Drilling into hell!
 
:

These details are from the translation of an article in a Finnish newspaper named 'Ammennusatia'.

A geological group who drilled a hole about 14.4 kilometers deep in the crust of the earth are saying that they heard human screams. Screams have been heard from the condemned souls from earth's deepest hole. Terrified scientists are afraid they have let loose the evil powers of hell up to the earth's surface.

'The information we are gathering is so surprising, that we are sincerely afraid of what we might find down there,' stated Dr Azzacov, the manager of the project in remote Siberia.

'The second surprise was the high temperature they discovered in the earth's center. 'The calculations indicate the given temperature was about 1,100 degrees Celsius, or over 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit,' Azzacov pointed out. 'This is far more then we expected. It seems almost like an inferno of fire is brutally going on in the center of the earth.

'The last discovery was nevertheless the most shocking to our ears, so much so that the scientists are afraid to continue the project. We tried to listen to the earth's movements at certain intervals with supersensitive microphones, which were let down through the hole. What we heard turned those logically thinking scientists into a trembling ruins. It was a sometimes a weak, but high pitched sound which we thought to be coming from our own equipment,' explained Dr Azzacov.

'But after some adjustments we comprehended that indeed the sound came from the earth's interior. We could hardly believe our own ears. We heard a human voice, screaming in pain. Even though one voice was discernible, we could hear thousands, perhaps millions, in the background, of suffering souls screaming. After this ghastly discovery, about half of the scientists quit because of fear. Hopefully, that which is down there will stay there,' Dr Azzacov added.

'What really unnerved the Soviets, apart from the voice recordings, was the appearance that same night of a fountainhead of luminous gas shooting up from the drill site, and out of the midst of this incandescent cloud pillar a brilliant being with bat wings revealed itself with the words (in Russian): 'I have conquered,' emblazoned against the dark Siberian sky.

'The incident was absolutely unreal; the Soviets cried out in terror,' says Mr. Nummedal. Later that night, he saw ambulance crews circulating in the community. A driver he knew told him that they had been told to sedate everybody with a medication known to erase short term memory. The Soviets use this drug in the treatment of shock victims.

Thoughts?

My first thought is: Releasing all that heat from Hell is only going to speed up global warming.

My second thought is: Surely it’s hot inside the Earth anyway, upwards of thousands of degrees Celcius. Man I wish I had a non-shit Internet connection so I could easily find out the figures.

My third thought is: The interior of the Earth is in constant motion, and the high-gradient temperature and pressure difference introduced by drilling from the surface is only going to increase the unfamiliar sound at these depths. This sounds like it’s just an audio simulacrum.

My fourth thought is: You haven’t provided a source for this quote. Negrep for pubchat citation rigour.

That's his source, unless that too is part of the quote.

It does sound a bit, over the top.

Wil 07-15-2009 04:52 AM

What translation? Where was the translation published? And has anyone tried Googling ‘Ammennusatia’? The only results are for comments about this urban legend.

You don’t need to consider the purported story, five seconds of investigating the source reveals this to be tosh.

But it’s a nice story, apart from the bat creature bullshit. It could almost be something firmly rooted in fact, and just spread by believers in a subterranean Hell. But the bat creature rubbish ruins it.

I was thinking the same thing, the creature part was a real dissapointment. i was enjoying the story until then.

Havoc 07-15-2009 05:52 AM

What the hell? Drilling a hole of 14 KM's deep, is that even possible or ever been done?

This has to be the worst piece of religious propaganda I've ever seen XD.

Nate 07-15-2009 05:59 AM

If I were writing such a hoax, I would have been far more subtle. I would have started talking about how scientists drilling a hole have made an unexpected discovery. Then I would have reported high pitched wailing sounds, but in such a way as to keep it vague yet threatening. Finally, I would have said that the shaken scientists were cautiously proceeding - written in such a way as to make them sound foolhardy for continuing such a clearly dangerous project.

That bat shit is batshit insane. No-one's going believe that shit. Bat.

OANST 07-15-2009 06:18 AM

Oh my god. Wicca is real!

shaman 07-15-2009 07:14 AM

Never encountered a Wiccan ideology saying anything about screaming magma chambers....

OANST 07-15-2009 07:16 AM

But now it's proven!

You must be very pleased with yourself, you smug bastard.

shaman 07-15-2009 07:23 AM

I am quite happy...

MA 07-15-2009 09:42 AM

thank fuck for that. i did panic when i read about the screams though.

i'm not much of a sinner, i'm not sure if drinking is considered a sin.

OANST 07-15-2009 10:07 AM

Your body is a motherfucking temple........motherfucker.

MA 07-15-2009 10:24 AM

my body is more like the local down the road; stained, full of useless shit and has a rather damp smell about it.

Wings of Fire 07-15-2009 10:33 AM

Is it entered frequently by farmers?

MA 07-15-2009 10:36 AM

Wings of Fire 07-15-2009 11:13 AM

I was referring to your body being an alternate to cows for local farmers, not your poxy pub.

MA 07-15-2009 11:19 AM

i tried to mix the two together, but failed.

Wings of Fire 07-15-2009 11:25 AM

That's just disturbing in context.

Anonyman! 07-15-2009 12:10 PM

Could it have been the gas rushing up? You know, like the noise steam makes?

Of course, I have no fucking idea.

joshkrz 07-15-2009 12:12 PM

Apparently this is what it sounds like, but it does sound quite fake, but still kinda wierd.

Wings of Fire 07-15-2009 12:57 PM

Your house is built on an ancient Wiccan burial ground?
