What a daredevil! Or something...

So, Nik Wallenda apparently got bored one day and decided that the Grand Canyon looked like an awfully good place to put a tightrope. He then called his agent and got himself a live show on the Discovery channel so the rest of us could watch him cure his boredom.

In reality, what he did was pretty stinking impressive. Most of have problems balancing on a street curb, let alone a 2 inch stell cable spanning the Grand Freaking Canyon...

Before he attempted his feat, Nik and his family were led in prayer by Joel Osteen. Which, honestly, makes sense. Wouldn't you want a guy with you that's on the Big Guy's good side? 

Also, during the live broadcast on the Discovery Channel, we were treated to endless promos about ugly naked people living in the wild...

Seriously, looking at that pic, all I can think about are the chiggers getting on things that never deserved to have chiggers on them...
