This google map will show you precisely where you will end up if you dug a hole straight through the earth to the other side. From where I live I would end up in the Indian Ocean, a few hundred miles southeast of Africa. How about you?

Make sure you're reading that right; unless you're in east Asia, that's not where it should be. For me, it seems to jump there whenever I click "Dig here!" but it's nowhere near the marked endpoint.

Stupid Quebec isn't shown on the map at a close enough view to find my town or whatever.

Very interesting device. o.o' I was sort of hoping it would dig to the other side of the planet, by which I mean the stereotypical America <--> China idea, but this is interesting too. :shrug: I'm somewhat in Wester South America, I suppose. A bit north of where MrCow ended up.

It's cause no one cares about Quebec... sorry dude :(
PS: I end up in the ocean of the coast of aussi-land where the kangaroo's do romp.

I'm way out in the middle of the Indian Ocean though technically I'd get stuck at the center of the Earth.

Just as I had believed previously, I would end up SE of Madagascar in the Indian Ocean.
edit:
According to this map, in order to end up in China, you'd have to start in Argentina or somewhere nearby. Although, if you ignore the North/South aspect of this, Argentina is about as much East/West as the east coast of the US, which could explain where this saying came from.

I end up in the water, south of africa.. Closer to antarctica. To the people ending up in argentina and/or chile.. Where are you in the world? The only way to hit that area is if you are in asia. :\
edit: Anyone in the continental US is going to land in the indian ocean somewheres. Hawaii lands west of africa in the atlantic.
