Man Who Jumped Over Niagara Falls Runs Off And Joins The Circus

HIDALGO, Texas - The only person to survive a plunge over Niagara Falls without a safety device has run off and joined the circus.

Kirk Jones, 40, planned to make his debut as the "world's greatest stunt man" during a Friday night gig with the Toby Tyler Circus, now touring Texas' Mexican border towns.

Last month, the former auto parts salesman from Canton, Mich., jumped over the Canadian side of the falls and somehow emerged from the rushing foam with only a few broken ribs.

Jones said circus promoters called him a few days ago and promised him something "spectacular." He would not say what his act would involve.

2. For his next stunt

He'll boost Bush*s popularity in the polls because we've now seen someone stupider than Bush!
