Australia takes another blow

It has been a bad week for Australia. First, possibly our most famous icon is killed in a freak accident. The second of its kind; ever. Those are pretty shitty odds if you ask me. Someone said to me "he couldn't have died in a more archetypically 'Australian' fashion. Maybe they were right. If Steve Irwin were to go, it would have to be a giant shark, The biggest crocodile known to man or... the most peaceful of all sea creatures? But today Australia was kicked while she was down. Peter Brock, one of the greatest drivers in history was killed when his car hit a tree during a race. Steve, Brocky: we'll miss you guys. Its not going to be the same without you down under.
