I have a question. I've talked about it with the six nuts and it's quite an interesting topic. Ok, here it is: Imagine that the earth is dirt all the way through, if you dug a hole straight through and came out the other side and then let go, would you be floating up or falling down?
It's just one of those crazy thoughts, you know?

If gravitational pull comes from the center of the earth, you would just get stuck in limbo. Not a nice predicament, as I doubt that you could do much to get un-stuck. On the other hand, if you don't get stuck, that would be a much less expensive (albeit more time-consuming) way to take a trip to China!
What did I tell you Bub? Look up there ^^^^^^^^^^^
So...you would just float there...in thin air...in the middle of the earth? And the dirt that you knock away, would it also just float there...in thin air...in the middle of the earth?
You guys just made my mind blow up...
THANKS
This is really stupid.
EVERYONE KNOWS that you can't go to the middle of the earth.
BECAUSE of the midgets that rule the middle-earth-o-sphere.
They have little castles, horses, knolls, and cattle.
Even if you make it that far they will kill you if you are over 3 feet tall.
AND even if you make it past them, you still have to get past the trolls.
THEN if you make it past them you will explode because you will be in the middle of a giant gravity-o-sphere that will pull you in all directions at the same time; therefore, exploding you.
Well, you wouldn't make it far! If you do ever get to the middle of the earth, you would be sitting there with dirt all around you. And it would all close around you and then you would have to dig yourself out pretty fast before the midgets caught you.
I think that you would be floating up. Or, maybe you would be sitting there in the middle of a Chinese street with those (ahem) Chinese walking around you! If I ever got into that situation, well, I would make sure I had a super-duper-machine
-gun with me. then I would drop right through the hole I came out of and start going back down. And if I ran into some midgets like yum-yum's friend said, I would use my super-duper-machine-gun on them!
Then I would continue my journey. When I finally would reach my house, I would become famous for being the first person to go through the earth and return safely! Just make sure you have your super-duper-machine-gun with you, and you should make it back alive. When I became famous, I would make a lot of money. Then, I would go back with a whole group of hired adventurests and pay them with Starbucks. We would live off of Starbucks. Wouldn't that be awesome? I think it is time to stop dreaming now. Good bye.

Is there such a thing as high on coffee? Cause i think peg is :)
I am very much high on coffee...Norma and I have been planning a coffee shop for when we grow up, if we ever do. Comet Ram (Star-bucks, you know?)it will be! But, seriously, don't you think it would be just LUSCIOUS to live off of coffee? Just think about it. Wouldn't it? BTW, I will not run out of money to buy it because of my journeys to the center of the earth. remember? I'm going to get rich!!
Ever so sincerely,
Peg
I don't remember. :(
Don't remember what? I'm forgetting in my old age.
