dangerous animals remember steve irwin, part four: timothy the louse
Zembla's tribute to the recently-deceased Crocodile Hunter concludes today with a final interview. (Part 1 2 3) Our last subject is Timothy, a sucking louse that previously lived in Steve Irwin's hair. Q. Timothy: I chose Steve as a host quite by accident. I'd somehow managed to get myself into the fur of a kangaroo, and after what seemed to be a rather intense wrestling match, I found myself clinging to his scalp. Q. Timothy: He'd pick at us with a lot of enthusiasm. If he managed to grab one of us, Steve would hold up the louse and yell, "Look at her! She's a real beauty!" Q. Timothy: I don't think so. I am a head louse, and even I think we all pretty much look the same. Q. Timothy: He'd carefully put the louse in a bag and take it to the "preserve", as he called it. Then he'd carefully release it, explaining how beautiful the louse was. Q. Timothy: No, Steve wasn't on camera while he was doing that. Q. Timothy: It was a bit dangerous. You never knew when he'd suddenly fling himself into a river or slam his head into a tree. Never a dull moment with Steve. Q. Timothy: Once you fall off a person, that's pretty much it for a louse. By the time anyone reads this interview, I will surely be dead. Q. Timothy: It was a pleasure. Steve was a wonderful host. The lone criticism I have is that he could have worn looser shorts. Q. Timothy: I had some friends down there. Posted by sean at September 10, 2006 10:26 PM | TrackBackComments
