Spitting Into the Wind

Australian Steve Irwin, of the TV show 'The Crocodile Hunter,' holds a nine-foot female alligator in company with his wife Terri, who is from Eugene, Oregon, at his 'Australia Zoo' in Beerwah, Queensland, Australia, June 18, 1999. Steve Irwin was killed on Monday, September 4 2006, by a stingray barb during a diving expedition where he was filming off the Great Barrier Reef.

Irwin was at Batt Reef, off the remote coast of northeastern Queensland, shooting a segment for a series called "Ocean's Deadliest" when he swam too close to one of the stingrays, which have a poisonous barb on their tails that pierced his heart.

It didn't take long for the jokes to start coming about the death of Steve Irwin. I got an email today with a couple of funny pictures that I'm sure even Steve would have got a laugh out of.
