I AM serious, and stop calling me Shirley

At 88, the first man recorded to have climbed Mt. Everest (along with Sherpa Tenzing Norgay), Sir Edmund Hillary, has died.

As a climber (or I should say former climber), I have of course always held Hillary in very high esteem.  But this less for his being the first to climb Everest than for his "style."  Hillary never sought the spotlight and lived a life of humility and respect for others.

Yes, RIP to a brave soul. At least he lived a long and full life.

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.

    Lesson Learned:
    • Osmosis: os·mo·sis (oz-mo'sis, os-) n., 1. When a bird eats something.
