More on our Niagara Falls jumper:

NIAGARA FALLS, Ontario (AP) -- A man who went over Niagara Falls with only the clothes on his back and survived will be charged with illegally performing a stunt, park police said Tuesday.

Kirk Jones, 40, of Canton, Michigan, is the first person known to have plunged over the falls without safety devices and lived. He could be fined $10,000.

Hopefully the money he'll make on the talk show circuit will offset his fine.

I like this part:

Among [those who have gone over Niagara Falls] was Steven Trotter, who made the trip twice: in 1985 in a barrel wrapped in innertubes, and in 1995, when he made the plunge with his girlfriend in another makeshift barrel. He said Jones' leap "cheapens the legend."

Poor Steven. Do I detect a hint of jealousy? Upstaged, are we?

Either way, they're all crazy. Pazzo.
