Chinese acrobat Adily, a five time Guinness world record holder...

Good for him. Let's see if he can do it after being a five time Guinness Beer drinker.

"I will demonstrate to the world that my crossing will be a bigger hit and you will realize that I am the king of tightrope," he said.

Oh, sh$#!!

The ChiComs are going to destroy us all!

We're all doomed.

Chinese acrobat to walk halfway across Niagara Falls on a tightrope.

There. Fixed it.

I will walk across the Niagara Falls next May ...

Step by step, inch by inch ...

There was a guy a long time ago that walked across the Falls carrying someone else on his back. About halfway across, the performer got tired and had to make the person on his back climb down and stand on the wire while he rested. The rider wasn't a tightrope walker (btw). It was a harrowing experience for him. They made it though. I wonder what new novelty any contemporary performer could find in Niagra Falls?

Not only is he not the first tightrope-walker to cross the river, he's not the first Chinese guy either - there's Chinese folks trying to sneak into the US by crossing the Niagara River on pretty much a weekly basis. Every once in a while, you'll hear about a couple of them getting flattened after getting the bright idea of trying to cross via one of the railroad bridges...
