I believe you now. It's just that when I see news sites like the one posted above, I get skeptical because the news article was horribly written.

You guys in Austrailia and such might not hold credit to Yahoo, but I see it as a reputable source.

I never understood why Terri became more and more ballsy and wanting to wrestle crocks (if you saw a show or two from different seasons you'd know what I mean)... wonder if she'll take over the reigns... He brought attention to wildlife preservation, that was his goal and stuff, even if he was a little crazy. RIP.

I wonder if the stingray was gorgeous or not.
