Circumvent
I've always wanted to do this, to drill a hole through earth and jump in, but have you price those machines lately! Sheesh!
This comic will be updated as I get less sick.

I, too, am coming down with an illness. We can make it, Jeffrey, don't give up!
Well actually (Professor Frink accent), if you built a tube straight through the center of the earth so that it was insulated and held a constant temperature (for the sake of actually living through it), and came out of the opposite side of the planet, you would not actually make it quite to the other side. Drag would decrease your momentum and you would be yoyo slowly ceasing to move, until you are suspended at the center, the gravitational pull of the earths mass keeping you in balance. It would be a great thrill sport, that's for sure. Only one person can go at a time.
feel better!
Hm.. reanimated Fluffy and Joanna share more than a passing resemblance. Coincidence?
Hey, by sheer coincidence my wife and I started a comic about an emotional horse at about the same time that you released your latest shirt. Is it okay with you if we make your emo horse shirt the quasi-official shirt of our comic? We'd link to it in your store, and you'd take all the orders and keep all the money. Whaddya think?
Hope youse feel better!!!
Matt that sounds OK to me! If we get some referrals I'll send you a free shirt or something maybe.
Man the core is wicked fun!
I'll take that as tacit approval to plug our comic about clinically depressed barnyard animals, Horace and Friends. So far we only have a total of about 12 readers, so I doubt we'll send you enough referrals to warrant a free shirt. By the way, thanks for writing great comics!
comrade brad is correct. Whatever was left of you would return to the mouth of the hole that you jumped into every 88 minutes or so.
That's assuming that you don't bump into the wall and that your mass stays nearly constant despite the charring.
I just hope you drilled your hole so that it hits a landmass on the other side. otherwise you will get wet. And also there will probably be catastrophic tidal waves.
Hey Jeffrey I hope you feel better. I am looking at this in internet explorer and it is making me feel crappy. There is some weird crap on TV and my housemate thinks she is a character in an episode of 24. So everything is normal here.
When I was a lad I attempted to dig such a hole...the issue that arose was not so much the jumping into the hole as it was the getting out of it. Also, shovelling dirt is hard work for a nine-year-old with asthma.
Congratulations are in order to everyone here who apparently also took physics in high school. Except krin, who just makes no sense.
Anyway to me this comic is basically the ultimate example of OC fantas-hilarity.
Krin,
you are correct. I forgot the pressure differences. Maybe a fictional tube of constant pressure...
Actually what would happen is volcanic eruptions through both side of the earth. So you wouldn't get in the hole.. At all..
That was on, Saturday, when I was getting my tires replaced, and my alignment corrected.
It was definately a good free time waster. As opposed to the $223 time-necessitator that was changing my tires, and having my alignment corrected.
Definately glad I didn't pay to see it.
wonder where you'd end up?
