HI TAFT. HOW ARE YOU? I've seen the Atlantic many times, the Pacific 3 or 4 times, so I'll go with Indian.

The Pacific Ocean has Easter Island, therefore it wins.

BTW, I never heard of the Southern Ocean. I was taught in school four oceans and never heard it mentioned outside of school either.

The Gulf of Mexico is my favorite large body of water, but of the Oceans, the Atlantic is tops for me. Of course I've only been to the Atlantic and Pacific, so my range of experience of is limited. The Pacific is too cold. :cold:

The Southern Ocean is a term long used by mariners and recognized as an "unofficial" ocean, but it wasn't officially declared an ocean until 2000, when the International Hydrographic Organization finally gave it its blessing. As late as the 1930s, it was generally recognized as a distinct ocean, but throughout the rest of the centory the distinction disappeared. It's once again recognized of an ocean of its own.

I imagine tomorrow's school graduates will be more familiar with the term than most of those from our generation.

Screw them with them subtracting planets in the solar system and adding oceans.

"The Southern Ocean is another name for what have traditionally been considered to be the southernmost portions of the Pacific, Atlantic and Indian Oceans. It is the fourth largest of the five principal ocean divisions and the latest to be defined, having been accepted by a decision of the International Hydrographic Organization (IHO) in 2000, though the term has long been traditional among mariners. The Southern Ocean had been included in IHO's Limits of Oceans and Seas second edition (1937), then dropped from the third edition (1957), only to be reinstated in the fourth edition (which has yet to be formally promulgated due to a number of unresolved disputes). "

Screw them.

Pluto should have never been declared a planet in the first place. That decision was LONG overdue.

Taft Jr. was ahead of the curve. I told him when he was first learning the planets that Pluto is a planet*.

I win! :yay:

I like the Gulf of Mexico because there's a giant spaceship down there that will reactivate on 4 Ahau, 3 Kankin and destroy the world.d
