3. Dang. That would have scared me when I was down there.
Made several visits there, and never saw anything like that. Wouldn't have cared to, either. But I'm a chicken and I hate crowds.

12. for the first few moments ...
I was troubled to figure out whether it is real or some art deco on the bottom of the pool.

Incredible!

21. Every one of those things should be killed...
And once they're dead, make a huge pile out of the carcasses in front of Bindi's house to let her know we have her daddy's back...

24. Um... wow, just wow at the both of you.
So now we have to pick one to hate, Steve Irwin or Stingrays?

Do I also have to hate the sun just because it will one day kill the earth and everything on it?

Does that fact make it any less beautiful and awe-inspiring?

Irwin seemed like a big overgrown kid with a zest for life to me. He died happy, doing what he loved. He always knew he would die young.

And he loved stingrays.

25. Irwin was a big overgrown twat..
...who fucked with the animals one time too many...

My reaction was to the poster that thought it was fine to wipe a species off the face of the planet in order to assuage the imaginery angst of a small Australian child..

THAT kind of mentality is just fucking stupid...

30. ...
1) I'm pretty sure the poster you replied to was joking

2) Irwin has done more for those animals he "fucked with" than most people could ever dream of.

26. Link between stingray population and sharks
That is a terrific photo. Thanks for sharing.
For those interested, the link below is to an article about the link between stingray population, sharks, and natural balance.

snip> "As hammerhead populations decrease, their chief prey the sting rays increase in numbers consuming more shellfish and clams causing an imbalance in the ecosystem."
