Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin dead:Seventh Sign-Dems take both houses!

[laststeamtrain]

That's it.

[hippiechick]

1. huh ?

:wtf: Step away from the bong, dude ...

[smoogatz]

2. Nah. It was bound to happen. The guy had an obvious death wish.

The cosmic significanc of his demise is zero.

[BikeWriter]

5. Your opinion might wash if he were unconnected, Mister.

Steve left behind a widow and two babies.

[WritingIsMyReligion]

7. Besides the fact that he had a young family.

:eyes:

I hardly call that having "zero cosmic significance."

[smoogatz]

8. His young family has absolutely no effect on electoral outcomes

in the U.S., or elsewhere. That's what I mean by "cosmic significance." And I assume he left them well provided for, in any case.

14. Oh, is that how we now rate whether or not someone's life/death

is important??? If so, count me the hell out. I refuse to give up my humanity.

[smoogatz]

15. I was responding to the OP.

In the broader sense, I don't believe that any of our lives or deaths have much effect on the cosmos. But that's just me.

[skooooo]

3. not funny..

...to joke about someone's death. :-(

4. kilmed filming a special: got a stingray barb shot into his heart

Wow.

Crikey.... He was gonzo, but seemed to really care about all the creatures he worked with. He was a fascinating fellow, with a very entertaining show. Much better than the old "Wild Kingdom".

Rest in Peace, Steve, Rest in Peace.

6. Rest in peace, Steve.

The world needs more people with your passion for nature.

on edit: Is this a great shot or what?

9. Ouch! Sorry,...

...pardon me while I go weep for Princess Di.

Anyone here ever see TO DIE FOR?

Brilliant Buck Henry script, solid ( and then some) direction by Gus Van Sant, near perfect casting...

TV celebrity & deeply felt emotions don't go together for me. I end up making jokes. Maybe not funny jokes, probably not funny jokes...

Combining Celebrity death, revelation-style prophecy & current political realities seemed funny to me.

It still does. What's wrong with me?

I guess one thing wrong with me is I don't watch much TV...

[Fountain79]

11. You know you are right....

that joke wasn't that funny.

[laststeamtrain]

12. "that joke wasn't that funny." Ah ha! So it was somewhat funny !

I hear you.
Try. Fail. Fail better...

[Joey Liberal]

10. Not funny

The guy was an environmentalist and a family man.

[LostinVA]

13. No funny -- and the man had no death wish
