Crikey

 Well, this has put a real downer on the weekend.

Tonight, we'll tip a pint or three.

You'll be missed, Mr. Irwin.  We'll keep Terri, Bindi and Bob in our prayers.

 

 

UPDATE

Just took a cruise through Animal Planet (web and TV), and they finally updated the website.  It took them a while (holiday here in the States)

Discovery Channel International is going to rename the garden in front of the company's Maryland headquarters to the "Steve Irwin Memorial Sensory Garden".

They are also looking at creating a fund, the Crikey Fund, to continue Steve's work and pay for the education of his 2 children.

I just hope it doesn't become a boondogle like the WCF and other environmentalist causes.  I'd hate for his memory to become tainted in such a way.

Yes, it was a huge downer. Maybe Jeff Corwin can pick up the slack.

But there was nothing better than hearing "Crikey, he's a beaut!"

His father said today that there will be no state funeral. I also read today that his coworker/friend wants the footage of his death destroyed.
