Irwin, the crazy Australian that shocked most of us with his
way-too-close encounters with animals, died on monday. He was
stabbed in the heart by a stingray and likely died instantly. I was
pretty sad to hear that he died. He always made me laugh and
brought the animal world closer to me. At the same time, I am not
so surprised that he died. He lived an extremely dangerous life and
relished it.
What else is there to say? Having recently read the Iliad, the death of a popular figure is a recurring theme for me. Perhaps his wife was more prepared for the possibility, but I doubt the children were. Sad.
But still, he was quite the little ripper while he lived.
