    I was sitting on a bar stool in the Plymouth Tavern the other day and wondered, if I were to dig a hole all the way through the earth, where would I come out? Could I really dig all the way to China?

    After some quick math and several beers it turns out that if you were to remove your bar stool, start digging through the floor of the Plymouth Tavern , and dig straight down through the entire earth. You would come out in the Indian Ocean roughly 993 Nautical miles SW of Perth, Australia.

    Odd you mentioned that. I found a website through StumbleUpon that allowed you to type in your location and it would show you the opposite location on the planet. Can't recall the website name, though.

    The only thing I'm surprised about is after all those tasty cold beers that my math was right.
