Something thats been bugging me.

First off, I want to say that this "situation" is completely IMPOSSIBLE to go through with. But lets pretend for a moment that it is actually possible.

Let's say there is a circular hole that goes all the way through the Earth's ground, the core etc. and out the other side. If you happen to jump in that hole.....lets ignore the fact you would obviously die. Lets also try to ignore the rotation of Earth and it's core. If you jumped in that hole, wouldn't you come out the other side upside down?

It may sound very silly, but think about it. Also, I'm by no means some type of scientific genius. There may be something I'm not aware that completely prevents such a thing from happening.

Assuming both points were at equal height (distance from the core), no.

The aspect that gravity plays is quite hard to explain at this time of night and with this blood-alcohol level, but it's not wholly relevant since air resistance and the resultant loss of energy means you wouldn't be able to exit at the same height as you entered - same as a swinging object loses height every swing (eventually diminishing to nothing).
