    Hairy Arse Bloke may have a few tips. Have you asked him?

      IF Ocean1$ > Ocean2$ THEN
          PRINT Ocean1$; " is bigger than "; Ocean2$; "."
      ELSEIF Ocean1$ = Ocean2$ THEN
          PRINT Ocean1$; " is the same size as "; Ocean2$; "."

    p.s. what happened to the gay thread?

    Why not go to Hull instead ?

I would take a bucket of water with me if I went to the Moon and pour it into a slightly less shady part of the crater and see if I could make a little river. I would prefer to use a whole ocean though

    The fact that the Moon has no water might offer a clue as to the correct answer

    They both have a greater surface area than the Moon, therefore I think we should flood the moon with one of them. This will also make available more land on Earth. Which ocean to use though?

    Obpuzzle, would evaporated moon ocean water fall as rain or escape into space? We might at least create some nice lunar lakes with fish and stuff in them?

    Using science™, I can see that the Pacific is a good couple of inches wider than the Atlantic.
