Digging A Hole Straight Through Earth?

November 23rd, 2006

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!

Whole Through Earth

So what would happen if you dug a hole straight through earth from where you live? Don’t worry…you’ll wonder no more because someone has put together this set of synchronized Google Maps that will let you drag the map around to adjust the location and the other one will move at the same time.

It looks like if I dug a hole through Iowa in the United States that I would end up in the middle of the Indian Ocean. I was always told it was China but North America is way too far north for that to happen. If you live over in Europe you’ll probably come out in the Pacific Ocean and the same goes for Africa. Looks like South America is lucky though because they should hit land somewhere in Asia. Hope you’re a good swimmer because nearly everyone is going to hit some sort of water. :D

    In Belgium there’s a comedian who made a joke about it.

    “Where do you come out, you start digging a whole straight through earth” –> in prison, because it’s forbidden

    I know, not the best joke ever :D

    We were always told that we (starting in Belgium) would come out in Australia, but apparently it’s not true.

    70% of Earth’s surface is covered in water….so yeah, odds are you’ll hit it.

    I land up in the South Pacific Ocean… I can’t swim… :(

    I’m not digging.

    Btw, shouldn’t it be digging a “hole”

    I’ve stopped digging until Australia moves into the middle of the Pacific Ocean! Good to see that the Google Ads are on topic – Minidiggers & excavators and post hole diggers!
