haha. I love this old Phil Hartman SNL skit. sooo funny. haha.
Kirk Douglas's character: Wow, we're going 20,000 leagues under the sea? man that's pretty deep
Captain Nero: No, leagues is a measure of distance, not depth, we're travelling 2 and a half times around the earth.
KD: right, but we're gonna be 20,000 leagues deep?
CN: you fool, if we went 20,000 leagues down, we'd go through the center of the earth and come out the other side!
KD: OK, so we're going 20,000 leagues under the sea, through the center of the earth? WOW.
