Apparently there are so many bodies all along the trail, they use them as landmarks. One of them with fluorescent green boot has been there since 1996 and is referred to as "green boots."

These bodies must be a useful source of food for the herds of yeti that live on the mountainside.

That's just stupid beyond stupid. At least with the running of the bulls, everyone else gets to watch you being an idiot.

I'm sure they all have cameras now. It would be cool if there was a way to do a global image search in all languages. I bet there are a lot of pictures out there on the web captioned "Me on the summit of Everest" in various languages.

Seniors choose to rike bikes to school instead of "pranking", are even sensible enough to get a poice escort, and are suspended for a prank. WTF?

Good lord.

I hope one of those seniors goes on to be a forestry major so he can come back to school and clearcut the forest of sticks up that principal's ass. JFC.

My vote? NOT a prank.

What are the odds the principal was either caught up in the back-up or had relations/business get caught in it?

Cost to Make Penny and Nickel Rises, Annual Loss Reaches $116.7 Million

Quote:

The cost for the United States Mint to produce and distribute the cent and nickel rose to their highest levels,
and are now more than double the respective face values. For the fiscal year ending September 30, 2011,
the unit cost for the cent was 2.41 cents and the cost for the nickel was 11.18 cents

Our smallest coin is the 5 cent. Life goes on.

Unit cost, not value of materials. Unit cost including manufacture and distribution. The cost of distribution will vary according to things like gas prices.

classicman · 05-23-2012, 10:17 AM

Unit Cost to Produce and Manufacture Cent
...............................................FY 2011 FY 2010
Cost of Goods Sold .................0.0197 0.0176
Sales, General & Administrative 0.0041 -
Distribution to Reserve Banks....0.0003 0.0003
Total Unit Cost .........................0.0241 0.0179

Unit Cost to Produce and Manufacture Nickel
................................................FY 2011 FY 2010
Cost of Goods Sold .................0.0938 0.0916
Sales, General & Administrative 0.0176 -
Distribution to Reserve Banks...0.0004 0.0006
Total Unit Cost .........................0.1118 0.0922

This represents the sixth year in a row that the cost to produce and distribute the cent and nickel have exceeded their face values. For the 2011 fiscal year, the two denominations were produced at a loss of $116.7 million. This amount is nearly triple than the loss of $42.6 million generated from the two denominations during the prior year.

I would like to exchange these for 4.82 cents.
