Oh dear lord. Be sure to check out the itinerary (about 2/3 of the way down.) Great find.

You know, there are days when I regret not being either 1) independently wealthy or 2) single so that nobody's depending on me but me. This is one of those days. I'd love to go and people-watch for the entire time.

He should plan an excursion with these people next.

Well, I'm glad that the lost tribe of Israel thought it was a good idea to trek to the coldest place on Earth and build a monorail. [this is good]

Isn't this where Matt is going?

Well technically, they're not going to the centre, but to the inside surface of the hollow sphere. [nice find, cedar]

Bloody furriners: >Jan Lamprecht (name pronounced "Yawn") of South Africa Jan is pronounced "Yun", not "Yawn". Actually, a more accurate pronunciation would probably be "absolute twit".

And with what are they going to pay for the monorail tickets? I assume the inner-earthians don't accept US currency or Euros. I would love it if a whole boat of rich flaky tourists got imprisoned for vagrancy.

I'm sure there's a perfectly logical reason why a gigantic hole in the OCEAN, 90 miles in diameter, hasn't drained all our water and drowned the Jehuians, but I'm just not seeing it.

"Activities on this trip: river rafting and spa" (scroll down to Upcoming Trips schedule)... I guess discovering a giant hole in the ocean and meeting the Lost Tribe of Israel isn't enough of a draw.

Maybe they'll find Spaulding Gray hiding down there, working on his latest monologue.

I can think of a few people I'd like to send to the center of the Earth. If you give this outfit an extra fifty bucks can they arrange for someone to miss the last monorail out of Hollow Earth? $19,000? A bargain.

It is when I read ideas like this that I curse my limited imagination. US$20000 per person for a walk-about on polar ice? With no guarantees of anything interesting happening? Why can't I think of scams like that?
