Naw, manbearpig said it was "several million degrees".

Despite the fact that every resonable scientist says it's between 5000 and 8000 degrees F.

The reason it's still hot? My guess is because of extreme pressure/friction and a little nuke energy thrown in. Lots of radioactive stuff down there that is decaying.

I wonder what the R rating is for a couple thousand miles of rock?
