STUNTMAN SUCCESSFULLY ROCKETS OVER IDAHO CANYON

Professional stuntman Eddie Braun successfully jumped over the Snake River Canyon Friday afternoon. Braun soared over the southern Idaho canyon in a custom-built, steam-powered rocket dubbed “Evel Spirit”, named after famed stuntman Evel Knievel. It launched off a steep ramp on the edge of the canyon rim just before 4 p.m. as hundreds of onlookers watched. The rocket reached an estimated 400 mph before its parachute deployed, allowing Braun and the ship to land safely in fields on the other side of the 1,400 foot-wide canyon. Braun said in a statement after the jump, “I feel like the no-name third string quarterback of a junior varsity team that just won the Super Bowl. My team got me there. I ran it into the end zone. We scored and won.”
* Won what, exactly?
* Well, you wanted flying cars, now we have flying cars. They just work like rockets.
* So steam-powered rockets could be the next big thing, then.
* I admit it: I thought this guy would be a steaming crater by now.
* I’m glad he made it. It gives hope to lunatics everywhere.
* He made his comment and then was flagged 15 yards for an excessive football analogy.
