There is that aspect, yeah. I always thought it would be a snake or something that'd get him.

Still, talk about a sad day. He was a great guy with such a wonderful performing personality.

And he was so passionate about learning, animals, and wildlife, but not crazy like PETA. I think he was really my favorite host for any animal show.

I also think I had a crush on him when I was 13..

He will be missed by many.

And the best Catchphrase MSNBC could come up with was "The man who made the word crikey a catchphrase died today."

Pathetic lack of depth to that I think.

Yeah yeah I know they're dangerous. I know an inordinate amount of wildlife-related accidents in Africa are related to hippos. I know that hippos have an almost universally bad reputation with the assorted peoples of Africa.

I just didn't know Steve Irwin singled them out as a critter he was less fond of.

Yeah, didn't religiously watch Crocodile Hunter, but one of the memorable episodes, and the only one *I* ever saw him edgy was around a bunch of hippos. He was tellin the camera how gnarly they are.

Actually this was sad. But the news about Christopher Reeve's death then his wife's later on was just about as equal in my eye.

For little bastards, they can be a bit strong, but mostly it was his bad luck.

Other thing is that skates, rays and even small sharks, are like westleing with a snake, a slimey irate snake with sandpaper skin and far more pointy parts.

By the account I read, he was swimming over top of it back-to-front. It probably went under the sternum through the solar plexus or hit a luck spot between ribs.
