Quote:Except that it wasn't. Steve Irwin made his claim to fame by repeatedly putting himself into harms way and by harrassing dangerous animals. More than anyone else on the planet, he had it coming, so sayeth Mother Nature.
The ironic thing is that a stingray isn't really considered a dangerous animal. It's very rare that one will sting, and it's even rarer that a sting is lethal. There have only been a handful of lethal cases.
But yeah, Steve Irwin did tempt fate a little too much. Still, his shows were fun to watch.
