Everyone, and I mean everyone, should have their own removable swagger stick.

Welp, now I'm back to posting stuff thanks to this silly show

Here's a perfectly normal Digital Circus OC. She's just a motorcycle stuntman npc who instructs the player on how to do cool things with bikes. Nothing else going on with her.

Uh, ok She does pop up and ride around in places she shouldn't be, and she just kept... coming back...

Elderly Embrace Extreme Sports, but Is It Just a Senior Moment?

A growing number of seniors are swapping shuffleboard for skydiving and front lawn socials for BMX biking. These geriatric daredevils are golden age adrenaline junkies and they’re defying expectations and gravity as they embrace extreme sports with gusto. Some local retirement communities, once known for their tranquil gardens and leisurely bingo nights, are now loud with partying and roaring…

Some people may say that it's not a good idea to leap off the top of a Horus.

That's only because they don't have a friendly friend to grab you out of the sky. No worries!

Each animal who we eat had their own unique personalities. The meat on your plate may have been sweet, friendly, outgoing, shy, bold, or had other amazing traits. See the individual. Make the switch to plant based for a happier world.

June 30, 1859: Daredevil crosses Niagara Falls on tightrope

Jean Francois Gravelet, a Frenchman known professionally as Charles Blondin, becomes the first daredevil to walk across Niagara Falls on a tightrope. The feat, which was performed 160 feet above the Niagara gorge just down river from the Falls, was witnessed by some 5,000 spectators. Wearing pink tights and a yellow tunic, Blondin crossed a cable about two inches in diameter and 1,100-feet long with only a balancing pole to protect him from plunging into the dangerous rapids below.

It was the first in a series of famous Niagara tightrope walks performed by “The Great Blondin” from 1859 to 1860. These “ascensions,” as he advertised them, always had different theatrical variations, including doing tightrope walks blindfolded, in a sack, with his manager on his back, sitting down midway to cook an omelet, and pushing a wheelbarrow across while dressed as an ape. In 1861, he performed at the Crystal Palace in London, turning somersaults on stilts on a rope stretched 170 feet above the ground. He died in 1897.

This souvenir card depicting Blondin crossing the Niagara River can be found in the online collection of the Niagara Falls Museums.

"(...) The moon was shining bright upon the clearing, and there in the centre lay the unhappy maid where she had fallen, dead of fear and fatigue. But it was not the sight of her body, nor yet was it that of the body of Hugo Baskerville lying near her, which raised the hair upon the heads of these three dare-devil roysterers, but it was that, standing over Hugo, and plucking at his throat, there stood a foul things, a great, black beast, shaped like a hound, yet larger than any hound that ever mortal eye has rested on.
