Evel Knievel, R.I.P.

CLEARWATER, Fla. (AP) - 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 made him an international icon in the 1970s, died Friday. He was 69.

I've always considered Evel Knievel one of the coolest dudes on the planet... He had a cool name, cool look and a cool job. May he rest in peace...
