Mount Everest has claimed the lives of over 216 known mountain climbers in recorded history. The area above 26,000 feet is called the Death Zone, where breathing fresh oxygen from canisters is necessary for all but the most experienced climbers. The atmospheric pressure is about a third of that at sea level, so there is about one third the amount of oxygen to breathe. The air is so thin, recovery of bodies is impossible. As such, many victims lay where they took their last breath.

Neat ant farm. Is that bleached flour instead of dirt?
Seriously,....surviving ‘mount obawmuh’ may be an equally dangerous experience.

And she walks like Dick Butkus but I could still take her in five rounds after she wore out her hands on my face.

“Explains how they make these:”
Well, first they collect the dead females that were parachuted off of Everest. You see, they are made by Sherpas and not of Sherpas.
Which leads me to believe there is some conspiracy going on.

I know I'm gonna be slammed for this but my opinion is...NO SYMPATHY.There's a reason why I've never jumped out of an airplane,driven 100MPH on I-95 or attempted to climb Everest..it's DANGEROUS!
