Nik Wallenda completes Niagara Falls wire walk.

Did anyone watch this?

The guy is amazing with nerves of steel. He was chatting with reporters & his father while doing the walk.

Uh, how much is that in American?

>During the crossing, Wallenda was wearing a safety tether, which had been the source of some controversy before the walk. ABC had insisted that Wallenda wear a tether that would prevent him from plunging to his death should he lose his balance.

Oh! He had a rope around his waist! No wonder he made it.

He didn't need it as it turned out.

I'd love to see you make the same journey using a tether, just for the HELL of it to see if you could make 10 feet before you fell! 😛 😉 😉

I'd bet money against you having the intestinal fortitude to even try!

You're a Dr of Intestinal Fortitude?

Is that the only University you know, or did you google it?

Aren't you the golf player who has been playing for 40years who claims to me in better condition than people who work out in fitness centers?

You should know a little bit about Intestinal Fortitude! 😛
