    If the Earth becomes hollow just 9 miles down, I think we all better
    find a new planet to live on -- and fast.
    
    The screams of thousands of human souls, however, are certainly real. 
    Consider all those dissident Russians that Stalin and all them exiled 
    to Siberia?  Could this be a big underground cavern, in which all the
    "enemies of the state" were deposited long ago??  (After all, 9 miles 
    straight down is clearly within the sovereign boundaries of Soviet 
    territorial magma!)
    
    So relax folks.... This is merely part of Gorbachev's perestroika master
    plan.  He's just freeing all those political prisoners.  (Well done,
    Gorbie.)
    
    The devil made me say that ...  }:-)

    I agree with .1, that the drill exited into a DEC conference room; and
    doesn't this prove that the Earth is flat, and 9 miles thick.

    I once had an uncle who had a glass eye that spoke to him and said that
    not only is Hitler alive but he's a woman in Satnta Barbara selling
    Herbal Life. Want to lose weight, ask her how. It's true.

    This sounds like it could be the Siberian version of the "National
    Enquirer".   8^)

    I'd be astonished if people took this "report" seriously. 
    
    Mr. Kallis has a good point.  Sounds more like a symbolic report.
    
    not necessarily a real discovery of Hell. gimme a break!

    Now we know why Gorby met with the Pope!  He was trading a few
    souls for a tanker of holy water!!!

    Hi Steve,
    
    Did you really spend time in a cabin *in* a lake in New Hampshire?

    >Did you really spend time in a cabin *in* a lake in New Hampshire?
    
    Well, depends upon your definition of "in" and "lake."
    
    I might have been there at very low tide. ;-)

    Re  .9 and .10
    
    As a shore resident of Lake Winnipesaukee, I can categorically,
    unequivocally tell you that this lake HAS no tides  ... except
    during a full moon.  :-)
    
    Re  .2
    
    Visit in the spring!  You'll get your money's worth, once you hear them 
    hideous noises when the ice goes out in April.   It becomes a real 
    lake from hell.  ]8-)>

    First time I try this conference and then I have to read this !!!!!!
    I have to agree with former writers that the members of the expedition
    weren't very reliable. On the other 
    hand I have to drop the Digital conference room theory ; they would
    have heard the voices before drilling !
    Is that perestrojka now in the USSR, beginning to publish sensational
    stories........

    Steve,
    
    If you were *in* the lake and there was ice on it, then you probably
    heard your own groaning.....:-)

    re: .14 (Terry)
    
    That's it!  It never really happened - he just dreamed it.  And
    King Arthur came along and threw in Excalibur - that's why he
    was groaning! :-)

    Maybe they discovered some new sort of seashell - you know; 
    put it to your ear and you can hear it. (Although I never
    heard someone screaming in them)
    
    Was Lake Minnepesaukee (BTW does that really exist?) once part of
    a big, big ocean? If so, maybe he slept in/on/under/above(?) the lake
    with his ear on a seashell?
    
    Anyway, great sense of humor you Americans. I like the replies better
    than .0. You wouldn't read something like that in National Geographic,
    or do you?

    Yes, Lake Winnipesaukee really does exist.  It is in central New
    Hampshire, two hours north of Boston.  Lake Minnepesaukee really exists
    too, only that one's in Minnesota.
    
    Consider those hideous screams could have been caused by hungry loons. 
    Or else by Katherine Hepburn doing more loon imitations.  (I always
    knew On Golden Pond was a satanically inspired movie.)
    
    See ya,

    This proves I was right!!  At age 6 or 7 this was my philosophy on hell
    and heaven:
    
    If you dig down deep enough in the earth, you'll hit hell.
    
    The astronauts get to fly through heaven  (You know, first the clouds,
    then the stratosphere, ionosphere, heaven, THEN space).
