BAMF of the Day

It's been 116 long years, but Niagra Falls has finally been traversed again via wire. Nik Wallenda, a seventh-generation acrobat, became the first person to cross directly over the falls, completing the 1,800-foot trek in just over 25 minutes Friday night. Supporters hope the stunt will help boost sagging tourism on both the Canadian and American sides of the falls. [nyt]
