Sir Edmund Hillary, the first man to climb Mt. Everest, has died of a heart attack at the age of 88. 15 teams, 75 old people, and nobody thought of this guy?? Let's see, he climbed to the top of a huge-ass mountain with nothing but a backpack, a Sherpa, and a death wish, you think that may have taken a few years off the old man? This brings the Kill Board to read: Overlooked Celebrities 1, Hand-Picked Choices of Alleged Know-it-Alls 0. We should all be ashamed.

Does anyone know if Tenzing Norgay is still alive?
Died a long time ago, per Wikipedia. Hillary actually refused to admit he was the first person to the top until many years after Norgay's death. Perhaps he was actually #2?
