just one more stupid question, and i gotta go.



Christmas is just over, and we asked this at work:

Provided a person was strong enough, slender enough, healthy, and had right equpment, would it be possible to go down a chimily "fireplace" and end up inside the house?

All depends on the chimney. Most modern chimneys are small, so people can�t fit into them. Also, the chimney usually has a gate or a �door� on it that you close when not in use.



Assuming that it is an open chimney, and it�s big enough for a person to enter, sure, it would actually be fairly easy. One could even do it without equipment. But, it would have to be built correctly.

Yes, but only if it doesn't have a damper.

Wow! Chimneys still exist? Well,if he's very slender & have butter himself all over,then he should'nt have a problem fitting in there,but then again,it depends on the chimney size & as long that no one start roasting chestnuts anytime soon.
