It sucks he's dead now. (I think I was one of the only people to buy the Crocodile Hunter Movie on DVD )
Stingray is not a typical fish stupid. A stingray has a 13" spike on his tail.I guess I would have rather seen him get eaten by a crock that he likes to jump on all the time then get killed by a fish, but I think everybody knew he would not reach retirement age doing what he did.
What fascinates me is that australia wanted to give him a national funeral which is generaly reserved to people who did something selfless for their country in times of war (not wrestle gators on TV).
What did this guy do outside of entertainment that warrents such a huge outpouring of affection? When I seen his father on tv talking about his son, even he said that his son didn't do anything special to warrent a national funeral (and declined it on the spot).
Kind of along the same lines, people who hunt solely for sport piss me off to no end. I'm getting to know the people in this area where I've migrated too (NE PA) and I like them alot generally. But some of the people I work with for instance will shoot something as soon as it sticks it's head out of it's hole. The damned things are struggling to survive just like people do, and they have emotions like us also. You're ignorant if you can admit it to yourself. But I digress.
