Would you climb Mount Everest in the Winter by yourself for $10 billion?

[Penguin]

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?

Absolutely. Sure, you go through a few minutes of pain, but then you get $10 billion, which you can spend any way you want and never have to work again.......oh, wait.

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

I didn't expect that theonion's video's are so well made, this was actually the first time I watched moving pics by them. Only the foortage from the construction site could have been better done (nitpicking German )

Oh. My. God.

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.

The thought and image of that just made me think.." Oweee "
