Wow, the guy was fun to watch since he was such a wierdo. Like the Tupac of nature. Still kinda amazed that he died though, although it shouldnt be to unconcievable since he taunted his life with deadly animals ALL the time.

Aw man guys I feel real bad, I just like the world felt when superman died fighting Doomsday in the comics. Steve Irwin was a legend. I feel like the peopel who commited suicide after kurt cobain killed himself.
Man, Im in shock over this.
Its sad, he had 2 kids:(

I am living proof that people who do dangerous destructive things are sensitive too:)

If your talking about simple pyrotechnics and potato guns, I wouldnt consider that very dangerous. Hell, youd have a higher rate or injury/death from driving a car to work, or something of that nature. I mean the chances of dying from a potato gun, are similar to that of getting struct by a asteriod. So I wouldnt claim to be a dangerous person since I walk out side where there is a known possibitly I could be stuct by a asteriod. Im a destructive person :-p

Funny that it would be America alerting you of such...

Anyway, I ment small scale, not something similar to why many speculate why we dont have T-Rex roaming are earth. I remeber seeing on the Discovery channel or something, about a guy camping in the desert and being struct by a asteriod the size of a baseball that totaly f*cked the guys leg by striking his shin and destroy the rest of its path. Ive seen a few photos of someone having a hole in there ceiling resulting from a < baseball sized asteriod. I hope you got my point.
