Funambulist:

"Many, if not most, of the important scientific events that have occurred have appeared first in fun and play, as for instance, the suspension bridge which appeared first as a Chinese tight-rope-walker's frame. Funambulist = rope = walker; funis = rope; ambulare = walk. 'Fun' -- 'rope' -- Will Rogers -- line -- tension -- the 'fun' of Life."
