    All tiny, compared to the majesty that is Olympus Mons[^] Which to the best of my knowledge is still unclimbed.

      Not at all, trust me. I'm just sending him to Weathertop, and from there to Rivendell. Mordor?? I'd never do that.

      That's good. One can't simply walk into Mordor. Well, I could, but...

      I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats. His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

        Is it Mauna Kea, Mount Everest or Chimborazo? And by which measure?

          Well, you being a wraith can surely go to Mordor, although I'm not sure about the walking part. Also, you're missing a ring.

            Do you think the Orcs at the Black gate can tell a CodeWraith from a Ringwraith? They can't count to 9, much less to 0xDEADC0DE. Besides that, the Wraith Lounge at Mt. Doom is a great place to hang around.

              I think they can. Orcs were smart enough to forge weapons and armor, so counting wouldn't be a problem. But I suspect that you've been to Mt. Doom before, and that changes everything.

                Believe me, they were still fighting over what comes after 9 when I walked back out of Mordor.

                        Who cares? I am way too old to climb any of them. Also this sounds like a "Sheldon" question. You've been watching way too much "Big Bang" on TV. Finally, the mountain of debt the US Federal Government has created (lovingly referred to as the "Deficit" and created by both parties), is more insurmountable than any of those you referred to.

                        Slow Eddie. For those that don't get the reference watch the movie "The Hustler"

                              So, Mauna Kea is taller while Everest is higher.

                                I'm pretty sure those are Lembas sandwitches… with some Vegemite.

                                  Back in the mid-70's when I lived on Guam (Dad was in the USAF as an aircraft mechanic) I heard some of the other kids in school say that a certain mountain on the island (can't remember its name) was actually taller than Everest if you measured it from the bottom of the Mariana's Trench.
