Steve Irwin (Crocodile Hunter) R.I.P.

Steve Irwin, The Crocodile Hunter, died earlier today at the age of 44 after being stung by a stingray, of all things. This is the guy that let Fear Snakes (most venomous snake on Earth) crawl around on his face, 80 miles away from any medical facilities.

At least he died doing what he loves...

Very sad. Even if he was crazy, he was a cool guy.
