THIS N THAT

The ICE AGE began some 2.6 million years ago and lasted until 11,000 years ago.  A glacier extended from the North Pole to Cincinnati in the midwestern USA.  A glacier is ice.  The thickness of the ice was about five time the height of Cincinnati's Carew Tower.  Thank God for global warming.
Japanese lesson:  Trees kept very tiny are called bonsai - you knew that.  The art of flower arranging is called ikebana.

The rest of the world and the scientific community uses a different scale to define temperature.  A quick, though not perfectly accurate, way to translate Celsius temperatures to Fahrenheit is: multiply by 2 and add 30.  You may find this handy.

The Apollo 11 lunar landing module may still be orbiting the moon.  NASA is not sure but, most likely, it crashed into the moon.  It was jettisoned into lunar orbit after bringing the astronauts back to their spacecraft.
