If You Want To Dig Through The Earth To Get To China, You’d Better Start In?

If You Want To Dig Through The Earth To Get To China, You’d Better Start In?: "Although the trope of “digging to China” was a common one in mid-20th century Western cartoons like those produced by Warner Brothers, and many a parent has joked that their child, furiously digging in the sand box, was working on digging their way to China, it turns out digging your way through the Earth (if such a feat were possible) from anywhere in, say, North America, doesn’t get you anywhere near China. In fact, you’d end up in the ocean off the coast of Australia."
