When Everest was first measured, it was exactly 29,000 feet.

They figured no one would believe this, so they told people it was 29,002 feet

Sometimes things just are, regardless of what we expect.

Waugh is sometimes playfully credited with being "the first person to put two feet on top of Mount Everest".
