Random Thought of the Day

Have you ever heard of Olympus Mons?

It's the largest mountain in the solar system. And it also happens to be the largest volcano in the solar system.


Oh, and it's on Mars, by the way.

Someone's got an acne problem...

It also happens to be so large that as you approach its summit, you wouldn't even notice that you're climbing a mountain at all. The average slope of Olympus Mons is only 5 degrees!

But if you're approaching the mountain from afar, you'll encounter the shield escarpment, a huge 5-mile-high wall!

It's just so freaking big!



That's what she said...
