According to this site, if I were to begin digging on the lawn of GULC, and dug and dug and dug for a very long time, and eventually popped up on the other side of Earth, I would find myself a bit West of Australia, in the Southernmost part of the Indian Ocean. The hole would fill up with water, destroying infinite years of work, and probably pissing me off quite a bit. The site has therefore proved invaluable, as I now know that I should start my digging somewhere far off the Northeast coast of Florida if I eventually want to pop up in a women's locker room somewhere in Australia. And I do.
Once I'm there, I'll give you directions using Wayfaring.com, an amazingly useful Google Maps hack that Google will probably buy because it's so cool. Thanks to Amanda for the links.

If I dug from my apartment in dirty jersey, I'd come out in Antartica. That sucks. But I do like penguins.

I had seen that sex offender variant before, but I didn't realize it would show their mug shot and info when you clicked on them...
Meet my new neighbor next year:

I think registration of sexual offenders is such a heinous violation of their rights. In fact, I think I'm gonna do a post about that.
