how many frozen turds might there be on Mt Everest slopes?

Jeeeeezus, Fancy dropping one 's DAKS while admiring the view & having a crap up there!
The dunny paper could cut one's plums off while one was in the squat position as it would be like a sheet of cut glass.
To answer your question, probably thousands, because when you gotta go ya gotta go, no matter where one is located but imagine the wind whistling through one's rear valley while trying to dislodge one or two so you'd really need to think twice about it.

Not me. I wouldn't be up there in the first place. Hotham is high and cold enough.

Dunno about "smart kids in NZ", ND, but I'm a little worried about their judiciary.

The premise is that they can drive and more importantly have a job at 16 and so pay tax, therefore should have a vote.

That situation may have your sherpa tensing a bit!

Can they drink as well? Join the military? The answer to both is no.

Also, wouldn't this ruling make NZ's tobacco laws discriminatory? A person born after 2009 will never be legally allowed to but tobacco, but a friend born the day before will.

The can of worms is now open.

A good sniffer dog that doesn't mind the cold,or snow and ice, would probably find them,then they could be counted.

Some do spend many days looking for Koala poo,so a change in what they are sniffing for shouldnt be much of a deal

Dimensionaly it would seem so but one thing in it's favour it wouldn't pong like buggery.


Then again if the extra weight was putting downwards pressure on it, in a few years time it could be only 2' high.
