because there is a lot of salt,so it'salty .. it'a easy thing to understand , what really confuses me is why you ask such a easy and obvious question

It was my mistake--I accidently spilled some salt on Gods countertop and swept it off and it drifted off into the alantic ocean and I had to throw some salt over my shoulder (for good luck) and it went into the pacific ocean. LOL. I have no idea, it's a good question though.
