How to Properly Pronounce Mount Everest
Even though Mount Everest is the highest peak on the planet and even has a new movie focused around it, most of us are mispronouncing the name.
Mental Floss points out that the highest mountain on earth is named after Welsh surveyor and geographer Col. Sir George Everest. And his surname was pronounced Eve-rest, with a focus on the first part.
That's a notable difference to how almost everyone else says Mount Everest (Ever-est or even Evv-rest). Even the trailer for the new movie starring Jason Clark, Josh Brolin and Jake Gyllenhaal uses the Ever-est pronunciation.
Selfies are Deadlier Than Sharks
Sharks are known best for their pointy teeth and their hobby of chewing on hapless beach-goers. They have a pretty bad rap in pop culture too, with even George R. R. Martin having had his head ripped off by a shark in Sharknado 3: Oh Hell No! But there's one thing more deadly than the much-feared shark - the selfie.
Conde Nast Traveler reveals that through August 2015, the number of selfie-related deaths reached "at least" 10, noting that while several cases of selfie deaths have been easily tracked through media coverage, there are undoubtedly more out there.
How Young Will Spider-Man Be in the Reboot?
Spider-Man is getting another reboot for the big screen, and director Jon Watts has revealed how he plans to approach the famous Spider-Man story differently this time around.
For instance, we'll get to know Peter Parker from a younger age. Speaking to Empire magazine and as retold by Den of Geek, Watts said, "I love the idea of making a coming-of-age high school movie. We're really going to see Peter Parker in high school and get deeper into that side of it. He's just 15 now."
He adds that "there are only so many times you can kill Uncle Ben," confirming that the familiar origin story won't be rehashed this time around. For the reboot, Marvel is working off the assumption that viewers are now familiar with Spidey's origins.
