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 Himalayan mountains in the country of Nepal. In the native language
of Nepal, the mountain's name is "Sagarmatha" which means "forehead of the sky."

Nothing feels better than taking out a bounty hunter with a sunslayer facial (with exceptions)

Nothing feels worse than losing your pride and joy that you spent 1.5 mths building.

EDIT: i've tried to fit hte explanaiton on one side.
