- aggrazel, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9Just wait till they run into Krang and his Technodrome.
- stox, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Too late, we already did that in 1945.
- trogdoor, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1^^ Wow I didn't even realise that I wrote digg instead of dig it has just become a reflex I guess.
- Webjunkie, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1SHREDDER!!!!!!
- frontwing, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1jkfan87, Geothermal Power has been used successfully around the world (mostly Iceland and Costa Rica) for over 25 years. It is renewable, it's not entirely clean as the steam comes back contaminated and needs to be cleaned up, normally using catalyts that are chemically recharged. It's also damn expensive and the plants are fairly small scale, to date.
- hoffmack5000, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1pfft what are you talking about, of course they'll end up finding hell and we'll all die when satan rides the drill to earth
- PGvildys, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Sounds like the beginning of a disaster film where some guy is saying, "don't dig, you'll cause 'The Big One'" and some corporate/government/whoever guys saying, "Oh that's silly... why would we ever listen to you", and then they dig, and the earthquake happens, and the hero saves the day somehow.
- bede, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Anyone else thinking Crack in the World?
- akeong, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0hopefully no earthquake
- Flashman, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Nuclear bomb in hole. That should release some of that earthquake tension.
- brett.evans, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Going to see if it works!!!!
- clayasaurus, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0what if digging to far into the earth was enough to set off 'the big one'?
- OwlBoy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0dugg for the 'digg'
- ani-pockdotnet, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0with a BIG shovel
- andyatkinson, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0The digg pun was del.icio.us. You Yahoo!s should learn to appreciate a good pun when one is dun.
- dhughes, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0 There's supposed to be a 20,000 foot (not quite 4 miles) well near where I live (S.Eastern Canada), it was dug during WWII as an attempt to find oil.
- AllenS, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0i got a shovel if they need a hand
- WickedOwl, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0so did the poster.
- theone3, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Heh.. I was about to say..
- trogdoor, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I always knew that people were trying to digg a hole to China and they they are trying from the other end.
- Moose_Head, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Has anybody considered digging down as well as building up as a way to get more people living in one spot?
- loveandrockets, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Watch out for the C.H.U.D.s!
- alevel27mage, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0"Japanese To *Digg* 4.5 Miles Into Earth Surface"
Subconcious digging! Cheater :P - yukevster, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0" to collect the first samples of the Earth's mantle in human history."
It'll be on Ebay in no time....just wait 'n see it doesn't - mushoo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0*Waits for all the Christian Fundamentalist and their jumbo mumbo about the sounds from hell.*
- Danathar, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0NO!
Once they pierce the mantle it will let out the pressure and the earth will deflate! :( - yukevster, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I wrote 'Digg' on person. Sorry, I'm hopelessly in love with Digg.
- Kamatz, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Just Imagine how the earthquakes would feel 4.5 miles underground.
- Blizaine, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Drilling 4.5 miles down could cause "The Big One"
- kamizu, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1moose_head: "Has anybody considered digging down as well as building up as a way to get more people living in one spot?"
it's hard enough saving people from a fire in a tunnel. imagine a residential complex. i know there are some underground facilities as etruscan has mentioned, but to really go deep, like dozens of floors deep, i really doubt that will happen. i believe most underground places are fairly shallow, no more than a few floors.
ptknight: "the "digg" pun was unnecessary. Actually it was quite lame"
agreed
slipdisc: "dupie"
if you're not gonna post the older digg post, you just make yourself look like an ass.
as for my own comment: i just have the feeling that some tabloid is going to refer to this deep hole as the "anus" of the earth. thats just me... - etruscan, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0"Has anybody considered digging down as well as building up as a way to get more people living in one spot?"
It's something the Japanese excel at, and have been doing for a while now. I wouldn't expect it to stop any time soon either.
Silly morlocks. - Monkeyboi786, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Ever since digg, i've been spelling dig wrong. haha
- mushoo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0"pfft what are you talking about, of course they'll end up finding hell and we'll all die when satan rides the drill to earth"
Blasphemy! Everyone knows that satan is Cthulhu's little bitch. We're in the clear so long as they don't accidentaly find him, cuz you know he's resting somewhere in the Pacific Ocean. I don't think satan would be up for that. Come on the guy just wants to indulge in eartly pleasures. - Whomever, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0What are we going to do with the Balrog when they uncover it?
- yukevster, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0"ptknight: "the "digg" pun was unnecessary. Actually it was quite lame"

My God there are some real sour-pusses using DIGGG! - Bitgod, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Release the Fygars and Pookas!
>Anyone else thinking Crack in the World?
Mmm, see, that's what SciFi should be showing, old scifi movies, not crap. - joshuar, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0yeah, that's got disaster written all over it.
- nihilator, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Why stop at 4.5? Round up to a full 5 miles...wusses...
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0lol u rote digg insted of dig i do it to also i do bigg wigg pigg migg the list gos on
- ptknight, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1the "digg" pun was unnecessary. Actually it was quite lame
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Who knows, they might even end up in canada ;)
- dingledoink, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Watch; they'll cause the "Big One" by digging so deep!
- op12, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Dr. Evil would be proud. Mag-ma!
- highroller, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0yeah, like we could all have a huge quake for digging to deep
- foofooz, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Damn, they really do need to dig up Oak Island. Seriously, What the heck could be hidden there with all of the effort put into creating the hole and flood trap?
Crazy. I say they just creat giant slabs of concrete and slide them down to form a excavuation site.
Kinda like a old picture I've seen in National geographic where a group was excavating a ship in the Gulf of Mexico. - oldcyborg, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I am willing to bet that they are gonna be looking seriously at all the matter they go through, as they get down there. They don't have many obove ground resources left, and most of the coal and iron is gone too.. They need a new area to mine...And hollow out for huge cities, underground, so as to be safe from things that come from the sky.... That sentence was way too long..... :)
Keep an eye on this one. They never do anything for the reasons stated alone.....
