Walking In Wuhan

When visiting my grandparents in Denver as a wee lad, I would often break out a small spade and start attacking their flower beds. They had a four foot by eight foot flower bed that I would often dig in in lieu of a sandbox. As a four-year-old my grandpa had me convinced that eventually I would hit China if I kept digging. After a year of living in Wuhan, I eventually deduced that hitting China from a flower bed in Denver would be highly unlikely. With this handy map, I finally confirmed that had I actually dug through the center of the Earth, I would have been disappointed when I came out the other side.
