The Rebel Faction

I am sure that all of us have done idiotic things as a child with our patrents that today would have seemed horrible. Sons of truck drivers may have sat on their fathers lap as it rolled 70 mph down the interstate. Sons of sailors might have gone aloft being held twenty feet above an unforgiving sea...etc

I know my first ride in a Leopardpanzer was when I was two before my father died. There was no helmet my size but wads of cotton were put inside my ears. I bounced around on his lap - I have only the scantest memory of it but I was told I was ecstatic, laughing and giggling as it traversed the obstacles at Ronndorf, one of the Panzerwaffe proving grounds in South-western Germany.

He loved his children and he loved animals. He introduced at a young age. Extreme to us, but probably routine to him.

If the plan says the child must die, then the aligator would have seen to that. It was not, and so it lived. Animals and Nature serve as an infallible form of population control. But it was not to be - -so let us not dwell.

He will be missed. He was the quintessential Australian, along with the Game Warden from Jurassic Park I and the hunter from Jurassic Park the Lost World.

I never really saw a lot of the Crocodile Hunter stuff, but anytime someone dies, especially when its unexpected, its a tragedy.

Yes he will - -but on thatnote steda you are neglecting our thread *brandishes whip*

youre turn again.



Honestly, he will be missed. I wonder who the next crazed Australian will be - -there simply must be a list, somewhere

Also ttrue - -being killed by the thing you love - certainly makes one reconsider what one loves....
