The hieght of Eevrest is 20928 feet ... ;-)

Correction, George. I believe that your keyboard is dyslecsic (sp) and that you meant to indicate the height of Chomolungma as 29,028 feet.

-- sobo (sobo@nwinfo.net), January 21, 2000.

Actually, it was a very subtle dyslectic joke. I transposed the 2nd and 3rd characters of height (as in the subject), Everest, and 29028.

actually, i think they re-evaluated the height at 29,030 feet fairly recently.

Ahhhhh George, a crafty one you are! I noticed that both "height" and "Everest" were misspelled, but missed the subtlety that all transpositions were of the second and third lteters or nmubers.
