Link 3 Posted September 6, 2006 ok i know it's not really a joking matter, but it was kinda funny/ironic the other day when i found out. i was out on a boat to go parasailing and we were idling for a little bit waiting on the speed boat to come in. the group i was with and i were looking in the water and saw a jellyfish float by and then we saw a little stingray. apparently it was used to people because it came right up to the boat so we were all petting it. so we do the parasailing thing and come back in to see Irwin has been killed by a stingray. Kinda made us go "ok... that was a bit odd" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ayingel 24 Posted September 6, 2006 okay, actually...i kinda want to see the video... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheUnknown 39 Posted September 8, 2006 I kinda feel bad because my first reaction was something like "Well, I saw that coming." But, I feel bad for those who loved him, especially, considering I lost my dad at a young age, his kids. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
