Steve Irwin & John Denver ! ?

Now here is a bizarre coincidence
Both Steve Irwin and John Denver died in their mid forties,
Both died because of freak accidents,
Both died doing something they loved.

Ronnie...

Not much of a coincidence, but it's odd you say this because Irwin
ALWAYS reminded me of John Denver. Maybe you simply neglected to
mention the primary coincidence: their similar looks.

hamburger helper...

I was just thinking they looked very much alike yesterday. Weird. Word.

Ar Q...

Both are short.
Both are little overweighed.
And both are men!

Rob Jensen...

Both were born with hemoglobin!
And dendrites!
And spleens!

Actually, JD was in his fifties.

A closer parallel might be between Irwin and Philippe Cousteau, whose
son (also Philippe) was producing the documentary Irwin was working on.
Even PC Jr. has commented on the similarities.

But still, given there are 6 billion people in the world, weird
coincidences are happening every day.

Add Payne Stewart to the list and you have a trio.

Not really. Payne Stewart may have love playing golf, but I haven't
heard that he loved flying, as a passenger, from Point A to Point B
just so he _could_ play golf.

Howard U. Dewing...

There can't be more than a couple of thousand people about whom you
could say the same thing. And why is a crash of a light plane a freak
accident?

me...

yea, those things crash all the time ;)
