Topic: Dead People
We first came to know of The Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin while at our college friend Amanda's house, who was a massive fan of the catchphrase spewing insane Australian. Well now the entire world is emitting a shocked "Crikey!" after hearing that Irwin was killed during a diving accident over the weekend when the barb of a stingray pierced his heart.
We will sorely miss Steve Irwin. In recent years, while his television show might have been quietly idling away on Animal Planet, Irwin was a regular on late night talk shows, where he would always bring a menagerie of animals to terrify the hosts and guests, bringing us great glee in the process. It is with heartfelt sadness that we at Heart of Darko come out of hiding and say goodbye to a man who entertained and educated us to know end, and also showed us that Lennon-style sunglasses would not protect your eyes from spitting cobra venom.
RIP Crocodile Hunter.
Steve Irwin, February 22, 1962 - September 4, 2006
