'Crocodile Hunter' Irwin killed

Australian naturalist and television personality Steve Irwin has been killed by a stingray during a diving expedition off the Australian coast. (BBC)

In a personal note, despite all his flaws I genuinely like Steve Irwin. He was absolutely passionate about what he did, and that's a rare thing in our world. So raise a glass to the finest man ever bit by a wombat. I myself will wait until after noon; I've got a lot of packing to accomplish today.

(And really, if it wasn't for Steve Irwin action figures, I wouldn't have my three inch plastic wombat.) Godspeed, Mr. Irwin. And watch out for the crocs.

The stingray stung him through the heart
