Circus

Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus was founded on April 10, 1871. Coming up on May 21st, "The greatest show on earth" will come to an end and is set stream live on Facebook and on the circus website.

I am not a fan of circuses and I will tell you why. I once went 'backstage' at a circus and was shocked to see elephants chained up and in my opinion 'drugged up'. That did not sit well with me, so I can totally see why an animal would want to escape - just like these two zebras did!

If you have ever wondered what it would be like to be shot out of a cannon, this is about as close as you can get. Unless you are a circus person, if so - put yourself in the damn cannon!

Fifteen to 20 circus performers total were injured in a collapse that happened over the weekend at the Dunkin' Donuts Center in Providence, Rhode Island. Apparently 9 acrobats were seriously injured after falling 40 feet to the ground. The fall just looks absolutely brutal which you can check out for yourself here.

Juggling hats shouldn't be this entertaining, but somehow this chick makes it something you can't stop watching, almost mesmerizing. And then,  when she adds a hat rack in as part of the show, forget about it, you're locked in with no hope of turning away...

Described by the guys assistant as "Crazy, next-level dangerous and difficult". While it is pretty amazing, I think this ranks up there somewhere in between the range of ridiculously -stupid and eff'ing retarded.

Usually when people go to the circus for the first time the things they'll remember the most are the trapeze artists, the clowns (both performing and in the stands), or the performances, not the tiger in the bathroom. But for one circus goer that is the memory that will stick with her forever.

Circus folk are a crazy breed. This dude takes that craziness to a new level. Watch this clown hang from a helicopter with no safety line.

This video is kind of like the commercial where the 3 Guinea Pigs are rowing the boat to power the computer, but it's real.  It features a praying mantis on a unicycle and a beetle being launched from a cannon.  Hell Yeah for the internet.
