so long, you will be missed.

You will be missed Steve Irwin.

It was quite a shock when i heard the news that Steve Irwin, the famed crocodile hunter, had just passed away this morning. It was reported that he was struck by a poisonous stingray barb directly at his chest, spread to his heart quickly and killed him before he got into the nearby hospital.

He performed many death-defying stunts with many deadly animals on TV, say, the kins of poisonous snakes, sharks, poisonous spiders, and the animal that made him famous for, crocodiles. When I was a kid, I always wonder whether this guy is invicible or what, because it seems he always survived from a snake bites, or jump out of a crocodile's bite. I watched many of his shows. I once loved the show back then.

Sometimes, I think that this kind of earning your living is not worth the risk, it's just plain dumb to risk your life, just to get famous. I mean, why didn't he get another safer job? Well, maybe the pay is not that big when you're not famous, but still you're not risking your life.There is a thin line between brave and dumb.

Some months ago, my brother watched the making of an episode of The Crocodile Hunters. He said that he brought his own animals, and then let it out, so he could catch it and show it on TV, as if as they are really wild animals. I thought he was a fake.

But then, when I heard the news I was quite surprised. The man I thought was a fake died while filming one of his documentary. Man. Obviously, he wasn't a fake. Even though he was famous, he still did his own stunts with the animals. And now, suddenly after all of those crocodile and snake bites, he suddenly passed away. The Great Crocodile Hunter is also a human after all. And he will be missed, for showing all of those stunts and accompanying me growing up.
