Canadian Immigration Officers welcomed him and stamped his passport, great feat probably never to be done again this era.

Congratulations Nik Wallenda

So I guess there's no point in my even attempting it now.

You could do it blindfolded, or maybe on a unicycle

I read that the TV network 'casting this insisted that he wear a "safety harness". Doesn't that rather kill the thrill?

Tangent: A few years ago we stayed in Durango Mexico awhile. Wandering around a beautiful section of town, we found the Panaderia Walenda, a superb Swiss-style bakery-cafe. Some Wallendas gave up 'flying' a century or more ago and started baking bread here. As we browsed, we chatted with a local customer -- who turned out to work in the nearby opera house, and he invited us in for a behind-the-scenes tour. We spent the next morning crawling all over that edifice. Extraordinarily friendly folks there!

A much more useful pursuit as far as I'm concerned!
