I know they do have a gym, and RGB works out in it with a trainer.


Not a fan-fan, I watch it if someone else is.


Really. Well, they need it I'm certain, reduces stress and all and keeps them in shape for basketball!  Great chatting with you!


I'm not myself though I have been to some professional basketball games.  I've never been to a game the Golden State Warriors played in though!


I've never been to a game, too expensive.


Yeah, I know they always have been I had a boyfriend who scored free tickets!  So Stephen Curry of the Golden State Warriors seems like a good buy providing mosquito nets to people in Africa.


Really? That's awesome he does that. I liked his letter to the little girl.


Oh, I haven't heard about that, what did he say?


She wanted to know why his shoes didn't come in girls, and he said he would fix that.


That was sweet.  I hope he did it!  Did you know although the 'granny style' of shooting from the line is the best to score NBL players refuse to do it because 'it looks stupid'!  LOL


I did not, I also didn't know that Nike paid Michael Jordan's fines for wearing his own shoes.


Haha, true! Dogs can also donate blood at blood drives. Not sure how I feel about that though, doesn't seem they can really consent.


True, but the dogs probably would like to help if they could. usually dogs are pack animals. they look out for each other.


That might be why we love them so much. Google even prefers dogs to cats and says so on their code of conduct.


I think that dogs are pretty good for the office. People pet dogs and their mood improves. I would love to work in an office with a dog.


I guess we have the 1908 Model T to thank for being able to commute easily. But Karl Benz was the one who invented what's considered the modern car.


Every car maker owes a debt to benz. Ford made the car available to the common man.


Cars were adopted really fast in the US though they took a while to get accepted in other parts of the world. Glad we don't have to travel by horse and carriage anymore.


Yes, there were tremendous problems with manure in cities. It was a pretty smelly problem. Anyway, great chat!


Me? Sure! I love dogs! By the way, how are you?


Nice chat! Time for me to take a drive, I guess!


Good, thanks! Dogs are so smart. They are the only animals besides elephants that can naturally understand pointing.


I think dogs understand quite a few words too. smarter than chimps in many ways.


And they arent color blind as I was once taught!


I thought they were colorblind too. I guess that they see some colors, which makes sense. they have great ears and noses too.


Apparently they can see as many colors as we can. Do you think that's true?


that sounds funny. it think the visual cortex of humans is far more developed. maybe we have been resolution? i dont know.


Ah, that could be right! In Istanbul you can get food for strays by recycling bottles at a vending machine. Pretty interesting.


I think that was a clever idea. it was good to get the dogs involved in keeping the city clean. plus they get fed!


No matter where you are, Spring is a beautiful time of year!


Hmmmm....I think that would be ugly.  I prefer the colors we get here on Earth!  Did you know that the sun is actually white?  It looks yellow from here because of the atmosphere.


I think I remember hearing that somewhere.  Helium was discovered on the Sun before it was discovered on Earth.


You must be a scientist.  I never paid attention to stuff like that!  I do know that the sun is tiny compared to the biggest star discovered in our galaxy!  But compared to Earth, it's huge!!!!!


You sound smart as well.  The sun is so big, it makes up almost all (99.86%) of the mass in our solar system.


Yes, hard to imagine!!!! And it's even harder to imagine that a lightening bolt is actually hotter than the surface of the sun!!!!!!


It is, wow.  I know it has about 330,000 times more Mass than Earth.


Pretty huge!  Speaking of huge, can you believe that cables carrying phone and internet data actually cross the oceans???? That's a wonder to me.  Imagine the work to lay those cables, and they are only 2.7 inches in diameter!!!!


I don't know how they do that. The sun is nearly a perfect spear.  It is made of hot plasma.


Hot plasma!  I can't imagine!  I like it here on Earth where we can enjoy the seasons, flowers blooming,  and the good effects of the sun!


We get all the benefits. The equator of the sun rotates faster than its poles.  This means the sun does not rotate as a solid body.


Yes it is.  Are you an animal fan?  Did you know that horses, as well as sharks and orangutans are ticklish?


Hmmmm....that's interesting.  I didn't know that.  So does that mean it's moving all the time?


I sure didn't know that!!!  I thought only humans were ticklish.  I do love animals. I love seeing them in the wild.


I do as well.  14.9 horsepower is the peak power output of an individual horse.


I guess that's a lot.  LOL  I don't know those kind of facts!  Were you aware that Icelandic horses have a fifth speed-----basically speedwalking!  Imagine that!  They are pretty fast!


I didn't know that.  I did know that once a horse from Iceland leaves, it can never return.


Really?  That's interesting!  I really like horses, but I've never owned one.  I think the Lipizzaner horses are beautiful.  They are born black/brown and take 6 years to turn white.  I think that's incredible!


That is an interesting fact.  So is the fact that sunlight directly affects the lenghg of horse hair.


I didn't know that!  So maybe all horses should have longer hair? LOL  The sun is also incredible!  Did you know that its energy in one second is enough to meet the needs of Earth for 500,000 years?????  That's a lot of energy, right?


I did not know that.  I did learn that the sunset on Mars is blue.


The New England Patriots and the Philadelphia Eagles have the best chance of winning the super bowl


This seems kind of unrelated, but did you know that New Orleans Saints cheerleaders are not allowed to eat at the same restaurant as any NFL players? They are even required to leave the restaurant if a NFL player comes in!


That's weird, I did not know that. It seems old fashioned.I like random facts, did you know that Kellan Moore is the only lefty quarter back.


Here is another random fact: the Buffalo Bills have the same amount of super bowl losses as the New England Patriots.


Did you know that Russell Wilson still has a current MLB contract and hasn't played since 2011.


Did you know that the circular huddle that is used all the time in football today was created by Paul D. Hubbard, who was deaf, so that the other team wouldn't be able to see his hand signals to his teammates.


No I did not know that, that is really interesting. Back to Russell Wilson he is one of the two only African-Americans quarterbacks that have won the Super bowl.


Did you know that women aren't actually not allowed to play in the NFL? There is actually no rule against them playing! They would be allowed in if they could meet the league's pretty difficult eligibility requirements.


Interesting maybe someday. Did you know that the super bowl winning quarterback Brad Johnson, threw a touchdown pass to himself. And he is the only one to do so. I wonder how that play looked.


That would be interesting to watch! Back to the super bowl. It seems like the Patriots have the best chance of winning it, yet again, despite Tom Brady's average going down.


Yay go Patriots!!!! I really hope they win, and wonder if he will retire if they do. I would if I were him. He has had a good run and I would want to go out on a good note! Besides kickers he is one of the oldest players in the game.


Yes they both have a 4 to 1 odds of winning. But we shall see who gets to the Super bowl.


I completely agree! Tom Brady should go out on a good note winning the Super Bowl!


New England has better odds at 26%, and the Eagles starting quarterback suffered a knee injury which puts him out for the season.


I am a Pats fan but Tom Brady is getting old. His passer rating is 81.6 and is his lowest in 6 years.


The Jaguars might have a chance, with Calais Campbell


Yes they have really turned around from last season. They only had 3 wins last year.


The Falcons were ranked 7th in the 2017 season, and only the Patriots and the Saints had more yards gained per offensive drive.


Did you know that the puts tracking chips in players shoulder pads to track their movement on the field.


No, I didn't know that. Did you know that the quarterback touches the ball on almost every offensive play?


Yes except for special teams or some tricky plays.


Yeah they bought google in 2006 for 1.65 billion. I'm sure that helped.


Hah! Justin Bieber has the second most disliked video on youtube


Yeah i can believe it. Do you watch Netflix?


I do more than i should! Netflix and youtube together make up half of the peak time internet traffic in north america.


Tons of streaming! Apparently police have a video channel called Bluetube


I guess that would be like Cops, lol. Do you ever listen to rap?


Honestly no lol. I do find it hilarious that busta rhymes voiced the reptar wagon in the rugrats movie.


I did not know that. neither did i know that Tupac's music was in the library of congress.


No idea, though I understand he was extremely talented.


More frequently than I should. How about you?


Yeah and Emeniem originally wanted to be a comic book artist. Do you know who his favorite super hero character was?


Same here. Did you know that the like button is banned in parts of Germany?


I wonder why? Iceland is also using FB to rewrite parts of their constitution so the public can easily make suggestions.


Wow that's either a really good idea or a really horrible one. Did you know that Myspace had an opportunity to purchase FB?


Yea, they didn't do it for $75 million. I wonder how they would have changed FB?


No telling. Do you know why FB has a blue theme?


Zuckerberg has some color blindness. Not much different from myself, though with blue and green.


Well i bet the fact that when they went public in 2012 and were worth 104 billion he never gave it another thought.


Lots of money to lose. Apparently Youtube is the second biggest search engine on the net.


Good afternoon. Do you like the movie avengers infinity war? I thought Marvel Studios and Walt Disney Studios did an incredible job.


Yes I wonder if that character who is named Access will ever have a movie himself?


Probably too many license issues. Disney does not completely own the big marvel characters east of the Mississippi due to previous contract signed with Universal.


Oh that is kind of interesting. Have you heard about Blue ear? He was a superhero created to put the anxiety of a four-year-old boy at ease.


That is fantastic. I heard the boy did not want to wear his hearing aids because superheroes do not wear them, so they created a character for him. How wonderful.


Exactly and I think that is so wonderful too. Do you like watching television? I can't believe there are over 750 episodes of Pokemon.


Wow. That is a lot of episodes about 50 a year for 16 years straight. That is almost a new episode every week!


I bet Pokemon fans love that. Can you believe they made a UK version of that 70s show?


I guess the show was too Americanized because it only lasted for 10 episodes. And I really enjoyed the American version.


Yes me too. I think it would've been more successful if they didn't remake the show verbatim. I really had fun talking with you today.


You too. Keep enjoying tv and movies and be so excited for the next Superhero film.


That movie was fantastic. It was the first movie to be shot with digital IMAX cameras and I feel like I noticed a difference.


Yes I did too. Hope they make more movies like that in the future. The movie even caused an increase in shawarma sales. Very influential.


One of the actors who offered his voice to Jarvis in Iron Man and the Avengers has never seen the films. He is missing out!


Yes I agree with you. I wonder why you don't want to watch them? The waitress Capt. America saves in the avengers voiced Gretchen in recess. Did you ever watch that show?


I did but I can't seem to recall the character. I like that the original actor who played the Hulk, Lou Ferrigno continues to offer who voice to the character for decades.


Yes he was such a good Hulk actor. The 1970's seems so long ago especially for him I bet.


Marvel has the best characters. I think I like them better than DC. Sony could have purchased them all in 1998 for $25 million but they only wanted Spiderman for $10 million.


I'm surprised to think that they only thought people would want to see or care about Spiderman.


What a mistake that was. I find it fascinating that DC and Marvel co-own a character whose sole purpose is to keep the universes separate.


did you know that the united states got thrid place in the world cup back in 1930


well that's a nice thing to do, I wonder why in america we call it soccer but the rest of the world calls it football, honestly it would make more sense to call it football haha


I guess it's just slang, no idea why though. Doesn't seem to have hindered us, the American women's team has never gotten worse than 3rd plce in the world cup.


wow that is impressive, also impressive is the hungary football team, they only had one defeat between the years 1950 and 1956


Maybe dominance is easier for the best soccer teams, and I believe they only lost in the final game too right?


ya I think so, did you hear of the highest scoring football game ever? it was 222-0


That's insane! Hard to think that'll ever be beaten. Another football accomplishment is that running back Benjarvus Green-Ellis has somehow never had a fumble!


ya I would make sure to give the ball to that guy all the time, it's crazy that espn got an emmy for developing the yellow line in football, i'm staring at that line right now haha


Ahah, it must have been considered especially innovative. Speaking of colors, University of Iowa is known for the visitors' locker room being painted completely pink.


ya I wonder if that makes teams more or less likely to win, I would be mad personally and be more likely to play better haha


Oh I'm sure people do, no way it's effective. Maybe if Cumberland visited a pink locker room they wouldn't have lost by 222!


haha that could have been the game changer! I wonder if georgia tech threw a party after that win?


I can't say that I am I don't watch sports, but I am watching the superbowl right now, what about you?


Same! Soccer is definitely interesting though, it actually makes more money than all the other major sports combined.


ya that is crazy, I want to see a soccer game with 3 teams, that sounds crazy and it actually exists!


Wow, how does that even work? Soccer is fascinating. Jon Stewart was actually once good enough of a player to represent the U.S!


that is crazy, ya I think he played for the USA back in 1983, I bet he was really good!


I wonder the benefits of soccer sometimes though, in FIFA the countries that host don't even make money!


I have heard that before, the world cup in 2022 will be in qatar, and apparently that city doesnt even exist yet!


Haha, maybe they could get money from Mesut Ozil! I hear he donated his world cup bonus to children in need.


Yeah it can be.  Guess they had to after allowing Draftkings to do it there too.


You can do draftkings on your phone, right?  Seems like that would be tough to compete with.  Sorry, I have no idea about any of this stuff lol


Yep, the Presidents guest house is bigger then the white house!


WOuld love to be a guest there. Believe it or not but Trump is not the wealthiest president.


That doesn't surprise me.  Trump has gone bankrupt 4 times lol


Yeah it was JFK, Jefferson, and Washington. I assume they are accounting for inflation.


They would have to be.  Also, most of Jefferson and Washington's wealth was from owning huge plantations


I feel like our presidents lack a certain style. The president of Indonesia has released 3 pop albums while in office. Maybe that's what Trump is doing with all that "executive time".


Haha, too funny!  He could release an album or change his name to a fruit like the first president of zimbabwe


Hah! Imagine if Hillary had been the Vice President if they still did it like they used to where the runner up got that job? THat would be a fun White House.


Talk about entertaining! I think that would be totally dysfunctional, too...well, to me it's already dysfunctional I guess


The white house has twin buildings in Ireland and France


I guess the president would feel at home traveling to either of those countries. I wonder if they have the solar panels too?


Good question.  The white house still uses floppy disks for storing files...um...what?! lol


Hard to hack since no one else has them.


No, but I want to. THe Model S is quite the looker. They test it on an indoor track since there are no emissions.


Elon Musk returned all of his salary save $1 in 2014.  Wow.


He doesn't need it. I also loved it because it runs Linux.


Yeah, he did found Paypal and spacex.  Dude doesn't need cash lol


Definitely taking a gamble. Do any sports betting?


No, never have.  I know a lot of people like that but gambling always seems like flushing money down the toilet.  Have you?


I've done my share of it. Jersey has authorized online betting for their Atlantic city casinos. I may give it a try.


I do wish gambling were legal in more contexts because it seems like a great way to raise revenue via taxes


Hi Do you know many facts about superheroes?


That's a lot of episodes!  I never really got into Pokemon but my kids are into it.


We steered our kids towards Thomas the Tank Engine. Did you know they have had multiple narrators over te years?


My kids watched that when they were little.  I remember George Carlin.  Who were the others?


Ringo Starr and Alec Baldwin. I could believe Carlin in the role, but the others were a stretch...


That's right!  I remember Ringo now.  Did you ever watch "That 70s Show"?


I lived it... I was Fez... I hear they did a UK remake. Ever see that?


lol  I was going to ask you the same thing.  lol I haven't seen it.


Well, it was canned after only 10 episodes. Not too soon if you ask me. This world cannot survive with more than one Fez!


lol  Did you know that there was only 1 episode of the Simpsons where Bart neither appeared or was mentioned?


Sounds like a case for the Detective Comics! Perhaps Bart fell into the DC universe and we'll have to send Green Lantern in to find him!  Stay tuned for the next show...


I know a few. But I do not really know but a handful of the 300 registered superheroes in the US. How about you?


lol  I have to get going.  It's been fun chatting!


Thank you, and you have a SUPER day! I have a meeting with the X-Men over in the Marvel Universe anyway...


I'm a little familiar with them.  There was a comic series about fixing collateral damage caused by superheroes.


Nice. That would make a good episode of Dr. Phil.  We could start with a a superhero, like Underdog, get a personal look at his life. Then we bring on Polly Purebread to talk about her hero...then we hit them with griping citizens, angry about collateral damage.  This could sell...


lol  There is a superhero called Normalman who is the only person without superpowers on a planet full of superheroes.  I think they were running out of ideas when they created that character.


OK. He can come on after the griping citizens... he can gripe about being normal... Maybe we end with Garfield and his Pet Force?


Who would have thought they could turn Garfield into a superhero? lol


He always considered himself one anyway... And his arch nemesis...Odie!  Are Pet Force Marvel or DC Universe characters?


I'm not sure. lol  Stan Lee wrote 15 DC comics, re-imagining popular superheroes like Batman and Superman.


I wonder what he felt about Pokemon?  Did he admire their successful 16-year run, with 50 episodes per year, or was he secretly jealous, waiting for his opportunity for revenge?


Very true.  It is amazing there was once a moral panic over reading.  Imagine how they would feel about our phones!


For some there is amoral panic over phones and kids usage of them.  I suppose the new thing comes along and people are worried about them, soon they become just another part of our lives.


Very true. Personally I just would think kids having access to everything is a bit scary, more so just the typical sensitive content.


Agreed, there has to be limits, I guess that is what we are figuring out now.  Same with reading there are things kids shouldn't read until they are older and can understand them


Very true, there are some things that I probably read young and would have a different understanding of now.


I think, at the moment anyway, I prefer reading to my phone.  I still like an actual book to looking at a screen, never got into the e-book thing.


Same here there is nothing better than the smell of a book, well pizza but you cant read that


Would you be a quick reader, it takes me a while to get through a book, not like that woman that can read 4,700 words a minute.


I can read quickly, but compared to that I am downright slow.


I'd have to wonder how much she is actually comprehending, or is she just saying the words.  I'd sooner understand than do it quickly.


I do have an account, but I don't often look at it.


Same here, time is valuable I dont want to do the same work two to three times.


Good talking to you, I'm going to the library to get a good book, have a good day.


That would be my wife, I think I avoid Facebook because I know I could be ensnared like most people.


It is rather addicting, and very hard to break the grasp.  I cant believe myspace declined to buy them


I suppose they were the dominate social media platform at the time and couldn't believe there was something better.


They were wrong.  Facebook is now worth $104 billion dollars!


I think part of Facebook's success is down to smartphone like the iPhone, we can now access Facebook anywhere.


It is true.  Iphones are pretty incredible.  I remember being in school and teachers telling us we wouldnt have a calculator with us at all times....  well I guess they were wrong about that.


A calculator and more, we basically have access to the whole world knowledge if we know how to access it.  You could pass any academic test with a iPhone in your hands.


Yeah, well I read about how they laid oil lines across the English Channel for WW2, so I'm not that surprised. In fact, if you trade currencies they call the the USD/GBP exchange rate "The Cable" for that exact reason (there is a cable on the ocean floor).


That's pretty cool - I never knew any of that


Yeah, so if you watch CNBC and they reference the "Cable." that is what they are talking about.


Cool. Unicef will donate a day of clean water to a child for every minute you don't use your cell phone!


Interesting, how do they track that though?


I'm not sure - it isn't something I have looked into. You probably have to register your phone or download an app I would guess.


Yeah, that is what I'm thinking as well.


Have you ever tried to separate 2 phonebooks that have overlapped pages? apparently it is impossible


A cell phone but not a landline - how about you


Me either. I tested it. Well, nice chatting with you!


I used to have a landline growing up, it was a rotary. Guess what the fastest number to dial was?


Oh new york area code. I'm glad we have upgraded to cell phones since then


Yeah,me too. Did you know an iphone has more computing power than our Nuke deterrent?


That's pretty crazy. Also crazy that the cables carrying phone/internet data across oceans are only 2.7 inches in diameter and just lay on the ocean floor


I can believe it. As crazy as it sounds, it also sounds pretty freaking cool.


Yeah - I'm surprised it works so well with cables just laying in the ocean


No Superbowl, but he was a redskin and a chief, he got hurt really bad. But he is a genius basically and was the #1 pick in 2005


I guess injury really is a tough part of the game. I know that women are allowed to play, but could they handle it? Could the fans?


For sure, I don't think the fans would, too many menly men that watch the game. Have you heard about the saints cheerleaders?


The restrictions on eating at restaurants? Yes, quite sexist. I don't see how they can enforce that. That must break a law or something.


Very sexist i must say. The saints players should leave not the women!


Chivalry would dictate that the men leave. But I guess they are paid big, they are more important.


For sure, lol. Do you know how the huddle was formed in football?


I thought it was just a basic part of the game, to make it easy to hear the QB.


For sure, I think everyone did, I am glad I learned that and I will tell everyone I know. Good chatting with you!


NFL? The National Football League, you mean? I sometimes watch. You?


Yes, do you have a favorite team of the 32?


I don't have a favorite team per se. I often root for teams that are not favored. I like to see upsets.


Me too, I am always rooting for the underdog. This year the Green Bay Packers were the underdog


I wish they had won. I think that the team that won the super bowl has won too many times.


For sure, Patriots need to be stopped, and I think they need to stop cheating. Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers are great quarterbacks though


I don't know much about the players. I have heard of Brady. I know that the Patriots have been busted for stealing information.


For sure and deflating footballs to their advantage. One good quarterback who was fair was alex smith


Has he won a super bowl? What team does he play for?


The current library of alexandria has a saved copy of the internet in case the internet burns down! I wonder how they store it.


I'm not sure. There is internet service at the peak of Mt. Everest!


Its true, the ability to get on the internet has changed a lot in the last few years.


Sure has. Internet use can cause addiction measurable in the brain.


Did you know that the first computer program was written by a woman?


Very cool. I learned a lot about computers and the internet. Thanks for chatting!


Yes sometimes I do, some of them are quite good


A horror film is a film that seeks to elicit fear. I don't really like being scared, so I tend to skip them


Some movies like Inception were supposed to be horror movies but changed focuses, which I didnt realize


Yeah, apparently the boy from the shining, did not know he was acting in a horror film until several years later.


Thats interesting. It would be pretty hard to do that film today with the internet and so much connectivity.


True. Speaking of the internet and computers, In 1936, the russians made a computer that ran on water.


Haha. Did you know that Smoking near apple computers voids the warranty by making it "a biohazard"?


Apple would do that. Thats why I use Windows!


Did you know every president that has had a beard has been a republican?


Right the two Richards, lol! It still amazes me that Fox is watched more than cnn and msnbc combined.


That is pretty crazy, especially for a company under the same umbrella as a gaming website, IGN.


They broadcast primarily from a studio at 1211 avenue in new York city.


Even though they're based in New York, they still broadcast to 86 countries and overseas territories.


Still i like MSNBC much better. Did you know that the republican party is referred to as the GOP?


I did. Did you know that the political parties weren't grouped into red or blue before 2000?


I heard that seems like its been around a lot longer. Yeah and Truman would ride the dumbo ride for fear of supporting the republicans..


I can't believe there hasn't been a US president that wasn't a Democrat or Republican since 1853.


Me either, and the last time there was a republican elected with out a bush or nixon on the ticket was 1928. i assume there excluding trump.


I wonder if Trump would've gotten along with the first president of Zimbabwe, he was called President Banana. Imagine what people would come up with for nicknames of American politicians!


That's weird. I always think of very clean cut men when I think of Republicans or presidents, for that matter. That said, the president of Indonesia has 3 pop albums, so, crazier things have happened.


Too Funny!! The president is a common title for head of state in most republics. Nice chatting with you too.


Wow can you imagine Trump singing pop, he's not even one of the three wealthiest presidents.


Ha! Yeah, it was shockingly two of the founding fathers!


And the rock star JFK, lol! can you imagine if the rule from 1805 was still imposed. Trump and Hillary what a reality show.


Right? Maybe Hillary would let him stay in the guest house. It's actually bigger than the main house, anyway.


I'm sure he would insist, lol! I didn't know that fox owed IGN, did you?


No. I try not to pay attention to Fox, other than Bobs Burgers an The Simpsons. Did you know they toyed with the idea of having a station that only played the Simpsons?


Wow was that after they tried to sue them for parodying it's famous anti-democratic party agenda?


I'm not sure, but I'm not surprised by that information since it was created by a Republican media strategist, Richard Ailes, and Nixon.


Hey there! How's it going? Do you enjoy using YouTube?


Apparently it so many views it forced Youtube to upgrade it's counter integer to 64 bits.


Thats wild! I knew that song was popular but I had no idea people played it that often. Did you know that "Baby" is the most disliked video on youtube? That didn't really surprise me haha


Haha yeah but I think Justin Bieber may also be the most viewed and liked at the same time lol Just gets a lot of attention in general


I love to read, you? I'm always in the middle of something. Right now I'm not though because I just wrapped up George R.R. Martin's Fire & Blood.


I love it as well! I try to read a little of everything, but I've never read that one. Tolkien is my absolute favorite!


That's Lord of the Rings author right? Similar to Martin, I just happen to get into one over the other.


It is! And I just read that apparently he and CS Lewis would hold "you laugh you lose" competitions when reading bad poetry together...funny!


Haha I didn't even know those two hung out. That's an interesting pair. Did you like the Lord of the Rings movies as well?


Yeah I guess they were close! I did like the movies- did you?


Hi there! I do use youtube pretty frequently- really entertaining! How about you?


Pretty good, but not as good as Game of Thrones! Nice chatting with you, have a great weekend!


I've been using it more and more. I even watch some shows on there now.


Oh really? I haven't watched any shows, but I do use to search for tons of things so I wasn't surprised to find that its the second largest search engine on the internet!


Have you ever heard of a show called Hot Ones?


Yes, and the host interviews celebrities while eating progressively hotter and hotter wings lol


Oh my gosh! I'm definitely going to look that up later- it sounds hilarious! I love that youtube promotes that kind of crazy creativity in their shows- you wouldn't be able to find that on regular television haha Did you know that combined with Netflix they make up half of peak North American internet traffic?


That's crazy but I believe it! You remember Gangnam style from Psy?


I do- that song still gets stuck in my head all the time haha


Cool. THere is a planet where it actually rains shards of glass


THat sounds scary. There is a planet that actually orbits four stars


I sure do. It is mentioned in one third of all divorce filings


I have no idea but I know that a lot of people get their news from there


Yes and it is blue because Mark is green red colorblind


Oh cool. There are more people on facebook than there were in the world 200 years ago


Wow mind blowing. In parts of Germany the like button is illegal


Wow I wonder what happened there. Nice chat


I know some stuff. Do you know what else is earth called?


I do not know that, did not know there are other names too


Yes it is called Gaia, Tellus and Telluris


WOw that is cool. Jupiter has a moon that if it orbited the sun it would be a planet


Nice. The soviet union sent a spacecraft to Venus once


Never heard of it, pretty cool. Did you know that Venus does not tilt?


Yes they sent it in 1975 and it captures images which are the first ones from another planet. It does not?


Nice. Yes it does not and because of that there are no seasons there


Wow cool. There is so much space between the moon and earth that you can fit all the planets there


Well another reason that i'm thankful to be living in this country.


I agree, yes. The United States government will publish anyone who renounces our country. They list their full names also.


Wow didn't know that, i'll have to check out the list make sure i'm not on it, lol! Apparently Fake news like you said is a buzz word, shots heard around the world.


Yeah, that would be scary! lol and Fake News isn't going away anytime soon. YouTube has looks of people saying crazy stuff, for sure. In 2007 Youtube consumed as much bandwidth as the entire internet in 2000. I am trying to wrap my mind around that.


I know right that's a lot of power. did you know the government owns 86% of Nevada?


That sounds about right since that is area "some number". If you're gonna drive around there it would be good to get the Google self-driving car and use the option "aggressive" mode.


Aggressive mode that sounds dangerous, lol.


Yeah, I guess Google needed to create that mode. I know that when Audi cars went to India they had to create a more aggressive horn to withstand how much they use it there.


I wonder what that sounds like? I never new that Detroit was founded by a French man who invented the Cadillac.


Oh, hmm, thats neat. I heard a cool story about a man in New york who bought a property and then found tons of classic cars. The barn on his property was loaded full of them.


Yes, I am very interested in them and the secrets that they tell the public.


Why can't stuff like that happen to me? Did you know that the drive thur was not created until the mid 70's?


Oh really, that was very long ago when you think about it. Why were they created, do you know?


For our soldiers who were not allowed out of the cars due to their uniforms. so i guess for safety reasons.


That's really cool, I like honoring our military whenever possible.. It was really good chatting with ya. Have a great rest of the day!


Yeah the founder fled to Russia Edward Snowden.


Yeah, I bet the government wished we would believe he is "fake news". I was amazed by a recent story of guy in Malaysia who was jailed for making a Youtube video, called fake news. Wow.


Jailed wow that's terrible kind of makes you grateful for the first amendment.


Yes, very good point and I agree with you completely. I guess he broke a law about speading lies?


But were they actually lies and who gets sentenced to 1 week in jail? That's ridiculous.


Ha, Ya I know right. I guess fake new has become a global phenomenon. But Malaysian isn't haven it.


Wow your right because apparently the online provider can be held accountable as well.


Yep thanks. China is another story. Did you know that the chinese government has censored the word "censorship". Hmmm.


I am not surprised actually but wow, that is a lot of steps in a single day


That sure is DO you follow up with science at all?


I do actually as I am one myself. I have not published papers like the Emperor of Japan though


That guys sounds pretty cool. Do you know who was the only scientist to walk the moon, not astronaut?


Hm I think it was Harris Schmitt. right?


Yup it was him. Do you know when and who invented the world wide web, www?


Yes it was a guy from England working in Switzerland in 1989 at the CERN institute


We are so grateful to him for sure. Scientists at Harvard stored gif animation into a bacteria. It was of a galloping horse?


WOw that is remarkable. Do you like reading much?


Yes I read quite a bit actually. Have you read the Starship Troopers?


hello, quite a bit actually. I love shopping on amazon, and you?


nice , me too I shop everything from their more expensive stuff to AmazonBasics


Yeah they have good stuff in there. Did you know Jeff built a clock on a mountain?


Yes heard it is supposed to run for 10 000 years. I wonder why though


No idea actually. And they also own IMDB since 1998


Not surprised, they are everywhere. And they are delivering on Sundays
 now too


Yeah thanks to a contract with the USPS How convenient for us


That is very true. Their first customer got a building named after him and he spent less than $30


That is so cool. Did you hear that they are so busy their workers walk up to 15 miles a day?


Yeah, It has its plus and minuses. I am trying to limit my social media time to 30 minutes a month due to its negativity


Yeah, it has its danger and I really worry about my kids exposure


I do too. But mine are 5 and 7 and I need to think long and hard about how they use it.


I understand, but anyway I just taught my kids to swim, I want them to go to Cornell University when they grow up and they must pass a swimming test before getting admitted


Really? Good thing my kids are taking swim lessons. There is a type of competitive swimming where the athlete has their hands and legs bound, and swims like a dolphin.


I have watched that! I think I saw it at the olympics, I just came to know there is a swimsuit that is banned from the competition.


The united states has almost as many gold medals in swimming as the rest of the world combined. We're number 1!!!!


We have some pretty good swimmers, thats great, I think Phelps is one of the best swimmers in history.


I wonder what kind of training he does? I heard at that level they train 2 to 3 times in a day.


Im good, just a bit worried because of all the shootings, they just keep on happening.


Yeah. What stood out to you in the article?


that from 55 million kids 10 are killed annually, I thought this number was much higher.


Me too. It's sad that today's youth have to worry about premature death as much as they do.


It is, we sure have raised a generation of paranoia, my kid is obsessed with safety.


Mine are too young still but I can see my son being really paranoid while my daughter would be not as paranoid.


We will get over this, humans are strong, did you know we can regrow our ribs as strong as the original ones in just 2 months.


Wow, I did not. And I agree that we are resilient. The latest large shooting had the kids come out strong against gun violence. Sandy Hook is suing Alex Jones and Info Wars...


I think Social media has a big influence on this panic and because of all the attention results in more shootings.


Yes that is a rap style practiced in South Korea


Yeah I wonder what that sounds like though


Me too. Did you hear a judge in Michigan gave a ruling in the form of rap


Yes because the lawsuit was against Eminem


I know. Do you know what other names are used instead of the word rap?


Yes emciing is one of them. Do you watch tv much?


I sure do. Did you ever watch the Simpsons?


Yes I did, there is an episode where Bart does not appear


Yea and he is not even mentioned in that episode


I do but I like the old stuff from Tupac and the likes


Me too. DId you know his music is in the library of congress?


Yes for cultural significance, quite fitting


I do. He wanted to originally be a comic book artist


Yes and his favorite character is spiderman


Yes he is good. he was the voice of Reptar wagon in the Rugrats movie


Nice. Have you heard of compliment battle?


Yeah, that is a lot. I don't think I'll ever catch up. I like the Simpsons a lot too. I have watched it since childhood.


Do you like Bart? there is only one episode where he doesn't appear and he is not mentioned.


Yes! lol I was going to put that but I hit the enter button by accident.  Did you ever watch "That 70s show"?


I did! In the UK they tried to make it verbatim but I guess it didn't have the same appeal as it was cancelled after ten episodes.


Yes, but I try not to use it too much. BK had a promo where if you unfriend ten people you get a Whopper. They need to bring that back, haha.


I would have taken them up on that for sure!  As of Jan. 2018 there are 2.2 billion active users on facebook. That's insane.


I was hesitant to switch over from MySpace to FB. It's funny because they declined an offer to buy FB.


Big mistake on Facebooks part.  Facebook is primarily blue because Mark Zuckerburg suffers from red-green color blindness.  It's been fun chatting!


I do like it!  I can't believe the league was founded so long ago back in 1946.


Yeah, I thought FB was boring because of the colors, now I know why. Nice chatting with you!


i don't watch that much. maybe I would watch more if they shot free throws granny style. It's the best technique to consistently score points on the line.


I love that shot!  Did you ever own a pair of Air Jordan's?  They were banned by the NBA but Jordan wore them anyways because Nike was willing to pay the fine for each game.


Yes, I do. I love how they look. Speaking of sponsorshops, Allen Iverson has one with Reebok that pays him $800,000 a year until he is 55. Then he'll get a lump sum of $32,000,000.


Wow!  That is one sweet deal. He is set for life.  Tim Duncan of the Spurs sacrificed money and stayed in college for four years instead of going directly to the NBA.


I like that, that he had that discipline, and a backup plan!


Yes!  Did you watch a lot of tv in the 90's?


Yeah, I really liked watching Pokemon when I was younger.


I saw it when my kids were watching it.  I can't believe there is over 750 episodes of Pokemon.


Hello! What do you do for entertainment?


Haha, to each their own I guess, even the police has their own channel, theirs is called blutube :)


I believe it!  Netflix and YouTube make up about 50% of peak internet traffic in North America.  So crazy!!


I can see that! Its become so popular. Which makes me remember the days before all that.. Did you ever play Nintendo?


Yes, I loved Mario and Duck Hunt.  Hard to believe I found so much entertainment in a system that could only display 54 colors.


Yes! That was my fav too! Im still awesome at it, I beat my boyfriend the other day haha I was sad when I heard they discontinued in 2003 :(


That is a bummer.  I recently went to the mall the other day and there was a kiosk selling old Nintendo systems and games.  I almost bought one.


Oh you should have! It felt good playing it again.


I need to go back and buy one, I agree!  I am sure I can google and download some old games off the internet.  Reminds me, after Google, YouTube is the 2nd most popular search engine on the internet!


I guess thats true, and when you get tired of playing or in between breaks you get on a free website where you can listen to episode of classic radio dramas, since we are bringing it back! haha


Keeping it retro!  Watch some Ronald Reagan videos too!  He once was rejected from a movie because he did not have "that presidential look."


Hi!  I like to watch a lot television and play golf.  I wish I thought of the idea for YouTube.  It sold for 1.65 billion in 2006, cannot even imagine what it is worth today!!


Interesting, kudos for trying in acting though! I would Love to do that Do you know who Bill  Nye the Science guy is?


Yes, I used to watch his videos.  Did you know he got his break by winning a Steve Martin lookalike contest!!??


Yes! He does look like Steve Martin! haha It was fun chatting with you! Take care, much Love. <3


I agree! and I can see how successful it is, Thats where I spend most of my free time. I cancelled cable and use Youtube now.


Wow, a lot of people are cutting the cord.  I like sports too much to cancel my cable.  At least we have so many choices, unlike it ancient Rome where they bred chickens for entertainment.


Wow! Haha, yes, good thing we have many forms of entertainment, depends on your mood, You can even listen to the crazy storms that happen in Jupiter via an am Radio!


That is wild!  Another wild radio fact- during WW2 soldiers used razorblades and pencils to make radios!


Wow, how ingenious! I would like to learn how to do things myself out of your resources, you never know when you will need it!


Yup, all great innovations are usually out of necessity.


Yes! and some succeed coming together with the community did you know Canada has a law where the radio has to play at least 40% canadian music?


Canadians are a proud people!  Sounds more interesting than a station in Finland broadcasting a weekly news show in classical Latin!


Oh yeah I follow her, shes a great actress, I bet she killed it with that dance lol


Did you watch the most recent season of Game of Thrones?


I did I though it was awesome I wonder whats its box office record


How would you guess it's going to end? I heard Las Vegas has Bran as the favorite to sit the Iron Throne.


I have no clue, but maybe with them defeating the ice army working together and with Cersei Lannister death


I think Cersei Lannister is going to die in the beginning of the next season, but hey who knows? Speaking of this genre, did you Lord of the Rings actually lost money despite crushing the box office?


Maybe she will be the only one standing in the end, and really Lord of the Rings is one of my favorite movies, I though it made a lot of money


Apparently it did. It must have been extremely expensive to make. I don't know how else they would have lost money on it.


A box office failure was the movie Trojan Wars


I'm not even I heard of that one. Was it as bad as that John Carter movie that Disney put out?


Hi there. I try to stay trendy and I do appreciate the artistic side but you won't catch me watching Project Runway. How about you?


Not sure but it only made $309 in box office and had a production cos of $15 million dollars, so yeah, a total failure


I like it, I like the brand Apple, they used to have a clothing line back in 86


Apple as in Apple computers? No way. I didn't do they made clothes. It's kind of amazing how humans evolved to be the only species that uses clothing.


yeah as in Apple computers the same one, and humans are just amazing, do you like to dance?


No I'm a horrible dancer lol. I try to avoid dancing at all. Do you like to dance?


Lol im a horrible dancer as well but I do my best, Bruce Lee was a great dancer


Do you know Emilia Clarke is or watch Game of Thrones at all?


I like Game of Thrones but I dont know who she is


She plays Daenerys Targaryen, the Mother of Dragons. Incredibly beautiful with the silverish hair in the show. Anyway she did the funky chicken and robot dance to get the part lol


I am such a big NBA fan. Do you like it?


I do love jazz... Did you know jazz is a music genre that originated in the African-American communities of New Orleans, United States, in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and developed from roots in blues and ragtime.


That is interesting! Did you know Intellectuals around the world have hailed jazz as "one of America's original art forms"......very cool!


There is a programming language in which the programs are written in musical composition, and functional programs have jazz-like harmonies.


That is pretty interesting! I heard jazz players grow goatee's because it is more comfortable while playing, too funny!


I didn't know that. Did you know Clint eastwood is a lifelong jazz enthusiast, pianist, and scored several films, including million dollar baby


I love him! That is cool though! There is so many types of jazz I didn't even know. Cool jazz, Bebop, New Orleans....crazy!


HAHAHAHAAA! that would be hilarious hahaaa!


I just found out that Air jordan's were banned upon introduction by the nba. however, jordan wore them anyways, as nike was willing to pay the fine each game.


That is crazy and I didn't know that! I wonder why....the inventor of basketball is the only coach who lost in the university of Kansas's history!


I am! I don't follow it much but am a fan.....of the NBA


Nice. did you know Kareem abdul-jabbar's dominant use of the dunk got the shot banned from college basketball for over a decade.


Really! That's crazy! shooting "granny style" is the absolute best technique to consistently score points on the line, crazy!


I know, ask Rick Berry! In 39 out of 50 states, the highest paid state employee is either a college football or basketball coach.


Nice! NBA players are the world's best paid athletes I didn't know that!


Did you know The us supreme court building has a basketball court on the top floor known as "the highest court in the land"


I heard that haha! Tim duncan of the san antonio spurs sacrificed money and stayed in college for four years instead of going directly to the nba. That's nuts


The new zealand basketball team are nicknamed the "tall blacks"


That's funny lol....Do you ever listen to Jazz music?


It has to be, it was 750 not too long ago, and they keep churning them out!


Indeed. Do you see any non cartoons like the 70s show?


I have seen the whole series actually, I really liked it!


I have not, I do not think it lasted very long, did it?


that makes sense, it is a different culture, they probably did not latch onto like we did


Yes I suppose so, cultures can be very different, the office may not catch on somewhere else


I am a big fan of movies and music, but most of all sports, and you?


I agree. Personally, I enjoyed the humor of the office. In any case, thanks for this pleasant discussion


Apparently, there is only one episode with no mention of bart, which is pretty odd


I heard it was because it was a special focusing on women's history


That would make sense, I wonder if Homer was in it as well?


Perhaps. Do you watch anything else on tv?


I watch Pokemon pretty often, it calms me down


Hello fellow human! How you doin'? Do you still enjoy listening to the radio these days or are you not into that?


haha interesting! Too bad they couldnt just carry a sound device and put on a sound frequency that causes fear in humans, no need for violence.


that would be nice. Did you know we cant breathe and swallow at the same time? makes going to the buffet a bit more difficult


haha! thats hilarious, explains my problem. atleast we are good at running amongst other runnine animals, yes, i know we are considered animals.


i think were the only animal that can run such long distances, right?


yes, which is why it makes us great hunters although we lost those abilities now we shop for it.


i prefer the shopping method, less violent


haha, i prefer the delivery option, avoid other humans lol its a love hate, i love everyone but i prefer to stay home. Also did you know we lost, well most of us, most our hair over 240,000 years ago?!


oh my, i hope that means the body hair that made us look like apes and not the hair on top of our heads! did you know we can burp in zero g? that is peak evolution right there


some lost their hair on top of their head... No I didn't know that! Too bad we cant produce our own vitamin C, we have a defective gene..


all of those poor pirates who had scurvy would have been saved....


im doing well! personally im not too into radio, are you?


Yes! we wouldnt need energy drinks... the world would be a better place. It was fun chatting with you! Hugs and much Love - Take care!


I mean, I grew up with it and quite honestly Im too busy to hook my phone up so I listen to the radio these days, I often think about how far we've come in every aspect, in as humans, technology, everything its awesome. I mean,  in WWII soldier would make radios using razor blades...


they did! which is crazy creative of them to do. They called them Foxhole radios


I know! I would of never thought of that!


They must have had some really smart troops with them in those trenches to figure that out


Oh for sure, but imagine the first person tocomem up with that. Humans are amazing, did you know we can even regrow a rib!


yes! within 2 - 3 months of having it surgically shortened.


thats crazy. humans are so impressive. did you know we get goosebumps due to an old evolutionary trait that would make us appear larger to threats?


What?! That's far too recent. I didn't realize sexism quite that blatant was so recent. Very upsetting.


Yes it is. In India the government set the polling booths in the forest full of lions.


That's extremely accommodating. I knew that astronauts can vote from space which is also impressive.


Especially when there are so many people who would like to vote but can't, like 34% of black men in Alabama.


That's absolutely horrible and unacceptable. There seems to be a decent amount of suppression going around.


Yeah and it's all unfortunate. Wow apparently Austin Texas doesn't like Fred Durst much. They wanted to name a garbage dump after him,lol.


Ha ha! That's hilarious! I wonder if they let them.


No president that was a republican did not have a beard. Sounds funny must be including trump.


That's very interesting. How odd. I do know that with the exception of Trump the last time a republican was elected president with no Bush or Nixon on the ticket was 1928!


Strange...I didn't know that Mormons were mostly republicans. There have been a total of 19 republican presidents.


A little, I know people are up in arms over Kavanaugh's Supremo Court nomination.


I did not know that either. I wonder how many have been Democrats for comparison?


Yes very much so. That was quite the rough battle. Did you know that they had the same gavel for 165 years?


I heard that and then old Trick Dick broke it.


Yes he did. Were you also aware that there is a candy desk in the senate?


Sounds about right is there anything good any it?


Yes, it's supplied with candy from Pennsylvania including milky ways, mars bars, and jelly beans.


Well i guess sometimes you need a snack. Did you know that women until recently could not wear pants on the Senate floor?


That's very upsetting. Do you know how recently?


It wasn't until 1993 and two women had to be defiant to get their point across.


Wow, and yet I always look up at the bars. Rely too much on them I guess. Switching topics, do you enjoy reading?


I do but now a days i listen to audible books you can find almost anything. You?


That is very true. Yes I read quite a bit actually. Heard that there are more libraries than McDonald's in the US. I love that fact


Yeah that is awesome to know, you'd think it be the other way around but i guess with all the schools and universities beside the public ones it makes since.


I guess so. In Sacramento the public library now offers other things besides books like sewing machines and such


Sounds like a neat concept. Apparently there was a comedian that was Knighted.


Oh, who would that be? Speaking of Knights and that area of the world, Churchill actually won a Nobel Prize in Literature


Why are they always given out Nobel Peace Prizes for everything but peace? The comedian was Terry Pratchett.


Oh cool. Not sure about that on. But literature seems to have been pretty important back then as it was also an olympic event


I think i heard that didn't he write about sports?


All the time and for everything, to me it's not just a phone it's an extent ion of who i really am, haha!


Not sure actually. Nice chatting with you :)


Hahah I guess that speaks to all of us really. Did you ever have the chance to use a rotary phone though?


Yeah im a old dude! I hear the dial phone was created by a undertaker.


Yeah, those were fun but not to dial many numbers. took forever. Did you know the NY area code 212 is because of them


Yeah i heard that. Apparently someone from the 30's helped to invent cellphones, wifi and GPS. doesn't make much since.


Nice, they have made a revolution in technology with them. Did you ever use a phonebook, or maybe still do?


Nope just the extension of myself ( cell phone). However apparently dolphins communicate well over the phone and can recognize who there talking to.


Oh did not know that one, interesting. Apparently phone nowadays have more computing power than the entire us nuclear icbm deterrent


I don't know what to sat about that. Did you know that there is almost no correlation between the bars on your phone and quality of service.


That is good to know.      It is funny Babe Ruth was once America's most famous Baseball Player and Golfer!


Wow, good to know.  Golf courses in America, incidentally,  make up more land space than Rhode Island and Delaware combined.


I wonder how many animals find their way onto golf courses?


Good question. Did you know that the study of animals is called zoology?


That is cool.     There are about 20 quintillion individual animals on the planet.


True, that's a lot of critters. Did you know that in 2002, Germany became the first country in the world to universally give animals constitutionally guaranteed legal rights?


That is pretty crazy, but I guess I understand.    Many human behaviors came from animals.


Yes, that's true.  Did you know that hiccups are a holdover from the early evolution when early land animals had both gills and lungs?


I wonder if the Loch Ness monster (assuming Nessie is real) has both gills and lungs?


I'm not sure but I do know that under the provisions of the 1912 Scottish protection of animals act, the Loch Ness monster is a protected species.


Yes, I have in college and just for fun after college. Yes, the golf game at the usual level is played on a course with an arranged progression of 18 holes.


Cool.     I am a fan of animals, particularly those with white spots on their forehead.


Yes, me too. I've never seen an animal with white spots on their forehead but it's been nice chatting with you.


I understand every course is different, is that correct?


Well, each hole on the course must contain a tee box to start from, and a putting green containing the actual hole or cup (4.25" in diameter).  So, I don't know what your question is after.


I meant that the actual layout of the holes and course - distance, hazards and such are different between any two courses.


Yes, no doubt.  I do that the average American golf course consumes around 312,000 gallons of water per day.


Wow!     Courses in the desert must require a lot more water!


Probably There's a golf course in Dubai that requires 4,000,000 gallons of water a day!


That seems excessive.     Must make it easy for avid golfers like Samuel L. Jackson.


He must love the game. Speaking of different golf courses, there are other standard forms of terrain in between the hole and the putting greens.  There are fairways, rough (long grass), bunkers (or sand traps), and various hazards (like water or rocks) but each hole on a course is unique in its specific layout and arrangement.


like if two people only can sell to each other in their town, vs if you sold on ebay and had access to a worldwide marketplace


that makes sense...interesting. Guess that will never go away- the seller will always know more


thats true, and ya did you know that JP Morgan actually bailed out the USA?


the bank? that's just sad. what does that mean for taxpayers?


ya I don't know, but ya that happened way back in 1895


Oh my! I didn't realize with all the more recent bailouts I've been hearing bout


I know it all ads up, crazy too that the gov. has shut down 17 times in 37 years, thats kind of a low


Wow I didn't know it was that many times! I feel the higher ups should not be getting paid if they shut it down


ya I agree with you, do you ever play the piano? I am teaching myself atm


that is sad, he won a Nobel Prize he was very smart of course


Not since I was a kid, are you any good so far?


ya so far it's coming pretty easily, I guess Nixon wrote a piano piece I wonder how good it is


Yes, he had great thoughts on "optimal taxation"


speaking of taxes, what do you think of the government


It is necessary of course, but they can't always decide which tax systems are best


they are scary too, like how China is able to censor the word for censorship


Did you know in South Africa it's legal to install flame-throwers on your car to stop car-jackers?


haha thats awesome! I could use that in the freezing cold snow I have over here


I think Dr. Mirrlees had taught in China, in Hong Kong, actually


ah interesting, and ya he taught about information asymmetry which helped to explain super local economic transactions


Hello!  How are you doing today?  Did u know The average american golf course consumes around 312,000 gallons of water per day.


Probably not,  I dont really keep up with sports much.  Thats sounds like a fun show though.  Do all the teams participate in it? Wow this is weird : The new zealand basketball team are nicknamed the "tall blacks"


I'm not sure if all teams participate in the all star game. It's not like tennis, which is an individual or doubles sport.


Oh I see,  more like just single players against other single players.  Sounds good.   The us supreme court building has a basketball court on the top floor known as "the highest court in the land"


That's really interesting. I wonder who coaches the supreme court games? Did you know that James Naismith, who invented basketball, was the only coach in the history of the University of Kansas's basketball program to have a losing record!


Haha,  those who can do teach.  I guess.  Thats kinda sad,  I hope he made a lot of money for inventing it.


You know who did make a lot of money? Rene Lacosta. Lacosta was a tennis player who invented the polo.


I know right!  Thats pretty funny.  Also, They used a helicopter to dry the grass tennis courts for the 1969 us open


Tennis is too long for me. There was once a tennis match spread over 11 hours over the course of 3 days.


That is long,  I wonder how people can sit there and watch it,  I mean its exciting but not that exciting.  This is interesting: A black man won the 1st us open tennis title in 1968 and no black man has won it since.


That's fascinating. I wonder why there isn't more diversity in tennis. Maybe I'll tune in to the Tennis Channel to watch the World Tennis Tournament at 9am.


That's crazy! Speaking of golf, there's a course in Dubai that requires 4 million gallons of water daily!


Yeah I dont know,  good talking to you,  have a good one!


I just read that lol Golf courses in america make up more land space than rhode island and delaware combined


That's really big. Speaking of big, the Great Bambino, Babe Ruth, was once America's most famous golfer. I bet he could hit the ball a ton!


Right!  Another known person Samuel l. jackson puts a golf clause in his film contracts that allows him to play golf twice a week during production.  Thats pretty awesome,  if I could do that I would request one day off a week to go snowboarding lol


If I could request one day off a week, I would play basketball. Did you know that in 39 out of 50 states, the highest paid state employee is either a college football or basketball coach?


haha good for them.  They are not risking their health out on the field or court and still making the big bucks! Kareem abdul-jabbar's dominant use of the dunk got the shot banned from college basketball for over a decade.


The dunk is a smart strategy if you are big like Kareem. The basketball is only about 9.4 inches in diameter and the defenders hoop is only 18 inches.


Are you planning on catching the NBA Slam Dunk Contest? It's on TNT at 8 pm on February 17.


Really? How so? I know they like tuna on their pizza...


Well Netherlands is building special bridges to connect habitats and keep animals from getting ran over by cars.


Nice. Unless the animals choose to use the bridges too... Well, the human animal lost most of it's body hair around 240,000 years ago, and what little I have left on top is on it's way over the bridge...


I agree we might lose all of our hair soon lol, you know we are unable to burp in zero gravity environements, I wonder why that happens


Really? I wonder if it is related to the hiccup thing--hiccups are said to be evolutionary holdovers from early land animals who had both gills and lungs. A good burp can stop the hiccups, so...


Yeah it might be related to hiccups, you know we are the only mammals that can't breathe and swallow at the same time!!


No blow hole either! Ok, here is a piece of animal-related trivia: The creator of the python programming language named it after british comedy group, Monty Python, which has nothing to do with a snake. And now, something completely different.


I always thought it was because of the Python, its interesting to know that I was wrong though, I guess most people assume its because of the animal. I guess comedy influenes us in deep ways.


Indeed. Bill Murray says the "Supreme achievement of the modern age in term of comedy" is, in fact, the movie...Kung Fu Hustle. Yes, comedy does influence us in deep ways...


Did you ever watch The Empire Strikes Back?


Yes. But my favorite movie is The Green Lantern, which was originally supposed to be a comedy starring Jack Black. Ah, the age of enlightenment!  Nice chatting with you!


I also have a dog and three cats. 3 of the 4 have white on thier faces. I have heard that a white patch on the forehead is the first sign pf domestication. I also have grey hair...


It looks like you have a zoo at home lol, you know animals have a dominant paw?


Realy? I'll have to look for signs of that. Of the 20 quintilllion animals on the planet, I wonder how many are right handed?


I bet that more than half of them, there sure are a lot of animals in our planet they also speak different languages so theres a lot of interesting facts about them.


Nice. It's like the UN. We need translators for the all!  You knowm, Germany has granted animals constitutionally guaranteed rights?


I didnt, that is shocking actually although I think its a good thing, there is a lot of animal abuse and thats not ok.


Yeah, and Scotland has made the Loch Ness monster a protected breed, so, if she every re-appears, she'll have that going for her!


I guess thats a great law we wouldnt want to kill Nessie, after all she might be the only one left of the species, Netherlands also cares about its animals


I never knew that baseball was so popular in Japan but apparently they really like it there.


I know, I can't believe it took 71 years even though they managed to post a modern-era record winning percentage of .763


That world series was one of the best so far


I bet it was really exciting though in 1908 when the cubs one their second world series in a row


I think so.  Did you know over 5 million people celebrating their victory in 2016


No, but I'm not surprised! It sounds like the cubs are pretty prolific having one a total of 11 world series and 116 games on top of that


I don't know, I could believe it- occultists love having pet goats like Billy Sianis did!


Yes I do, and I love to read quickly but I am not sure I could ever compete with the record holder for speed reading, Anne Jones


I am a slow reader myself.  I cannot believe someone could read at a speech of 4700 words per minute


It really makes you wonder if they are actually following the story. Then again, in other times people were afraid just because people were beginning to read novels more often.\


I can't believe that some Japanese people were surprised to learn that it was America's national pastime- especially when you know that even old 1900's baseball cards are worth millions of dollars today.


I think because they did not have much information about the topic.  By the way, are you baseball fan


I'm not a baseball fan myself but learning about some of the history such as the recent Cubs 2016 World Series win that ended a 71 year streak of no wins, it makes me want to learn more and enjoy the hype. Do you enjoy baseball?


Did you know  baseball coach wearing a uniform because they are technically able to play the game


Wow that is funny, I wonder if that has ever happened. Baseball seems like an interesting sport, I heard they can even employ pitchers who are missing fingers


Yes, that was the Cubs who did that specifically, they're known as the North Siders since their field, Wrigley Field, is north of Chicago.


I see.  I was so happy the Cub won the world series eventually


Hey there what do you think of our current system of government? I was shocked to learn that Nevada is mostly owned by the US government


Well apparently Iceland doesn't have public service rails, and so you just fly between cities, so maybe you don't need a car LOL


Yeah if that makes it cheaper sure. Or maybe they will get one of those Dutch buses that go 160 mph


Haha I would definitely ride that. What I wouldn't ride is a highway system in Japan. All of them are private and all have tolls


Yeah and it would cost you $300 to travel the country


Yep exactly. That sounds really annoying. Have you ever been to Mackinac Island in Michigan?


I have never but would like to go how that works without any motorized vehicles, must be so peaceful there


Oh I agree with you. But it also smells like horses everywhere haha. I have been there and there are no Cars, just horses.


Yeah I guess that might be the downside. DO you know who was the first king to travel the world?


Wasn't at the king of Hawaii? I wonder what made him do it. What do you think?


Yup that was him. I am not sure though why he did it. Did you know that Venus does not tilt?


Yeah all 86% of the land, I wonder what they do with it really


Wow I didn't know that. I miss Pluto is a planet by the way! Also apparently Venus rotates clockwise


I know right. Although I do know that Nevada is mostly desert, but still. Did you hear about the Man Who Sold the Eiffel Tower twice? That was risky.


Haha I wonder how he got away with it twice. Do you know what wikileaks is?


I have heard of WikiLeaks. Didn't they publish plans that the government was trying to destroy them? That's so insane


yeah, they must have an inside man. Did you hear about the Norwegian government's plan to save the rainforest?


No I didn't what did they do? I did hear that the u.s. Passed a law that would protect government employees from being persecuted if they violated the Geneva Convention though, that seems really weird


Yeah tha is weird and the Norwegians donated $1 billion, that is a whole lot of money.


I know right! How often do you travel by the way? Have you ever been to Norway?


I have not actually but would like to visit at some point. In Iceland as well but would have to get a car


That's pretty cool.  I've seen a meerkat cafe,  bird cafe and a raccoon cafe before lol


I did not, wow, that sounds interesting. Did you know that the cat in the Godfather 1 opening scene was a stray that was found on set. Lucky cat.


lol I did not,  I hope that cat got paid or even adopted lol Its famous!


That is for sure. Hey, what kind of phone do you use. I use iPhone. I just found out that iPhone has more computing power than the entire US nuclear ICBM deterrent.


That's insane,  and a little scary.  I have an android.


Yes, it is. One more thing the cables carrying phone and internet data across oceans are only 2.7 inches in diameter and just lay on the ocean floor.


I find it weird they just lay on the floor.  lol Nothing holding them down or even protecting them


Yes, i was wondering myself. Did you know that it is impossible to separate two phone books that simply have their pages overlapped together.


I have never tried this,  I don't even really understand it lol


I did see it before. Speaking about the phone, Unicef will donate a day of clean water to a child in need for every minute you do not use your cell phone. Good practice.


No. But I would like to have one, actually my kids because they watching a lot of Hamster Princess series with Ursula Vernon in it.


That is good to know, great chatting,  kinda slow though.


Oh lol that's cool.  So maybe a hamster is in your future lol I have a dog.  The first cloned cat was named copy cat lol


Yes, right.  I know there is more tigers living as pets in the US than living in Asia.


Yeah that's a little unsettling.  Maybe because of zoos?  They might be becoming extinct then!


I do not know. Speaking about pets. Theodore Roosevelt had over 20 pets, including a bear and a hyena.


I guess its easier to own more pets when you have help lol I wonder why a bear and hyena lol not like you can play with them lol


Yes, probably just because he had money. What is weird to me that in Japan there are more pets than there are children under 15.


Wow that is crazy!  The must really love pets lol I like that in colorado you cant own pets, you can be their guardian


Yes, crazy. Also there are cat cafes in Japan and Taiwan where people can pay hourly to play with cats and have drinks.


Interesting. I wonder how he got into comedy. Speaking of comedy, Ryan Stiles dropped out of hih school to pursue a comedy career.


That was a good decision. High school can be a boring waste of time for some people. He found his calling and pursued it.


If I were accepted into Harvard law I would think twice. But Demetri Martin left Harvard law because he was bored, in order to pursue a comedy career.


Law is a tough profession, and very different from comedy. He probably realized his mistake and choose what he loved.


Did you ever watch 3rd Rock from the Sun, Seinfeld, Frasier or Friends?


I watched Seinfeld. The others, no. I think they were all popular though.


Yeah, I liked Seinfeld and Friends but 3rd Rock beat them out in 1997 for the Golden Globe for best comedy series.


I guess they had a strong year. Probably a lot of fans. I never saw the show though.


I saw it but never thought it was that funny. Do you watch the Oscars or the Golden globes?


I don't usually watch those shows. I find them boring. I just look up the winners online. Do you watch?


Sure! I enjoy both dramas and comedies. What about you?


No, I don't. I guess they don't align very often, unless something is really good! Like Slumdog millionaire, won at both shows.


that was a good film. Anyway, thanks for the chat! Have a good night!


I like comedies more. Jim Carrey doesn't make dramas anymore because his belief system prevents him from acting in movies that aren't positive.


That's odd reasoning on Jim's part. I guess he's better at comedy anyway.


Yeah, I think so. I don't really remember him performing in drama movies, ha. So I guess Michael Caine became an actor because he wanted to be in the class with the pretty girls!


haha I should have done that too, then I could have been a famous actor


Hahaha! Hugh Laurie is the highest paid actor ever for tv drama. He made $700,000 per episode in House.


I think Hugh deserves every penny. He makes that show. He is a legend. Great American accent too.


Yeah, I was intrigued by House, though I don't usually like drama! Such an interesting character.


A flawed but brilliant character that the whole show revolved around. Hugh used to do comedy in the UK.


Hey how often do use the internet? I know that I'm using it right now haha


Yes I think you're right. Have you heard of the Drake equation? It's an equation that calculates the probability that life exists outside of hours in the universe and I think that it has determined that there should be life there somewhere


No havent heard of it, and then I agree with that equation, there are firefighters that are trained on how to treat aliens in case of a crash or an invasion


Well that's pretty cool. Did you ever hear of the show X-Files? Apparently in that show aliens began to colonize Earth back in 2012, so maybe they already are here haha


I used to love that show, and who knows maybe they are I try to keep an open mind about that


Yes it's best to keep an open mind. What do you think about Tom Cruise? Did you know he built a 10 million dollar bunker in his basement to protect him from Aliens LOL


I think he is a great actor, he definitely has the money to do that, I think his a bit too paranoid though


Yep it seems like a really weird thing to buy, have you seen the movie Aliens though? Apparently those aliens were based off of deep sea creatures


Wow, those creatures must be really scary Im guessing you also like astronomy right?


Yes I definitely like astronomy, what about you? Did you know that after they created Wi-Fi, they were able to use that technology to improve astronomy and imaging in outer space


That is amazing, I dint know that but I can see how the net has improved many things, astronomy one of them


I use it really often and Im using it right now as well lol so a lot


I agree, do you like Bill Nye the Science Guy? Apparently he is the executive director of the planetary society which is an astronomy organization


Well I personally like clicking on hamburger buttons, they're the buttons that are made of three horizontal lines,+ the name makes me hungry


That makes me hungry as well, crazy how only 7% of the people read the terms on a service or product on the net


Yeah I know that I never read them haha. If you went on Mount Everest would you take a selfie at the top? Apparently they have 3-g service there


That would be great, taking a selfie in the top of the tallest mountain, I didnt know you could get addicted to the internet


I did know that, I'm probably addicted right now haha. And yes if you use the internet too much you can get addicted to clicking links


That is just crazy, its a good thing there a copy stored in the library of Alexandria, I cant imagine my life without the internet now


No I agree with you. I wonder how often they back it up at the Alexandria library though? Do you believe that there is extraterrestrial life in the galaxy?


I do, we are not alone in the world, the universe is so big that there must be alien life in other planets, galaxies


Did you hear about Duke Ellington School of the Arts in DC and its $180 million remodel? That's a lot, but it sounds like a good school.


Blockbuster also screwed up. They could have bought Netflix for $50 million; it's now worth 40 times that.


Its interesting to note that all of Netflix tech is run on Amazon Web Services. Another company that transitioned to a profitable product while selling books cost more money than they were making.


I wonder if young people even know that Amazon was first a book store? Sort of like how Google is moving beyond searches into cloud computing, software, etc.


And yet Google used Goats to mow the grass around their headquarters. Some things cannot be replaced like goats as lawnmowers or a paperback book in your hands.


Or Pokemon on TV. That shows been on forever.


I did not know that south park made family guy and why did the simpsons send flowers to the producers.


I think South Park aired an episode making fun of Family Guy, and The Simpsons crew sent flowers because they agreed with the sentiment.


Was the 70's show verbatim made in UK done with English actors? I can see how that would not traslate well in the UK.


I am not sure why it's necessary to remake between US and UK. I mean, Ringo Starr narrated Thomas the Tank engine. Americans can handle British personalities, and vice versa.


Yes but that 70's show was so America specific. And to have Brits do it would seem a strange parody.


I did not hear about that. I was more interested in the scandal.


True. I know they have Netflix in Britain. I'd be curious as to how much content is the same as in the States, and how much is different.


So if a single google search requires more computing power than what was needed to go to the moon, where should we now be going? And are we just killing ourselfs with worthless computing (facebook etc).


I'm not sure people want to go anywhere any more, except on their computers. Youtube and Netflix account for half of internet traffic.


Sad, we could have been to Mars by now, but people are just introvering themselfs. I am just waiting for the aliens to take over. Wont take much.


Unless the Aliens are like us: more focused on entertainment than exploration!


Exactly, but god help us if they are more Klingon like. All we need its aliens who are slightly more advanced and outgoing.


They could use Google Maps to help plan their military attack. Track our devices to figure out where we are.


But then we could beam Netflix to their ships and render them unconcious due to binging.


MAybe that's what China is doing to us, LOL. China doesn't have Netflix.


But if we take Google down then we free up 40% of the web traffic and people will start reading real books again.


Yes, I heard some non-resident parents send their kids their without paying tuition. How did they get away with that?


I don't trust Google. They tailor their maps to what countries want to hear. Maybe they'd end up working for invading space aliens.


I think they do stuff like use goats in order to appear quirky and fun, but they are a huge conglomerate now. Alphabet Inc. now. But that sounds faceless, so they like to be known as Google.


I agree, and wish that I had bought stock way back when.


If you could have gotten "supervoting" shares you could call the shots there, like Page and Brin do.


It is the old dictomy public school is bad until they do something right.


98% graduation rate sounds great, and they have some successful alums like Dave Chappelle.


I like the longer hours and work ethic. American kids are too lazy these days and need to be pushed to compete with the world.


That's how you get people like Google's founders founding the company when they were still grad students at Stanford.


Yes I wish I was the netfix founders. I must have had several 100 of late fees for tapes and dvds.


Give Netflix credit for recognizing the future was streaming, not DVD rentals. A lot of companies don't change with the times.


I totally agree, Hollywood video did not transition and lost. Sort of like Uber vs Taxi drivers, that however seems different.


Have you ever seen "Dolls' House" at the Smithsonian?


Elephants are instinctual as well. Hard to keep as pets...despite there always being an elephant in the room


haha yes. Some dogs in Moscow have learned to use the subway.


Cool. Now if only the humans can. I hear in Japan there are more pets than kids.


Wow that's crazy. Did you know dogs drink from the underside of their tongue?


They seem to be up to something. You can't own a dog. But they can own you.


That's pretty funny. Did you know people with pets are at greater risk during a natural disaster because the pets make them less likely to evacuate?


OMG. I blame the fish. How you gonna carry a tank?


I wonder what the stats are for doll owners. That would be quite a drama.


Maybe Jim Carrey could make a movie with that plot. Might work better as a comedy.


LOL yea that would be good. It was good talking to you!


It's a Doll House done in painstaking, breathtaking detail


Oh wow that' s pretty amazing! Did you know Jon Hamm taught drama at his old high school and one of his students was Ellie Kemper?


Interesting. I have too much drama in my life. Luckily my dog smooths things out.


Lol that's good you have a dog. My wife is allergic so no animals for us. Russia has a tomb of the unknown dog as a memorial for canine research subjects.


Yikes...research subject. Well, its a dog eat dog world. In Turkey at least they have vending machines for dogs.


I did see that which is pretty cool. It says they exchange plastic bottles for the vendor machine dog food and water for stray dogs.


Yeah. Dogs are real individuals. Cat are like clones. That's why they call em copy cats


LOL yea that's funny. I'm not a big fan of cats. Dogs can learn over 1000 words and can reason better than chimps.


I like that perspective. Jon stewart played soccer in college. Who knew!?!?!


He had secret soccer abilities that took him all the way to Brazil! Then he showed up on our TVs!


At Billy May's funeral the pall bearers wore ble shirts and khaki pants.... HAHHAHA


I don't know Billy May, but I guesst there must be some irony in their sartorial selection for a funureal affair like a funeral.


He's the pitch man that had the beard. He would pitch the boat with the screen door on the bottom.


The man must of been a legend! I think he must be selling salvation to the Lord God in heaven! He must of done a deal with the Devil and got the good end of it!


He also did the oxy clean commercials. The official office attire of hawaii is the aloha shirt. I may move there.


I think the Hawaiians have the right idea. We go to work every day. We should be comfortable. The people in Manhattan would do well to take the example of the Hawaiians.


yeah! I wish I could wear jeans all the time but no, I have to wear khakis... No one thinks khakis are formal...


You are Steve McQueen! You wear khakis, or as the Brits say, carkeys!


Well, howdy, how are you doing tonight? It's a great night for a chat, don't you think?


I do think it is a great night to chat! Do you watch soccer?


I watch the World Cup because it's the best of the best playing. You?


I watch the premier league because it is on before college football and the NFL. Do you like any other sports?


I have heard that there are other sports than soccer, but soccer makes more money than football, basketball, baseball, golf, tennis and hockey combined. I follow the money. The money is with soccer


I would say so! That's a lot of leagues to out perform.


There should be more altruism in sports though. Consider German soccer player Mesut Ozil, who donated his world cup victory bonus to pay for surgeries for 23 children in Brazil. Maybe one of those kids would grow up to defeat him in the WC. Maybe they would donate their bonus to him.


That's the circle of professional sports life. I find those stories so heart-warming. We hear too often of the bad things athletes do but never the good things. Good for Masut!


I think that athletes are just folks with a talent. Some are good and honest and generous. Others are greedy, shallow, bitter and evil. Sports are just another human endeavor. Even in a country like Brazil.


Hi how are you doing?  This is a super funny fact: The first president of zimbabwe was called president banana


Thats kind of crazy since football players are constantly risking their health and safety every game!  But yeah its believable.


I also did not know that chips are embedded in shoulder pads and helmets to track speed, etc!


Me either,  technology is so smart now.  New orleans saints cheerleaders are forbidden from eating in the same restaurant as any nfl player and if they are already dining at a restaurant and an nfl player comes in after, the cheerleaders are required to leave.


I read that and am really wondering what the rational is?


maybe they think cheerleaders will distract the players,  I have no clue.


Did you know that Kim Jong Un was ranked 46th most powerful person by Forbes?


No i didnt!  Thats weird!  Also, Kim jong un learned to drive at age 3, according to a north korean teacher's guide.


I do not believe that. I read that he is also starting to edit history as other Communist leaders have done.


Yeah.  Omg Kim jong un was voted most sexiest man alive by the onion, china totally believes it.


I think  that is hilarious! I am surprised that Trump met with him regarding  nuclear bombs. Maybe that is a positive?


That is funny. Isn't it amazing how people rate President Trump? One man characterizes it as short term pain for long term gain with the tariffs.


Maybe.  north Korea is stalked with armory and ammunition.  Hope that meeting was a positive.


It has been so nice speaking with you. I hope the next year goes better with Trump!


Yeah.  did u know The u.s. president's guest house is larger than the white house


I find it horrible that Trump supporters are being maligned. Everyone has a right to support whomever they wish.


Definitely,  freedom of speech.  People can be harsh.


I do think things might be a lot different if the runner up for President became VP. This was done until 1805.


Yeah,  I read that too.  That would be quite a change.  Too bad they dont do that anymore.


Are you an NFL Fan? Can you believe that there are only 11 minutes of play time? A game on TV is usually 3 hours!


I am somewhat I fan,  i only follow one team though.  yeah,  thats crazy,  from my experience it can go up to 4-5 hours as well,  I thought this was really interesting though! The nfl has no written rule against female players; women would in fact be allowed if they met the league's eligibility requirements.


I had never heard that before! I also did not know that an engineer would average more lifetime pay than either an NFL or MLB player!


Do you have a favorite basketball player?


Boy, Allen Iverson sure signed a smart shoe deal.  He "only" gets 800,000 a year but gets a final lump sum of 32 million when turns 55.  The way some players go broke after playing this was a smart deal.


Yeah it was. I always liked Iverson. He could break some ankles out there. I actually had a pair of his shoes when I was in high school.


True, he broke Jordan's ankles on a double cross-over once.  Have you even seen that on youtube?


Yeah I have seen it. I have always said I don't think anybody could beat Iverson one on one- nobody could stop him


i agree.  Have you ever tried shooting free throws granny style?  Physicists think is the best way to do it.


I have tried. I thought it was harder, but I guess if I practiced it i might be easier.


I used to fun but i was always better the regular way.  But with anything the more you practice the better you get.


Thats true. I could make 8 or 9 out of ten every time though. I would say someone like shaq probably should have tried granny style.


Lol, no doubt.  Did you the Supreme Court building has a basketball court on the top floor known as the highest court in the land?


Thats awesome. Lol. I wanna go play there.


Not really one that plays today. I always liked Jordan though.


Yeah, I think Jordan was the best player ever.  I can't believe that some people are trying to claim that Lebron is the goat.


Im with you there. Lebron has chased championships all over the nba going from team to team, while Jordan stayed in Chicago to win all of his.


Also Lebron takes plays off the last few years and doesnt play hard on defense.  I liked Reggie Miller too


Yeah reggie could shoot. He was maybe the best ever at the three.


I think he was the best pure shooter.  Did you his sister scored 105 points in a game while in high school?


That is pretty amazing. I heard reggie scored 40 that same night she went off for 105.


I read that Reggie and Cheryl Miller used to sucker people out of money in the playgrounds growing up.  They would pretend like they were terrible and get their opponents to double their bets and then they would destroy them.


That's funny. I bet people were really surprised at how good Cheryl was. I have seen her play she is really good.


It looks like Helium will be gone by the end of the 21st Century


I thought I heard that. The earth is the largest of the four terrestrial planets.


And the first that could actually sustain life, the others would be way too hot.


Life appeared in the oceans around 4.1 billion years ago.


The podcast I was listening to today said there were also three different versions of human, one of which was the neanderthals.


Did you know that the UN appointed an ambassador to extraterrestrials just in case we make contact.


I head that.  It must be a hard job to explain to your family and friends.


I know right? But at the same time the universe is infinite, we are only a time speck. There could be another planet somewhere that has some form of life.


It is quite a possibility.  What if the other life is also in search of us and just hasnt found us yet, or isnt evolved as we are but will eventually get there.  SO MANY QUESTIONS!


I know, anything is possible. It has been nice chatting with you!


Hello. I find that kind of stuff interesting. I like to watch documentaries. Did you know that when the earth was first formed a day was only 5 and half hours long?


I heard that, it must spin slower now.  Im listening to a podcast about our universe, it is really interesting.  The earth has been around for a long time


Yes about 4 and a half billions years. I do find it really interesting, but it can make you feel so insignificant.


It really can especially considering humans represent such a small part of Earth's history.


Yes have you ever watch Cosmos? Earth is densest planets in our solar system.


I have.  It is so fascinating.  I love  Neil de Grasse Tyson


It is I have been wanting to watch it again. I remember when they showed the earths entire history was viewed as a 24 hour period  humans are only in the last 77 seconds.


That is incredible, we sure have innovated a lot, but also destroyed 80 percent of the forests.


Wow that much?That is really terrible. There are over 7.6 billion people on Earth that depend on the Earths resources.


That's interesting, I did not know that! My mail man told me he is going to start delivering packages from Amazon on sundays. Maybe that will help the post office out.


We've had a few things that were supposed to be delivered on Sunday but both times, they came on Monday. Maybe they were just super swamped with orders. We've  been wanting to visit their website where you can buy returned and like-new items.


What is the website? Is it thru USPS or amazon? Their warehouse workers must walk a lot!


I don't know the web address. We keep meaning to look at it but haven't yet. It's on the to-do list. Yes, their workers really get their exercise! It's because of all those 1-click orders that Amazon got a patent on.


That makes shopping so easy! Do you like comedy or drama shows?


Mostly comedy. Some drama but I'm not too into the violence on some dramas. It's funny that the Green Lantern was first meant to be a comedy. I just can't picture that!


I really can't understand why Even Almighty was the most expensive comedy ever made. How could it cost 200 million. It was good but, that's crazy.


I couldn't figure that out either! And that Bill murray thinks kung fu hustle is so funny.


Yes, he seems to love that and think it's the best! I never saw it. My husband loves the Monty Python series. It's his kind of comedy but not really mine. Do you like those?


No, I didn't. I'm not really in to awards shows. But a lot of people are. Did you watch?


I don't! I loved third rock from the sun though. How bout you?


Yes, we did watch that but we usually like Fraiser and Sienfield a little more. I guess comedy has been around since the very first silent movies!


No not really! Seems to be a popular topic right now though! Do you use Amazon?


Yes! We use it all the time. It's a game changer. We do our part to make it the largest internet retailer in the world. It's hard to remember that it started by only selling books.


I remember those days! We love it too. Being in a rural area it;s nice to get it right to your mailbox. I got my first Kindle from them too!


Yep, we have a bunch of their devises too. We are on our second Kindles,and our kids have the Echo too. I hear they have a publishing and a film and TV studio too.


I did not know that! I wonder if they will start producing their own movies like netflix?


Probably, since they seem to get into everything else! I guess that's why they have the arrow in their logo. Seems it means they have everything from A to Z! And they really do, when you search for things.


Thats true! and it has made Bezos rich. He actually put a clock into a mountain,


That's weird! I wonder what made him do that? I heard that Best Buy and Target will both match Amazon's prices. I guess they have to do that to compete.


I would have taken the money lol, he was only 18 back then I guess his confidence paid off in the end, now he has better deals than those


I liked how he returned to Cleveland. Remember when he first left Cleveland and everyone was so dissapointed that championship expectations were not met? Then, after LeBron wins two NBA titles with the Heat, he returns to Cleveland and brings them the gold too!  It's a great story!


It is a great story indeed, just like how James Naismith, the inventor of the game was actually a terrible coach


You can't make this stuff up!  I like the story about Reggie Miller...the one where he tries to brag to his family about his most excellent 40-point scoring performance, only to find out that his sister had scored over 100-pts that day for her basketball team.  Humility...


He is a hall of famer and one of the best players I have ever seen, did you hear about the kid that got the dunk shot banned from college basketball for more than a decade


Kareem!  A gifted athlete. And he also studied martial arts under Bruce Lee too. He was so dominant on the boards, the NCAA had to ban his dunk. But can you imagine a 7-footer throwing kicks at you like Bruce Lee?  Scary!


That sounds scary, Bruce Lee was like the best martial artists in the history of fighters,


Here's another scary thought: Ruth Bader Ginsberg hanging from the rim after she jams one home!  The Supreme court building has a basketball court on the top floor. They call it "The highest court in the land"...  I'd pay money to see the justices playing against one another!


I bet all kinds of interesting games are played at that court, the highest court on land what a name.


You like that name? Then you'll love this one: The New Zealand basketball team has a nickname...the Tall Blacks... You gotta love it!


He's amazing! Some consider him the best player in the game, and he would probably agree...


That sounds like a really racist name lol, someone would get punched in America for sure lol


I think he's the best player, maybe with Jordan, the Lakers have a sweet team this season, a lot of talented players added to the team


They have a history of attracting some of the greats, and the history continues.  LeBron made history with the Cavaliers, bringing them to their first NBA championship, so, you know he is capable of a lot!


And also the other great players like Rajon Rondo, seems like the Lakers are going all in


Warner Bros are going all in too!  They signed a deal with LeBron for a "Space Jam" sequel!


Did you watch Space Jam with Michael Jordan? I think LeBron is the perfect replacement, its going to be a great movie


Yeah. Success and money seem to follow LeBron... Did you know that his old high school used to charge upwards of $120 per ticket to see him play? Amazing.
