Crikey!!! I saw that this morning and couldn't believe it. How will I break this to my 5 year old son? He loves Steve Irwin (as did my whole family). I feel bad for his family. He was only 44 years old, but at least he died doing exactly what he loved. I'll bet if you had asked him, he wouldn't have wanted to have died from old age.

Tragic nonetheless.

Even worse that it's by a stingray accident which is extremely rare.

There has only been 3 deaths (including Steve) by Stingray ever reported in this country.

Several injuries a year though. It's just bizarre that someone like Steve should die because of a Stingray

we are not the only ones sadend by his passing.

there is atleast one animal sadend by it too. why? because he feels cheated.

It sure is a terrible shame what has happenned to Steve Irwin and of course to his family. For us, in this part of the world it's one of those "where were you when you heard" moments.

@rovingcowboy

You may be right, but do animals talk to each other (cross species that is)

I've been talking to our cat for nearly a year and she still looks at me like I'm an idiot

paulmt is the smart answer out of the three of you since i posted that about monty.

yes your cat thinks your an idot because it can not understand why you can't hear what it is saying back to you.

can the animals talk between speices? i don't think so? no i can say i know they don't you wont believe me if i tell you how i know but i know
and that is enough. it seems that when we were thrown out of the garden all inter speice's communication was also stopped, unless god allows it.

as for the other two remarks you will regret it but not from me. you will have to deal with the lord about your degrading remarks.

rovingcowboy @ hars

Thanks for your replies Guys.

Actually I have to say I have no trouble understanding this from our cat...

I am hungry, feed me now
I am cold, move over
I am head of this home - you sit there
