Explanation: What would it be like to stand atop the tallest mountain on Earth? To see a full panoramic vista from there, scroll right. Visible are snow peaked mountains near and far, tremendous cliffs, distant plateaus, the tops of clouds, and a dark blue sky. Mt. Everest stands 8.85 kilometers above sea level, roughly the maximum height reached by international airplane flights, but much less than the 300 kilometers achieved by a space shuttle. Hundreds of people have tried and failed to climb the behemoth by foot, a feat first accomplished successfully in 1953. About 1000 people have now made it to the summit. Roddy Mackenzie, who climbed the mountain in 1989, captured the above image. Mt. Everest lies in the Himalaya mountains in the country of Nepal. In the native language of Nepal, the mountain’s name is “Sagarmatha” which means “forehead of the sky

    It fouls the air, my clothes, hair and lungs without my consent.
    I too have pleasures. One of which is beer.
    The residue of beer is urine.
    Would you be annoyed if I stood on a chair

    1968 Pontiac GTO

    So the starter went out in my car, so while I pine for my baby, I decided to look up some more muscle car porn to distract myself. I though this be a certainly nice one to share.

    The 1968 GTO was probably one of the baddest looking cars ever to be made. Imagine driving through the desert, middle of nowhere, and this monster is trailing you. You know your car can’t outrun it.
