I always enjoy reading stuff like this.

Always amazes me at the creativity of people to come up with the idea to do this.
 
I'm surprised no one mentioned the graveyard. Mt Everest has some frozen bodies up there.
 
It may not have "wifi" yet, but base camp does have satellite internet. Expensive as hell though.
