Digging To China (Another Oddity)

So there's apparently no way to dig a hole straight through the planet and end up in China if you're in North America. In fact, you're more likely to end up somewhere in the Indian Ocean.

Just another potentially interesting web find.

Lol, that was good. At least south americans can still use the "dig to china" phrase(s).

[UnHoly-Assassin]

Cool. I can dig from outside on my street all the way into Argentina.

I would burn up before I got within a hundred miles of the earths core, but on the off chance i survive, I would pop up a couple hundred miles south east of Madagascar. How interesting yet totally unusefull. It is a good thing there is unlimited space on the internet with all these pointless things poppoing up.

Man, I can't dig a hole to anywhere but the ocean.

Man, I can't dig a hole to anywhere but the ocean.same here.... hmmmm.... but what if it wasn't a straight path that I dug through? THEN could I reach china?

Will I meet giant and prehistoric creatures like A journey To Thr Center of The Earth when I dig?

No, you'll destroy the earth and all life on it, like in The Core.

you'll just die in while you are in the middle of the earth's core.

A hole directly down from the WTC site puts us what I estimate to be a few hundred miles southwest of Perth. Anyone up for a long dig and a little swim?
