fguy, we're just joking I think. I think these two threads are fine.

 

[fguy64]

cool.

Name two freshwater lakes that each contain more water than Lake Superior. Where are they located?

 

[ichwar]

Bear lake, and Slave lake, both located in Canada?

 

[fguy64]

good guess, but not even close.

Here is a clue. Lake Superior is the world's biggest lake by surface area, but the two lakes in my question are much deeper. In fact, the number one lake by volume contains more freshwater than all five of the Great Lakes combined. Fact.

Correct. No I'm not kidding. Everyone knows about the event, but lots of people aren't able to quote from memory the exact year or the mission number.

And even fewer people are able to quote from memory the exact time of day. good job.
Edit:
Actually, Neil didn't walk on the moon till the 21st, but who's quibbling. Oh yeah, nexhunter snuck in first with the answer.
