Hmm....well..various factors to consider here.

Firstly...if a hole, large enough for you to fall down, and not bump teh sides...is a fairly wide hole...consider that this is borred directly through teh earth...now consider, that the earths core, is liquid iron...this would obviously...be affected, by teh hole...and I imagine...would leak...which would disrupt its flow...and hence, earths rotation...which would mean...taht while you fell through this hole....enjoying every minute of it, and never realiseing that you are going up...because you never would be...teh people on teh outside of teh world...including those special individuals, who have lived their lives upside down...would now realise that gravity is a good thing..as they gradually started to find themselves becoming lighter and ultimately floating away...that is of course, if the major environmental changes, happening all around them, didnt distract their attention...
Another factor, that you overlooked...is the fact that despite, your super heat proof suit...you would infact have limited oxygen, and would most likely be breathing dust and sulphur gasses for most of your journey...

These things considered...I would suggest, not only that you would never realise that you were traveling upwards, as it would never happen...even if you survived teh fall...but, if you did...consider that it is a very irresponsible thing to do.

teh

wikipedia on skeetisms

teh
"Teh" is a misspelling of "the", originating from a common typing mishap. It is one of the words in the auto-correct lists of spellcheckers in popular word processing applications, such as Microsoft Word, OpenOffice.org Writer, Apple Pages, or Corel WordPerfect. It happens primarily for some, because the T and E are typed by the left hand on adjacent fingers in QWERTY, while the H is typed by the right, and in rapid typing, the T and E are often typed by the left hand in a drumming motion before the right can get the H in between the two. Conversely, overcompensating with the right hand can result in the misspelling "hte", which is also found in auto-corrects.

In the online slang known as Leet, it is deliberately used in place of the, and occasionally spelled t3h with a numeral 3 in place of e. Teh and t3h are the traditional spellings of "the" in the phrase "ph33r t3h ..." or "ph34r t3h ..." ("Fear the ...").

Besides being an alternate spelling of the, "teh" also has grammatical properties not generally applied to "the"; in general, it is used somewhat like an intensified "the". It can be used with proper names, as in "teh John"; compare the usage of the definite article in Greek: ο Ιωαννης (o loannes), literally "the John". A similar usage comes from colloquial German, where the definite article is used as a specifier to modify the noun: "Der Johann", again literally, "the John", could be used to identify John, and not Paul, as the subject performing a certain action. In Latin, the similar word ille and its declensions, which was at first an intensified article usually translated as "that", is the source of the derivations of the simple word for "the" and the personal pronouns (he, etc.) in the languages derived from Latin.

Furthermore, "teh" is sometimes used in front of a verb in a novel form of gerund. The best-known example of this is the word "suck". Thus, the phrase "this sucks" can be converted into "this is teh suck"; the word "pwn" can be similarly converted ("teh pwn"). Another common variation is "teh ghey". These phrases can be declinated further, such as "teh sux0rz", or "teh pwnage", yet another evolution of this lingual phenomenon. The above phrases are primarily used by the computer gaming community, and often intended humorously.

In English, the can be used as an intensifier for the superlative form of adjectives; compare "that is best" and "that is the best". "Teh" has a similar use as an intensifier for unmodified adjectives, generally marking a sarcastic tone. For example, "that is teh lame" translates as "that is the lamest". This is similar to the use of the definite article lo in Spanish. For example, "Soy lo mejor" (I am the best) and "I am teh good". This contrasts with the use of the in English to construct mass nouns from adjectives, as in "blessed are the meek", where the meek denotes a class of people who are meek, or perhaps teh humble.

In addition, "teh" is often used to express extreme emotion by a typer, especially in the case of "what teh ****??" which has been shortened (both in speech and online) to "teh ****?"

The widespread popularity of purposely using "teh" on Internet forums and other forms of communication was popularized by the fictitious character Jeff K., of the humor website Something Awful, who often misspelled words on his homepage in a parody of a certain stereotype of Internet user.

Why did Kamikaze pilots wear helmets??
When you blow in a dog's face it gets mad, however stick the same dog in a car at 40+ mph and it will stick its head out of the window??

The radio is in the helmet
you'd be mad if i blow up your nose
you open the window in the car for fresh air, its not the same as someone blowing up your nose with smelly breath.
hope this helps;)

.now consider, that the earths core, is liquid iron.
Actually there are a couple of theories that the earths core might be pure uranium (due to it being the heaviest natural element) and that this mass of uranium in aconstant nuclear reaction would explain the heat produced by the earth ,currently assumed to be made from all the elements being crushed and ruvbbed togethor creating heat, much more nicely. So if this is the case you would die as soon as you went near the hole due to the MASSIVE amount of radiation getting beamed up through the hole. Plus all the penguins and polar bears would hate you.

.....sounds like a definitive work of science to me anyway ....... :)

..anyway, I remember being told the reason we have .68 calibre is because at the time Paintball (as a proposed game) was being developed, the tooling necessary to do the job was already available and being used to produce pharmaceutical products (I seem to remember bath oil balls).
And so, it wasn't so much a reasoned process that we ended up with .68 as just using what was available at the time to cut down on new tooling costs.

well i feel enlightened by the knowledge of the skeet!:D


heres one,

clouds are very big, and can be miles wide, yet they do not fall out of the sky, why is this skeet?:confused:

Clouds are made of water vapour, which is water evaporated from the earth, which, being warm and therefore less dense than cold air, rises.
When the conditions are right (ie gets colder up there, etc), the water vapour condenses into droplets of water, and being more dense than the air, falls as rain, so really; they do fall out the sky eventually, but not all at once ;).
