| Banned  | Post; dig a hole to chinaThere is an informal and anecdotal belief among Americans (and many others!) that if you dig a hole deep enough, eventually you would come out in China. This is theoretically possible if the hole is angled in the right way, but if you dig straight down and through the exact center of the earth from anywhere in the 48 contiguous United States, you'd come out in the Indian Ocean. Only in parts of Argentina or Chile would a straight hole emerge in China  |

| No Chance Outside | I saw a Daffy Duck cartoon where he got smashed through the earth and came out of China. Also some advertisement about some guy who goes down into a trap door and ends up coming out in an Australian party and of course the camera's upside down. These aren't meant to be educational  |
