Hard to know if you are serious but... Actually the Pacific Ocean is the Earth's largest feature. It is roughly 1.5 times larger then the Atlantic Ocean. The Pacific is larger than all of the Earth's land mass combined That is why it was so funny that so many people could not find it. It is by far the largest thing on the map. -- ===== Chris Albertson Redondo Beach, California _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@febo.com To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
