Nope, Kylie Minogue. Or Holly Valance. Choose any hot chick, they're all better than Gibson to me
I'll raise your hot sheilas with one Nicole Kidman.
I AGREE

I think I can safely say that the butterflies are harmless ... unless you are trying to catch one in a net at the edge of cliff.
haha omg.. do they also have killer koalas and bambis?
Ah yes. Drop Bears - deranged, rabid koalas.

It is home to the only venomous mammal, the Platypus. Presumably it had to become venomous just to compete with the rest of the fauna.
The solution to drop bears is to wear a pointy hat, sorts the little buggers right out!
Not that it'll/it'd ever see the light of day, but it's kind of a disturbing thought. I'm really sad right now
I used to frequent a gore site, that's correct a gore website, called "Ogrish" and you'd be surprised the amount of high profile death videos that surfaced. There were few that escaped absolute online exposure.

Not sure, if the platypus is a mammal?

re the holding the baby near the croc issue. It was a stupid thing to do and additionally it was stupid for Steve not to say he goofed on that. That said, everybody is entitled to make mistakes from time to time and making a mistake now and then does not put you in the Michael Jackson class of Wacko even if there was a similarity between Michael Jackson's behaviour and Steve's in that particular instant re holding near the croc and Michael Jackson dangleing the baby from a balcony. As far as I know, the encounter with the Stingray was filmed and apparently some member[s?] of Mr Irwin's family have asked that it be aired on public television.

You're right. It's a hairy fish with a beak.
Please tell me this is a joke. I have no intentions to ever watch Steve Irwin get killed.

If the video were accompanied by an appropriate expert discussion of what happened I could see some value to it, but if it were run by the news stations as just the latest intriguing bit of gore I would be very disheartened indeed.
Airing real life deaths over public television, at least here in America, is unheard of. No one ever televised the beheadings, R. Budd Dwyer killing himself or countless other instances. Unfortunately the release of such a video would just end up as fodder for gore sites. I think overall it's a bad idea. Not that I don't have the stomach for it, but theres a difference between seeing some faceless person getting killed over an icon that made a difference like Irwin did.

And sadly I agree, though if people could just treat it with the proper respect I think it would be a fitting final homage to the type of work he spent his life doing.
I think I heard this on BBC Radio 4 or BBC World Service radio and whilst I have issues with the BBC on political matters, they would be reliable on a matter like that. If it was done properly it would be okay e.g. in the style of a national geographic programme without hype and with insight in to and background about the filming of his television programmes.

I saw on the news that the Queensland government is considering naming a national park after Steve Irwin. A most fitting tribute to him and his work.
Not sure Germaine Greer would like that idea so much: GREER: 'IRWIN'S DEATH WAS ANIMAL WORLD'S REVENGE'.
Silly bitch.
Silly bitch.
