If somebody stood on the north pole and dug straight down to the south pole would he come out upsidedown?

    No it depends on the perspective. If you put your finger through one side of an apple it would come out of the other end upside down. Unless you were looking at it from the fingers perspective. Because of the gravitational pull everything and everyone is pulled to the center of the earth although it is not possible for someone to dig that far if they were able to then when they came out on the surface they would be the right way up despite digging upside down on the opposite side of the planet

    But ... you can only dig down ... to the center of the earth. After that you would be ... digging up! Please, take enough clothes because the temperature will be very hot! ;-)
