Cussedness

Antipodal Google Map

This is a pleasing little Google Maps hack.

I remember once arguing heatedly with someone who refused to believe that you’d actually be closer to New Zealand, rather than the canonically accepted Australia, if you dug a hole straight down from the UK. In the pre-intertube dark ages I had no way of proving how utterly wrong this gentleman was, because pointing it out on a globe was insufficiently convincing to the intellectual titan against whom my I had pitted my topographical acumen. But now, thanks to Google and this handy little tool, I am vindicated, and shall no longer heed the sneering disbelief of Craig Thingy from Mr Deakin’s class, the dopy little toerag.
