Call me Tenzing Norge

OK, Tenzing... whatever you like. But seriously ... duh what? Huh? I'm not getting where this fits in to the discussion, sorry.

I'm not trying to be rude, or nasty or nuthin', but it really helps to include something in reference to what you are replying to. (See Max Q's appeal in the I&A forum.)

"Duh...what...huh?"
I apologize, I was referring to the post immediately preceding mine written by Keiva, mate. Perhaps you didn't understand I was referring to Sir Edmund Hillary's expedition to Mt. Everest. Tenzing Norge was a sherpa who on the first expedition was a porter and carried the bags.

Excuse me, but this thread's concept of a nude/naked explorer on Mt. Everest is rather chilling.

Quite possibly his name has been transliterated both ways. Neither is necessarily "more correct" than the other, is it? [scratching head]

Spelling of Tenzing Norge/ Tenzing Norgay.
You better believe before I put a WORD on any of these threads that I look up everything first. It is spelled both ways.
It's chilling.
