Also, a thread of this type would be more well-received, I’d bet, if you picked a less popular person to make sport of. Most people really liked Steve Irwin’s public persona, and are sorry he’s dead; therefore they don’t want to be reminded of his untimely demise, and won’t see the humor in your OP. 😉 ---

I am now picturing Steve Irwin as the subject of the Dead Parrot Sketch from Monty Python. I am _so_ going to hell for this. :smack: ---

And now, as a public service to those Dopers who have difficulty with their hearing, I will repeat the top story of the day aided by the Headmaster of the New York School for the Hard of Hearing. The Crocodile Hunter is still dead. ---
