I know this is a strange, more off topic thing to wonder about but...

Has anyone ever looked into how many gallons of water is in the ocean? Its just mind blowing at the thought and I was wondering if anyone knew...

According to the US Geological Survey (https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&ved=0CCwQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Foceanservice.noaa.gov%2Ffacts%2Foceanwater.html&ei=wMBOUrDBOoO4rQGcvYF4&usg=AFQjCNFI5QGQ05T8fhXnEY66K_4RQ4th9A&sig2=cnwFj7k0akeGxSqkh3aLBA&bvm=bv.53537100,d.aWM), the ocean contains 1,335,000,000 cubic kilometers of water, which is about 352,670,000,000,000,000,000 gallons!! Which I suppose is about 353 quintillion gallons, but it looks more impressive when written with all the zeros :) ..
