at least 33 of the online people on my msn all have at least one turtle in their username area...
Have no idea where it got started, but it is a lovely gesture (some of the ones on my msn are from USA too). EDIT- forgot to add that yes I also have the turtle in my username... |

"Holy Smokes! That was too close....lets follow them"
Watching the Denton interview with Steve again was just as funny as the first time, but with a tear every now and then too when you realise how sad it is that the world has lost him. His legacy will live on, his work will continue, but it will never be the same. Before i came to Australia i remember watching the Crocodile Hunter and i thought Australians were cool because of him! I feel as if his kids have been robbed, especially his young boy Bob. I cannot begin to imagine what his loving wife is going through. It has been said and i agree 100%, i just hope they are left alone until they want to talk to the media and such. P.S Wildlife Warriors Worldwide is the name of Steve's wildlife conservation fund, dont bother trying the website, like all the Steve sites, they are down. |

Yet he never ended up getting Australian of the Year in his lifetime (in 2004 he was a finalist, but that was the same year the 'bob incident' occured)...

Steve has done so much for Australia. Such a shame I didn't get the opportunity to see him in person.
RIP Steve...

This a very sad for Australia.
But I am very annoyed with the Spoon man on triple M tonight. He got into that he torturing these animals and all the rest of it. Couldn't he of just left the man to rest in peace with coping a hammering on the day he passed away? |

Damn, that sucks.. Sure he was annoying at times, but he was doing what he loved... and at least there was someone out there keeping us 'Aussie' on TV/personality wise, rather than turning onto the American crap we see on TV etc.
RIP dude, I was actually kinda saddened by it. BTW, was it only the 2nd, or 3rd fatal ray attack? I've heard both ways. That sucks majorly. |

I'm still stunned...even now. I found this out at 4 pm on the radio news and just couldn't believe it. I still cannot believe it. A few people mentioned here that the guy was an idiot or iritating. Get a life....people like this bloke built and cemented the foundations of what this country is all about. A truly sad sad day indeed. I will certainly miss him.
Cheers.

I know he was one of your countrymen, and I feel bad for your loss.
He was pretty popular here (stateside). He was a bit of a ham, but seemed like a cool guy. A lot of folks here a compoletely shocked!! It's all over the news here.
