DAREDEVIL!
Saw this headline in the elevator at work. Yes, there are televisions in elevators now. That was never a thing. Why has that become a thing?
Megastunts: Highwire over Niagara Falls LIVE!
Anyhoots, this guy, Nik Wallenda (7th generation of the circus Wallendas) is high wire walking over the Niagara falls tonight! At night! It’s weird that they call him a “daredevil.” Does that mean all circus people are daredevils? Am I a daredevil? If being afraid of waters (including pools) 12 ft and deeper because of shark attacks is what daredevils do, then yes!
Here are some bad ass pics of the Wallenda family in all their black & white glory!
