Okay, So This Bummed Me Out

Just got an e-mail from my sister saying that, well, Steve Irwin, the Crocodile Hunter, is dead. This sucks. Here's a New Zealand news story.

I am more than a little bummed out right now. I mean, I'm not shocked - this is a guy who made a living doing just crazy insane stuff that was bound to kill him - but it's still a bit of a surprise. Dude was the man. His vast knowledge, his genuine enthusiasm, his sense of humor and the big brass ones this guy had will be missed. Anyway, just thought I'd bum the rest of you out.
