A.J. JACOBS is a senior editor at Esquiremagazine and the author of The Two Kings: Jesus and Elvis, America Off-Line, and Fractured Fairy Tales. Since his local grocery store did not carry the type of mint cake chosen by Tenzing Norgay to celebrate his successful ascent of Mount Everest, Jacobs celebrated the completion of his feat with some Ring Dings. He lives in New York City with his wife.
