Whatevs. Is Pluto a planet or not?

Yes. Once a planet, always a planet. Or something like that.

The southern ocean has been around since I was at least in middle school.

I thought this was already in place the last few years?

I agree with Harry Caray, my favorite planet is the sun.

I'm still gathering signatures to get the Salton Sea designated as an ocean before it completely evaporates.

Hard not to stare right at it though.

Never had heard of that. Very interesting. Man made verson of the Aral Sea.

Man…good call. He might actually be the 2nd ocean or 1b, just behind the Pacific. He definitely has the Atlantic dominated.

The history of the Salton Sea is pretty fascinating, including it being quite a resort back in the day and attracted it's share of celebrities. Now it's, well, not that.

Ever since Whale Wars started.

Why wouldnt they call it the antarctic ocean if we already have the arctic?

That would be too logical.
