I have to be honest with you but the news of the death of Steve Irwin fills me with, at best, ambivalence and, at worst, a crippling apathy. Sure, I feel sorry for his family and his death does seem to have been a freak accident (since the last time this happened in Australia was in 1945) but if we are honest the guy was never going to grow old, collect a pension and die in bed, was he? Plus he had some interesting childcare techniques.
Still, he did have an interesting death. Whereas my demise will be somewhat less glamourous - in the words of Bernard L. Black I will die "alone, upside down, on the floor of a pub toilet."
