Okay, okay, I know it's not funny... but...
I am very sad that Steve Irwin died. I know there are a lot of jokes that can be made about the demise of the "Crocodile Hunter," but none of them will ever be made by me.
I did find a bit of Shakespeare-related humor, though, with one aspect of the Associated Press story about that sad event:
'Crocodile Hunter' Dies Doing What He Loved
CAIRNS, Australia (AP) - Steve Irwin, the hugely popular Australian television personality and conservationist known as the "Crocodile Hunter," was killed Monday by a stingray while filming off the Great Barrier Reef. He was 44.
Irwin was at Batt Reef, off the remote coast of northeastern Queensland state, shooting a segment for a series called "Ocean's Deadliest" when he swam too close to one of the animals, which have a poisonous bard on their tails, his friend and colleague John Stainton said.
A poisonous bard, indeed.

I miss you scarecrow!
He died the way he lived: needlessly antagonizing deadly animals.
Where's the love?

I feel the need to mention that "scarecrow" is not a nasty comment about the Crocodile Hunter, who is admirable for his conservation efforts. (Seriously) "Scarecrow" is a term of an endearment for my favorite person from Missouri.
Funny, i coudl hear your voice, Ariana, as I read your comment...
