If you haven't heard by now (meaning you live in a cave), Steve Irwin was killed by a poisonous stingray a few days ago. It's depressing, he was so cool...such an awesome Australian stereotype. He'd been messing with tons of dangerous animals for years, and he'd kinda gotten this air of immortality. Guess he died doing what he loved.
But, as a last act of manliness--as if a lifetime of wrangling crocodiles and sticking his head into beehives was not enough--he pulled the stingray's barb out of his chest before dying.
So here's to the only person from Australia who's ever been worth mentioning.

Also, If you have not noticed. I am not doing much on Gaia anymore, maybe something will come along that will get me going again, but right now don't expect to see me outside of the couple of guilds I post in. (END, CoTN, and PWG)
