Stingray kills 'Crocodile Hunter' Steve Irwin

[scubabum2]

Was Mr Irwin scuba diving at the time of his accident or free diving?

I believe reports stated he was on snorkel gear.

Here's the article this woman published in the British newspaper, The Guardian.

She has dingo dongs for brains.

I'd be willing to bet that virtually none of the wildlife that he grabbed, roped, taped, tossed into a sack and/or threw into the back of a pickup truck thought he was being "playful".

I suppose then you wouldn't want me to tell you the story about how a 4' to 5' southern stingray swam and approached me, and brushed her underside against my chest while I was descending freely from 55 fwo to the sand at 72 fsw, at a very popular dive site in So. Fla., the wreck of The Sea Emperor. I guess that couldn't have been playful, or welcoming either; it must have been a display of dominance and revenge by the stingray.

FWIW, the number of dives you have has nothing to do with knowing that if you touch enough stuff, eventually, some if it will "touch you".

True, but it has a lot to do with knowing what will, when it will, how it will, and how to avoid something "touch[ing] you" which was my point.

hahaha Red! good try

im sure MS Greer would be upset at the thought of having dongs

if you dont know who Ms Greer is, her last book was about love for 13yr old boys

That's a very different article/op ed piece than others I've seen.

Either that, or she just plainly lacks satisfaction..
