Farting and Pooping

Sooo... For those who don't know yet, we have a new baby in the family. She's an adorable black and brown Chihuahua :-)

Well, the other day we somehow managed to overfeed her... And her belly was about twice the size it normally is. I was a little worried, I'll admit, but after her pooping a few times, we gave her a bunch of water and put her to sleep.

The next morning, she was normal sized again - she must have been farting all night!

And the moral of the story is... If you stomach is ever twice as big as it should be, poop and fart it all away :-P

Gurtner's Theory

Recently, I was asked an interesting question:

"If you would be able to dig a straight tunnel from here (San Diego) to someplace in China, and there wouldn't be any of that magma etc. that they say is on the inside of the earth, and if you were to jump down into that tunnel, would you come out the other side?"

My theory is that no, you wouldn't come out the other side, but rather get stuck in the middle, since that's where the gravitational force on the earth would be the strongest. You couln't "fall" out the other side, since gravity would be pulling you right back into the tunnel.
