Climbing Everest is an expensive way of getting killed. so far 2500 people have climbed it of which 250 have died trying.

Hate to say this Homer but my friend died attempting to climb Everest as a a 'things to do before you die'. Find something less risky and avoid causing the heart ache.

friend of mine went on an expedition; he didn't die, but he didn't make it to the top either. If you want to do something that you'll definitely succeed in, you might be wise to lower your sights. On the other hand, if you genuinely want to risk your life, with a real possibility of failure but also the possibility of achieving something rare, then this is a goodie. Here's a site:

<hmmm... can't help noticing that instead of links to Everest, the Google ads on the right are just linking to public relations... maybe they're trying to tell you what sort of job you should really try...>
