You just knew I couldn't keep away from this thread didn't you?

  • Why are buildings called 'buildings' when they are finsihed?
  • Why are apartments called 'apartments' when they are joined together?
  • Why is a jumper called a 'jumper' - when it can't jump?
  • Why is a milk float called a 'float' when it can't?
  • How 'friendly' is friendly fire?

right, I'm bored now...

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.
or put in lay persons terms.... you're going to die, die, die:p

Doesn't gravity pull towards the core anyway, so you'd never travel back 'up' once you'd fell down ;).
Unless like Skeet said, yeah if you made such a huuge hole and disrupted the core, then gravity'd be disrupted & you prob would not be falling anywhere, but floating. Issat right?

Cookie, in promulgating your esoteric cogitations, or articulating your superficial sentimentalities and amicable, philosophical or psychological observations, beware of platitudinous ponderosity. Let your conversational communications possess a clarified conciseness, a compacted comprehensibleness, coalescent consistency, and a concatenated cogency. Eschew all conglomerations of flatulent garrulity, jejune babblement, and asinine affectations. Let your extemporaneous descantings and unpremeditated expatiations have intelligibility and veracious vivacity, without rodomontade or thrasonical bombast. Sedulously avoid all polysyllabic profundity, pompous prolixity, psittaceous vacuity ventriloquial verbosity, and vaniloquent vapidity. Shun double-entendres, prurient jocosity, and pestiferous profanity, obscurant or apparent!!!

WTF?

.....the tooling necessary to do the job was already available and being used to produce pharmaceutical products (I seem to remember bath oil balls)...
Does that mean if I pop down to the body shop, buy a few cases of bath oil balls, dish them out to my teamates and opposition and then start playing in a downpour we could get a foam party going???? :D
