Best Answer

They are trying to throw another ocean us without anybody noticing. Don't worry I feel your pain; there will never be more than 4 oceans.

Edit to another persons answer:

Actually In 2000, the International Hydrographic Organization created the fifth and newest world ocean - the Southern Ocean - from the southern portions of the Atlantic Ocean, Indian ocean, and Pacific Ocean. The new Southern Ocean completely surrounds Antarctica. So your statement that there will never be more then 4 oceans is wrong. There are now 5 oceans!!
