About Pacific

The Pacific Ocean is the largest and deepest of Earth's five oceanic divisions. It stretches from the Arctic Ocean in the north to the Southern Ocean, or, depending on the definition, to Antarctica in the south, and is bounded by the continents of Asia and Australia in the west and the Americas in the east.

There's one, beneath Africa and there's one under the Pacific and that's obviously a very technical name for them and they're not very well known about they're not very well researched because they are where the mantle of the earth meets the core of the earth so the earth goes crust.

Other times Pacific came up

  1. He was a meteorologist and he decided to name storms to make them more memorable. He named them largely after politicians so that he was able to say the name of a politician he didn't like and then follow that with things like causing great distress. You know, you say David Cameron is causing great distress on the coast of Cornwall and, you know, George Osborne is wandering aimlessly about the Pacific. Michael Gove is blowing people all over the place.

  2. Wow. I mean, it's just a story, I guess, but it's quite an amusing story. I think quite a lot of Pacific cultures have origin myths, which have parts of the body in them, slightly different to the ones that we might have. In Hawaiian culture, there's a goddess called Kohekohelele, whose name translates as Kapo with a traveling vagina. There is a crater on Oahu, which is named after her vulva.

  3. You know, he'd say David Cameron is causing great distress on the coast of Cornwall and you know George Osborne is wondering aimlessly about the Pacific Michael Gove is blowing people all over the place so they named storms only after women for a long time yeah and that was thought to be very misogynistic because the idea was the people who did it was in the.
