4. I had no appreciation

of how far below sea level the surface to the Dead Sea lies.



Its surface and shores are 423 metres (1,388 ft) below sea level, Earth's lowest elevation on land.

Randall is a master of visualization.

And when you gaze long into an abyss the abyss also gazes into you...

5. David Bowie and Freddy Mercury?

Is anyone else hearing a whooshing sound?

8. Just a little deeper and we might have seen Dick Cheney's secret lair.

What am I thinking? It would be a lot, lot deeper.

9. What's up with that note at the bottom of challenger deep that mentions a secret door there?...

...Or is this chart just a cartoon?

10. It's a little tongue in cheek humor.

It's a reference to the tv show 'Lost'.

Just a cute pop culture reference, along with the David Bowie/Freddie Mercury one.
