The Animal Planet's "The Crocodile Hunter", Steve Irwin, was eaten by a crocodile yesterday. Earlier in the day, Irwin had been teasing a great white shark with a cobra. His wife, Terri, thought it was a good idea to get into the water to get away from the komodo dragon. Irwin had arm wrestled the dragon two out of three falls and the dragon wasn't taking the news very well. Irwin was just about to tie the cobra into a bowtie ("He's a good cobber of a snake!" Terri reported he said) when the croc came up behind Irwin and took a bite out of the hunter's backside. Irwin had time to utter, "Crikey!" before he was dragged under and eaten. Mrs. Irwin plans on returning to Oregon. "Who needs this shit? I'm going back to where the most fearsome animal around is a beaver with an infected tooth." |
