When I was about eight my brother and I were part of this summer day camp/field trip thing called Discover Columbus where we would go to different places in Columbus each day on a bus. Not a school bus but a COTA bus. One of our stops was the campus of Ohio State University where we got to eat lunch and play football at Ohio Stadium. On our walk to the stadium we stopped by this marker that our group leader told us lead straight to China. The whole ‘if you dig a whole right here you’ll end up in China‘ thing.  I bought that bullshit for a long time.

Fast forward about 13 years and I’m taking a Geology class at Ohio State and our professor gives us a tour of the campus and he points out the same marker. Not sure the signifigance but it definitly had nothing to do with China. So now I find this site that uses google maps to let you ‘dig a whole’ and see where it ends up. Needless to say digging a whole in Columbus, Ohio doesn’t get you even fucking close to China.
