I notice it has been decided to re-measure Mount Everest after complaints ? from China that the old figure is not correct (29008ft instead of 29028ft). Why I don't know, seems crazy to me. It goes to show that no matter how big you grow ..... someone will try to bring you down to size. ;D

Feel sorry for the person who has to carry the tape measure!

Wait until they measure it and then pour an inch of dirt around the bottom so they have to do it again.

Apparently one country measures the ice on top of the mountain, while another country measures only the mountain.
