Steve Irwin, Dead!? :o - Electronic Circuits Projects Diagrams Free

That really sucks about that guy, Steve Irwin. For those of you who don't know him, he was the guy who played with crocodiles a lot. Anyways, that would be a heck of a way to die! Here is his article on wikipedia;

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Irwin

I personally thought he was annoying, but some of his shows were quite interesting. What do you think?

justDIY · 5th September 2006, 02:21 AM

He's tempted the fates so many times, I guess he wasn't lucky this time.

Emantra · 5th September 2006, 06:09 AM

That's the way of life. You get killed when you are least expected.

RODALCO · 5th September 2006, 06:14 AM

It's a big loss, he was a great character and amazingly good with crocodiles, snakes and reptiles.
If you ever go to Australia on holiday, you have to visit his zoo near Beerwah, North of Brisbane, Queensland.
I hope that his family will continiue the Australian Zoo venue.

Here in New Zealand he will be missed and is extremely popular.
Unfortunately this time the hobby, job, playing with dangerous animals, took his life.
You will be missed in our family Steve.
R.I.P.

Myriad people die, every day... His death won't be a great impact in the world. Purely simulated emotions. Somewhen everyone will be forgotten - We are absolutely unimportant for the universe.

As you pointed out very well ... job hazard -

Hero999 · 5th September 2006, 05:51 PM

I'll miss him but he really did have it comming, it was only a matter of time.

The Mad Professor · 5th September 2006, 07:38 PM

Wether you liked the guy or not matters nought.

Tonight, a childs father is never coming home and that alone should give us all pause for thought, it is a tragedy played upon many stages the world over.

Marks256 · 5th September 2006, 09:14 PM

Especially since he has TWO children. Just because you don't like him, doesn't mean his death doesn't have an impact on the world. He helped us discover new things, and while doing that, he did what he loved. Life is life, though.

Hero999 · 5th September 2006, 09:58 PM

You misunderstand, I actually quite liked the bloke, but he did have it comming.

Marks256 · 5th September 2006, 11:15 PM

Do you by any chance happen to be a women, Hero999? With all of the mixed emotions, it is very confusing!

Just kiddin'! :cool: Yeah, i myself, as stated previously, thought he was annoying. But some of his stuff did teach me quite a bit.

bigkim100 · 6th September 2006, 01:16 AM

The reason that I admired the guy, and mourn his death to a certain extent, is because he was actually living life to the fullest, taking chances, and having a absolute ball while doing something that he truly loved, and being fairly successful as well....something that we all who spend far too much time in front af a TV or Computor Monitor should strive for (I include myself in this).
Its not tempting fate that matters...or that he supposidly asked for it (????!!!???) or the fact that the universe wont suddenly fall to pieces...or that he will eventually be forgotten in time...its the fact that life is far too short a game...and far too many of us spend our life in the cheap seats, in the safety of the bleachers, instead of taking part...and making a difference.
(again...I am as guilty of this as anyone ...and it truly saddens me even more)
I was lucky enough to work on his film, and spent quite a bit of time sitting at a table with him after the days shoot was done, chatting, and found him to be intelligent, witty, warm, interesting, and a loving father, and son.

I think perhaps the hardest part to understand is that he actually got killed with one of his less dangerous adventures?, he's done some really crazy stuff and got away with it - but life's like that!.

RODALCO · 6th September 2006, 10:34 AM

Perhaps a little bit complacent with the less dangerous animals which should be taken a bit more seriously, they do kill after all.
Unfortunately he was in a dangerous trade.
