He's Gone... No Longer to Annoy Animals

Turns out I was wrong about Steve Erwin. I always assumed his fate was to be alligator or crocodile excrement.

There are people in the world that (for the betterment of mankind) are to dangerous or stupid to be allowed to live, as by living the life they choose in a most public venue they set a very bad example for the most impressionable among us.

We owe it to posterity to set an example for our progeny that if followed won’t get them killed. There are exceptions to this rule, but none of them end with said offspring becoming menu items or targets of primal vengeance.

Steve Erwin is dead and in his dying he has set a much better example for our children than he ever did by living. In life he showed that taking foolish dangerous chances was fun and exciting. In death he showed that taking foolish dangerous chances will get you killed. I hope the other celebrities who follow in his footsteps learn from his precedent or they will probably set the same example themselves, preferable, if they must, before they incite more of our young to die while handling poisonous snakes or wrestling alligators.

Could this have been pay-back for taking his one month old baby into the crocodile pen? I sincerely hope whatever was in Mr. Erwin that caused him to do these sorts of things was not hereditary.

Karma, is equal opportunity but none the less she can be a bitch. If you survive doing spectacularly dangerous things in a community forum, it stands to reason that the one you don’t survive will be a public moment as well.

If you keep on sticking your sausage into the sausage grinder just out of reach of the blades your sausage will eventually become Sausage.

You want to live an exciting life? Ride a skateboard down a hill, Sky-Dive, Bungee-Jump, do back flips off the high board but don’t go around angering beasts with big sharp teeth, poisonous fangs or claws. You may think it’s fun, but at best it is most annoying to the beasts. Our natural fears of such things may be pre-historic in origin, but they exist for good reason, don’t ignore them.
