mjosparky 4 #51 September 4, 2006 Quotehe was absolutely confident in his ability to tempt fate. He was wrong. That statement could apply to a lot of skydivers. "The risk of living your life on the point of the sword is that it is the 1st to be blunted on the armour of reality. The risk of being part of the blade is far, far less, and yet we are still part of the weapon that slays the dragons of boredom that threaten our lives.

hungarianchick 0 #53 September 4, 2006 QuoteMy bet is he was probably fucking it around the way he fucked everything else around. Long live the Stingray. t "Fucking things around" as you put it so eloquently Tonto was his way of raising awareness to couch potatoes of our ever shrinking natural habitats and disappearing species to get of our 'arses' and do something. The world has lost a great conservationist. Too bad many people didn't see that. R.I.P. "I love cooking with wine. Sometimes I even put it in the food."

Richards 0 #54 September 4, 2006 QuoteQuoteI swam with the stingrays in the Grand Caymans and never knew of them to "attack" ...we were instructed to have a handfull of calamari as feed and allow them to suck it from our hands and then they swam off..very docile animals..called ballerinas of the sea... Been there. Initially I was scared when a whole bunch came to me at once trying to get some food (kind of like at a petting zoo when you have feed and the little guys crowd you). After I finished screeching in terror, i found them to be quite gentle animals and really enjoyed the experience of swimming with them and hand feeding them. Curious how someone like him could be kiled by one of them Richards My biggest handicap is that sometimes the hole in the front of my head operates a tad bit faster than the grey matter contained within.

I dont mean to sound harsh but I hope you go in before your kids want to jump. Don't want your children suffering from your idiotic choice in pastimes.

Not that I thought he was "super human" but with my kids growing up watching him and "living" somewhat vicarelessly thru him, it is sad to here that he is no longer with us. He did the world a huge favor by bring animals and the way they live to the fore front of TV viewing. Now to go and break the news to my kids, who thought he was super cool.
