So I was half asleep/half watching the History Channel this morning that being th the show they have on about the “Most” whatever (highest mountain, coldest witch’s tit, whathaveyou) when I heard it mentioned that the “most” deepest part of the ocean was the Mariana’s Trench, which was visited, once, in 1960.
