Some facts on how big the Earth is...

If Earth were the size of a basketball:

-All the water in all the world’s oceans would amount to just two teaspoons.

-A very fine, very short length of human hair could lay on its side and fill the Grand Canyon to the rim.

-A tiny bead the size of the period at the end of this sentence could not be completely submerged in this sea. Even if it rested on the seafloor in the Mariana Trench, the deepest spot anywhere in the ocean, less than half of the bead would be underwater.

With that now in prospective, the deepest oil well is about 12,000 meters deep (38,000 ft., 7.2 miles), and the Earth has a diameter of about 12,750 km (7925 mi.) at the equator. So the deepest well that we have ever drilled went all of 1 PERCENT into the crust of the earth. I know no more than that, but if I had to guess, the other 99 percent of the depth that we haven't gotten to yet probably has some black crud laying in it. Now there is the core and magma in there that we can't really use, but we have had contact with VERY LITTLE of our planet. My 2 cents.

Today's Featured Article - Field Modifications (Sins of the Farmer) - by Staff. Picture a new Chevrolet driving down the street without it's grill, right fender and trunk lid. Imagine a crude hole made in the hood to accommodate a new taller air cleaner, the fender wells cut away to make way for larger tires, and half of a sliding glass door used to replace the windshield. Top that off with an old set of '36 Ford headlight shells bolted to the hood. Pretty unlikely for a car... but for a tractor, this is pretty normal. It seems that more often than not they a ...
