People who want to climb mountains for charity.

Man, I just got this e-mail at work stating that some ex-employee's going to try to climb Everest for charity and I can make a donation if I chose to.
Here's the thing, if you worked in a department where you sat on your ass for 7.5+ hours during the course of your day, I don't care what you do after work, you're probably going to die like a lot of other people have before. I've watched way too much Discovery to know that this is a fact.
What the hell are people thinking when they say to themselves "I'm going to climb a fucking mountain" but they don't have the conditioning to do it in the first place? I would rather get an e-mail saying, this guy's going to break both his legs with a sledgehammer unless someone donates money to this charity.

Other than that I think the breaking legs thing would be good.

Uh, so are you saying that if you sit at work like in a cubicle you will die of some normal cause? Or are you saying that if you work in a cubicle and you climb a mountain you will die? What does this do, or not have to do, with what a person does after work? What if you climb mountains after work?
So, you've watched so much Discovery Channel that you know dying on a mountain isn't a fact? Or, do you mean watching Discovery channel so much has impaired your brain from being able to know that this is a fact?

Many people die trying to climb Everest.
If your day job is sitting on your arse for 7 hours, your chances of dying increase somewhat on your everest climbing attempt.
Its really not that hard Trent.
Well, you kinda need to be in shape to climb a mountain. That means being active. As for climbing Everest, you need to be in better shape then people who are in shape to begin with. That make sense or is it too early for me to make threads without having my coffee first?

Actually I think it's too early for me to be reading threads.

Yeah, sure it was. It was the kind of English you would use maybe so that's why it made sense to you.
Someone back me up here that second paragraph does not make sense unless you think about what it really meant to say.

Then again, you know the difference between your ass and a hole in the ground.

I don't know, it sounds like they're just using their exotic vacation and trying to pick up some cash on the side for a good cause, which is still pretty cool of them. I don't think they decided to raise money first, THEN decided climbing Everest was how they were going to do it.
EDIT: I'm glad someone brought up the Everest Eliminator. I wanted to make the reference but I didn't want to dig into the Dinosaur Comics archives.
Unless you're dumb enough to climb above your skill and expertise
in that case, you're not very smart.
edit - However, if you do climb beyond what you're capable of doing, your obituary tends to be both hilarious and informative

Darfur can wait.
This really is the case, right there...
The problem is, Everest has become some kind of icon in pop culture nowadays. People think anyone can climb it, when in reality, a grand total of about 100 people have made the trek, and many have died trying.
He should climb something more achievable, but still awesome, like Rainier or something. Yeah, it'll be hard, but atleast you can breath at the top without oxygen, and with a few months of training, you could probably do it. As opposed to Everest, where even life-long climbers often die trying that trek.
However, it's still kinda creepy to think that the corpses are not only up there, but visible to all current climbers.
That should be a rude wake-up call to what the fuck your doing.
"Hey, this is fun!"
"Is that a body?"
"Err... yes..."
