Evel Knievel, the red-white-and-blue-spangled motorcycle daredevil whose jumps over crazy obstacles including Greyhound buses, live sharks and Idaho's Snake River Canyon . . .
That's just shoddy journalism right there. He did not jump over Snake River Canyon. He was propelled into it.

I've been thinking the same thing. I keep hearing about how he jumped Snake River Canyon on the news. They also seem to lump it in with his motorcycle jumps, when it was a steam rocket, and if he'd just kept his hand on the stick he would have made it across. I actually know a guy who was Evel's neighbor when he was a kid. According to him Evel was a complete asshole.

Let's face it. If any of us had that kind of fame and fortune we would be complete assholes too. That's of course assuming we aren't already complete assholes...

It's too late for me. Save yourselves.
