Find the exact opposite side of the earth from your location

Have you ever wondered if you stood in front of where you live and could dig a hole straight down through to the other side of the earth, where you would climb out if you jumped in it? I came across a really fun website - it's Antipode Finder. An antipode of any spot on Earth is the point on Earth's surface diametrically opposite to it. A pair of points antipodal to each other are situated such that a straight line connecting the two would pass through Earth's center.

Check it out and type in your location. And, hopefully, you'll not come out in the ocean somewhere!
