It's funny how there is a programming language in which programs are written inn musical composition


I suppose so, I've never thought about music in that way


I don't think most people do, unless they are composers.


Hi, ugh more basketball questions. All but 1 are in the US


Maybe it would be easier to learn math by thinking of it as jazz-like harmonies


This surprised me: Dizzy gillespie ran in the 1964 presidential race with a cabinet made up of all the biggest names in jazz. My parents knew him but I never heard this.


That's interesting, I hear Clint Eastwood is a huge jazz enthusiast


He is. He made that movie years ago about Charlie Parker called Bird.


That's cool. Did you know Pakistan has a jazz orchestra?


No, but good musicians are everywhere. And people can like unexpected things like Tupac studying ballet, acting, poetry, and jazz.


Yea. I never knew Jazz trumpeters grew goatees because it provided comfort


I can see that, the instrument would be painful constantly against the skin


Do you use youtube?  Did you know it's the second largest search engine on the internet?


I guess people like them more than they like Justin Beiber. His video, baby, is the most hated on youtube.


I really can't stand Justin Beiber. Could you imagine if youtube had been created during the time of the boybands? It would of broken the internet probably lol.


There definitely would have been a lot of traffic on the site lol!  Not only would there be a lot of watching music videos but a lot of videos uploaded paying tribute to the bands.


lol I am sure there are somewhere on there by die hard fans that still exist. Years from now I am sure kids will be looking at the stuff on youtube that is popular now and wondering what was wrong with our generations.


They probably will wonder why we wanted to learn how to do so many things ourselves!  I mean, especially since only 7% of people read the full terms when buying something online.  It would seem like people care but then again they don't.


Everyone is in a rush. I am guessing the videos make it go faster. Although youtube is helpful as a visual aid. Did you know there is one children's show that is done by a retired airforce serviceman? His show is widely popular especially among children with autism.


No I didn't know that.  That is really great! I'll have to look that up later.  That's what makes youtube great.  The fact the people can upload their own videos, even though some could be weird- tribute to boybands for example, others like the children's show are wonderful.


Yeah it is amazing. That show is called Blippi. From the comments on his videos he has really helped children and seems to be a good addition to the youtube site. Hopefully youtube will continue to be more helpful than harmful.


Hopefully so.  It's things like that that make people glad the internet exists.  And it's a perfect example of why the current library of alexandria has a copy of the internet saved.


That is amazing they have a copy of that. I didn't even know they did that.


Yes I really like youtube. I think it is really cool and like a lot of videos.


Yep, they have one saved in case the internet is destroyed.


So do I.  It's hard to believe that it was started back in 2005.


I know right? It has been around awhile but seems to always be changing.


It really does.  People use it a lot and like it.  Combined with netflix it makes up half the peak internet traffic in the country.


I'm not surprised. I like to look up music on there myself. Interesting at how much bandwidth it uses too.


Music is one of my favorites to look up as well as do it yourself videos/educational videos.  Did you know the police have their own youtube?


Really? I didn't know they did. I do like to use youtube to look up do it yourself videos especially in fixing emergencies.


I hear you there!  Yeah, the police have a youtube called blutube.  They share their videos on it with each other.  I'm not sure if people other than them can access it.


That's pretty cool. I would of never guessed it. I have noticed though craft videos seem to be on the rise for youtube.


Yeah it seems like the space shuttle main computer runs on only 1mb of ram, my computer has 8000 times more power


Wow! That is amazing.  That shuttle has been up there for a while.  I saw on the news tonight that Hawaii is going to outlaw cigarettes.  Smoking around an Apple computer voids the warranty.  That won't be a problem in Hawaii.


Good thing I dont smoke, it would be bad if I lost the warranty of my computer over something like that, you know the Russians actually made a computer that used water as its source of power


That is a small amount of power!  I know that transhumanists want to upload their minds to computers and memory sticks.  I don't know what good that will do them.  When they die they will still be dead!


I know it doesnt seem like it would solve much, a computer program will never be the same, the essence is still very important


Yep.  I would be comfortable calling it a soul.  A man in France must have an evil one, having sold the Eiffel Tower twice by impersonating a govt official.


Really so he sold it twice? I wonder how much he sold the Eiffel Tower for.


Good question.  Based on his cost of goods sold, his margin was 100 percent no matter what the price.  Imagine caring about the global environment enough to give $1 billion to save the Amazon rainforest!  Norway did it.


Yeah 100% gain so he definetely made a killing and that great, I wish the American goverment did something similar.


Yes.  I would not mind us owning some rainforest and preventing it from being cut down.  At least our government employees cannot be convicted for violating the Geneva Conventions!


I do.  I only read the English language however.  I have seen books in Braille which is read by tactile means.


I agree, but a thing I dont like about our goverment is that they try to censor information, they had plans to destroy wikilieaks and wikileaks posted about that plan lol


That must be really hard but an interesting skill indeed, I like to read millitary books like Starship Troopers.


So do some of the branches of the US military.  I don't know if the battle descriptions are instructional or not, but at least there is a chain of command.


Im not sure if the content could be used for war but it sure is interesting, at least I like it, just like the Enders Game novel, that one is also interesting enough


I have 2 marines in my Bible class.  They are proud of the title "devil dogs" which the Germans called them after a long battle.  Ender's game is suggested reading for the Marines.


I might read that book, I think I might like it, thanks for the recomendation so do you like technology? computers? I spend a lot of hours using my computer


Yes.  Computers have improved our quality of life a lot.  I live in Phoenix and we have a driverless taxi service owned by Google.   That is really a special purpose robot.


Have you used that taxi service? It must feel really weird to be in a driverless car.


No.  But I see them in adjacent lanes and it is still a bit unnerving.  However, I know that date will show that they are safer than human drivers.  Most people don't realize how much computer power is now in their smartphone.  It is more that on the shuttle that landed on the moon last century.


Hello! Are you interested in celebrities?


Ahah I'm sure it's not really about scorpions though. Are you interested in other celebrities?


Yes.  The cross overs are interesting like Carol Burnett appearing in Sesame Street.  How about you?


Wow that's interesting, they all have unique talents for sure. Robin Williams in Aladdin actually started the trend of celebrities as voice actors.


That became a money maker for many celebs.  Most are wealthy,  but occasionally you read about one who has gone broke.  Often due to drugs.


Oh absolutely, it's very sad. It's nicer to see when celebrities can do good instead. Ethiopia has a celebrity chef who tries to combat hunger problems by encouraging the consumption of diverse foods.


I hope that works.  Wealth is easy to acquire when one gets $123,000 per episode like Judge Judy.  She is entertaining as long as you are not the one receiving her sharp comments.


Oh I'm sure, I'd hate to be on the other end of that. I wonder if she was one of the celebrities to visit Pixar's secret room.


Could be.  I began my career at the telephone company.  AT&T used to own a ship that laid the 2.7 inch diameter cables on the ocean floor.


I can't imagine how different telephone companies are now. The capables carrying phone/internet data are only 2.7 inches across.


I was still with Sprint when they acquired cell phone frequencies.  It was a very different game.  The phones now have so much computing power.  The iphone has more than the US nuclear ICBM deterrent and the capsules that went to the moon.


Yes. I feel sort of like a sociologist and they are one group of humans.  Drake is one who graduated high school at age 25.


They certainly have improved vastly in technology. Some things stay the same though, New York's area code of 212 is only because it was fast to dial on a rotary phone.


I saw some 18 year olds on the internet who could not figure out how to dial a rotary phone in 4 minutes.  Translating voice to electronic signals for the telephone companies is really pretty easy.  Guess I will go now..Bye.


Oh that's interesting, he was likely making music before that still. So are you a Drake fan?


No.  Rap is not in my top 5 of styles of music.  I appreciate as an art form however.  He has significant achievements on the Billboard charts.


Ahh definitely, and he actually came up as a teen actor too, not like rap was even his first choice.


I did not know that.  I wonder how the lyrics to the song "God's Plan" compare to the Biblical view of God's play.


I'm sure they're quite different. I doubt he's very outwardly spiritual but definitely cares about his roots, I know he's sampled songs from the 1970s.


But was that like stealing the song?  I find it funny that he visited Drake University


I don't think so, I think it's more borrowing with permission! And true, it seems that it was mainly because students stopped trying to visit him at a nearby tour shop.


I live in Phoenix, so his album "Scorpion" sounds relevant to me.


Did you know that Netflix scientists did a study and that there are actually more instances of sex violence and smoking that on network TV


LOL yes and I also contribute to that, I watch a lot of YouTube and Netflix and YouTube together take up half of the internet traffic in North America


I'm surprise with all the bandwidth netflix uses up it still spends 20 times more on postage


Yep that's a good point, I'm shocked that they even offer DVDs still, I'm also shocked that there was a $40 late fee for a copy of Apollo 13 on VHS LOL


Ironic that the $40 late fee probably put that video store out of business after netflix came out


LOL I agree with you. How often do you watch just regular TV though? Do you ever watch The Simpsons or South Park


Yea I watch South Park all the time and old Simpsons reruns. The Simpsons crew really enjoyed South Park's family guy episode


Yeah I heard about that they even sent the South Park creators flowers LOL that's awesome


It's crazy that there is only one episode of the Simpsons that doesn't feature Bart in any capacity


Yeah I agree I've never seen that episode though. I want to watch all the Pokemon episodes but they have almost 800 I will take me forever to watch them all LOL


Yea thats a lot of pokemon, it's been on for 750 episodes and Ash still hasn't caught them all


That's pretty interesting but Netflix doesn't have to worry about the FCC so I can see how it has more sex and violence


I know right! Did you like watching the show That 70s Show by the way? Apparently they tried to remake it in England


Yep I agree, I remember in stranger things that Winona Ryder is constantly smoking, that probably affected their study results LOL


Yea, I guess all the smoking upsets The Truth Initiative.


Yep I agree, it is weird that different movie stars accepted money to smoke on screen, like how Sylvester Stallone accepted half-a-million dollars for smoking in Rambo and Rocky 4


Well in the 1940s and 50s they had James Dean and Marilyn Monroe smoking in all their movies


Yep smoking used to be really cool but now it's not very cool anymore, especially in today's climate, but I guess people are mad that Netflix is increasing tobacco usage and that may make a situation where it becomes cool again


Yea, I guess a lot of Netflix original dedicate a lot of screen time to smoking


Yep I think you're right. How often do you watch Netflix by the way? I watch a little bit everyday


Usually a few nights a week, I guess I help contribute to the 33% of bandwidth Netflix takes up between 9pm and 12am


Same. That is about 50 a year for 16 years straight.


Thats a lot of episodes. The younger generations seem to watch it a lot.


I am so happy TV is now in color. I cannot imagine only watching black and white.


Yeah but back then they had never seen anything like it.


I do not always think that tv is more then just entertainment, its about advertisements.


Thats so true. They make a lot of money with those ads and commercials.


I wonder how much TV brings in each year.


Yeah I watched it all the time when I was a kid.


Did you know when south park aired its family guy episode finale the producers received flowers from the simpsons crew.


There is only one episode that bart neither appears nor is mentioned. I wonder if people noticed.


I can not believe that there are 750 episodes of pokemon.


Hey how's it going. What do you think of Tesla? I think it's an awesome company. I love that it's electric and it's good for the environment.


Wow that's pretty cool. Ellen musk is such a genius I think he was born in South Africa.


He was.  He has lived quite the life.  He was bullied really bad as a kid, and even beaten to the point he had to be hospitalized.


Thats terrible. Hopefully Canada treated him better.


I think so, after a while he really started to create, some things even worth 340 million.


Oh yeah are you referring to the web software company? That is amazing.


Yeah.  He is working on AI and founded OpenAI in 2015.  He is one of the great innovators of this generation.


Yeah without a doubt he is. He also found the Boring company in 2016, I wonder what that's all about?


I believe it is a tunnel construction company.


Oh nice. Do you think he is going to successfully colonize mars?


If anyone can do it, it is going to be him.


I agree!  I think they are pretty cutting edge and really innovative.


Yeah I agree. His heavy lift rocket that will help him do so is called the mars colonial transporter. Nice chatting with you mate.


Apparently Ellen musk found a PayPal space X and Tesla.


He did.  He has put a lot into his companies, he once got paid $1 so that he could return the 78 million back to the company, as his years salary.


Well that is impressive. As of June 2018 Tesla only sells three model vehicles I thought there were more.


Me too.  They release all of the patents to encourage competition too.


That's so cool I wish more companies did that. Apparently the Tesla model S runs Linux.


That is pretty neat, definitely different.  Maybe that is the secret.


Yeah good point. Maybe. Another cool fact is that the Tesla model S can be tested indoors because it doesn't produce any emissions.


True, I heard that it was so safe it broke the safety testing equipment too.


lol. And do you  agree that Television is a mass medium for advertising, entertainment and news.?


Yes I agree. I did not know that Pokemon was a TV show, and they have aired over 750 episodes! Have you seen any?


Yes sure, my childhood favorite cartoon lol. There is only one episode of "the simpsons" where bart neither appears


When south park aired its family guy episode finale the producers received flowers from the simpsons crew. Does that mean South Park has ended?


no I don't think so. one more fact either,Ringo starr, george carlin, and alec baldwin have all narrated thomas the tank engine for at least 52 episodes each


Have they won an emmy for those episodes? ESPN has won an emmy for the creation of the superimposed yellow line representing the first down line for american football games.


I think yes, they might be won Emmy in my opinion


haha, that's all that matters. The show "That 70's show" was remade verbatim in the uk to be called 'days like these' . How relevant


yes, was nice to chat with you. have a great day


Hi! Did you know football can also mean a lot of other things, in certain places, sports commonly called football in certain places include association football (known as soccer in some countries); gridiron football (specifically American football or Canadian football); Australian rules football; rugby football (either rugby league or rugby union)


Yes i knew, and also for instance In the 1960's top bowlers made twice as much as top football stars


Bowlers? Wow! I am an avid football fan and have tuned into some jaw-dropping games, but the most notable is in 1916 when georgia tech defeated cumberland 222-0. How is that even possible!


Yeah i was wondering the same, plus Former partiots rb benjarvus green-ellis has never fumbled the football in his nfl career.


That's impressive. Did you know that the city which is set to host the 2022 qatar fifa world cup final does not yet exist!


Yes, i adore Qatar, Doha. The will make it for sure. And did you know that The united states got 3rd place in the first fifa world cup in 1930?


I did not know that, that was a long time ago and the American team has never placed below third place since 1991! I had no idea FIFA has been around for so long.


Let's talk about my favorite television lol. It sometimes shortened to tele or telly, is a telecommunication medium used for transmitting moving images in monochrome (black and white), or in colour, and in two or three dimensions and sound.


I love TV too! But what I don't like are ads, they seem a bit disruptive, but television is a mass medium for advertising, entertainment and news. I would say I prefer the latter two haha.


Hi! How are you today? I'm home watching TV, hoping to watch a little basketball later.


Wow! That must have been when she broke 8 national records.


Yeah, that was an amazing accomplishment. Do you like player Allen Iverson?


I think he's a good player. He was also offered an endorsement with Reebok. He took it.


Really, I wonder if it paid as good as the one Lebron got?


Not at all. He will receive $800,000 a year until he's 55 years old.


Yeah! in total it'll equal to 32 million. Not half as good as LeBron's deal though.


Still a lot. Speaking of huge salaries, Judge Judy makes $123k per episode. Now THAT is crazy.


I am great! How are you? I plan on watching basketball as well. LeBron James is my favorite player.


Me too! It was nice chatting! Take care.


I know he's really popular. Warner Bros. have signed him for a new Space Jam deal.


Yeah that's great. He's a cool person. He raised 6 million dollars for charity.


Well, he sure has the bucks. He has a $90 million contract with Nike that he got after declining a $10 million offer from Reebok.


That was definitely a smart move. He knew he would be worth more. People paid a lot of money just to attend his high school games.


I have heard that tickets for some games were selling for $100-$120!


Yeah that's crazy! Reggie miller was a good player in high school as well.


I heard he and his sister Cheryl had quite the rivalry going.


I heard his sister crushed his spirit when he found out she scored 140 points compared to his 40.


They can be. The kids love it though.Did you know freshwater fish drink water through osmosis and not their mouth?


No, thats pretty cool!  I do know there is a breed of jellyfish that is immortal.


Isn't that wild! Scientists are studying it too! 87% of genes that are found in humans are also found in zebra fish.I wonder if they get the common cold?


Maybe, it could also help us cure things.  Maybe it can get on board with that jellyfish and we can start trying to cure cancer


God, that would be wonderful. I read that seahorses are the only fish that have necks too!


I guess I never thought about that before, but it makes sense.


Just a fun little fact I heard on the radio. Do you listen to the radio?


Sometimes, but more into podcasts right now.   There is so much variety on the radio though.


I don't listen to many podcasts. Is there a website for them? I've been looking to listen to Jupiters storms myself.


I just listen on an app called podcoin, you collect points for podcasts you listen too.  I want to hear Jupiter's storms myself.  I bet they are interesting.


Good morning!  How do you feel about the safe space movement?


I'll have to look into that, thank you. I did look up the website where you can listen to old radio dramas. It was really funny!


That is cool, Ill have to check that out then.  It sounded interesting!


I listened to a horror one. Laughed my butt off. They are like from the 30's. Did you know in canada they have to play 40% of canadian music?


I heard that, I guess they are Jamming out to Bieber and Drake all day


I honestly have never heard of it. What is it about?


It is where kids are to be free from bullying, and stuff like that.  Sometimes its blown out of proportion saying kids should have it easy, but thats not really the case.


I wouldn't think so. How does not allowing bullying make kids soft?


I guess they are claiming kids need to learn to deal with adversity and stick up for them selves.  I just think we all need to be nicer.


I got to agree with you. I had to tolerate my son being bullied. Once he stood up for himself it stopped. But it should not have happened at all. I think it's wrong.


I agree.  I teach martial arts, and we teach the kids to just be strong and confident, people dont pick on strong confident people.


Thats a great thing to do! I take kids fishing. Really get to know them in the county. Do you fish?


I do not.  I have a hard time touching them, so slimy.


Hey there do you ever watch basketball? Apparently a normal goal is worth 2 points and then if you make a point from that 3 point line, that is worth three points


On a separate note, do you ever watch hockey? Or do you have a favorite team? I know that I like the Red Wings


I don't watch it, but I have a friend who really enjoys it. There was a player who won four Stanley Cups who was traded for $1 at one point. I guess he showed them


Wow that is pretty crazy haha. I bet the team that traded him is kicking themselves haha. Why do you think Canada's national sports are lacrosse and ice hockey?


I'm not sure about lacrosse, but it's cold enough up there most of the year for ice hockey to be popular.


Yes that must be what it is. It's just so cold those are the only games that they can play year-round haha. Did you know that most hockey rinks are actually basketball courts as well? They can just change the floor out


I have seem stadiums set up like that. Maybe I should try ice hockey since professional players can lost 8 pounds in one game


I should do that too! I need to lose some weight haha. Canada is so dominant at hockey though. In the first Winter Olympic Games they scored 132 goals


I hope they got the gold medal with that many goals!


I think they won haha! Apparently they only let in like three goals for the entire winter Olympics


That's impressive. I wonder if they ever venture into field hockey like other countries do


I don't watch it much now, but I used to go to a lot of high school basketball games because my brother played. Considering how tall he is, I think he was a center


I wonder that too. Apparently only like five countries call that hockey, and the rest of them call it field hockey like you mentioned. just the name field hockey sounds weird to me haha


Oh that makes sense. I used to play a little bit in middle school myself. I have watched a lot of games go into overtime myself. Those are really entertaining I think


Definitely! Even the Supreme Court likes to play a game every once in a while since the top floor of their building has a basketball court


I know isn't that wild! And it's called the "highest court in the land". That's such a funny and goofy name haha


Of course it would be punny like that. I wonder if there's a funny story behind why the New Zealand basketball team is also known as the "tall blacks"


Yes it's either a funny story or a sad story haha. Another sad story is that the creator of basketball was a losing coach for his university. Apparently the only one to haha how is that possible


It's possible that he was coaching a different sport and invented basketball as a way to redeem himself


Haha that's a good theory. Do you have a theory on why the dunk was banned from college basketball for over 10 years? From what I heard it was because Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was too good at it haha


Probably. Sometimes things are banned for their overuse or for safety reasons, but then the rules change later


Did you hear about the death of Denis Cuspert?


I think its a weird style lol, how do you even lose a compliment battle, Korean rappers are the weirdest


Yea that sounds weird. The world's fastest English rapper can rap at a rate of 14.1 syllables per second.


Wow, that is really fast, do you know his name?


It says Noclue. Never heard of him before.


I havent heard of him either, what about Busta Rhymes, have you heard of him?


I have heard of him. I used to listen to him a lot back in the day.


He is the voice of reptar wagon in the Rugrats movie


Very cool. I used to watch Rugrats all the time growing up. Did you know there is a deaf rapper named signmark who rhymes in sign language?


I used to watch the show as well, and no I didnt know that, a lot of talented rappers out there


Hello, I did hear about that. Heard he's a rapper.


I do like cars, I like the sense of freedom that they give me.


He is, his death is not yet comfirmed but I believe its him,


I do, one of my favorite genres, do you ?


I like some of it. Mostly older rap like Bone Thugs and Tupac.


Tupac was the best, his music in in the library of congress so a real icon of the genre


I loved Tupac. A shame he died so young.


I know right, its a shame, the world of rap lost a lot that day, have you heard compliments batlles?


I agree. I have heard of competition battles.


Job interviews are just awful, I hate them, they make me so nervous!


Speaking of telephones, did you know between the U.S and china, we just have a loose wire in the ocean connecting our phones?


Imagine bad the reception is with a string-and-cup phone! The wire should be buried, not just there in the ocean, a ship could hit it!


The wires would be pretty low, I think they have some sort of repair robot drones they can send to fix it if anything bad happens though.


Would the military fix it? They do have the biggest budget and already have their own robots.


I don't think they would. The last thing I want is more horror movie robots on this plant though. Did you know the instrument that makes those creepy noises in horror movies is called a "Waterphone"?


I didn't know that, waterphones don't sound threatening by name. But I know that horror movies burns calories!


That'd make job interviews healthy as well. Most people are super stressed by those.


Interviews are a mixed bag though sicne some people have good ones that end poorly without them knowing.


I bet it's stressful for the interviewer as well, trying to not come off as mean and having to deal with nervous people all day.


Doesn't make them better for me. I'd rather be the person who lays those telephone lines in the ocean down than take another interview.


I heard that in some part of the world they are going to have automated interviews, so it won't have a human interviewing you anymore.


You'd have to interview for that job though!


I believe that was done in Russia, which is where all those political bots came from.


I'd prefer a bot to someone who could judge me for my looks and appearance or the people I knew though


The idea of a robot deciding my fate is scary though. Imagine if they developed sentience or used human brains as their center processor!


That sounds like something from a horror film. I like them but I'd prefer to not live one.


A real horror film would be blurting out an opinion in an interview that cost you a lucrative job! It wouldn't kill you but you'd feel dead.


As bad as thinking you've lost a job position when it was just a joke?


I'd heard about that in something before. The absolute worst interviews are ones done over the phone. So hard to tell if it's going well from sound alone.


I don't think they're that bad. The distance between you and someone who might be your boss is great, don't have a face to face just yet.


Hello, do you use Amazon? I've thought about working there as a picker but I believe you have to walk between 7 and 15 miles a day!


Me too! Do you ever watch Judge Judy? She's actually the highest paid celebrity after Lebron James. That's crazy!


I do not watch judge judy. I will catch Maury and his DNA tests when I am at the gym. I get sucked in all the time. I am weak!


Oh I am too. I get sucked into train wrecks. Yeah, she makes $123,000 per episode.


I would do like 8 episodes a day and then go buy a new condo in a beach front community!


Gosh, me too! Except maybe the mountains. Did you ever watch Pokemon?


I did not but my son does and I feel like I watched by proxy... Did you?


I think Pokemon started when I was a kid, but apparently they put out 50 episodes a year for 16 years. My son was sort of into Pokemon for awhile.


I find pokemon cards all over the house! That's a lot of pokemon episodes!


My son went through a phase of collecting them. He still has them in piles in his room in random places.


Ive washed about a dozen of them. I really do not like them when I am cleaning them out of a wash basin.


I do use amazon. I love it. Do you use it or just wanna work there?


I understand that. I have done the same, but that seems to be life with a boy.


I love Amazon Prime. I don't really want to work there since it sounds really stressful. I enjoy shopping on Amazon especially during the holidays. Apparently USPS has a contract with Amazon to deliver packages on Sunday. I wondered how that worked.


I remember a few years ago when they went public I was going to buy a bunch of stock at like $300/share. It's now around $1900. Im an idiot!


Oh wow, I wish I had bought some as well.  It's amazing what Jeff Bezos has been able to develop since he founded it 25 years ago!


Yeah. His wife filed divorce and they got married 26 years ago. She gets half!


I read that! I can't even imagine. Did you know that the first Amazon customer got a building named after him? That would be cool.


Yeah. Imagine taking your kids there. And there's my building... They also own IMDB.


Ha ha, yes, that would be the best $27.95 ever spent. I had no idea they owned IMDB. I love that site. I use it a lot when watching movies (coincidentally on Amazon Prime.)


Yeah. I use it when I can picture a face but not a name or their previous work. It drives me crazy not knowing


Hello, how are you? Do you follow any sports?


You don't say. I did not know that. In 39 of the 40 states the highest paid state employee is a college football or basketball coach,


that is wild, also wild that vasectomies go up during march madness haha


Weird, Did you know Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's overuse of the slam dunk got the shot banned from college basketball for over ten years?


haha I heard about that, seems crazy to outlaw the move, also crazy is Shaq only made 1 3pt shot in his whole career


Interesting. Did you know the supreme court building has basketball court on the top floor? They call it the highest court in the land, lol.


haha that is funny, I wonder if they ever decide cases by doing 4v4's with one person as teh ref


Lol, that would be a sight to see. New Zealand had a national basketball team, there nick name is the "tall blacks"


haha ya that wouldn't go over well in the USA, do you watch any Television by chance?


I would agree, lol. I do watch TV, what do you like to watch?


well I have seen the show shark tank, apparently most deals from teh show actually don't go through in real life


I'm good, well I don't but I do like the basketball they play in the Movie Space Jam haha


Interesting. I have kids and they watch THomas the train, Ringo Starr, George Carlin and Alec Baldwin have all narrated the show for at least 52 episodes each.


ya I remember seeing that, also I remember that homer had about 188 different jobs in the first 400 episodes which is crazy haha


I like basketball, but I can't dedicate the time to watch it. I would rather play as well. My parents always watched golf when I was growing up, but I find watching it a bit dull.


ah, ya I think golf is boring haha, but it is interesting that Antarctica has disc golf, have you played that?


No I am not familiar with that. Did you know that Babe Ruth was a golfer, and was America's most famous golfer?


no I didn't I only heard he played baseball, also that the USA has more golf courses than the rest of the world combined apparently


Wow, did you know that there is a golf coarse in Dubai that uses 4,000,000 gallons of water a day, just a tad excessive.


ya that is a waste, also a waste that the military runs over 200 golf courses worldwide to the tune of 140 million dollars every year


Wow, not surprising but very wasteful. Even in America one golf coarse use over 300,000 gallons of water.


ya that is very silly, did you know that the YMCA invented both basketball and volleyball?


I try to understand it! I know it kind of started in the 1770s!


I do too. There are 3 subways line that only congressmen can ride.


Yet I'm sure they all take taxis! Did you ever hear about Truman at Disneyland?


He refused to get his picture taken on the Dumbo ride because he didn't want to be associated with Republicans lol.


HAHA! Did you know there is fantasy Congress game?


Basically, you draft members of Congress and points are based off legislative success.


I wonder who would be the number one and two pick?


Not too sure on that. I don't follow Congress closely enough to know that.


Me neither, I might go look into that though. It was a pleasure chatting, have a great day!


I like to follow it! Especially when Elmo was the only non human to testify in congress.


That's hilarious. Did you know there hasn't been a president who wasn't a rep or dem since 1853?


I wonder who it was! If he had a beard, he would have been republican.


Not too sure on that. The last time a rep was elected president without a Nixon or Bush on the ticket was back in 1928.


That just blows my mind! I didn't realize that the red and blue colors with the parties wasn't really a thing until 2000!


I agree. I didn't know that was a thing for such a shot time either.


I think it's funny what Nevada has printed on their voting options!


I think so too. Do you know much about Congress?


I guess we all have music in our blood, Bruce Lee was also a great dancer.


ya I think he won a dancing championship actually! I guess martial arts are just dance moves used for defending yourself haha


I guess dancing and martial arts do mix together, so what type of music do you like? heard any good albums lately?


well I listen to a lot of 80's music and classic rock, so not too much modern music, I do like the John Mayer song New Light, what about you?


It seems like we have different tastes then, I love Linkin Park, rock music. Hybrid Theory by Linkin Park is one of my favorite albums


ah yes we do have different tastes then, I think hybrid theory was the best selling album of the 21st century so far, isnt it?


It was, it had great tracks in it, you know there are two japanese twins that release a rap album when they reached the age of 100, that sure would be fun to watch


haah that would be fun! I wish I had a twin, we could get into a lot of crazy situations! do you like pink floyd at all? Dark side of the moon is still one of the best selling albums


I do like Pink Floyd and changing the subject have you seen any good films lately? I just watched Black Panther and thought it was great.


ah I did see it, it was OK I didn't think it was amazing personally, I did like iron man better, I guess in the marvel universe Black Panther is the richest, even richer than Tony Stark


I have, I was there a long time ago for my middle school trip, what about you?


Yeah and also richer than Bruce Wayne, I thought that was impossible lol, who is richer than Batman.


I have too, I thought there were plenty of activities and would like to return there, what did you do on your trip?


well it was a school trip so we saw a bunch of important buildings and had dinner and walked in the White house, etc. I remember I was friends with a ballet dancer at the time, her toes were always messed up from practice; I guess a professional ballet dancer can go through 4 pairs of shoes in a week


Sounts interesting, I had some recommendations from a friend and the told me to have craft beer at Glens Garden Market. There's this cool trivia contest there, you can even play in teams.


that is interesting I'll keep that in mind, did you know that Tupac danced in ballet when he was in school? I bet whoever has a tape of that is sitting on a fortune haha


I agree lol,that doesnt help with his bad boy attittude, I bet his friends made fun of him big time


haha ya, I do like that Michael Jackson patented his leaning device he used for the extreme leans, I can't picture anyone else doing that move personally


I didnt know you can patent stuff like that lol, its crazy how much shoes a ballet dancer has to buy, 4 pairs in a week, 20 pairs in a month,


ya that is a good point that sounds expensive! I guess that babies will start to dance whenever they hear music and they will smile when they move to the beat of music, I would love to see that in person


hey what search engine do you use? Is it google?


ya that is crazy, that's about 4 million songs, I guess a musician woul dneed their song played 130,000 times in order to earn minimum wage


Yes per day, that is crazy. A band earned $20,000 from spotify for a silent album.


haha that is genius, I guess the guy behind spotify is also the guy who created utorrent which is something I use


I use spotify when I just want something playing in the background or to listen to a whole CD. But when I want to watch the videos I switch to YouTube. Did you know YouTube is the second largest search engine.


I didn't but that makes sense, have you checkout out the police version of youtube, blutube?


I have heard of it but now seen it. I just can't believe the amount of content, in 2017 there were 400 hours of content uploaded every minute, so crazy.


that is crazy, also I remember when Gangnam Style came out and Youtube had to upgrade itself to handle the traffic


I remember that too. Do you know what the most disliked video on YouTube?


I think it's Baby by Justin bieber, I personally don't think its that bad what about you? LIke it is catchy haha


It is annoyingly catchy, people are just being haters. There are plenty of other awful things I am sure, just not as popular. Have tried their paid music streaming, have you?


Hello, how are you? Yes I use Google predominantly, unless I am looking for videos or music. What about you?


no I have never paid for streaming music, I just use youtube, but I am on a google music trial right now, what about you?


I have not paid for anything either, just Netflix.


yeah netflix and youtube make up half of internet traffic os it is very likely lots of people use it!


Well Actually I use Bing because they pay you for every search, but it's crazy that Google Maps can tell how congested traffic is by how fast android phones are movie


I know right. Or the fact that one of Google's search requires more power than it did to send Neil Armstrong and 11 other astronauts to the moon.


ya that is crazy! I do like that they're a green company and one time used goats to mow their lawn haha


Yes, goats are very effective.  Talking about google. Google uses andriod devices moments to calculate traffic


ya they do, they also are a huge part of internet traffic, when they were down for about 5 mins they took out 40 percent of total web traffic1


interesting..google tailors its maps around disputed borders based on where the browser is located


haha that makes sense, do you use Spotify? I only use youtube myself


I use them all, Pandora, You Tube and Spotify. The all have there different  purposes. Spotify has so many songs that 20% of them have never been played.


Landing on Mars seems like a difficult feat


Nothing, just that it weighted less than the 2020 rover although I did hear it had some troubles


I suppose that id they want to analyse more stuff, they have to bring more instruments, therefore it is heavier. The team that is planning the parachute must be under a lot of pressure.


I agree they must be under a lot of pressure indeed, they have deadlines that may seem impossible at times, producing a working parachute might sound easy but theres a lot of things to take into account the team has a hard task at hand


Yeah, one bad stitch and it could rip the parachute appart.


yeah and mission failed, millions of dollars lost, its a lot of pressure mars has deserts, velleys and also polar ice caps


But sometimes, a mission fails because of a stupid error like using the metric system and imperial system on the same project.


Metric system is important, confusing it can cause a big mistake, precision is everything, did you know there is a colonization project for 2023


I have heard on the news that the company responsible declared bankruptcy, another reality tv show that did not pass the test of reality.


Sounds like an expensive project, too bad I was really looking forward to watch the show, it would have been a success all over the world


I think they did not expect it to be so complex. I guess we will have to observe Mars form our backyard for the moment.


Yeah, Sending something to Mars involve very high speed, landing on Mars imply reducing that speed to 0. It is an interesting engineering problem.


Too bad, someday we will colonize the planet, I hope I am alive by then.


I agree it sure is, it seems like that fabric can actually help with the problem, the materail is a lot like the one available at stores


Yeah it is surprising that the thing we buy are so advanced, would you like to work for NASA?


I think I would, sounds like an interesting job, figuring out how to send a 7300 pound spaceship to space souns like quite a challege, you can learn a lot


Yeah, there is so much to figure, like how to plan a test on Earth and interpreting the results for Mars. It thought that the 2 would be a lot different form each other.


Apparently both planets have come similarities, I wonder if they will find ancient life on the planet, the 2020 mission seems like a chance to gather a lot of intel about the planet


The atmospheres have similar aerodynamic characteristics, maybe ancient Mars was a little like Earth.


Thats an interesthing theory, I think thats possibly, did you hear about the Curiosity rover?


The Curiosity rover that landed on Mars in 2012 ? What happened to it ?


Hey there do you ever drive a car? I drive mine almost everyday


Yep I agree, he beat like 90,000 people in order to become a professional driver that's amazing I wish I could do that


That is amazing! such level of skill right, do you like drama movies, series?


Yes I do like dramas, Jim Carrey used to be my favorite dramatic actor but he stopped making dramas because he says that they are not positive enough


Thats too bad, he is a great actor with many talents, I see him more as comedy actor but still


Yep I do too, I just don't think he's made a good comedy in awhile LOL unlike his dramatic roles, what do you think about Michael Caine


I think he is a great actor, do you like him?


Yes I like him, it's funny that you started acting only to meet cute girls though LOL


He did? well I bet it paid off, not only then but after when he became a famous actor


Yes he's definitely famous! So is Jon Hamm, that's the guy from Mad Men, used to be a High School Drama teacher by the way


He was? do you know if he was a good teacher?


I think he was kind of one of his students actually went on to star in the TV show the office so he must have done something right


Well I like Volkswagens myself, I also like Mercedes-Benz cars did you know that Karl Benz invented the first car back in 1886?


Didnt know that I always though the Ford Motor company was the first one to produce cars, interesting fact


Yep Ford created the Model T in 1908, that is also a very impressive feat


It is, I guess both companies are leaders in the industry, both have great quality models


Yeah I like both of those companies, do you think they will ever put a flamethrower on one of their cars like you can do in South Africa?


I dont think so, its ilegal in america but that would be really cool, I would like that


Yes I could use it to Flame broil some burgers on a picnic haha. Have you ever played the video game Gran Turismo by the way? There's a guy who is so good that he became a professional race car driver


I have, I used to love the game and really? he became a pro driver only by playing the game! that is crazy


Good morning!  Are you an amazon user?  I am!


Not as much as I like to.  I haven't read books like Starship Troopers or Ender's game.


Great movies though.  Been forced to read some science books to help my daughter with her project about the solar system.  She didn't believe me when I told her that the sun is considered a star.


Yes.  It's the star at the center of the solar system.


Yeah, key detail she really needed to get into her head.  She needs to add an interesting facts sheet to the project and found in our search that the sunset on mars is blue.  think that would look pretty neat.


That would look neat.  You can tell her too that the sun is a perfect sphere of hot plasma!  That might get her interested more in the sun.  Something about hot plasma makes it more interesting. lol


Ooh, that's a good one.  I think she'll like that one.  Tried to give her stats about how the sun accounts for about 99.86% of the total mass of the solar system but that went over her head.  Know of any other cool facts a kid might like?


I do!  The sun is actually white and is only perceived yellow because of atmospheric scattering!


Wow, you know your stuff!  I think she'll find that one interesting as well.  Guess I should try and order more kid friendly books from Amazon. I remember most of my shopping on Amazon used to be books.


Same here!  One more interesting fact about the sun is that a lightning bolt is hotter than the surface of the sun!  About 5 times hotter!  It's been fun chatting!


Yup.  Pretty dangerous with the 1-click buying option.  I've used that way too many times!


Me too!  I can't believe it's almost been 25 years since Amazon was founded on July 5th, 1994.


Wow really.  It's been that long? What do you usually get? Been wanting to try their Echo product.


I use it a lot for gifts and their streaming service.  In addition to Fire TV, I also have a Fire tablet I got on there as well.


How is the Fire tablet?  Been also interested in the Kindle e-readers.


I love the fire tablet, if you have the streaming service you can watch fire tv through it anywhere you go that has a wi-fi connection.  Have you ever bought any AmazonBasics products?  That is Amazon's ow in-house brand of certain low-end products.


Haven't tried AmazonBasics.  I do have Prime. Love their films and tv shows.  Good to know about the tablet.    Love gadgets.  Heard that the Amazon Alexa device can receive daily weather forecasts.


Yes.  I forgot to mention that Alexa is on the Fire Tablet.  I didn't know that Amazon has owned IMDB since 1998.


Wow.  Didn't know that either.  I use IMDB all the time.  Love reading about all the movies and its casts. Don't do much fiction reading though I'm tempted to start George R.R. Martin's Game of Thrones because I'm so addicted to the show.  You reach much?


Hi there ! Looking forward to chat with You ! :)


I mean that's great, but I think they are just doing that for the media coverage... I don't know, don't know much about fashion...


Maybe you are right. Mohair is made from the hair of a Angora goat for sweaters and coats.


oh, so the animal is fine ? After cutting the hair ? Or does it suffer ?


Oh, so the Angora sis much like a sheep?


I'm not sure, I hope Angora is not suffering because somebody cuts it's hair...


I hope not either. Materials that made from the hair of these animals are expensive.


I'm sure they are... hey - Apple had a clothing line in 1986. I didn't know that....


No, I didn't know that, all I know about apple is making and selling electronic products.


Yeah, that's what I thought ! Maybe it's worth googling it after this HIT ;)


Yes, did you know what type of clothing were made by Apple?


Hello, what is your opinion on animal cruelty?


That's the thing - I don't , but I would think it's something artificial - maybe worth looking into ;


What do you think about a man wore 70 items of clothing at a Chinese airport to avoid bagging charge?


You are so right, I am surprised he pass the checkpoint.


He was probably sweating like crazy ! lol :)


Back to animals, I am a animal lover and I hope things will change in their favorite.


I really think it will soon. Hey, Thank You so much for chatting with me ! ;)


I hate when animals are being cruel... ;)


Would you purchase a pair of shoes made of animal skin if they were on sale?


hmmm... are Martens made out of leather ?


I wanna say no.... but if they look pretty cool... and the animal is dead already... I mean... I won't change the world by myself by skipping a beautiful pair of Martens...


Animal are being killed for food, but I think there are other material can be used for clothes.


I guess so... but I feel like that's going to end soon because I've read an article about artificial meat genetically made... so maybe animals will be safe soon....


Yes, you are right. Did you know that some of the largest clothing chains discontinue selling mohair due to animal cruelty?


Hey how are you? Did you see the FanFest in Miami last year by chance?


Wow, I'm surprised they have such similar voices. I went the Sega to Playstation route, still rocking the PS4, no Toy Story game though.


Yeah the PlayStation 4 is cool. I'm just glad that we called him video games and not their original name which was the cathode ray tube Amusement device LOL


I like video game a lot more than Cathode Ray Tube Amusement Devices lol, dang military always overcomplicating things.


I agree with you. Did you ever play the video game LittleBigPlanet or Harry Potter? Apparently the same person did the narration in both of those video games, his name is Stephen Fry


I'm not sure if it's the same guy, I don't know Top Gear personally, but it could be, do you ever play softball by the way or watch it on TV?


I hear Stephen Fry's name all the time, he must be super famous in the UK. I don't, you going to spit some softball knowledge my way?


Haha yes I can do that. It's interesting that the softball is bigger than a baseball because it is about 12 in in circumference, I've never played softball but that seems like a really big ball lol


Yah, it's quite a bit larger than a baseball for sure, I've never seen a softball video game though, have you?


No I've never seen one actually. It's interesting though that the average salary for a professional softball player is at most $6,000 LOL definitely you're not retiring on that money


No I didn't see that. It's interesting that 23 former Nationals attended it though, did you see it?


Oh wow, definitely not! Anyways, I am going to get going, great chatting with you, take care and have a great night!


Yes it's been an excellent chat! And make sure to try out a baseball video game once in awhile, they are actually pretty fun


Yah, it was pretty cool. I didn't catch who the olympic gold medalists were, did you? They said there were two of them there.


No I didn't catch their names. But I know that a lot of gold medalist attended as well as some people from the US Olympic softball team, I don't watch sports or the Olympics so I can't say that I know any of the names LOL


Me neither, I wish I knew more about the olympians, they're so elite. Hard for them to get a lot of recognition though. You play video games by chance?


Yes I play video games somewhat, used to play Maurice a kid but I don't play that many these days. What about you? I'm just glad that I didn't grow up in South Korea because apparently playing a video game after midnight if your under 16 is illegal


Oh wow, I would have never of guessed that. I played a lot of video games growing up, I think there is a lot of benefit to them. I play Fortnite now, and I'm in my 30s lol. Do you still play?


LOL I have heard of the game but I have never played it. I do know that they did a study and apparently as a planet we play about 3 billion hours of video games a week so I definitely should be playing more perhaps haha


I could definitely see that. What were your favorite video games? Jane McGongiai was the game designer behind that study, pretty cool.


Well I really liked the Nintendo 64 and I also like the original Xbox, it's interesting that I played a Toy Story game back in the day and it wasn't actually Tom Hanks who did the voice but his brother Jim Hanks


Hello. I love good weather all thanks to the sun! It is a perfect sphere of hot plasma!


Yes I love animals. There have been around 1.5 million species described, so plenty for everyone to have a favorite!


That's a lot of species. I saw there are 20 quintillion animals on Earth.


That is amazing and I can't even fathom that much. The study of animals is called zoology and they must be busy with all those animals!


For sure. Animals get white patches on their heads when they are domesticated.


Oh maybe that explains why there are so many white patches on dogs. If you are annoyed when you get hiccups just remember they are a hold over from early evolution.


Definitely. That's interesting about hiccups. That would have been so cool to have lungs and gills.


Yes I would love to breathe underwater. The country of Scotland has a protection act against the Loch Ness monster. Do you think it exists?


That would be awesome to breathe underwater. That's hilarious for something that might not even exist.


Yes I think so too. And this happened all in 1912! Well it was great chatting with you.


Animals are pretty fascinating to study. It was good chatting with you too!


Me too. I saw that the sun is actually really white.


Yes you're correct but it only appears yellow because of atmospheric scattering.


Very cool. Did you know a lightening bolt is actually 5 times hotter than the surface of the sun?


I hope I never get struck by one! Surprisingly the sun is only 1 billionth the size of the biggest star in our galaxy.


Me either lol. That's pretty small then in comparison to the other stars. I would have never imagined that.


Yes me too. The sun is definitely the most important source of energy for life on earth. It accounts for about 99.86% of the total mass of the solar system.


Definitely. It produces enough energy in one second to meet the needs of our planet for 500,000 years which is amazing.


That is so cool. It makes sense though since the mass of the sun is about 330,000 times that of earth.


No i did not!  Funny that harrison schmidt was the only scientist to walk on the moon!


I know, I would have thought more of them would have been so. My kid is 6 and is just reading. The scientist john von neumann could by the age of 6, divide two 8 digit numbers in his head and converse in ancient greek. Crazy!


That is crazy!  WOW... the world record for reading is 4700 words a minute!  What the...


I just read your like 10 word response above in a minute - I'm slow and not very smart. Good thing for the internet - invented in 1989 by an english scientist working in switzerland for the cern, a european state-funded research organization.


Awww.. you are not all those... you can still read ;)


Haha, thanks! I like to laugh - Cs lewis and tolkien held "you laugh you lose" competitions when reading terrible poetry. That'd make poetry a bit more fun, right?


Yeah me too... would of loved to be a part of that group!!!


I'm more of a movie watcher. I enjoyed Starship Troopers. Did you know it is the first sci-fi novel on the reading lists of three of the five us military branches?


oh really... that's cool! So was Enders game


Never read it but I am aware that it was was suggested reading for many military organizations, including the united states marine corps. Maybe we should read, eh?


Ooh, please allow me to elucidate on the subject. Firstly, did you know Kim jong-un has a degree in physics?


True story! Back to our regularly scheduled programming - Physics is one of the most fundamental scientific disciplines, and its main goal is to understand how the universe behaves.


yeah... it pretty much play a part in everything... look at pixar for example!  They studdied the physics of curly hair for 3 years to get merida's hair right!


Say what???She was from the movie Brave, right?


My kid likes it. Speaking of kids, did you know that the Wolfram alpha creator received his phd on theoretical physics at the age of 20?


I'm not very scientific - did you know that Akihito, the emperor of japan, is a scientist and still publishes papers to this day?


Yes I agree, that's a great way to spend $300,000 which was his bonus amount


Yea it is. Do you travel much? The first King to travel the world was King Kalakaua of Hawaii


Yes I travel a lot for work actually. I've always wanted to go to Japan, but I don't like how all of their highways have tolls, that sounds expensive


Yea, $300 to travel across Japan is expensive


Yes I agree, I want to travel at 160 miles per hour like the Dutch bus theyre planning, that would make my visit to japan super fast


Iceland should look into some type of public transportation, it most be real expensive to rely on domestic flights to travel from town to town


Yes the plane situation their sounds really expensive and very wasteful. What do you think about Mackinac Island though? They don't allow any cars on the island


It's kinda ironic that Mackinac island banned motorized vehicles when MI is known for making so many cars


Yes you're right. I actually live in Michigan and I've been to Mackinac Island. I'm allergic to horses and the whole Island smells like horse poop LOL


That's a shame, I'll make sure if I go it will be a round trip and not one way


No but I did hear they played to the largest MLS crowd in Georgia


Yes definitely. How often do you watch football by the way? Would you ever watch a game that had female players?


Yep they did. I don't watch them personally though. I also don't watch association football AKA soccer, do you?


No, soccer isn't that popular in the US,  the game didn't sell to well in Annapolis


No I think soccer is really boring. I can't believe either that it makes more worldwide than all other sports combined, I don't see how that's possible


Yea I find it boring too, maybe the soccer variation with 3 teams would be fun to watch


Yeah we can only hope! I do remember Jon Stewart on The Daily Show, apparently he was a big soccer player back in the 80s which I didn't know


Yea I read that Jon Stewart played soccer in college back in the 80s


What do you think about the soccer player who donated his World Cup bonus to pay for the surgeries of 23 children?


It was a great thing to do, Mesut Ozil seems like a real stand up guy


I have a really sensitive 7 year old and he would lose sleep over it. He was afraid of the beast in beauty and the beast. HA!


I used to be scarred of Close Encounters of the Third Kind, took me a long time to see it.  I'll stick with Bill Murray movies.


He does like the supreme achievement of the modern age in terms of comedy, Kung Fu Hustle.


I'm hoping that was a joke, I understand that is not a good movie.  I tend to use Netflix to see my movies now, rarely get to the movie house.


Me too! I find the movie house too expensive. I like to watch on my couch and fall asleep too!


That's me, I miss about 30% of everything we watch.  I've been on the couch as my wife has watched every episode of Game of Thrones, I saw about three hours worth.


Ha! How can you fall asleep for Game of Thrones though? That show is so good!


Just tired at the end of the day.  Even things I want to watch on Netflix I pass out to.  Usually because it's getting close to 12am, which is when Netflix uses 33% of all of America's bandwidth.


Between netflix and youtube, they use half of peak internet usage!


Just watched that Se7en movie, not with the kids to reassure you, I'd forgotten about the ending, shocking.


I still am shocked. Nice chatting with you!


I do, it is my favorite genre. What about you?


I'll watch just about anything, but comedy is good to watch with the kids.


Agreed. It is better than being stuck watching 7500 episodes of pokemon.


I think one episode of Pokemon might be my limit.  Some one told me Common Sense media is a good way to find family friendly movies.


I have not heard of that. Is that a popular thing?


It's for families looking for film that everyone can enjoy without offence.  March of the Penguins 2 and that kind of thing, basically a ratings website.


Wow That seems like a good idea. Have you ever used it?


I father of one of my sons friends told me about it.  I'm usually aware of what it is movies, and, somewhat permissive, with what the kids can watch so I have not.  They might say Ghostbusters is too scary, but I just let the kids watch it.


Hi, I love video games and tv. I really could play all day if I had the time. lol Do you like tv?


Yes, that is true. I know that Alec Baldwin and Ringo Starr are two of the main characters. It gives the adults some entertainment fun also. I like the variety.


It was very well written too and child friendly at the same time which is pleasant.


Yes, exactly. Even though George Carlin is a voice actor, he knows how to keep it clean for the kids show.


Its really interesting that he decided to be part of Thomas. Its also really surprising that Ringo was a part of it.


Yeah, epic group of voice actors coming together. I think its funny that Tom Hanks brother is voice for Woody in the Toy Story video game, that is how similar that they sound. Kids don't realize.


As a kid you just dont realize how popular the people are that voice game characters. Stepehn Fry narrated for a variety of popular games  and many wouldnt even realize it.


Wow, yeah me either. I know that a game designer researched that we play 3 billion hours of games a week. Do you know who that was that researched that?


I believe the one that calculated that number was game designer jane mcgonigal. Thats a lot of hours.


although korean kids contribute to that number less since they cant play games past midnight.


Its actually illegal for kids under 16 to play games past midnight. its wild


Things are so different around the world


Cool. I remember when it was black and white and it was fuzzy at night or if the antenna moved a millimeter.


Those were some good days. I remember watching some old cartoons and trying to get my signal to work well enough.


Its so different now, lol. I am a fan of South Park and the SImpsons, too. When South Park aired its final Family Guy the producers of the Simpsons sent them flowers. They were buds,lol.


I watched those here and there but im more a fan of pokemon. At least as a kid i would watch it all the time.


Oh yeah, Pokemon made a ton of episodes, I think.


yeah they have over 750 as far as i know and they keep making more.


Oh man, that is a lot of episodes. I think its about 50 a year for 16 years, gesh! I liked Thomas the Train for my kid. We watch it a lot together.


It is a lot of episodes its amazing that they keep making more. Thomas is a really nice show. I think some popular people voice acted for it.


Hey there! Do you lie Pixar films? I just finished watching Up.


I've never watched the show! What is it about?


It is very complicated but it is set long ago on the fictional continents of Westeros and Essos. It is all about attaining power essentially!


That sounds like something I might want to watch in the future. I've been thinking about naming my future child Arya. Apparently, that's a character in the show! I guess it's the fastest rising baby name.


Yeah that is a really cool name. That show has done a lot. Ireland actually pays the series so that the film scenes boost tourism for Ireland.


Interesting. I've always wanted to see Ireland. I guess there are a lot of horses there, and I am interested in seeing them.


Yes and it is also very green and beautiful. You would definitely like the Show Game of Thrones because there are a lot of horses in the show.


I'll have to check it out sometime. Are you interested in horses as well?


Yeah I have rode horses quite a bit. They are very unique and loving animals. However I never rode a horse to school like those two high school students who got suspended that one time.


I have heard about that. Did you know that Clint Eastwood is allergic to horses, even though he has been on horseback for many of his movies?


That must've made work a bit harder! Have you ever ridden a horse with a fifth speed like the Icelandic horses have? It is called Tolt.


Yeah I love Pixar films. Up is a good one. I think it's cool that Pixar studio has a secret room that is often visited by celebrities.


I have not. I've ridden Lipizzaner horses, though. They're known for their classical dressage performances.


Very cool. Apparently they are born black or brown and take about six years to turn completely white. It was nice chatting with you see you later.


Yeah for sure! I just heard about that room a few days ago. Speaking of Disney, do you like the movie Aladdin?


Yeah Aladdin is one of my favorites and I am looking forward to the remake. I really enjoyed Robin Williams in the original.


Me too. I miss him making films. I guess he started the trend of celebrities performing voices in animated films. What a legend.


Very much a legend. Rest in peace Robin. Celebrities make so much money. For example judge Judy makes $123,000 per episode.


That's crazy! I don't even watch Judge Judy. Celebs make too much, I think.


Yeah I think we should put our priorities in different things not just celebrities. But some celebrities do good like that celebrity TV chef in Ethiopia who is trying to combat his countries hunger problem.


That's super interesting. Its crazy to think how much celebrities and pop culture influences our lives. There's this show called Game of Thrones that everyone is talking about.


Oh yeah I love that show. I am so excited for the finale. There is even a National Geographic show that is like Game of Thrones except with lions.


Hi. Do you use facebook?  Did you know it was launched in 2004?


I remember it but I never joined. Where you on it?


yeah for a little... did you hear that they had a chance to buy facebook for 75 million back in 2005?  Dummys!


Oh, that's terrible for them! I bet the owners kick themselves every day for that one lol!  You know what is a little bad about facebook?  Anyone claiming to be at least 13 years old can sign up.  That means, my 10 year old niece can lie and get an account.


oh yeah, i know and have seen it done!  They are very enethical, which is crazy!  Because in this country today, everyone overreacts to the smalles of things... Yet, facebook is still up.


That's because a lot of people are  nosey and  feed off of drama-even fake drama.  Otherwise they'd be marching in the streets complaining about how bad it is.  Zuckerberg and friends were really genius in developing it.  I heard they started it at harvard and then branched out to other schools at first. I wonder how they got the other schools on board.


EXACTLY!  We have truly become a narcissistic nation and it's sad and nobody really realizes and Facebook does not help!


You are so right!  Facebook just makes a profit off of it. They say they make most of their money off of advertisements so think about all of the companies paying to be on facebook because they know how people are and they want to profit too.


Yup... and the same companies are the same ones banning actors because of their opinions


That's so true!  Basically it's all about money, any way they can get it.  I mean, facebook had the largest valuation to date for a newly listed company when it went public.


Yeah i know.  This stuff frustrates me!  And i bet Zucherburgh is an aweful person in real life too!


Who knows, he might be.  I do know's he's partially colorblind/


Mark Zuckerberg and some friends of his.  They were all students at Harvard at the time.  It was launched on February 4, 2004.  Seems like they should have had some sort of celebration on facebook Monday to celebrate.


Yeah, well!  Facebook is in trouble isn't it?


If you mean for not doing a celebration I suppose but if you mean something else I don't know.  As far as I know it's doing well.  It is valued at over 100 billion dollars.


Yeah, but they sold facebookers private information


Oh yeah!  That's right! They sure did! I forgot about that.  They are in trouble.  Perhaps countries will be like the german state of schleswig-holstein and make things about facebook illegal.


I think we should!  I don't like facebook... or i like to call it... FAKEBOOK!


I liked it when I first joined years ago but not so much now. Now it's gotten to be somewhat depressing and full of drama and yes, a lot of fake status updates.  Maybe Burger King should have another promotion about unfriending people and getting a free whopper!


Oh really... that's awesome!  I did not know about that.  REmember mySpace?


Thats a good possibility. Its kinda scary to think about actually.


On the bright side, we no longer have significant amounts of body hair!


LOL Wow yea and also Humans will regrow a rib equally as strong as the original within only 2 - 3 months of having it surgically shortened.


I wonder why you would want to surgically shorten a rib?


True very true Im sure theres gotta be some reason


Did you know there is a frequency that causes fear in humans, I wonder if they use it in horror films?


No I did not know that I would hope not. Wow. Can you imagine?


I would bet that the movies that really scare us have the frequency.


I tend to disagree but that sounds like something the government would be doing


Speaking of governments, did you know that all highways in Japan are tollways?


I enjoy science, I was just reading about the Earth, Humans, and Travel


No but its been good talking to ya . Bye


yes did you know that About 71% of Earth's surface is covered with water, mostly by oceans


That is interesting, it is amazing that we have all that water that we can't drink.


I just learned that when the Earth was first formed, a day was only 5.5 hours long.  I wonder why it has gotten longer?


Hmmm I wish I could explain. but even to scientists the earth's interior is a mystery


What's really crazy is that the United Nations now has an official ambassador to extraterrestrials, what would you think of that job?


Thats wild. Almost all animals and plants synthesize their own vitamin c, but humans cannot because the gene for this enzyme is defective


I wonder if it every worked correctly and we used to be able to synthesize the vitamin....appraently we are running out of helium, which may or may not be a bad thing.


that is a lot of people. did you ever see the monive godfather 1?


I have seen that movie, it is one of my favorites, what about you?


yeah me too. the cat in that movie was a stray that was found on set


oh thats nice, do you like insects at all? I guess people will raise them for food


I am not a fan. do you know much about gold bugs?


haha no tell me about them, I do know about lightning bugs, I guess they are close to 100% efficient


the gold bugs breathe in disslved gold and excrete it in solid form


wow that is cool I want one! did you ever see a rolly poly? I guess theyre more related to lobsters and not bugs


that is cool. there is a massive highway in the sky of bugs


haha that sounds crazy, have you heard of the photuris lightning bug? they can actually mimic the blinking of other bugs to atrract and then eat them


hey, they are ok but I must I I prefer dogs, what about you?


how creative. and there is a wasp that turns ladybugs into zombie babysitters


haha that is scary, I do love Bill Murray and apparently he played the human torch on the radio back in the 70's


I like them both. In Japan they have cat cafes


haha that's funny, cats are robust though they have not had a cat extinction in over 10,000 years


yeah they are good at that. if they live to 15, they would have slept for 10 of those years


wow that is wild, what is sad though is white cats are like 85% likely to be both deaf and have blue eyes


yeah, I had a white persian once and she was deaf, but so gorgeous


oh nice, ya I always had dogs, would you ever own a glow in teh dark cat? I guess they exist


wow. and the major of a town in alaska is a cat


ah interesting, kind of scary though that 86000 people go to the hospital every year due to tripping over their cat or other pet


Hey do you live in Washington DC? Apparently they're expecting a mix of rain and also light snow


That is crazy! I wish that we could harness some of the sun's energy, one second of energy would actually power our whole planet for  500,000 years


Yea, I wonder how long it would take people to figure out how to harness the Sun's energy like that


Yep that would solve a lot of problems. What do you think about neptune? apparently it takes almost 100 years to make a complete orbit around the sun


It's a shame that the person who discovered Neptune didn't get to see it complete a full rotation around the sun


Nope you're right. On a different note, what do you think about the company Amazon? They actually created a clock that was built into a mountain, I'm sure one day they will create a planet out of nothing LOL


It's weird Bezos would build a clock into a mountain, I wonder why he did so


Yes that wonder that too, I also wonder why he named a building after the first person to buy a product on Amazon, that was a weird thing to


Yea and the customer only spent 27.95 on amazon too


Yep not even a lot of money, what do you think about Amazon delivering on Sundays by the way? I'm glad they have that special contract with USPS


Yea that's cool but I wouldn't want to work in an Amazon warehouse and walk 7-15 miles per shift


I have family near there. Apparently there's another storm coming not to later after that one


No I wouldn't like that, but it would make me lose weight LOL. What do you think about IMDb being owned by Amazon, I never knew that before


Oh wow that's crazy. I know that I'm in Michigan is really cold right now but it's not raining or snowing. Well let them know that the temperature could dip into the twenties or low 30s


Yea it's pretty ironic that February was warm but March is gonna be cold in DC


Yep I agree with you. We need more sun! Did you know that our sun is actually white and not yellow?


Yea, I heard the yellow appearance is due to atmospheric scattering


Yep you're right. I also heard that a lightning bolt is five times hotter than the surface of the Sun, that seems insane because the sun should be incredibly hot


Yea but I can see how lightning is hotter than the suns service considering the surface isn't the hottest part of the sun


That makes sense then. What is crazy is that the diameter of the Sun is about 100 times that of Earth, that's so massive that it's hard to comprehend


Yea what's even crazier is the sun is only 1 billionth the size of the largest discovered star in our own galaxy!


What! That is the craziest thing I have ever heard about rap music.


haha like not only could you have a twin to do crazy pranks with, but also do rap albums, I'm gonna check that album out haha


Yeah I think I will as well that is just too funny.  Did you ever listen to Tupac?


I have heard some songs, what do you think I should listen to?


I would start anywhere to be honest.  All eyez on me is good.  I guess his music is in the library of congress.


ok great I'll check those out, do you listen to anything besides hip hop?


Oh yeah hip hop is not my usual.  I love 50's and 60's and anything elephant six I'm into.  How about you?


ya I like most music except for country, I just can't get into that twangy stuff haha but I would say mostly 80's classic rock is my favorite


Yeah I can do some 80's stuff.  I can only do like classic country myself lol.


Haha ya I don't know what it is about country, i just can't take it, like seriously haha


hi, I can't say that I'm a big fan but I do like some of it, what about yoU?


Lol, I don't think you're alone when it comes to that. Well it was nice talking with you today, I hope you have a good weekend.


thank you you too! I'll check out those tracks you sent over


I am a fan but mostly of early and mid 90's rap.  I think that is the best period.


Ya I like that period, a lot of new music doesn't really interest me. What do you think of Linkin Park? I think they're horrible.


Yeah I wasn't a big fan of them as well.  I guess one of their albums was the best selling of the 21st century.


Ya which I find like, crazy in a bad way haha.


I just can't believe it as well.  I guess Reel Big Fish had to re-record most of their hits after losing the rights to them.


ya that makes sense its the smart thing to do so they still have control, I haven't heard of other artists doing that have you?


No that was the first time I have heard of that happening but I'm sure it has before.


I wish I had a twin, apparently two identical twins in japan made a rap album when they turned 100 years old haha


How's it going? Do you think sharks are interesting? I never knew they were related to rays


I don't know, I heard some sharks have rescued sailors like dolphins are known to do


I figured sharks would want a tasty meal, but maybe a friendship gives them a deeper sense of satisfaction. Sharks cannot live on meat alone. They need companionship on the high seas.


Well they have a lot of space to look for it, the earth is 71% water


So much water, but we can't drink most of it. Would you want to live under the sea, like Homer Simpson? You could make many shark friends.


Probably not, I love to live in the forest but unfortunately 80% of the earth's forests are gone


We can't blame that on the sharks, unfortunately. We done that. Not to spite the sharks, but still, we done it.


Yes hopefully something will be done to help restore the forests that have been destroyed by people


We've only got 20% left to go. Some people see that as a challenge to be met. The sharks are better at caring for their environment. The undersea forests are still going strong


Yea, polar regions covered in ice don't have to worry about sharks melting them


If the sharks meeting in the Pacific are planning something in anticipation of the magnetic field reversing, maybe the sharks know about the caps melting.


I have never met a shark that I didn't like. Personable, good at parties... Oh wait, that's dogs. Sorry. Don'T know much about sharks.


Maybe. Well I have to go, nice talking with you


I always thought they were pretty cool, and scary, apparently sharks evolved earlier than dinosaurs


Sharks have been around longer than the trees. Sharks have an ancient wisdom from deep within the waters. One day they might reveal it to use. They are like people. shy, sassy, social


Yea sharks are really interesting, they can even be trained to bark like dogs


Is that true? Barking sharks?? I wonder what that sounds like. I figure that sharks would not make much noise. New Yorkers are more dangerous than sharks. New Yorkers can bark, too.


There's a place in the pacific where white sharks gather, I guess it's a shark version of NYC


They're up to something. We should check that out. I've heard that sharks are ticklish. Do they tickle each other?


I don't know, I wonder if not having ribs has anything to do with sharks being ticklish


Sharks are sensitive types. In Indonesia, some fisherman have made them into pets. I wonder what pet sharks can do for fisherman


Are you familiar with what a Date Lab is?


I've heard it, but I don't think it is true.


Me either.  I read somewhere that there is a region of space that may be pulling galaxies outside the observable universe.


WOW! That seems crazy, who came up with that theory, do you know?


I forget who that was, but it's wild for sure.  Space is so vast, who really knows what's going on.  On a different note, do you like rap music?


I like some of it. Did you know Busta Rhymes voiced some characters in the Rugrats movie?


I did not know that. But, I do know that Tupac Shakur's music is in the library of Congress of " cultural significance".  California knows how to party...Lol


I can believe it. That was a pretty big deal when it came out. IF you visit the Library of Congress you will find all sorts of cool things.


I was shocked to find out that Eminiem's true dream was to become a comic book artist.


WOW! I didn't know that, what type of comics did he want to make?


Apparently, his favorite superhero was Spiderman.  He just took his talents in a different direction and made some pretty good music, instead.


YEah, that is interesting, he is pretty good. Nice chatting with you.


Apparently it is some service in Washington D.C. to match people on dates. Have you used it?


No, fortunately I'm married and not on the dating scene.  lol


LOL, I've never used it either. BTW, have you heard of the theory that the Universe might be one giant hologram?


Yeah, I have heard that the universe may be one superhologram.


That is a weird theory, I wonder who came up with it, Stephen Hawking?


I'm not sure, possibly could have been Stephen, he had alot of different theories.


Yeah, too bad he passed away. There are stars in the universe that are cold enough to be touched by hand.


Yeah, he was a good theorists.  That is cool about the stars you can touch, I didn't know that.  I have heard there is a theory out there that there is only one electron in the universe.  Have you heard that theory?


Yes that is in the US supreme court top floor


Yeah I wonder how many people get to play there


Yeah me too. Do you know what the name for the NZ basketball team is?


Yes they are called the tall blacks, weird


I know I wonder how that name still flies there


I do I like the old stuff from Tupac and Eminem and you?


Me too. Tupac's music is in the library of congress now for cultural significance


Yes, Eminem wanted to be a comic book writer originally


Yes. Have you heard of compliment battle?


I sure do. Do you know who Kareem Jabbar is?


Yes that is a form of rap popular in South Korea


He is the guy that used the dunk shot so much it got banned


Yes and for a good chunk of time, over a decade


Yeah. Do you know who invented the game?


That was James Naismith, he was a coach at U of Kansas


Yes and he is also the only losing coach in their history


How ironic, I guess he needed some time to perfect the game


I guess so. The coaches are the highest paid in many states


Yes Have you heard of the the highest court in the land


I had no idea that from 9pm to 12am, netflix accounts for 33% of all bandwidth in north america.


After racking up a $40 late fee on a vhs copy of apollo 13, reed hastings was inspired to start netflix


Awesome.  Do you watch much Disney? Disney used a special multiplane camera to make their older films like bambi more realistic


I do, that's very interesting! Do you have any other interesting facts?


Sure! Disney's big hero 6 was rendered using a 55,000-core supercomputer.


It would take over 9.4 million typical party balloons to lift carl's house, in the disney pixar movie "up"


That's a lot of balloons! The toy industry gets involved in disney animations even before the beginning of the film production.


thats awesome.  Well they gotta make money and advertise!  lol


The development of the disney animated film wreck-it-ralph started in the late 1980's, spanning nearly three decades and four working titles.


Wow,  I guess it was worth it though,  that movie was so good!


That makes sense,  everyone is home lol Netflix has a movie that is nothing but an hour long video of a fireplace - fireplace for your home


During the 70s, disney recycled a lot of their animation frames, resulting in identical scenes in some movies


Its been great conversating!  Have a good one.


I know right! In 2000 netflix proposed that blockbuster should use netflix as its online service and blockbuster laughed them out of the office


They lost a ton of money and then went out of business...


Yeah they did!  Im pretty sure they were offered to buy Netflix at one point.  So many missed opportunities.


Blockbuster declined several offers to buy netflix for $50 million. netflix is now worth $2 billion.


Thats crazy! Netflix has almost 150 movies available with a 100% rating on rotten tomatoes.


Netflix spends 20 times more on postage than bandwidth


In some european markets, netflix monitors illegal downloads to decide which shows to purchase.


Awesome!  If I ever climb it I'm going to snap a selfie and send it out to the internet!  lol


Just make sure you read the full terms of whatever platform you send it to.  Never know what you might miss!


I agree.  I don't want to be part of that 7 percent who doesn't read them!


Admittedly, I skim through it.  I mainly just look for pertinent phrases like "Give up your soul" or "harvest your organs." :)


lol  The current library of Alexandria has a saved copy of the internet in case the internet burns down.  Good thing they have a backup plan.  lol


Yeah, it is good, although I don't see how the ENTIRE internet could "burn" down... that'd be quite a feat!


I know right? lol  Do you watch fox news?


Yeah, sometimes, I honestly try not too watch too much of ANY news (except local channels) because it tends to be a bit depressing...


I don't watch it.  I was surprised to see though that it is watched more than CNN and MSNBC combined.  It's been fun chatting!


hey, you too, been great chatting with ya!


Oh, I listen to the news about them every now and then, but try not too get too carried away in celeb worship, you know?  How about yourself?


I don't really follow any in particular.  I was reading up on them just now.  Robin Williams in Aladdin was the first actor to start the trend of celebrities performing voices in animated films.


Yeah, I've heard about that, he did the famous voice of the Genie.  They got Will Smith portraying him in the upcoming live action version...


Nice!  I didn't know there was a new one coming out.  Judge Judy makes $124,000 per epidisode, making her the highest paid celebrity only after LeBron James.


Wow, that's a lot of money!  Wish I was a celeb so I could visit the secret room Pixar has that they often hang out at.... :)


I wonder what they are hiding in that room? lol


I won't even speculate!  LOL.  Do you use the Internet much?  I'm addicted to it.  It's just amazing how people and info from all over the globe is connected together!


I do use the internet all the time! lol  I also suffer from constant novelty from clicking links on the internet, which can cause real addiction measurable in the brain. lol


Yeah, it's that release of dopamine! It can be get quite addictive.  Heck, you know they even got 3g cell service and internet at MT Everest?


If you are ever in New York you should stop by Harlem. She puts on a free Jazz concert every sunday


Ok. I guess Pakistan has a jazz orchestra the is really doing well in the ratings. I'm surprised it's legal there.


I am surprised as well that it isnt causing more drama


What is your favorite movie genre?  Did you know Jim Carrey won't make dramas because they aren't positive enough.  I haven't seen much from him lately...


Maybe he should think of the word from a more historic point of view. It comes from the Greek word action


Michael must have.  He got into acting because the hot girls at his school were in drama class.  It worked out for him.


How do you feel about the show house? Hugh Laurie is the highest paid tv drama actor


It's decent.  I don't think it's worth those kind of wages.  I bet Aristotle got that kind of money back in 335 BC.


There is a website you can use for classic radio dramas. Wonder if any of Aristotles works are included


I doubt it.  One could probably find a lot more jazz -- maybe even Clint Eastwood playing the piano.


Not really but they are something of an American tradition.  They've been around since August of 1949.


I find it crazy how much players make just off shoe deals. Allen Iverson is still making 800k a year for a lifetime deal he signed with Reebok


They seem hung up on shoes.  When Air Jordans came out they were banned.  Jordan wore them anyway while Nike paid his fines.


It was really good marketing on their part. Look at those shoes now. Made Jordan a billionaire


Yes, but could he shoot "granny style"? Physicists have proved that it is the best technique for FTs.  I wonder if they considered it being blocked?


I really think some players should take advantage of it. Regardless of if it looks silly. Points are points


Yep.  Do you like jazz music?  Funny, goatees originated from jazz trumpeters because it was more comfortable when playing.


I consider jazz to be america's classical music.


That's a good way to put it.  It began in New Orleans in the early 1910s.


Drama will migrate more and more to video games, I expect. Do you play video games?


I do and let me tell you it already has. its almost like watching a movie now.


I don't play video games, but I can expect that film and games will merge and blend more. People like interactivity, but they want to be entertained as well.


we come a long way the Nintendo system could only display 54 colors.


54 colors is so few, but the game designs were solid. That's what made games on the NES fun. I think the newer systems are more powerful, but not necessary more fun.


Apparently in Caesars day great Britain breed chickens for entertainment.


The Britons must have had other sources of animal protein. Or they were easily entertained.


The highest paid actor ever for drama was paid 700,000 an episode.


Hugh Laurie is a legend, and he does a great American accent.


Ronald reagan was rejected for a role as president. go figure! have a good day.


I'm doing great! What forms of entertainment do you like?


Action, drama, adventure and comedy as long as it is in fact funny. you?


I prefer drama and comedy for films. I think Jim Carrey is wrong for eschewing drama. I think it's a form that can project positivity.


I agree! especially because he tried to do some serious stuff that wasn't comedy. Sunshine of a spotless mind was strange.


I never saw that, but I heard it was surreal.


Jon Hamm taught drama at his old high school. I believe one of his students was a man named Ellie Kemper who played in the office.


I guess Jon has the magic touch! He trains his students well. Michael Caine joined his high school drama club for the women. I understand that motivation, too.


Well theres a debate about what really makes the world go round, for men at least. 33BC was the earliest works of drama. they called it dramatic theory.


I know a lot of people are afraid of snakes but I like them. How about you?


What?! That's crazy. I did not know that. Have you heard of legless lizards?


Yes and to me they are basically a SNAKE! lol


Yes I would think that too but no they are lizards not snakes. Do you follow politics are political trivia at all?


Yeah, a little politics.  Mainly, to see who is bashing Trump today.


Did you know that the senate used the same gavel for 165 years? That was one durable gavel.


Yes, it was a durable one.  Do you know which senator holds the record for longest filibuster?


Strom Thurmond, speaking for 24 hours and 18 minutes.  I believe he could out talk my ex wife and that's hard to do!


Wow! That is impressive. Not a fan of his but that is a crazy long time to not even use the restroom.


Maybe you should live in New Zealand. Did you know they have no snakes?


That would be perfect, I hear that Australia has more venomous snakes than non venomous ones.


That is terrifying. Did you also know that there is a genus of snakes that can launch themselves at their prey?


Too scary, I'd hate to run up with one of them.  Don't get me wrong, I'm sure snakes have a purpose.


Well I certainly don't want them to launch at me. That would be unnerving. As someone who is afraid of snakes, did you know that people and monkeys have that feat hard-wired into their brains?


I totally agree with that.  I read somewhere that a man has been bitten so many times that his blood is able to be used as an antivenom.


Wow! That's valuable blood he has now. Were you also aware that crocodiles are more closely related to birds than snakes and lizards? That's very surprising.


That is interesting.  Did you know that when a snake is born with 2 heads, the heads fight each other food?


Hey there! Happy Friday! Let's get into it? Are you a fan of the president?


Hahahaha nicely done. I have no idea either. It's interesting the runner up used be the VP in the US. I kind of like that


That would make for a fun and happy white house. a paradise on earth.


Can you imagine a Trump Clinton White House? That would be even crazier than the circus we have now.


I think that there are reality show possibilities though. syndication? international distribution? dont underestimate its potential


Not going to lie.... I would watch. Their debates were awesome TV. That's the thing with Trump, I don't like him, but he's funny so he gets away with it. He cracked me up the other day when he called Tim Cook, the CEO from Apple, "Tim Apple"


He is good in front of the camera. do not underestimate his power to dominate the news cycle. like him or hate him, he is good on camera.


Agreed. He sucks you in and you listen to what he says, even if it's nonsense. At least he isn't releasing any pop albums like the president of Indonesia


I would think that trump could find some collaborators for albums. Kanye?


I don't think so, but at this point that wouldn't be surprise me lol. Anyway it was great chatting with you.


We had a great chat indeed. Have a good weekend!


yes, lets! I am not really a fan of the president.


Me either, but I don't particularly like the other side other. Did you before Trump the wealthiest three presidents were JFK, Washington and Jefferson?


Is trump the wealthiest? How much money does he actually have?


Well he personally values his own name as like 4 billion lol. But I think he's a billionaire based on his real estate holdings alone. The other three don't crack a billion even after adjustments for inflation.


I didnt know what the adjusted value would be. i dont know how they do the calculations exactly. frankly, i dont care if they are rich. i would rather have a regular person.


I think Jefferson and Washington both died broke and in debt. JFK got his family money from bootlegging lol. But I agree, I'd rather have a regular person or like a scientist perhaps.


I didnt know that they died broke. i guess they had money while in office. Probably better than president banana.


The first president of Zimbabwe? Do you know why they called him that?


It could have changed I suppose. Did you also know that the president of Indonesia released three pop albums while in office?


Wow I didn't know that, I wonder what kind of albums and how he find time?


It was pop albums. That's a good question. I can see before or after office but during seems odd.


Yes you are right, Did you know that every US president with a beard was republican?


I did not. How odd. I wonder if they are aware of that?


I don't think so, did you know there hasn't been a us president who wasn't republican or democrat since 1853?


That makes sense. We are definitely a two party system. I don't know for sure but I would wager that there were two other parties before that.


Yes, unless like some people they vote undecided, I forgot the proper name for voters that vote undecided?


As far as I know they just leave it blank or vote third party. Were you aware that 86% of the land in Nevada is government owned?


No, but I lived in Nevada for seven years, and parts of it nothing but desert land with nothing on it.


Yes I do, why are Americans so hard on president Trump?


Yeah I assumed that it was wasteland that was just protected lands.


Well I have my own feelings on that but I'd rather not get into it. Do you know who the three wealthiest US presidents ever were?


Yes I think so, Jfk, Washington and Jefferson, I think this is correct.


That is correct. Another interesting fact about presidents, do you know what the first president of Zimbabwe was called?


Yes, I pretty sure the answer is banana, I wonder where the name came from, sounds a little funny?


That is correct. I do not know but it is very funny. Did you also know that the guest house is larger than the white house? I wonder why they did that.


My opinion to have an excuse not to have too many guests in the white house, more room in the guest house so that's where they would stay, just my opinion.


Possibly. Did you also know that until 1805 the runner up in a presidential race became the VP. Can you imagine that happening now?


No, I didn't know that, I just google and find that the three richest presidents for 2019 is Trump, Washington and Jefferson.


Do you listen to Bluegrass music?  There's a hot album out that was recorded 60 years ago.


Probably The Big Bang Theory.  I like to laugh.  Did you know they did a UK version of the 70's Show but it bombed after 10 episodes?


Guess it didn't translate too good across the pond?  I like The Walking Dead.


I haven't seen that yet.  If you like Pokemon, you're in luck.  They made over 750 episodes.  Too bad I don't.
