THIS N THAT

The piano hadn't been invented when Johann Sabastian Bach was born in 1685.  He went on to compose many wonderful piano concertos.  The piano dates to 1700 when Bartolomeo Cristofori put hammer to string for the first time.  Before that, strings had only been plucked.  

Andean bears are the only bears native to South America.  You can see one at the Cincinnati Zoo. They wear a distinctive face mask.  

In 2007, the highest paid athlete in New Zealand was Steve Williams.  He was Tiger Woods' caddie.

Chicago, Illinois has more Greeks than any city in the world except Athens, the capitol city of Greece.

In two days, you may begin to be able to see the great conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn.  These two planets which appear to be the largest stars in the sky will appear next to each other from our standpoint.  If you look into the southwest horizon for the next three days at sunset, you should be able to see it - they will look as one.  They haven't been this close for us in 400 years and won't again for 60 years. This may be an event similar to that which directed the magi to find the Christchild.
