If all expenses would be paid I would blow the damned thing up, then walk onto the highest area of the pile and get 10 billion bucks.

Not a shabby idea Penguin.
![]() Nah, ten billion is nice, but climbing Everest in the winter by myself = suicide. So, basically the question is - Would you commit suicide for ten billion dollars? |

well, if you commit suicide you can at least build 40 pyramids for that amount of money - one for each body part : http://history.howstuffworks.com/anc...mid-today1.htm, maybe even 50 if you get mass discount

Tell me this is a joke. Edit: Okay, I just got to the burning orphans bit. It's a joke. Thank goodness.

I voted no, but then reconsidered my position whilst seeking clarification on the terms proposed.
If by 'mount everest' you mean 'my hotel roof, by way of internal air-conditioned stairs' and we are to take 'climb in winter' to mean 'piggy back on a sherpa during the height of equatorial summer in a tropical paradise' and by '$10bn' we actually mean 'an unrestricted expenses, fees and bar tab at the previously alluded hotel (recipient of minimum of 4 stars rating)', then my answer is yes. Emphatically. I will be expecting my airline ticked within the week, and upon arrival, at least a half dozen tropical beauties to attend my needs - though not specified in the agreement, such expectations are implicit in the current understanding of 'tropical paradise'. We've all seen those adverts for 'bounty' and such like, so I don't think we have to name the particulars which we must all (by now) be thoroughly familiar with. Best regards from Blighty, jumpy.

I'd rather slide down the sharpened edge of a samurai blade using my scrotum as a skateboard.
