    This guy is just nuts...most people NOW wouldn't even bother doing a thing like this. But then again, there aren't many tightrope walkers.

    I think French fries are already being phased out. A restaurant I went to recently literally had a choice between French fries and American fries.

    It should be clear from the title that those dirty Frenchmen are up to no good again, tight-rope walking our tallest buildings and exposing themselves.

    The dirty animals... I think this calls for an embargo on French bread, and pastries!

    You got it!

    It's in black and white and the guy casually does tricks between the WTCs. Something about a crossbow... he gets arrested and the cop is very impressed by his performance, regardless of the fact he is handcuffed to a chair right in front of him.

    Also, the meaning to life is at the end.

    Assuming you could still do this today, the punishment would be a little more than a free show for kids. I would guess deportation to a hidden jail with a side of torture.
