Most of us will never ascend Mt. Everest.
But thanks to climber Elia Saikaly, we can experience what it's like to see the night sky over the Himalayan giant.
His amazing video takes you to the rooftop of the world.

In an effort to promote its summer-reading program, the Seattle Public Library recently attempted to set a new record for the world's longest book-domino chain.
According the video above, on May 31, two college students and 27 volunteers used 2,131 books to build a domino chain that wound around the grounds of the library's flagship location (1000 4th Ave., Seattle, Washington).

In response to the sexist pearl-clutching of Fox News panelists Lou Dobbs, Erick Erickson, and Juan Williams on May 30—where they decry women for basically ruining the very fabric of American society by daring to work outside their houses—Megyn Kelly invited smug-faced Dobbs and Erickson to have a discussion.
While Kelly is usually just as much of a sexist apologist as these guys, to her credit, she tears them a new asshole.
“What makes you dominant and me submissive?” Kelly asks. “And who died and made you scientist-in-chief?”
