          Good point. by run.dll 2007-04-26 17:37:18
If it did have an imparted spin early on, it would have spun down with tidal forces of the magnitude one would expect of a closely orbiting body. I would suspect that the long lasting geological disruption would have boiled away water too, although the large mass would delay the process to some extent.
