If You Dug A Hole Through The Centre Of The World, Where Would You End Up?

April 22nd 2007 00:20
Well I think the title of today's post sums it up fairly well.

If you were to dig a hole from where you are now, through the centre of the world, just where would you end up?

Believe it or not, some bored person has plotted out all the work for you.

Melissa,

Ha, very funny. Though going on to their bored.com website that has the actual place where the holes would come out, was interesting. Didn't know that if we dug a hole from Australia you'd end up in the middle of the Atlantic....guess I won't do that.

I know - it's funny isn't it - you just automatically assume you'll come up under land somewhere without even thinking about it.

I did that twice before iIbelieved it myself.

Apparently I would end up in China all the way from tiny Essex in England.

Cool thing. I'll have a look at the bored.com link later this evening, but now I've got to go and cook some sausages for dinner.

The bored link is good - it shows where you'd really end up!

Actually, the bored page is not accurate.
I am in Dallas, Texas, and it showed me coming into the middle of the Atlantic way below the equator...not even CLOSE.
