Crikey!

I found out this morning that Steve Irwin, best known as The Crocodile Hunter, died yesterday in a freak accident with a stingray. How sad. I will miss seeing him wave his arms about and exclaim enthusiastically while wrestling crocs, capturing snakes, rescuing kangaroos, and getting up close and personal with just about every deadly creature imaginable. He was quite a character. Even more importantly, he was a conservationist and an environmentalist whose life's mission was to save the world's endangered species. His passion has raised awareness and inspired so many. And so to pay homage to Steve, I'll close with some of my favorite Crocodile Hunter quotes:
Crikey!
Isn't she a beauty? Gorgeous!
You're alright, mate!
You don't want to muck with this one.
That was a close one!
I put my life on the line to save animals...
