Does anyone else find it ironic that Steve Irwin was killed by a stingray? A stingray? Whenever you go to a large aquarium they usually have a little petting tank full of them. Little kids go up and pet stingrays, and to my knowledge not one has ever been mortally wounded.
So Steve “The Crocodile Hunter” Irwin spent his life jumping on alligators and venomous snakes and he is finally done in by the aquatic equivalent of a baby goat. I don’t really see how a death could be more ironic. That’s like if Houdini had died from falling in the shower.

The stingrays they have at aquariums, the ones you can touch anyway, have the barbs on the ends of their tails removed, effectively making them baby goats.

The stingray that killed him was 11 feet in diameter, these aren’t baby goats.

Hey Matt, how do you know that Steve Irwin wasn’t wearing sunscreen when he died?
Because sunscreen protects you from harmful rays.
Too soon? Kind of like,
Do you know who Christopher Reeves wanted to be for Halloween before he died?
