The Explorers Club
No. LX - Sir Edmund Hillary (1919-2008) and Tenzing Norgay (1914-1986), the first men to summit Mount Everest, the top of the world, on 29 May 1953.
Rest in peace, gentlemen, and thank you.
Fun fact: The late Sir Edmund was born fifty years to the day before Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin became the first men to set foot on the Moon during Apollo 11.

Lederhosen Lucil, "Meine Augen" from Tales From the Pantry (T.L.A.M.)
Commentary: The German title translates into English as "My Eyes."
"He would be happier,
If I were unhappier,
But I am not,
And so he is."
