I sure would like to be able to go back in time and see all of that. Would  be scary though. I used to watch gymnastics as a kid a lot.


What did you watch when you were a kid? I think it would be interesting to watch the one gymnast who had a wooden leg and won 6 Olympic medals back in 1904


I'd love to see that. As a kid I'd love to watch stuff like Saturday morning cartoons. I remember Garfield and Animaniacs were funny. I also have always liked cooking shows on TV. What about you?


Yes I like those shows too. I also like to watch Tiny Toons haha. I even watched Pokemon as a kid, did you know there are about 800 episodes of Pokemon now?


I never was into Pokemon on TV much. I remember the cards were really cute, but then I liked the Magic cards art better. I really like horror movies now. What about you?


Yes I like horror movies. I think Stephen King does a great job, it's funny to me that he considers Bambi to be a horror movie


That would be amazing to watch! I have a baby, it is funny watching her dance, apparently it comes natural to them


Very cool! Must be so fun to watch. Parrots are also able to dance but it seems to be more mimic than anything.


that is awesome, I want to see that. Do you know tupac?


Yes the rapper? I like rap! The worlds fastest rapper spoke 14.q syllables per minute!


For sure rap is awesome. Tupac used to dance ballet in high school. I think he was a better rapper though lol


Oh wow I would like to see that! Do you like big macs? McDonalds pays rappers $5 for every time they reference big macs!


No way, lets make a song and say big mac 1000 times in the song, you down?


So down! Big Macs for life! There is even a deaf rapper who raps in sign language!


That would be interesting to watch and learn. Very inspirational. Have you heard of korean rap battles?


No I didn't know they had rap battles. I think it's funny Koreans even rap since it was developed largely by African Americans.


Hey! Once in a while if I have enough to drink! It is beautiful with both aesthetic and symbolic value! you?


They have compliment rap battles lol, that would be fun to watch. It was so nice chatting with you, enjoy your Sunday!


Me too lol! I love dancing, I am michael jackson on the dance floor after a couple drinks!


Wow can you moonwalk? The first one ever recorded was in 1955!


I used to be able to. I always though Michael Jackson started it, but some tap dancer did, do you know who it was?


Yeah it was some guy named Bill Bailey. Michael Jackson definitely gets more fame for it though.


Wow, I will have to check it out lol. For sure, also Michael Jackson has a patent for his extreme lean he does


I would like to see what that device looks like that helps him do that,


For sure, I think it was in his shoes if I remember right. Do you have kids at all?


Not yet! But I would have them watch Mr. Rogers breakdance because that sounds funny and wholesome!


Hi there. Do you like the comedy genre? It's one of my favorites.


Yeah I used to watch it too! With over 750 episodes it must have been popular!


Too funny.  Never watched south park either.  My kids did. I guess I was wrong generation.


Yeah it was definitely a funny show but you had to be into that kind of thing. Demetri Martin became a comedian after he dropped out of Harvard Law School!


It surprises me the actors, comedians that quit education for TV carreers.  Ryan Stiles dropped out of high school.


Dang! It is also funny what brings people into acting. Michael Caine did it for the girls.


Or out of it.  Jim Carrey doesn't make dramas anymore.  He wants positive films.


Good for him. Thomas the Tank Engine was super popular too with so many celebrity voices narrating!


Ringo Starr, George Carlin and Alec Baldwin were some of the voices.


Yeah very cool. The Simpsons is also a classic show. Only one episode ever did not include Bart.


Their crew sent flowers to south park when they aired the family guy episode.


don't usually choose comedy film but am always up for a good suggestion.


Cool. Tv is cool because it is such a mass medium for entertainment and news.


Oh nice. Apparently 3rd rock from the sun is a good comedy show because it won a golden globe in 1997.


Now that I did watch and really enjoyed.  That was a good one.


Oh nice! I also like The Hangover which is technically classified as a bromantic comedy!


Never seen that one, or the other bromatic comedies.  That is a new genre for me. I will have to look for them to view.


Yeah some other ones in that category are Pineapple Express and Haroldand Kumar go to white castle.


I will look into them.  I'm still stuck on friends which was an all time favorite of mine.


Oh nice. Yeah that is an amazing show too


I never realized pokemon was a show on for 16 years.  Thought all kids did was trade pokemon cards.


I feel so bad for Queen Elizabeth. Her corgi had to be put down.


Yeah, I guess you're not supposed to read on a plane. It messes you up


Oh. I've never tried reading on a plane. But I have started to feel a little queasy if I stare out the window too long.


Speaking of reading, did you know the record for speed reading is 4,700 words per minute?\


No I didn't. That's a lot of words to process. I wonder how much of the info they actually retained.


Yeah probably. They should try measuring the person's reading comprehension


Exactly. I know when I have been really interested in a book I have read really fast to find out what happens. Then I end up reading a second time slower, so that I actually enjoy the book.


Did you know that in the 18th century there was a moral panic because too many people were reading novels?


Yes I heard about that. I guess they would have really freaked out today because of all the information we have access to.


I think the panic was over reading fictions works though. They'd probably like all of the actual information that is available today


I never thought of it like that. You are probably right. Isn't amazing how much information we have at our fingertips. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't look up several questions on the internet.


It is always sad when you lose one of your furry friends. I've had to do that a couple of times myself. It's a sad thing to have to do.


Yeah, same here. Computers were an incredible invention.


Yes they were. I spend way too much time on mine. Having said that I will say good night, and thanks for the terrific chat.


The Queen of England has had a corgi since 1944. Those dogs must've been very spoiled


Yes I imagine they were. But it is hard not to spoil your pets.


Did you hear about the Southwest disaster?


A jet engine blew out on a Southwest plane. One passenger was found dead


Wow that's scary. I used to love to fly, but today I have doubts as to whether they can afford to keep up the maintenance. Do you fly?


No. I've flown to India a few times in the past though. I got motion sickness and threw up


I'm sorry, that's really miserable. I also don't like going through the security lines that they have.


How's it going, do you follow the NBA, Out of the 30 teams my favorite is the Knicks


I didn't realize until recently that the Warriors were founded in Philly! They literally went from one coast to another! Have you ever visited the oracle stadium out there in the Bay Area?


Yea and the Warriors are about to move out of Oracle Arena to San Francisco soon too


Oh is that where the homeless people were made to relocate? That was awful!  Did you know Air Jordans were banned from NBA game?


Yea and Nike just paid the fine for Jordan wearing them lol


That's really not fair, because the NBA was basically sending a message that you can get away with cheating if you pay enough money to do so.


Maybe if they gave him an advantage but thanks to Nike Iverson was able to get a contract with reebok that paid him 800,000 a year


That's so much money, it makes me wonder how much money the person paying him that actually has. It's hard to believe the NBA has only been around since 1946. It's a fairly new sport, I guess.


I guess so, I wonder if Physicists will find a better shot to shoot from the line than the granny style shot


I think Psychologists better work on it, since the NBA players think the best way to shoot isn't cool enough! lol


I don't much, but I've heard of some players for NBA like LeBron James. Does he still play for the Lakers? Where are the Knicks from?


Maybe but Tim Duncan sacrificed money to stay in college and I've never seen him shoot granny style


Perhaps he's gotten a hold of research we don't know about. I think there's one NBA team in Canada, but I can't remember the name...I'll have to go search it. ttyl


The Knicks play in New York, the same city that the NBA was founded in 1949


That's really cool! I've seen Space Jam and I think there's gonna be a sequel with LeBron. That would be cool for kids to see.


Yea but I wonder if Michael Jordan will watch the new Space Jam with Lebron


I'm not sure...they should be friends but maybe not? I've heard the only celebrity to make more money than LeBron is Judge Judy. She's pretty popular, I guess.


Yea but even making 123,000 per episode Jude Judy doesn't come close to how much money Lebron has


I'm sure you've heard of Reggie Miller NBA Hall of Famer? Funny story about him...his sister was always showing him up in high school basketball with high scores!


Yea his sister was the best female basketball player, she scored 105 points in a game before


That's amazing! I wonder if their family plays basketball together, ever? I heard Steph Curry from the Golden State Warriors is having a hard time with injuries. I hope he can keep going as he donates to charity though playing!


How's it going? Did you know there is a programming language that are written in musical composition?


I wonder if she invited the Jazz Orchestra that currently tops the charts in Pakistan


Yea, it's real cool the same piano was used in Bohemian Rhapsody and Hey Jude


Thats really cool.  I still havent seen that movie,  I really want to,  It looks good.  I read there was a mysterious mute man that was found in england who could only communicate using a piano


That's pretty spooky, so is the abandoned piano climbers found on top of Britain's tallest mountain


Wow yeah that is spooky.  I think its also weird that Mozart and Haydn 's pianos were both made from the same tree


That's one legendary tree. Nowadays pianos can be made from aluminum and weigh in at 356 pounds


Yea, the piano was built for the Lounge of the Hindenburg airship


One of the first type writers was called literary piano lol


No I had no idea.  I dont even really know how that works lol


Well I got to go, nice chatting with you


That's above my pay grade but the programs end up have producing jazz-like harmonies


That's pretty cool, I never knew that. I did know Clint Eastwood is a huge jazz fan


Have you ever heard of walter white? He is a jazz musician who has a new album "breaking good"  lol


lol no, I wonder if he has played at the Harlem Woman's apartment that hosts jazz concerts


Oh yeah,  I dont know,  that wouldnt pay much for him though,  she hosts those concerts for free lol


Yea but top performers do stop by occasionally to play


I love amazon. I love the Fire TV, and Echo devices


So Imdb has been owned by amazon.com since 1998. Thats why its a imdb option on my firestick


It kinds of make sense when you're watching movies and TV through your Prime account, at the same time you can get all the background information on the show and its actors.


Yes it is very nice. Are you into clothes ? I never knew of apples clothing line


You probably have to wear it if you work for them.  I have to wear a lot of cloths this winter, I recall the hot humid days in DC, even a t-shirt and shorts seemed too much.


I also like the Rip curl line of clothes


That means nothing to me unfortunately.  I wouldn't like to work for that bullet proof clothing manufacturer, he shoots all his employees to demonstrate  the effectiveness of the clothing.


That is cool but scary. There is a store in alabama that only sells clothes, cameras, etc found in unclaimed baggage at airports


Not that keen on second hand clothing.  It about the one purchase I don't get through Amazon, feel the need to try it on before buying.


Ok, Do you like to read ? Cs lewis and tolkien held "you laugh you lose" competitions when reading terrible poetry


I read a fair bit, not Tolkien or Lewis though.  I don't really have as much time to read as I used to, actually worked in the book industry when I lived in DC, read a lot more then.


It seems you like Amazon.  Love might be too strong for me but it is a significant part of my life, shopping, entertainment, and now work.


It was nice talking with you. Time for me to read.


Well working at the warehouse is lots of exercise


I guess now you can lose weight with Amazon!  Do you have one of those echo devices they sell?


I have one but never hooked it up. I buy food from hole foods a lot


Don't live close enough to one to shop in a Whole Foods, not since they were bought by Amazon.  Used to live next to one in DC and used it all the time.


cool. I would love to see that clock that bezos built


He built his own clock?  With his money does it have lots of diamonds and expensive bling?


lol I would guess. It is nice when I get my packages on sunday.


Yes, I was shocked to get my first delivery on a Sunday?  With Amazon we might be able to never leave the house.


Did you find the first part of this kinda hard to read?  I thought it was somewhat emotionally upsetting.


yeah absolutely, have you ever played xbox?


Yes, I play it a lot in my free time, you?


yes absolutely what game do you like to play


football fantasy, auto thef and the likes.  YOu?


yeah i like them a lot did you know the army use xbox 360 controllers to fly uav spy planes


Do you know that there are controllers created for quadrilpegics so that they are able to play xbox 360 and other consoles


did you know that the army use xbox 360 controller to fly uav spy plane


I concur.  Shooting at innocent children is the worst crime ever


Yeah I can't imagine what it would be like to be in that situation.


I turned off my TV set when I saw these incidents because I could bear to watch them


Yeah that's kinda how I am with the news on TV it always seems to be negative stuff like what's mentioned in this article.


Yeah mostly Netflix not much public channels, do you watch TV much?


I used to but not now because I am quite busy.  By any chance do you know the 70's show was remade verbatim in the UK


No I did not know that did you know that star wars is the most successful film merchandising franchise


I knew they was a big success but not this success


That is partly how the cat in the opening scene of the Godfather was a stray on the set.


Yea there are a lot of cats, the only pet with higher numbers are fish


Kinda crazy, to think that there are that many cats in the world.


Theres a lot of cats and they are successful in many environments despite of 80 percent of the earth's natural forest being destroyed


I know for the short time humans have been on earth we have certainly destroyed a lot of the earth.  There wont even be any helium left at the end of the 21st centruy


I wonder what is causing the earth to be helium-free by the end of the century, i guess there won't be many ballons left


True, we should probably conserve that now.


Maybe the UN should try to do something about, sounds more important than appointing an official ambassador to extraterrestirals


I wonder if that position will ever be used.  I would feel somewhat silly telling people that is my job.


An extraterrestrial ambassador sounds like a sweet job, or a good bar story


Yea cats are awesome, in japan and taiwan they have cat cafes where you can have drinks and pet cats


You could win tons of bets.  Tell people you have the most outlandish job. Wins everytime


lol i guess so. Well i got to go, nice talking with you


That is pretty cool.  It is crazy to think that when a cat reaches 15 years old it has spent 10 years of its life sleeping.


Sound like the life to be able to be able to sleep 10 years out of 15 like cats too


They are pretty lucky that way.  There is a cat that is published, but only because a physicist listed him as the co author so he could write in first person.


Lol thats pretty cool but not as cool as Talkeetna Mayor Stubbs


Mayor Cat?  Hmm...  hed probably put nap time as mandatory.  I could get behind that.


He has been a mayor since 1997 so he has spent at least 10 years of his tenure sleeping


He probably has, that is crazy.  I wonder how that happened?


Maybe there is a large feral cat population up there


yep, i love the oldies. Crazy to think jupiter has such big radio waves we can hear them sometimes here.


I know, right? It's kind of crazy that planets can be picked up by AM radio.


did you hear that if the whole  history of earth was played 24 hours a day, humans are only 1 minute and 17 seconds of that!


I saw that. Amazing to think how far we've come in such a short time. Speaking of which, when Earth was first formed, the day was only 5.5 hours!


the earth has come so far since then, good chatting with you!


Yeah, it has. And to think it could go even farther. Did you hear that we have an official ambassador to extraterrestrials?


I'm not sure, but I know he was appointed by the United Nations.


I love watching television, it's my favorite


did you watch any of the south park family guy episodes?


I did. Did you hear that When south park aired its family guy episode finale the producers received flowers from the Simpsons crew


yea, that is funny, i also heard that everyone was scared to call family guy out and that is why south park got flowers


That is really funny. Have you ever watched the show Pokemon?


I used to love watching that show as a kid, I didn't miss any episode! you?


I saw some of the show, but definitely not all 750+ episodes.


dang, didn't know they had that many, maybe i skipped a few. Do you watch other shows?


Not really. Though I do listen to the radio quite a bit. How about you?


Did you know that the runner-up for the US President used to automatically become the vice-president?


It is healthy and economical.  I eat about 3 per week myself.  I am surprised that Trump is not one of our 3 wealthiest presidents.


True, I didn't know that about Jefferson, I did know he was the president to implement the National Park system, which i'm very thankful for.


I agree.  When I lived in Texas, I learned that when the country of Texas joined the US, the US would not take over the national debt, so Texas kept all of their parks.  The found so much oil on them that it really paid off for Texas.


That's where i'm at.  I'm pretty surrounded by National Forest land, which is nice and quiet!


The lack of state income tax is primarily due to oil on state lands.  You get one barrel out of every 6 for royalty where normal property owners only get 1 of 8.


yes, I didn't know that President Roosevelt was a conservationist and wouldn't allow any Christmas trees to be put in the white house, because of that.


That is interesting.  I wonder who took the solar panels off the George W Bush put back on.


I don't know, I think it's crazy that when the gunman riddled the whitehouse with bullets in Nov, 2011, the Secret Service didn't even realize it for up to 4 days! Scary.


I could understand that.  It would take some pretty sophisticated sensors to know that a bullet just passed a certain point and struck a wall.


I would think that there is armed guards outside the whitehouse though, that would hear the shots?


I never knew that, did you know that the president of Indonesia released 3 pop albums while he was president? Crazy.


I think they knew there were shots, they just did not know where the bullets went.  Guess I will go now.  Bye.


The presidency and fame from other sources have been merging in the last few years.


The guest house on the whitehouse property is bigger than the white house itself!


That makes sense.  It is probably a newer building.  It has more stories as well.


I haven't seen it, I didn't even know there was one on the whitehouse property.


I think it is called the Blair House.  It is where a new President resides for a few weeks before the inaguration.


Oh ok, I do remember hearing that and it makes sense now.  I see that the 1st president of Zimbabwe was called President Banana, do you reckon that was his name?


I cannot imagine why that happened.  I did read that a banana is the item sold most frequently by WalMart.  It sounds like an insult to me.  I would not want to be called that.


I bet it is the most sold item at WalMart, I go through about 20 a week just by myself, being Vegan!


Hello, have you ever experienced a hurricane before?  I have.


The island's name is Mackinac island.  I guess those that live there like that way of life.


Good for them. Did you know there are over 750 episodes of "pokemon." that's about 50 a year for 16 years straight.


Wow, that seems like an awful lot of shows.  Alot more than "Days like these" which was cancelled after then shows.


yes that is crazy because there were so many episodes of That 70's show, the American version.


Yup.  Something else that I find interesting is that only dogs and elephants are animals that point instinctively


Google prefers dogs to cats. their code of conduct specifically states that they are a dog company. Do you have any dogs?


No, two cats, two kids, and one wife.  No dogs, but do find it interesting that dogs can see as many different colors as people can.


Yes that is interesting. I have one dog. Do you watch the Simpsons? I think it's crazy there is only one episode of "the simpsons" where bart neither appears, nor is mentioned


I used to but don't anymore.  Yes, Bart was a mainstay in most of their shows.  I bet they sold alot f advertising over the years during the Simpsons..


I bet they did, especially new televisions. Until the early 2000s, these were transmitted as analog signals, but a transition to digital television is expected to be completed worldwide by the late 2010s.


I haven't, which one have you experienced?


Very interesting fact.  It's been a pleasure chatting with you.


A few, but the biggest was Super Storm Sandy a few years back.  the eye went right over my house.  I also experienced Hurricane Florence more recently.


Dang that's crazy. How about that couple where Hurricane Florence made them move their dream beach wedding in North Carolina’s Outer Banks to a ballroom in Beltsville, Md?


Yup, I heard about that.  I live about an hour and a half north of Beltsville, MD.  It's a shame because the Outer Banks are very nice.


I've never been to the east coast besides Florida if you consider it. I flew out of Florida before last year's hurricane a couple days before it hit.


How did you travel to Florida, by airplane I presume?  did you know the Dutch are working on a commuter bus that can travel 160 mph.


By Airplane yes. Yes I saw that. I didn't realize All of japans highways are tolls, and it costs more than 300$ to travel across the country.


I guess there isn't much traveling in Japan huh.  those tolls are expensive.  There is one island that has banned motorized vehicles for over a hundred years now.


I'm sure that's a nice relaxing island to be on, but I don't know about traveling with horse drawn carriages.


howdy there how are you doing today? has it been a good day for you? do you feel like a superhero?


no i have not. it sounds cool. does it look like something from batman? what city is it in?


I'm sure of the city and yeah a resemblance of the tower in batman.


that sounds really cool. i should visit oz someday. what other kinds of entertainment do you like?


NFL games, legally they are considered entertainment as the WWE is.


that is interesting. that is not what i thought at all. i thought it was a sport since the outcome is not known before hand.


Yes, I did too. Another name for female superhero is super heroine! who knew?


do you have a favorite superheroine? wonderwoman? supergirl?


Cat Woman! and you who is yours? If they had made Batman with Bill Murray ad Eddie Murphy I would expect to laugh. I just look at Bill Murray and he makes me laugh!


the man is a comic legend. he was going to become a doctor but blew it and ended up in comedy. anyway, great chat!


I agree! There are 30 superhero movies coming between 2016-2020! Have a great day!


Yes, I do! lol How about you today? Are you a Batman fan?


I do like batman. he was an orphan. he had a tough life.


That is true.He grew up and became a true hero! Who was your favorite Batman?


um, which ones were there? michael keaton, val kilmer, george clooney...


Yes, I was thinking of those three also. Michael Keaton is my favorite! Michelle Pfeiffer is my favorite catwoman!!


she was great. that suit must have been tough to put on though. ouch. she was really sexy though.


Her face was perfect for a cat! Did you know Dark Knight and Dark Knight Rises made over 1 billion worldwide.


did not know that. i guess that the world has a hunger for superhero films. the dark knight. was that chris nolan?


That's right he was, he was good also. Have you seen pictures of the tower in Australia called Gotham Tower?


I so, Laurie made $700 000 per episode on that


Yeah that is a lot of money but the show was very popular


I love him. DO you know why he does not make dramas anymore?


Yes he does not because they do not portray positivity


SOmetimes, there is a free website for them . DO you use your phone much?


Al the time actually. Do you know why the NY area code is 212?


Yes they used rotary phones before and that was the quickest number to dial


Me too. Did you know Stephon Murray promoted some chap shoes for free?


Yeah they retail for $15 so wonder why he did that


Yeah. Did you know ballet dancers use 4 pairs of shoes a week


That must be expensive too. Did you know 5000 year old shoes are better than nowadays


yeah that is amazing. DO you know how to keep the shoes fresh?


Yes you can out teabag in them and it absorbs the odor


Yeah he leaves his cleats in the field after the game to raise awareness for homelessness


I figure that it was a design choice to reflect the coolness of the site. a subdued color, easy on the eyes.


I thought it was like a marketing strategy but no, its because Zuckerberg suffers from a form of colorblindness


He is rich now. he could fund research to find a cure. or create a cyborg to upload his mind into.


That would be crazy, I guess he has the money and can do it Facebook is worth more than $104 billion dollars now


Yes, he could create a fine cyborg,with perfect vision and laser vision. He could buy myspace and shut it down.


He can do all that yeah, I bet MySpace will regret not buying Facebook then or maybe even now


oh, gosh, i bet many companies regret not buying these companies. Who has succeeded? netflix. facebook. there are others.


Many others indeed, they started out as small companies but then succeeded beyond belief I bet the creators of those companies didn't saw that coming either.


no one could have seen it. i would have made the same mistake as myspace. oh well. i wish i had bought that fb stock.


Yeah so changing the subject a bit did you watch the movie Incredibles 2?


I do, I subscribe to the service what about you?


I did not see it. i heard good things about it. anyway, i gotta go. great chat!


I liked it, it was a great movie I also liked the first part back in 2004 anyways its been good chatting with you as well, have a nice night.


I do not use facebook. i am concerned about privacy. do you worry about it?


I do, I worry about my kids and their usage of the social media, I think there are a lot of dangers out there


Yes, they are not old enough to recognize the long term threats of putting your lives out there for everyone.


I have an account because a lot of my family and friends live far away and its a great way to keep in touch with them


Yeah, it can be good that way. i think as long as you control and monitor what you do with the account, you can minimize risk.


Yeah I guess so, there are a lot of filters and also parental controls options, interesting how Iceland is rewriting their constitution using FB


iceland is taking a bold step. i would worry about hackers getting in their to skew the constitution to free ice cream every thursday or something.


There's a lot of wrong opinions out there but I guess its a good thing they take the opinion of the people into account. Do you know why Facebook is mainly blue?


hey there do you use a phone or cellphone


ah thats a good point, did you know if you dont' use your cell for a day then unicef will donate a day of clean water?


That is amazing,  although I never heard of that company,  is this something that is still going on?


ya it is, I should get in touch when them I think its a great idea


Thats great,  well I guess you will have incentive not to use your phone a lot.


haha yup you're right! do you use a mac or a pc computer?


oh ya I have a pc, it has 16gb of ram, I guess the space shuttle only has 1mb haha


well the russians made a cpu out of water, that thing must be really slow haha


ya I need to see a picture, also I want a picture of someone uploading their mind into a usb drive haha


wow that sounds like an episode from black mirror.  Been good talking to you. Have a good one.


yes I use a cell phone, crazy that my phone has more cpu power than the nuclear missle system in the usa


haha I agree, have you ever seen two phone books put together, page by page?


if you take two phonebooks and have their pages overlap, basically they can't be separated, don't know if you've seen that before


No I have never seen that before.  That is weird.  Did you know 212 is the ny area code because its the fastest number to dial on a rotary?


haha yes I think that is the number 212 correct? I wonder why it wasnts 121 haha


Probably because dialing  first would mean you were calling long distance.


Did you know that Netflix spends 20 more times in postage than in bandwidth I wonder why!


Yeah, I thought it would be the other way around!


I thought that as well, I guess they still have the renting option. Have you gone to any good concerts lately?


No I have not, although Abba turned down 1 billion dollars to do 100 concert reunions.


1 billion dollars really? how can they turn down an offer like that one.


I agree, I would take that offer even if it was just one million dollars!


Yeah even for half a million dollars or even less, I love money, so what is one tour.


I believe that it is a trip around the world where you do a bunch of concerts. The foo fighters had such a loud concert that it became a seismic reading.


Woah, that concert must had been really load, Pink Floyd had a concert with no audience once. It was great chatting with you by the way.


Yeah, it was nice chatting with you too!


I watch netflix all the time. What about you? Do you use netflix?


I do like to watch it im one of the 59 millions of subscribers in the USA


Ah, well I am also one of them. Netflix has almost 150 movies with a 100% rating on rotten tomatoes.


Sounds like it has great movies in the site, did you hear about how Reed Hastings got inspired to create the site?


Wasn't it because he had to pay 40 or so dollars on a late dvd?


Yeah he got so mad he got inspired to create the Netflix service.


Netflix offered to be sold for around 75 million but block buster rejected the offer. I bet that they sure regret that now!


$75 million, that is a lot of money but nothing compared to the $2 billion the company is worth now.


Yep, and when netflix proposed the blockbuster that they should use netflix, netflix was laughed out of the office of blockbuster, I bet that they regret that now!


Good morning!  Have you ever heard of the game called cricket?


I loved those movies.  Carol Burnett was the first celebrity to appear on Sesame Street.


Judge Judy makes a lot of money per episode, she receives 123,000 per show.


Nice!  Have you ever heard of the celebrity TV chef from Ehtiopia who believes he can combat his country's hunger problems by encouraging everyone to eat more diverse foods?


I have not. there is a secret room at Pixar studios that celebrities like to visit.


I have't heard of him either.  lol  I wonder what they keep in that room?  Did you know that Unicef will donate a day of clean water to a child in need for every minute you do not use your cell phone?  Sounds like a good thing to do.


I did not, lets talk about the Telephone next. The reason why New York's area code is 212 is because when they used rotary phones it was the fastest number to dial.


That's an interesting fact.  It's impossible to separate 2 phonebooks that have their pages overlapped together.  I don't think I've used a phone book in years now since I have had a cell phone.


I would think they would be huge, but the cables used on the ocean floor are only 2.7 inches in diameter


I'm surprised one of the cables haven't been pinched by a lobster.  An iphone has more computing power than the entire US nuclear icbm deterrent.


interesting, the cables not only carry phone data but they also carry internet.


I have, It is a game played by two teams with eleven players on each team. They use a ball and a bat to play the game.


Nice!  Australia have won 45% of all cricket World Cups!


they have also been in 63% of all the finals and have won 71% of those appearances.


Awesome!  The longest match in cricket history took place in 1939.  Do you know who the two teams were and for how long it lasted?


I do, it lasted 14 days and was played by South Africa and England.


Whew.  That has to be one of the longest games of all time.  lol  There is a pro indian cricket player named Napoleon Einstein!


interesting. There used to be a team from Compton and they won the British cup twice.


What are the odds of that?  Do you follow any celebrities?


Some, lets talk about celebrities next. The movie Aladdin and robin Williams started the tread of voices being performed by celebrities.


hi how are you? do you listen to the radio?


i wonder what the average age of the listener is. the kids love video. probably not interested in audio much.


Or classical latin, I'd hate to listen to the news program Nuntii Latini which is exclusively broadcasted in it


who listens to the news in latin? there must be dozens of listeners! LOL


I don't know, must be a Finland thing since it's been broadcast since 1989


I guess there must be a demand if it has been around that long.


I guess so, it sucks US radio doesn't play much of the classics anymore like Dark Side of the Moon, it was still a best selling album in 2014


Yeah, that was a great album. Have you tried the Dark Side of Oz?


I haven't checked that one out yet, sounds like it will be good.


Dark side of oz: put on wizard of oz, then start dark side at a certain point in the film as the soundtrack. Anyway, great chat!


Lol, sounds trippy, I though it was an Ozzy album not Pink Floyds. Have a good one


Yea I enjoy listening to AM radio, I never knew you could pick up Jupiter's radio storms with it though


I think you can pick up solar activity too. i dont listen to the radio now. i did when i was a kid.


Yea I don't like the music they play but at least I don't live in Canada where the law requires the stations to play 40% canadian music


the govt wants to protect the local bands. everyone knows Rush and Neil Young. but what about the internet? the govt cant control that.


Nope, they can't stop you from making a radio with a razorblade and pencil diode either like the WWII soldiers made


that sounds impossible, but i guess the soldiers found a clever way to make it work.


Yea it's pretty cool, so is the website that streams classical radio dramas for free


i bet those old dramas had some pretty good writing. no visuals meant they had to do voice work and writing.


Well they must be good if their is still demand to listen to the old radio dramas, even if it's for free
