The problem with this logic is when does one stop counting birthdays. Do you say, "If Steve Irwin was alive today he'd be 65. He'd be 100. He'd be 265!"baconsarnie said:It's actually quite common to still remember anniversaries after people have died, a birthday has so much more meaning knowing that person never got to be that year older.warprincenataku said:I think we stop counting birthdays once someone has died.
OT: He was a serious legend, you might take the piss out of him but you can't fault him for doing what he loved.
RIP dude
It's just part of remembrance, it stops when people stop doing it depending on how important he was to any given person.

Yes he was epic, yes his death was a great loss, but I just don't understand the logic about wishing a dead man a happy birthday.
America still celebrate's past presidents' birthdays, this is another mystery to me. I'm not trying to be insensitive, just curious is all.
Agreed, RIP Crocodile Hunter.
Fair enough. But we still miss him. Seriously, a sting ray? It should have been a croc or a shark at least.Casual Shinji said:The only reason people remember him fondly is because he's dead.
Seriously, the guy was a total moron. Dangling his own baby infront of a crocodile; An icon indeed.
I'll admit that the first time I saw him do his thing years back, it was new and interesting to see a guy do a nature documentary in this fashion. But after a while you could tell it wasn't about showing the beauty of nature, but about Steve crying for attention. He reminded me of a little 8-year old screaming, "Mom, mom, look over here! Look what I can! Look over here, come on! Come on, watch this!!!"Laurie Barnes said:Fair enough. But we still miss him. Seriously, a sting ray?
