"Death by Misadventure"*


So Steve Irwin has been killed.

Damn, didn't see that one coming.

You've gotta hand it to the Aussies; when they go out -- they go out big.

Irwin follows in the grand tradition of Michael Hutchence, who accidentally hung himself during auto-erotic asphyxiation; Bon Scott, who choked on his own vomit after a night of drinking; and of course Mel Gibson -- who isn't dead, but may as well be.

Tonight, the lights at Outback Steakhouses across the country will no doubt be dimmed in tribute to Steve.

(*These exact words were listed as the cause of death on the coroner's report for Bon Scott. You get the feeling that this particular term is pretty much exclusive to Australia.)
