Yeah its pretty pitiful..You can't hardly expect much of Byond..
|
welp i think you missed my point entirely, i was making fun of jp because he made it sound like he deserved to die because he was setting the whole croc hunter stereotype for australians and nobody liked that
| |
So how did this happen? I don't imagine a sting ray swam (or could swim) backwards and impaled him...

Death will sneak up on you. Steve Irwin was a great guy who died doing what he loved. He protected the environment and the animals. He taught kids and adults alike about wildlife. R.I.P Steve Irwin, you will be sorely missed.

He is the one that invented it, [I like insults].

Though I really didn't like him, I have to salute Steve Irwin for doing crazy stuff that I'd never do.
*Takes off his hat and salutes. Here's to you Steve Irwin. | |
Flame Sage, that page itself is clearly a hoax. Not only is there no word of a "death hoax" on any other news site, but the third and fourth paragraphs are spewing out some pretty bizarre stuff that doesn't jibe with anything else previously known about the man, in an apparent attempt to defame him postmortem. It's a pretty sick thing to do, really.
For proof: Notice if you click the Printable Version link, you get a page from the actual BBC site with Irwin's obituary, not the same story. Your BS detector needs repair. Go to snopes.com for a week. Lummox JR | |

He still did what he did, and in my opinion has more guts that any man alive today, ANY MAN. So why dont you just shut up and grow some freaking wevos | |
we got to close to the stingray he came up on it to capture the sting ray activated his defense mechanism a 10inch barb pointed tail (each spike has posion in it) the tail went into his rib cage and up into his heart he died instantaneously

Police said there was nothing suspicious about Irwin's death and no evidence he provoked the animal. Irwin, 44, was stabbed through the heart on Monday while snorkeling with a stingray during filming of a new TV program on Australia's Great Barrier Reef.
John Stainton, Irwin's manager who was among the crew on the reef, said the fatal blow was caught on videotape, and described viewing the footage as having the "terrible" experience of watching a friend die. "It shows that Steve came over the top of the ray and the tail came up, and spiked him here (in the chest), and he pulled it out and the next minute he's gone," Stainton told reporters in Cairns, where Irwin 's body was taken for an autopsy. Queensland state police were holding the tape as evidence for a coroner's inquiry - a standard procedure in high-profile deaths or those caused by other than natural causes. Experts have said the stingray may have felt trapped between the cameraman and the TV star. Irwin, the popular host of "Crocodile Hunter," rose to fame by getting dangerously close to crocodiles, snakes and other beasts. But Queensland Police Superintendent Michael Keating said there was no evidence Irwin threatened or intimidated the stingray, a normally placid species that only deploys its poisonous tail spines as a defense. Stainton said Irwin was in his element in the Outback, but that he and Irwin had talked about the sea posing threats the star wasn't used to. "If ever he was going to go, we always said it was going to be the ocean," Stainton said. "On land he was agile, quick-thinking, quick-moving and the ocean puts another element there that you have no control over." Parliament took a break from the business of running the country to pay tribute to Irwin, whose body was being flown home Tuesday from Cairns. No funeral plans were announced but state Premier Peter Beattie said Irwin would be afforded a state funeral if his family agreed. Irwin's American wife Terri, 8-year-old daughter Bindi, and their son Bob, almost 3, returned late Monday from a trekking vacation in Tasmania to Australia Zoo, the wildlife park where the family lived at Beerwah in Queensland's southeast. At the park, hundreds of people filed past the entrance laying floral bouquets and handwritten condolence messages. Khaki shirts - a trademark of Irwin - were laid out for people to sign. "Mate, you made the world a better place," read one poster left at the gate. "Steve, our hero, our legend, our wildlife warrior," read another. "I thought you were immortal. How I wish that was true," said a third. The park opened Tuesday because it was what Irwin would have wanted, said Gail Gipp, an animal health employee. Irwin was propelled to global fame after his TV shows, in which he regularly wrestled with crocodiles and went face-to-face with poisonous snakes and other wild animals, were shown around world on the Discovery Channel | |
