Today is a very important day for TTWAAR and its followers. Why, you ask? Because today is Steve Irwin's birthday, that's why.
Steve Irwin is possibly one of the most radical dudes you will ever learn about in your brief and miserable mortal existence, not only because he just went about pissing off animals to both educate and entertain the people of the world, but because he also happened to be a pretty swell guy, too.
He had been wrangling crocs and caring for wildlife since he was a kid alongside his old man, and I guess those are some pretty important life skills to put on your CV when applying for a role in a zoo because eventually that is exactly where he found himself, in his dream job at Australia Zoo. Whilst working here he had a brief encounter with a vacationing American named Terri, and the two hit it off so well they would eventually marry, and then spend their honeymoon wrestling crocodiles. He also took his one month old son with him to a crocodile feeding show, which for some reason people were upset about, as though they didn't get how cool Steve was and how this was textbook Steve coolness at play.
He was eventually released from his human shackles and free to take his seat by God's side via a stingray attack in 2006, which was a total bummer, but death by animal was most likely the way Steve always expected to go, so we can all take comfort in that. He also has a turtle species and a road named after him, which I imagine is a first for anyone.
Were there any animals he was scared of?
Parrots.
We remember you fondly Steve, I only hope animals do go to Heaven, because otherwise that is no Heaven for you.
