Mallory also had a pretty strained relationship with his wife as a result of his mountaineering. If I remember correctly, he promised her several times he would never go back to Everest but always ended up going. I'm not saying I don't sympathize with his dilema, but it's worth pointing out that there are two sides to those famous words.

I love unfiltered information, but there was something pathetic about seeing Mallory's corpse in that picture -- just a frozen, eroded lump of meat.

There's a reason we don't see more pictures of our dead heros.

Of course, I don't think it's bothering him any.

Wouldn't that be 4?

No.

Uh? What am I missing? "Because-it-is-there." The 's counts as one word, no? At least that's what I was always told.

The 's doesn't count as a word. "it's" is one word, but it has the same meaning as "it is".
