impaled would be on film.

If Animal Planet was smart, they would make a special out of that. Sure, it would be tasteless, but it would bring in the ratings. Hell, I'd watch it. And after feeding raw chicken to his crocks with his newborn son in his other hand, his family has no right to bitch about something being tasteless.

He should have known the risks -



There are 480 known species of stingray and "a stingray lashes its tail only as a defensive measure when it is caught, stepped on, or otherwise disturbed", says Museum Victoria.



According to a 1995 publication, Dangerous Marine Creatures - Field Guide for Medical Treatment, stingrays are the largest of the venomous fish.



The tail of the stingray carries at least one barb or spine that may be up to 37 centimetres long.



"Penetration of a body cavity by a stingray barb may cause major morbidity and even death, particularly with cardiac injury, and requires early surgical referral and management," it states.



Penetrating cardiac injuries have generally been fatal, the publication said.



In 1938, an adult women died after a stab wound to the heart by a stingray. The autopsy showed that the ventricles had been completely transfixed by the barb.



An Australian soldier died in 1945 after a stab wound to the left heart while swimming in seawater baths near Melbourne, Victoria.

Some other dipShakespeare just posted on the same board saying something along the lines of, "People can be so tactful, his body isn't even cold yet and already there's lame jokes flying around."



I mentioned that I didn't know him, so I'm not going to get choked up about it, why cry when you can laugh, etc... I refrained from telling him that the guy's been dead for a fair amount of time now, and his body is most probably cold by now, unless they're keeping it warm in the oven.

The fact that there are going to be jokes from everywhere in the next few days is just a sign of how large an impact he had on all of us.





He made his point about the wildlife he loved by being so over the top about it. Marlon Perkins never had that large an effect on people.



In fact I don't even know if he's dead or not.

I'll never forget an episode I saw once when he went into the bush where there had been some fires. He was trying to rescue all these half-barbequed snakes and lizards. He was extremely upset by the whole thing. It was both hilarious and poignant. That's quite an achievement.

Briham, I don't actually have anything again Steve Irwin. I was angry about the feeding the croc with his kid in his hand, but not angry enough to wish him harm. And you can tell me that he's been around them all his life and knew what he was doing, but I don't buy it. I don't give a damn how long you've been around animals, you don't take a newborn around anything that could possibly eat your child. Not even a Frost-ing dog.

And I was kidding about the stuffed stingray. Yes, I thought it was funny to mention in on GAB. But I would never actually want anyone to do that. And I'm pretty sure that Daggy wouldn't do that even if I paid her. So I felt safe in jokin about it.
