Scientists: Mt. Everest Only 29,017 Feet

I thought the most elaborate and precise data ever obtained by Chinese or foreign scientists was the warhead technology sold by the Clintons.

They used the traitorous Clintoon data to send a missile up the slopes to measure the height of Everest.

Mount Everest, is 12 feet shorter than previously thought

Well, then, here I come! Now where's my rope?

I've got it and am making a noose out of it. I can't take this horrific news.

Do you realize what this could do to the population of kangaroo's in the outback? ; )

"a congressional panel better be put together!"
Good idea. Appoint a fact finding commission. Put all the more objectionable types on it (hillary, kennedy, frank, rangel,- you get the drift) - and send them up there to climb and to investigate. With any luck at least some of them will perish on ascent and the rest will freeze to death on the mountain. Imagine the last survivors actually cannibalizing kennedy both for food and for fuel...

[EGPWS]

Yep! It was full of asbestos too!

I'm replying in spirit only for I have already hung myself to alleviate the pain of depression!

Gravity never sleeps.

And we wouldn't want to disrupt the pristine environment of Everest by polluting it with oxygen tanks.

That's still one heck of a long ski run ... :)

[EGPWS]

Oh. Is that all?

Really!

Could you just imagine the ruckus if it would have gone "up" 12 feet? ; )

MOUNT EVEREST SHRINKING!!!! RIGHT WING CHRISTIANS AT FAULT!!!@!!

[Larry Lucido]

Bad news, dear. We never really joined the 5.4979166 Mile High Club.

[Dashing Dasher]

We still have time!

;-)

In related news, Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-Soc, NY) has denounced as a "vicious right-wing smear" the report that she was named in honor of Sir Edmund Hillary.

LoL!

Perhaps the ACLU could actively promote a refund on dues paid!

[Larry Lucido]

Don't despair. Even as we speak, 50 mountaineering outfits are being ordered and these brave girls should have the mountain back up another 15 to 20 feet in no time.

[RightWhale]

The measurement will have to be made again following the Pakistan earthquake.

ROTFLMAO

Now what do we do about those destitute team members? : )

Some would probably attribute it to the global impact of Viagra and Cialis manufacturing.

[Wuli]

Maybe geologically Everest is starting to sink, from deep underneath the surface. It took millions of years to raise it up. Maybe it will be millions of years sinking down to sea level again.

[Larry Lucido]

We still have time!

LOL! Keep at it until we get it right, I always say.

[Larry Lucido]

Apparently, though, the earth really did move for us.
