Facebook Changes Gender Identity A change is coming to your Facebook page. Starting today, the 159 million Facebook users in the United States can choose their gender in a whole new way. Facebook profiles will have 50 different choices including male, female as well as androgynous and transgender. The move comes after Facebook users lobbied for more options. One Facebook engineer said today the move wouldn't affect a lot of people but for the few, it would mean the world.

Daredevils Attempt to Walk Between Hot - Air Balloons Days ago, a French stunt group called "The Skyliners" (also known as "The Flying Frenchies") attempted to successfully complete the first ever slackline walk between two untethered hot-air balloons floating nearly 1,600 feet in the air . None of the daredevils were able to complete the walk. They wore parachutes and safely BASE-jumped to the ground. "Nightline" was there with exclusive footage of the stunt and the days leading up to it. Viewers will be able to watch in a "Nightline" special airing next month. You won't believe what else they did for our cameras!
