R.I.P. to the man that discovered the roof of the world
Sir Edmund Hillary, the unassuming beekeeper who conquered Mount Everest to win renown as one of the 20th century's greatest adventurers, has died, New Zealand Prime Minister Helen Clark announced Friday. He was 88.
I'm sure the Obama is gonna love this headline: Hillary's Dead.
He wrote of the pair's final steps to the top of the world: "Another few weary steps and there was nothing above us but the sky. There was no false cornice, no final pinnacle. We were standing together on the summit. There was enough space for about six people. We had conquered Everest.
I'm sure he and Tenzing Norgay are looking down on the summit of Mt. Everest and laughing at its miniscule stature.
