Let's turn to higher things! A mountain is a hunk of stuff that sticks up above the surrounding land, yes? OK, so what's the world's tallest one? Hint: it does NOT begin 'E' And for a bonus point: what's the tallest known mountain in the universe? -- Andy Taylor [Editor, Austrian Philatelic Society; Chair, N E Lupus Group].

I think I need a break! Something new and funny. > Whacha got? You mean, like, a talkie? There's "Men In Black." And have you seen the "Farscape" TV series? That's a show with a great sense of humor. ("I can't believe I left a nuclear bomb in an elevator!"--"That's okay. You've done worse.") "Red Dwarf" is another funny sci-fi series that turns up on some PBS stations. --Bill Thompson

"Mauna Kea is the tallest mountain in the world when measured from base to summit, since its base is located on the seafloor about 19,000 feet (5,800 m) beneath the surface of the Pacific Ocean, bringing its total height to about 33,000 ft (10,000 m). " >and I believe Mair is correct with the tallest mountain in the universe >being on Mars...named Olympus Mons, right? > That's my understanding too. Interesting that it's so big that if you were standing on it you wouldn't see it as a mountain! -- Andy Taylor [Editor, Austrian Philatelic Society; Chair, N E Lupus Group].
