I can't see that tiny shit.

[_bruce_]

Way deeper than Debussey's asshole...

Click on the link dumbass

[dan18]

wow you are a plethora of knowledge

[powerpack]

That is where they dumped the Deceptacons

[Fury]

The Illuminati have placed a hyperspace gate at the bottom of it.

I thought it was the Queen

Click on some sarcasm dumbass. 

[Fury]

I thought she was a Reptilian and head of the Illuminati? I'll be honest, I'm not exactly up to date on the NWO hyperspace gate scheme.

I am also struggling to keep up on who is running the NWO, who is crashing planets into each other, who is collapsing the economy and which terrorist states are the good guys.
So confusing ...............

If they dropped a measuring device down there, something akin to a deep sea satellite, how long would it take to reach the bottom?

There has been three known expeditions there, one in a manned submersible in 1960 and also in a remotely operated underwater craft in 1995 and 2009 , the deepesst point called Challenger Deep goes down 36,000 feet (11,000 metres) and there is life there, as observed by the two men who went that far in 1960 (in a specially designed diving craft) the descent was aproximately 3 hours 15 minutes. The two men spent 20 minutes at the bottom of the ocean, they had to leave abruptly because the pressure cracked their viewport and they were concerned about having a hull breach...at that depth a breached hull would have squished the craft into something resembling a basketball

[ToxicAvenger]

if i took shit in the marianis trench how long would it take to float to the bottom...?

Haha!

3 hours 15 minutes.

[Captain Equipoise]

3 hours 15 minutes.

Actually what I posted above was slightly off, I just rechecked, the actual time was:

The descent to the ocean floor took 4 hours and 48 minutes at a descent rate of 0.914 m/s[1]..[2] After passing 9,000 metres one of the outer Plexiglas window panes cracked, shaking the entire vessel

I used to command this deep sea submersible with a crew, mostly for mining and stuff. Then this one time, a submarine containing nuclear missiles had an accident and sunk near the spot. So me and my crew had to take a bunch of navy seals down there to investigate. But the guy in charge went nuts, which became a much bigger problem when we discovered an alien species existing down in the nearby trench, who were technologically advanced enough to control water in ways we can't imagine. Between that and the nutcase and my neurotic, soon-to-be-ex-wife who was a nagging bitch, I nearly lost my life, although thankfully, it all ended happily, with humanity learning a thing or 2 in the process.

True story folks.

I'll never understand why they make these things with Plexiglas in them - they should know better than this.

At the time of the expedition plexiglass was the only known material that would withstand the insane pressure at 11,000 metres... this is an exerpt on why they used plexiglass:

"Observation of the sea outside the craft was conducted directly by eye, via a single highly-tapered cone-shaped block of acrylic glass (Plexiglas), the only transparent substance identified which would withstand the needed pressures, at the design hull thickness. Outside illumination for the craft was provided by quartz arc-light bulbs, which proved to be able to withstand the over-1000 atmosphere pressure without any modification."

"To withstand the high pressure of 1.25 metric tons per cm² (110 MPa) at the bottom of Challenger Deep, the sphere's walls were 12.7 centimetres (5.0 in) thick"

Keep in mind this was 1960..now we have better suited materials that can withstand such pressure.
