    This diagram is confusing to me.

    It is interesting that there is relatively little overlap. Most land has water on the opposite side of the earth.


    I wonder if there is a reason for that or if it is just coincidence.

    I dug a hole in my back yard when I was a child in Arizona, and stopped when I hit water.


    You can imagine how freaky that would be for a 7 year old.


    Now I find out that water is on the other side. By my calculations, the earth is 8 feet deep.

    @Annalee Newitz: Why yes Annalee, Trolls often live under ground! You'd probably pass some on your way to China.


    China btw, is where you always end up when you dig through the ground... this map is bullshit.
