NOTE FROM KIM:

The grandson of a Nepali sherpa in the first
expedition to scale Mount Everest 50 years ago
plans to set up the world’s highest Internet cafe at
the mountain’s base camp.

The Top 9 Features at
the Mt. Everest Cyber Cafe

9> Flame wars are much more enjoyable now that they’re the only source of warmth.

8> Typical spam: “Fast herbal cure for your frostbitten manhood!”

7> Due to altitude, really, REALLY fast satellite access.

6> Wireless e-mail packets are transported by llama.

5> Why risk the climb when you can Photoshop yourself onto an image of the summit?

4> An inordinate number of frozen screens.

3> “You’ve got hail!”

2> Just steps from the newest Starbucks.

and the Number 1 Feature at the Mt. Everest Cyber Cafe…

1> The extra 785 feet just makes it so much cooler than that lame cyber cafe on K2.
