I was saddened to hear about Steve Irwin, but unfortunately I was not surprised. His shows were fascinating, but I always found it hard to watch him tackle crocs and sling poisonous snakes around like ropes. I heard a few minutes ago that this accident was a one in a million chance in that the barb of the stingray went between the ribs to his vulnerable heart. Uncanny. Speaking of desensitization, that's what I see on some of these "risk factor" reality type shows. Tragedy is just waiting to be filmed. I missed ya, Jack.
