So, the the video was in 2008, and he said in five years, so by 2013, not 2010, but it still came and went.

Can we get back to not discussing that clown? I try to forget about him!

The 'real' ice is 'freshwater' ice.It's salt free.
If you pump seawater onto it,you lower it's freeze point and melt it.
