don't let Bugs Bunny teach your kids geography
Sunday, April 22, 2007
If you ever watched Bugs Bunny cartoons you'll remember this one.
You know, one of the Looney Tunes characters digs a hole straight through the planet and ends up in every kids stereotypical idea of what mainland China *must* be like. Everywhere its huge saucer shaped hats, overly exaggerated slanted eyes, buck teeth. If someone even though about airing shit like that now the lawsuits would start. And rightfully so.
Anyway now you can find out where you would actually end up if you dug straight through everyone's favourite mudball, with a little extension of Google Maps. You pick your spot to dig, click 'Dig Here' and you find out exactly where you would end up if you kept digging all the way through the planet.
From my backyard, I ended up just east of Australia, somewhere in Great White Country.
Check it out yourself, for as long as the link works.
And FYI, every place I dig in China gets me to South America, so that pretty much settles that.

Oooh very cool!
I'm slightly to the left of you in the middle of the Indian Ocean. So basically we'd drown. Not my idea of a killer time.
oh, I dunno ravenmoon21, I think the sharks would get us long before we got tired enough to drown.
