Map Tunneling Tool: Where Would You End Up?

September 15, 2008 in Uncategorized with 2 Comments

Imagine, I used to believe that if I dug a tunnel in my backyard, I could somehow reach China. Oh, foolish, young, naive 17-year-old 5-year-old Eric… if only you had this Google Map Tunneling tool. You would have known better.

The site is simple. Pick your location on the left, and the map on the right shows you where your tunnel would take you. Us Philadelphians would end up somewhere in the Atlantic Indian Ocean, off the coast of Australia. Hope you’re all good swimmers!

The people in Spain have it made. Dig a hole in Madrid, you’ll end up in New Zealand. Consider me jealous.

Check it out!

About Eric: Eric spends most of his time writing, taking pictures, reading, and hanging out with his (somewhat famous) chinchilla Mittens and bunny Rory. He teaches writing and literature at some local Philadelphia colleges and works in publishing. He knows absolutely nothing about sports, and is proud of it.
