Say it ain’t so

Steve Irwin is dead. He was 44.

When I first read this story (three minutes ago), I thought it must be a hoax; I mean, a stingray barb through the chest? Really? But then I saw it on CNN.com (Breaking News!), so…I guess it’s true.

I’m stunned. He’s dodged so many lions and crocodiles that I’d thought the man was immortal. The people at CNN apparently weren’t expecting this, either. Instead of a proper obituary like they usually seem to have pre-written and ready to go whenever some famous person dies, they’ve thrown up a bullet-point list of facts about Steve and his career. (The page might have changed by the time you see it.)

Crikey. We’ll miss you, Steve.

    I’m glad, too, that you’re finding other ways to entertain yourself, as I am *also* busy. Perhaps you’ve noticed. Beeyotch.
