When Andrew Waugh was surveying Mt Everest in 1856 he came up with a height of exactly 29,000 ft. Fearing people would think that was just an imprecise estimation he reported it as 29,002 ft.
Because of this, some say he was the first to place two feet on the summit of Everest.
The oarfish thing makes sense. Iirc, they’re deep sea fish so if one washes ashore that could be a sign of something seismic pushing them to the surface

One time I was 15 feet tall. Alright not really, but I finally found out about a mountain that I could handle climbing.
May the Lord be with you as He is with me.

Apparently Mount Tenpo is not Japan’s lowest mountain.
That title belongs to Mount Hiyori.

The Hilltop area of VA Beach is 11 feet above sea level as I remember it.

Today’s comic begs the question, if they continue to focus on things that are true; how can they stay with the title “Believe it or Not!”?

Denticles – the squiggly things that hang from a squid faced person’s mouth – like the Ood, Cthulu and Mind Flayers

If whale sharks had ears, they could wear safety glasses like everybody else.

Yeah, but how far does it go below sea level? When you consider that, Mauna Loa is taller than Everest.

‘Tenpo’ seems like a mountain because the inhabitants are really, really small!
