Hey Dad ! Can I be the first to push a demonratcommieterroristscumbag down the hole, I wanna find out if they will scream all the way to H€££.
Lewis Carroll was a mathematician, so his was probably playing around with polar coordinates and linear algebra.
Mole men. Better get Clark.
The Clay people are our allies against Ming the Merciless!
That said I kind of liked Ming.
Well, his daughter especially!
This is where all of the “Great Society” money goes.
And burnt up at the bottom!
glad to see the hole is covered, because if Timmy ever got near it ...

Yikes!!!
Spherical triangles!!!!
Better call Wolfram.
The well starts with larger bits at the surface and they will run protective strings of casing as they go. So, probably the hole is about 24” wide at the surface and only 8” wide at the bottom. Incidentally, the deepest borehole in America is in Oklahoma. The Bertha Rogers #1. 31,440’.
“The temperatures are hotter than we expected.”
This is one reason I suspect that the location of Hell will be the Earth itself. I first ran across this notion in a letter written to the editor of Midnight Call magazine, dated November 2011, pp 43-44:
Dear Midnight Call,
I have always been of the opinion that “earth” will become the lake of fire. We know “the earth abideth forever” (Ecclesiastes 1:4), and the earth “should not be removed forever” (Psalm 104:5). So the earth must be eternal. In 2 Peter 3:10-12 we see the wood, hay and stubble of earth being burned up, but the elements melting (just as in the Christian life). The wood, hay and stubble are burned, but the gold, silver and precious stones (elements) come through the fire. All else will be destroyed because it has been touched by sin.
Now if the earth “abideth forever”, then the melted elements must combine with the magma and the earth becomes the lake of fire. Then the devil, the false prophet, death and hell are cast into the lake forever. A new heaven and new earth that has never been touched by sin will be the eternal home of those saved by the blood of our Lord Christ.
The earth can abide forever. The pure in heart will live in a new heaven or earth that has never been touched by sin. There will be a separation (great gulf) between the two, and so goes eternity. Or am I reading too much into these verses?
The following is the written response from Arno Froese, the editor of Midnight Call:
Thank you for the additional thoughts on the matter of the location of “hell”.
Scholars differ about the future of the earth, whether renovated, renewed, restored, or totally replaced. Reading the first verse of Revelation 21, we are confronted with something unearthly, “a new heaven and a new earth”. The first earth has passed away. Peter confirms, “we.. look for.. a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.” My understanding is that this new earth is like a born again person whose old “tabernacle” perishes at death. Also, it says “there was no more sea.” That means no biosphere - the old will cease to exist.
As to the physical location of the lake of fire, I have no answer and think yours is as good as mine.
Now, I will be the first to admit that the theory postulated in that letter about the LOF might be totally wrong, but it is really elegant, and it fits the Bible perfectly in that ‘oh-it-is-so-obvious-now’ head-slapping kind of way. It explains why Jesus was so oddly insistent that the Earth will soon pass away (and yet still exist), and it explains why Paradise will never be recreated on Earth even though that would seem to be the most logical ending to God’s story.
The most plausible way (IMHO) is with an asteroid impact that boils the crust away and the entire planet literally becomes the Lake of Fire. (The required size is smaller than you think - only 150 miles wide is enough to do it.)
Those greasy polidiot / presstitute SOB’s would go faster and catch fire before they got to the bottom ......
“Man, this well is hot!”
“Yeah, it’s deep too.”
350 degrees is too much for drilling equipment? Wow. Surprises me.
Somewhere in time from the kingdom of Ney
What do you call a Chinese restaurant in China?
No joke, “American”.
You don’t think of Rock Bottom, the Professor’s henchman in the Felix the Cat cartoons?
I was more of a Looney Tunes kid though I did like the bag of tricks concept and the theme song was catchy.
Well, if two people fell in together I guess that is enough time to become an official member of the "Seven-and-a-Half-Mile-Low Club."
IIRC, Rock Bottom ended every episode as the Professor’s latest plot was foiled with his standard lament, “What’s the use?”
That’s Nye, as in Nye County, NV. Largest, area-wise, county in the state.
Somebody help me, please. Their math seems off. 40,000 feet deep. A falling object moves 33’ per second. So it would take 1,212 seconds to reach bottom. Divided by 60 seconds per minute, works out to 20 minutes. Not 4 1/2 to 5 minutes. Where did I go wrong?
