Legendary Croc Hunter dies

story.irwin.ap.jpgEveryone once in a while someone walks on this earth and does things that the staunchest East Rand boytjies (not sure what the global equivalent is?) would never do ... stick their head into a crocodiles mouth ... for fun ... as a career!? Steve Irwin, the legendary Croc Hunter died today after being stung by a stringray while filming an underwater documentary.

Kudos to Steve.

Read the reports here at The Australia Zoo and CNN.

  • you assume that mentioning people on this blog automatically classifies them as extraordinary.

    But to answer your question, most of your list occupied the news prior to the inception of idle banter. Araft's passing should ahve been on, but the crazy moneky guys, well, that's a no brainer.

  • Harry, your last comment really raises the question of who you'll be supporting on Saturday's clash.

    Saddest thing you know, seeing a born and bred Saffer sell his soul. May God be gracious to you on judgement day.

  • Okay right, you say that hercules is wrong for say, judging against having steve erwin, i say you aiden, are wrong for judging against the crzy monkey guy!

    i worked with him on set, he was awesome. the only one on the crew that had the balls to actually speak to the living props, as we were!

    so don't knock someone down with your holier than thou just cuz you had a soft spot for old stevie.
