Every kid with a sandbox, a shovel and a little imagination has pondered digging a hole to China. Now, with this nifty Google Map tunneling tool, you can discover where your hole would actually end. From my place in Philadelphia? I’d pop up off the coast of Australia. And if I actually want to dig a hole from China (specifically, Wuhan), I’d be sipping a fine Malbec in Argentina’s Mendoza region. Not bad.
