The tallest mountain in our solar system is Olympus Mons, which is on Mars.  It is about 15.5 miles tall. 
Always stay cheerful, be polite, kind, and understanding. Accepting yourself as the woman you are is very liberating.  Never underestimate the appreciation and respect of authenticity.  Help connect a person to someone that may be able to help that person.  Be brave, be strong.  A TRUE friend is a treasure.  Relationships are very important, people are important, and the sooner we all realize that the better off the world will be.  Try a little kindness.  Be generous with your time, energy, wisdom, and resources.   Inconvenience yourself to help someone.   I am a brown eyed, brown haired woman.

I never got a CD from them, but they did send me a settlement check for the class-action lawsuit. Good times.  ;D

BLOCKBUSTER could have at one time bought NETFLIX for $50 Million USD.

The market capitalization of NETFLIX is now about $563.08 Billion USD.

One billion is the same as 1,000 millions.

They had different business plans. Blockbuster was focused on the "brick and mortar" stores, while Netflix was focused on internet venues.

This July 5-6 weekend, some of the best Rubik's Cube solvers in the world are competing at the Rubik's World Cube Association World Championship at the Seattle, Washington Convention Center.

Events include timed, fewest moves, blindfolded, and one-handed cube solving competition categories.

Yes, that includes blindfolded.  To find out how that works, do an Internet search for an explanation.
