Who believes that? If it can only be formed at 32 degrees Fahrenheit (and below, obviously) it can't be melted at 29 degrees Fahrenheit. 

Actually it can be melted at 29 degrees F.

 

Dirt can absorb heat and make the temperature of the ground above freezing, mostly on a sunny day.

 

However, once you reach a low enough temperature (20 and below), it will stay there.

 

Snow can also go through sublimation as well.

 - The loudest animal in the world is the blue whale

(It's actually a shrimp, believe it or not.)

 

 - Mosquitoes are the most dangerous animal on Earth.

(It may have caused the most deaths in the world, but it's not the most dangerous. That trophy would go to the box jellyfish.)

Well then, who did?

the first functioning telephone was actually invented 15 years before Alexander by Philipp Reis, a German inventor. His device (which he called the Reis Telephone) was first demonstrated in 1861. The Reis Telephone was only able to transmit musical tones quite clearly, and human voices faintly. So the first transmission of human voices over wire was on the device created by Reis, a full fifteen years prior to the invention by Alexander who now receives all the accolades for it.
