I took a sort of fantasy class when I was in college...mythology. It was sort of disappointing, though.


I love Mythology, but that was years ago and not in college but it was interesting. Fantasy is such an interesting thing...it could apply to so much it boggles my mind.


Yes, just Wonder Woman alone could have numerous fantasy movie sequels made.


Exactly, and you can take fantasy back to the earliest days of fairy tales by Hans Christian Andersen, not pretty fantasy but dark and scary. Daydreaming is fantasy....movies, books, tv, so much!


Dark and scary fantasy was used for kids, too. I think it was to keep them from doing dangerous things!


I wonder what she'd say if I told her I wish I could have Wonder Woman's Bracelets of Submission? What a fantasy...could be dangerous, though, I bet...


Haha, I would love to hear her advice on that one! I like how she made the man who is having fantasys about a younger woman feel at ease and told him how to handle it, she seems pretty good at her job.


Yes, some people have fantasies that could mean something bad for them in real life...


Right, but I suppose if not acted upon and they are not horrible there is no harm really, our brains are strange things sometimes. I like fantasy, either in literature or films, like The Lord of the Rings, the Return of the king, or Wonder Woman lol all harmless.


Lord of the Rings is a great fantasy! I heard it was created out of thoughts stemming from real life happenings around a war.


It is! Really? I didn't know that. Very interesting! I like funny fantasy too, like the Delorean car in Back to the Future lol, fantasy is fun.


Yes! That car is amazing...what a fantasy to drive one like it! I wonder if they will be making another sequel to that movie?


I loved those movies, so funny and interesting too! I hope they do make another. They should get the whole cast back together but they are all pretty old now.


I follow baseball more,  I love the Giants.  The warriors are definitely fun to watch!  Ive only been to 2 warrior games though lol no one is giving those tickets up.


HA! I don't blame them. I am watching baseball right now. BAL vs MIN. BAL is up 5 to 3. I am a baseball junkie!


Nice.  Did you hear about the person who found 3 million dollars worth of baseball cards in the attic?


That would be a great find! Unlike walking into Iowa's visiting locker room to find pink walls.


Yeah thats weird lol must be some tactical strategy.


It lulls them to sleep. Or they got a great deal at sherwin williams. At least they never lost 222-0.


Right that Georgia tech loss is brutal!!!


Yeah, I have never heard of cumberland so that loss may have been so bad, they disbanded the team after it.


Have you heard of the guy who never fumbled the football in his career?


Yes, Benjarvus green ellis. Played for 2 teams over 6 years. He never won an emmy though.


I do watch it occasionally,  but I do not follow it.  Did you know that the NFL uses tracking chips on the players and football?


I do know about that. I actually know the girl who does that. She flies into Indy to do it at the combine too. It's pretty cool.


Thats awesome,  work must be good then lol


It is! She even met Alex Smith. He's really smart! He took so may AP courses in HS that he entered college as a junior!


Yeah Ive heard,  thats really impressive!  Ive seen him a few times at some 49ers event or meet and greets,  never stood in line to meet him though.


Yes,  my family has season tickets to the niners, sf giants and warriors.  I only go when they dont lol But like I said I dont follow football,  and the only football games ive ever been to are 49ers.


Do you follow the other sports more than football? The warriors have to be fun going to!


It is, and all that for a match, its surprising how much water golf courses use!


I was unaware that the military operates 234 golf courses, did you know that?


I did not know that! I guess golf is more popular than what I thought.


I wonder if there are a lot of good players in the military?


There must be, I wonder if they are allow to play in pro tournaments though, Babe Ruth was a famous golfer as well


I've heard that, Babe Ruth was a great player at baseball.


He was skilled not only for baseball it seems, Samuel L Jackson is also a golf fan.


I just watched a movie by Samuel L Jackson, "UnBreakable," I want to see the sequel.


That movie was great, had two of my favorite actors when is the sequel coming out?


I think it is out, it is called "Glass," I'm going to see it this weekend.


I will google that movie for sure, Im really interested in watching it as well, theres a golf course in Dubai that needs 4000000 gallons of water per day to work


Dubai is crazy, I'm not surprised that they have a course that needs that much water.


yeah like 10 times more than a normal filed in America, that is a lot of water.


Yeah, that's crazy, duba is fun. Antarctica has a disc golf course also.


It does? I wonder what is the maintanence on that golf course.


I havent been tracking golf, it would be an entertaining match for sure, I wouldnt pay more than $20 to watch it though


I've paid to watch it, but at a the Congressional course. Pretty fun time when the drinks are included.


Well if drinks are included then I guess I would pay more, golf sure moves a lot of money.


Yeah, it's a fun time. But the amount of money some of these people take home is amazing.


it is, and the winner be it Phil or Woods, will take home the sum of 9 million dolars!!! for one game!!! I wonder how much the loser gets.


I know, it is a crazy amount of money for someone to make!


hey hows it going, do you like horror films?


oh ya I saw that, I was glad that kid in there didn't know he was making a horror movie at the time, he could have really be scarred


Yeah that could have created some serious scars, that sure is a sacary movie, do you use the internet a lot?


oh I use it all the time! my favorite button is the hamburger button, 3 horizontal lines, the name makes me hungry!


Its an interesting name indeed makes me hingry as well lol,  its a good thing the internet has a backup copy just in case.


ya It's housed in the Library of Alexandria, I wonder how much space that takes up and how often they take snapshots?


Im not sure but Im guessing it requires a lot of power and storage space,


oh definitely, also good to know that there is 3g service on mount everest, so that means I can use facebook at the summit!


It is a good thing, I would like to post an image if I made it to the top, it would be really sweet and unique


ya for sure, did you know you can get addicted to teh internet? I think I have that actually haha


Thats funny lol yeah from novelty clicking, I wonder how people get over that addiction lol,


I do like them, I dont scared easy so I find them entertaining


haha ya I just don't know, I also don't know that 7% of people read the full terms when buying products online, that seems high actually haha


Yeah lol, I know I didnt read the terms on my contract and I bet most of my friends didnt either.


well have you ever seen Bambi? I guess Stephen King considers that to be a horror movie!


I didnt, its weird considering King is one of the most renowned horror authors, I guess we all have our fears


haha ya maybe hes afraid of deer? I need to watch more horror movies you can burn almost 200 calories when watching one


Yeah lol, maybe he is and thats a great thing  I might pick the habit of watching horror films daily just to lose weight and get fit


haha you should come out with a weight loss book and that is teh secret! Also apparently you appreciate art more after watching a horror movie


Tthat is a strange fact indeed, have you ever seen a waterphone?


no but I heard about them, they make creepy noises, have you seen one?


No I also heard they are used in horror films, i wonder how they look like, did you watch The Shinning? its an classic horror film


Hello there. Do you enjoy the comedy genre? I love it because the main emphasis is on humor and I like to laugh.


Never have but seeing how it won a Golden Globe in 1997 makes me want to watch it too.


I was surprised that it beat out Seinfeld, Friends, and Frasier that year to win it.


Yes that really shows how good it must've been. The comedy guy Ryan Stiles dropped out of high school to pursue comedy. Definitely paid off for him.


No doubt.  Big risk he took.  Do you like bromatic comedies?


Yes very true. Bromantic comedies are hilarious. The hangover and pineapple express are definitely some of my favorites.


Yes dogs are definitely one of my favorite pets. I think it's so cool that they originated from wolves.


Yes!  Did you know that dogs aren't color blind...they just can't see as many different colors as humans.


I always thought they were colorblind. Another interesting fact is that there are 12 different blood types that a dog may have.


I find it funny that they also have blood drives. lol


Very funny ha ha. I also love dogs because they are man's best friend. Well so good talking to you today I hope you enjoy the rest of the day!


You have a good day as well!  Thanks for the chat!


Very cool. Another reason I like this genre is because the films typically have a happy ending, that is unless you're watching a black comedy.


Yes!  Do you know who Demetri Martin is?


Yeah he's a funny comedian. He sounds like he was a smart guy to be excepted into Harvard law and everything. You a fan of Bill Murray?


Awesome me too. He recommends watching kung fu hustle, have you seen it?


I have not seen that.  I saw that he calls i the supreme achievement of the modern comedy age.


Yes exactly. So I'm thinking maybe I should add that to my watchlist. Sounds like it could be funny.


I agree.  Did you ever watch 3rd rock from the sun?


Have you ever had to call New York using a rotary phone?


Yeah, that is pretty crazy. Do you listen to AM radio?


Rarely. What about you? I am more into FM. Do you know the band Hanson? They sang MMmbop. One time their song was the most requested song on a station in Chicago because the djs didn't reveal the band name!


Interesting. Or was it because in Canada they require 40% of the music being played to be Canadian?


Wow that is an interesting requirement. The radio was very popular in the past but not so much anymore. There is even a station that translates solar activity into sound so you can listen live to the suns music. Would you listen?


Yeah, I would listen to that, but I thought it was for Jupiter?


Oh interesting. Not sure. It would be fun to listen to both. Did you know one of the top radio acts of the 1930s was a ventriloquist? That is hard to for me to imagine because it doesn't seem like that would be entertaining!


No, which one was it? Soldiers used to listen to the radio using a razorblade and pencil.


Oh wow that is hard to believe-those soldiers must have been so smart to set that up! I am also a fan of Bill Murray and he voiced the human torch in the Fantastic 4 radio show!


Yeah, he was great in the movie Groundhog day. Did you see it?


I don't think I ever saw Groundhog Day but I will have to add it to my list of movies I need to watch! I wonder how many radio shows Bill Murray has done in his lifetime. Probably doesn't compare to Bing Crosby -in 1948 his recordings filled over half of all the radio time!


No I have actually never had to call someone in New York before. Come to think of it I have never used a rotaryphone. It's amazing to think that the inventor of the dial telephone was convinced phone operators routed his calls to rival businesses!


Yeah, I would agree with that. Bing Was Great. You won't be hearing him on Canadian Radio though!


Hilarious. Well an iphone has more computing power than the entire US nuclear ICBM deterrent.


Wow, it is so mind blowing how powerful our technology is these days! One thing that surprised me is that there is no relationship between cell phone connection quality and the "bars of service". Isn't that odd?


Interesting. What is the relationship? I've never heard of this.


Yeah I always thought the bars at the top of the phone indicated the cell signal quality and therefore cell reception but I guess not. Apparently dolphins are able to communicate with each other over the phone too. Pretty cool.


Wow, I didn't know that. Did you know it is legal in South Africa to equip your car with a flame-thrower?


haha no I did not no that-what a crazy site that would be to see! Another weird fact is that it is illegal to warm up your car in Ohio-what an odd law!


No idea maybe because when people warm up their cars and then go back inside the cars commonly get stolen. It is interesting how things vary by country. For example in India, the horns have to be very durable because they are used so often. I barely ever use my horn!


I sure do. DO you know when the drive thru was invented?


Yes that was by McDonalds way back in 1975


SOldiers were not allowed out of their cars in their fatigues


Yeah. Do you know why the trunk of the car is called that?


Yes because old cars used to have wooden trunks


Yeah. Do you know how cadillac got its name?


Yes after the founder of detroit, de la Mothe Cadillac. It was nice chatting with you


Yes and it is pretty fitting , the name. Same here.


I like some of them. DId you know KIng thinks Bambi is super scary?


I wonder why though , I guess the part where the mom is killed can be scary


I guess so but still. Did you know you burn more calories watching them?


Yes you burn 180 more calories, quite a bit


True. Also is a good idea to watch it before you go to an art gallery with abstract art


Yeah. Do you know how they make those creepy noises?


Yes they use an instrument called a waterphone


Yeah it sounds so creepy and adds to the scary effects


Hi!  What do you think about the current resident of the Oval Office?


He is a free thinker, I give him that! Problem with those that think out loud is that not everyone agrees with the thoughts... There has not been a President that wasn't either a Dem or a Repub since 1853, so Kanye doesn't have much to choose from...


Who is red and who is blue again? Those colors have only consistently been in use for that purpose since 2000.


Red stands for the party of embarrassing behavior and blue stands for the party that stinks so badly that you want to hold your breath when you are around them.  Did you know that every US President that has had a beard has been a Republican?  Why are they not known as the Fuzzy Party?


Haha, well fuzzy I associate with cute animals. Speaking of animals, Harry Truman didn't want to be photographed on the Dumbo Ride so he wouldn't be associated with republicans.


But he could have captured the votes of elephant enthusiasts everywhere!  His loss. I guess he rode a Donkey home then?


Funny. The last time a Republican was elected president without a Nixon or Bush on the ticket was 1928.


And as I recall, that time period was not a great period in our history either...  Wasn't there a great depression around 1928-1929?


And the Republicans had been dominating politics nationally between 1860 and 1932.


Population demographics are shifting markedly these days. Who knows what the future holds... and wht the effects will be ion the power structures in Washington...


Yeah I don't like to think about politics too much because it's so depressing. Ady Barkan says that hope is themost important political tool we have though.


Well I guess at least he does not release pop albums like the president of indonesia does!


I hope so.  Maybe Busta Rhymes will run for president in 2020? He already has the Rugrat vote because of his voice acting in their movie...


Haha, I liked the Rugrats. I'm going to go watch some cartoons now. Have a good day!


Perhaps he could pull one off though, how could we know?


Haha, funny, I had thought about him rapping before. I'd listen. Though he wouldn't be my favorite rapper. Eminem is.


I liked him better when he wanted to be a comic book artist. I am not anti-Eminem, I just prefer elevator music.


A Michigan Judge delivered her ruling in rap form when she was trying a suit that was filed against Eminem.


The thought of it was probably better than the execution. I doubr it will be filed under "Cultural Significance" in the Library of Congress though...


Yeah, I heard Tupac's music is there. I like his music as well.


I would love to hear some Korean freestyle "compliment battle"


What do you think about Kanye? He is a rapper and supports Trump.


Yeah you'd think the crowd wold notice that. I recently read that George Strait & Jeff Bezos are cousins. Who would have guessed that?


Not me. Lot of talent in that family huh.


Henry Ford helped finance & make country music popular because he thought Jazz was decadent.


I dont know, I kind of like jazz. In 96 a nfl country was released. Did you hear about that.


No I didn't know that. Do you read much about science especially earth science?


Yeah, my son is really into science, so we are always learning new stuff and doing little experiments.


Did you know that when the Earth was first formed a day was only 5.5 hours long?


That would really make it hard to get the yard mowed huh.


Lol, yeah I think so. Once sad thing is that more than 80 percent of the earth's forests have been destroyed.


Not really. Just never got into ito it to much. How about you.


Yes it's very sad. I enjoyed talking with you. Hopefully you have a good day.


I'm a pretty big fan. It's a fast game & the players really give it their all. In fact an average pro hockey player loses up to 8 pounds a game.


That is crazy. Did you know that a new england high school team actually beat the womens olympic team 6-3.


That's surprising & embarrassing for the women's team. I appreciate the history of the sport. Hockey was in the first Winter Olympic games all the way back in 1924.


I heard that. Allso it 1932 india beat the US 24-1 Thats kind of embarrassing as well.


Really? That's how sports are sometimes I guess. Are you much of a country music fan?


Did you know that U2 once opened for themselves in costumes as a fake country band in 1987?


I did hear that actually. Its funny that nobody noticed it was them.


Did you hear about that Instagram post about that student In Texas?


No, I did not know that. I think it's ironic that Lincoln was shot and he created the secret service that morning. I guess they weren't equipped well. Maybe if he created them a few weeks before they could have prevented it.


Maybe he had a feeling it was coming or had intel that it was coming. I love his top hat. It wasn't only for style-he kept his documents in there.


He could have kept a ton of them in that big old hat! I think it's funny that all the presidents with beards were republican, starting with Lincoln.


He sure was stylish. I kind of imagine him having a deep voice as he is depicted in film. Apparently his voice was actually high pitched!


Really? I would have never guessed. At lease he abolished slavery and modernized our economy after he lead us through the civil war.


Apparently, the man who assassinated Julius Caesar shared the same name as the father of John Wilkes Booth. What do you know about Jupiter?


Its moon would be a planet, that is if it orbited the sun.


Well, at least it's not like Venus, because it rotates counterclockwise!


Uranus actually sounds kind of cute! It rolls instead of spins!


Yes, and apparently white supremacist incidents are on the increase.


Wait, I didn't think it was still a planet by the modern day definition.


Hmm, I haven't heard that though I have heard that about Pluto!


I'm glad to see that the president of the University apologized.


A lot of students were getting really worried.


JFK Washington and Jefferson were all the top wealthiest president In American history.


If you get to be the president's guest you are really lucky. The guest house is larger than the white house.


That's interesting! Did you know that back before the 1800's The runner up the Presidential election automatically became the vice president?


No, I did not know that. I cannot imagine that happening today!


Sorry that was my bad I tried to say: Did you know before the 1800s the runner up to the presidential election automatically became vice president.  Could you Imagine if Hillary Was Trump's vice president?


That would be funny but probably not a good idea. Have you heard that the president of Indonesia released 3 pop albums while in office?


Hi. How do you feel about the rise of threats against public  figures on social media?


Heard about that - all were sent to prominent Democrats and critics of Trump, I think. Talk about silencing the opposition!


Yup so changing the topic a bit do you know how to play the guitar?


I wish. Like Eric Clapton, in my dreams! Have you got a favorite rock guitarist?


Mine has to be Brian May from Queen do you know who he is?


Yes. Bohemian Rhapsody and so much more. Did you know May has a university degree in astrophysics??


I did know that another cool fact is that he built his guitar from parts from an old fireplace and his moms knitting needle


That I didn't know! Do you prefer to listen to an electric guitar or an old-fashioned acoustic guitar?


I like acoustic guitar better, the sound is just more natural, acoustic cover of songs are my favorite ones


Yes, can be a soothing, natural sound. Speaking of stringed instruments (sort of), do you play piano?


I dont play it but I love the instrument, do you?


I feel bad about it, there are many wackos in social media


Lessons as a kid - can't play decently today. Not a fan of auto/electric/electronic piano so much. You?


Not a fan either, steam pianos were pretty nice I dont think they exist anymroe


Never heard of them. Did you know that Freddy Mercury used same piano to record B. Rhapsody as Paul McCartney used to record, Hey, Jude?


I dint know that, that piano must have magical powers lol,


Well said. Thanks a lot for chatting. Enjoy some music you love today! Cheers!!


Agree. Did you know FL congressman Carlos Curbelo forgave a 19 yr. old kid who threatened to kill him recently? Do you think that was wise?


I dont think thats wise at all if something does happen to him then he will face consequences even if his not guilty, he will be the prime suspect


Yes, the boy is still under investigation in FL, but Curbelo met w/him and kid apologized. Police also verified that kid was "not a dangerous threat". But you never know, do you?


I wouldnt want to be in the radar of the police, its kind of disturbing how 4 accounts like his comment, the must hate Carlos Curbelo


Right. US has been divided before, over civil rights, Vietnam...But today's nasty, negative vibe seems - worse. What do you think?


I think we are in a dark time, school shootings, the government is a circus so yeah, we are going thru dark times indeed


Appreciate your honesty. Hard to understand, as congressman said. "...why it is someone would...express themselves with so much hate."


Its curious but at the same time he received the threat authorities incercepted more than a dozen explosive devices


new yorks area code is 212 because its the fastest to dial on a rotary phone


have you seen bohemian rhapsody? did you know the guitarist brian may has a phd in astrophysics?


i had heard that. the guy is a genius, very gifted. i saw the film. it was pretty good, but i did like the performance by Rami.


i thought it was great. they all had phd's if i remember correctly. brian may also uses coins as guitar picks


they were all university students. i dont know how many finished their degrees. Brian tried a bunch of things to get new sounds.


well they def had unique sounds. matthew bellamy from the band muse holds the world record for most guitars smashed. seems like a colossal waste of money


i guess this is entertainment? some luthier worked to make a beautiful instrument. why destroy it?


eddie van halen set studio speakers on fire while recording a solo. i wonder if it was on purpose or if he played that violently lol?


he used to run the voltage high through the amps to get a particular sound. he had a tech that wired it up past the point of normal usage. great sound, bad fire risk.


thats interesting and yes very risky. but I bet they had fun doing it. I guess you have to do some off the wall things to have a recognized sound


most of the tone is in his fingers. ted nugent thought ed had a special rig. no, special fingers. anyway, great chat!!


Yes, that sounds right. the new yorkers are all about speed.


lol yes! the cables carrying internet data across the ocean just lay on the ocean floor. sounds risky


I guess not much lives down there. i wonder how they diagnose problems with the thing.


good question.  in 1936 the russians made a computer that ran on water. i wonder why we still dont have technology like that


I bet it wasnt really fast. it is an interesting idea though. soon we will have biological computers i bet.


the transhumanists will like that, they want to upload their minds to computers. I wonder what they would gain from that?


i guess they would have immortality? why would you want an existence without pleasure? seems odd.


Are you really immortal though? your body would die and I'd think your knowledge would become uselesss with advancements.


i guess you could add to your knowledge as a virtual being. I wonder what the point would be. we should as mark zuckerberg what it is like to be a cyborg.


Well there is website where you can listen to thousands of them for free!


Awesome!  I'm going to have to look it up.  Thanks!  Bill Murray voiced the human torch in the 1970's fantastic four radio show.


I bet that would be fun to listen to since Bill is the man! Do you know what the most expensive Disney flop was at the box office?


It was called Treasure Planet. Ever see it?


I don't think I have.  John Carter was a monumental flop as well for Disney here in the states, but in Russia it broke box office records.


Haha that is so funny! I didn't like that movie at all!


I only saw it once and nodded off during it. lol So I don't remember much.  Alfonso Cuaron's movie "Children of Men" lost over 6 million dollars at the box office.


Thats a big loss haha. Anyways, great chatting, have an awesome day!


Mortal Kombat 2 was the first game to surpass hollywood box office sales!  It's been fun chatting!


I'm good!  Do you still listen to the radio?


I do like to listen to it! How about you?


I do!  A Hanson song became a most requested track on a Chicago alt-rock readio station because djs did not reveal the name of the band.  That's funny!


I wonder how many times it was played after it was announced lol. I want to hear jupiter radio storms sometime!


I'm going to have to try to find that on AM radio.  I bet those storms sound neat.


I bet they sound better than most music today haha. Did you know that in Canada, radios are required to have at least 40 percent of the music played by canadians!


lol  I like that idea.  Probably worked better back before the internet for artists to get heard who otherwise wouldn't get a chance.


I agree! Have you ever heard of radio dramas?


I have.  I always wanted to listen to one but I don't know where to find them.


Yeah and they always lift it above their heads! lol On to something we might know a little more about.  What's the last concert you saw?


I don't get to go as much as I like.  Actually, now that I think about it, my sons school band played a concert this weekend.  Not what you were thinking, probably.


That's cool!  I played saxophone in band when I was in school.  The last concert I saw was Lynrd Skynrd last Summer when they played their farewell tour for their hometown crowd.  It was pretty good!


Sounds good.  My son plays the Sax too.  My wife took me to a show in Pittsburgh about a year back, that would have been the last professional show, The National.


Nice!  I read somewhere that  4 people filed a lawsuit against Creed, one time because their concert was so bad.  Have you heard about that?


Someone told me that recently.  You'd have to wonder what happened, did they walk off after just a few minutes?


Apparentl, Scott Stapp was so drunk and or high he couldn't sing!  That, I can imagine.


If you pay your money you want a certain level of professionalism.  Did you see that about a woman helping a stranded Dave Matthews?  My wife and I once gave a roadie a wedding invitation to give the band, they turned us down politely.


That you do my friend. I would have thought for when I went to see Lynrd Skynrd, at least 1 of them would have been down, but they were all professionals.  Sad, to hear that about your wedding. I wish they hadn't turned ya'll down, that would have been a cool story to tell the grandbabies.  Still, is a cool story!


Like I say, don't get to as many shows as I used to, most evening at home in front of the television.


Good morning, would you happen to be a Hockey fan?


Not a lot, the kids hold the remote most of the time, but when they are in bed we'll fire up Netflix.


That's about how it is around my house, also! Lol Well, it's been nice chatting with you this morning.  I hope you enjoy the rest of your Friday.


Good morning, not really, but I watch a little.  I live in Florida, I don't even know if we have a team down here? Lol


I can safely say I have never seen a whole game, maybe just a few minutes at a time, mainly when channel surfing.


Me either, looks kind of violent and I know the hockey players get their teeth knocked and so on.


I''m so ignorant that I was unaware of the Capitals success, having lived in DC for a good amount of time you'd think I'd at least be aware of that.


I can't name one team to tell you the truth!  I am intrigued to hear that an average player can lose up to 8 pounds in a game.  I'm sure it's mainly water weight from sweating, but still.  Great weight loss!


I suppose its all that padding they have to wear.  Not not making the sport any more attractive to me, tooth loss and excessive sweat.


Lol, it's not looking too attractive to me, either.


I guess they aim of the game is to win the Stanley Cup, I think I've seen that thing, it's massive, the biggest trophy I've ever seen.


Baby, by justin beiber is the most disliked video on youtube. Haters gonna hate...


Haha, I wouldn't gave guessed that. I guess Youtube doesn't have Beiber fever. I wonder what the most liked video is..


It could be gangnam style. That was so popular they had to switch to 64 bits...


I remember when that song blew up. You couldn't get away from it! Did you know there are 70 full episodes of the joy of painting with Bob Ross?


I had no idea it was that many. I do not think I have seen the show though. I just know about it...


I think I might have watched a few episodes on tv when I was younger. Do you listen to the radio ever?


I use Spotify a lot, but I sometimes listen to it. The most popular radio act in the 1930s was a ventriloquist. I wonder how that worked.


Did he get lazy at times and just not bring the puppet? It sounds like it was just a one person show with a voice actor.


It does sound that way! There's a radio station that translates solar activity and you can listen to the sun! Sounds pretty cool!


I do use it for home improvement. Do you watch it?


I watch it for leisure a lot. It's got some pretty interesting stuff if you look hard enough. Have you ever seen the first Youtube video ever uploaded?


It just a video with a young guy talking about an elephant for about a minute.


The innocence! I feel like it is more jaded now. Am I off on that?


It's definitely different now. It seems more capitalistic now, only putting the same certain people on the front page. It used to be a dating site when it began.


It's also the second largest search engine. Since google owns it, that makes sense.


Absolutely. In 2007 YouTube used as much bandwidth as the entire internet in 2000. That's crazy!


I did not, but that is just to much, that is enough for 16 years of episodes


lol, true. Did you know there is a fold in the brain that makes a difference in fantasy and reality?


Wow that is great and at the same time deep and not easy to understand. I like to watch fantasy movies and read fantasy books!


I do too. The car brand name Cadillac was named after a french explorer.


That is right, I learned that recently, his name was Antoine de la mothe cadillac, interesting name!


Really long..... he founded Detroit!  Do you know why they name the back of a car trunk?


I think it has to do with a wooden trunk that cars had in the back, isn't it!


Yes, great! makes sense doesn't it. lol How do you feel about having a flame thrower attached to your car?


I would like to!! But I would have to go to South Africa, to be able to do that!


lol, true, I think they have a problem with carjacking!


Yes, not as much as I use to. I have cable, but not alot of time. Do you?


It is like an action movie, It is completely legal to use for protection! Well it has been nice chatting with you!


Ha, I could visualize that! Good one. Good chat!!


I do not watch much tv either.. I did like the Simpsons though!! they were fun


Yes, I do too! There is only one show Bart wasn't in or mentioned. Haven't seen that one.


That is kind of strange... good is only one where he does not appear.. did you know when the simpsons crowd sent flowers?


I heard that too! The producers at the finale, very nice.


Yeah! I agree, do you remember Thomas the tank engine?


Very cool that Ringo Starr George Carlin and Alec Baldwin have narrated it!


Each one did at least 52 episodes each!!


That's alot!! Did you know there are over 750 episodes of Pokemon?


Hi there! How are you? I'm hanging out watching videos on YouTube. It's hard to believe it is the second largest search engine online.


No, I don't either. His music is better than some. I could never get into the Gangnam video, but I guess a lot of people did because YouTube had to upgrade the view count integer to 64 bits.


Haha that song was sooo catchy. I might put it on after this chat. It's funny that half of the internet traffic in North America is Netflix and YouTube.


That's a lot! I think my kids use one or the other 24/7.  It showcases a lot of fun things. Are you a car fan? It seems like the first car available to the masses, the 1908 Model T has been around a lot longer than 111 years.


I don't know much about cars, I just drive one lol. I wonder how long it will be before they are all electric?


That is a really good question, but electric sounds expensive to me. Do you know how the car trunk got its name?


I think it's because they used to carry trunks on the front. It's funny they kept the same because I think a lot of the early engines might have been in the back of the old cars


Yep, that is exactly it. I wonder if the engines were in the back. The Mcdonalds drive thru has only been around just over 40 years! It's been there as long as I can remember.


I don't remember drive thru's not being a thing. That makes actually want to get some McDonald's now.


I just had a hot fudge sundae the other day. Yum. I'm glad that in 1886 Karl Benz patented the Benz Patent-Motorwagen. I love being able to go places.


Haha aren't we all a little glad for German engineering. It was great chatting with you. Have a great rest of your night.


Hi! I'm good how are you? That's pretty funny because I'm also using YouTube. I have a Joe Rogan podcast on. It's amazing how much is on there.


Mostly just entertaining video clips and music. Did you know police have their own You Tube called Blue Tube?


Haha I figured I had something like because I know they're very fast to take down content that violates their policies. You've never heard of the show Hot Ones on YouTube?


No I have not. The police version allows them to share law enforcement videos.


Ahh cool. The Hot Ones show, this guy interviews celebrities while eating progressively hotter hotwings. It's pretty funny.


Oh jeez, that sounds funny! I'll have to look into it. I do like Celebrities so it sounds like a good match.


Did you know Justin Bieber's song "Baby" is the most disliked video on YouTube? I didn't think that song was that bad lol


I so agree! Those gestures could change peoples lives. And if the store wants to continue its business they could sell as they do but donate money or donate clothes.And think about it, like you said, Retail clothing stores could donate a few bucks a day and they would never miss it. Like when Apple had their clothing line in the 80s, they could have donated so much, they are such a huge company.


I again agree! The common thing here though is getting those bigger companies such as Apple and Rip Curl to help. More often than not it is those that themselves are having a hard time making it from payday to payday send what they have left while the rich get richer; sadly.


Exactly! These people bed down on soggy wet blankets in muddy areas for months and people who make billions a year could change so much. Hopefully the President and Government will do what they can, but won't hold my breath lol. I read about a man who impersonated a government official in France and sold the Eiffel tower...twice....How does that happen!


lol, I too love a good deal and found many while over there but the best was experiencing the food!! Oh my goodness; the danishes pastries and cheese's were so good, nothing like we have here.


Oh wow, I would love to see the Eiffel tower. I bet they have some great clothing in France as well, I bet you can get anything tailored there.


Yes, yes they do have wonderful clothing there. Lots of people have tailored clothing over there. The culture is very different from here to there. A much bigger appreciation of and for any works of art.


I bet it is amazing. It is on my bucket list lol. Is the Government there a lot like in the US?  I hope they have a great president.


Many things are similar but not quite the same, I would suggest you research many aspects before you go! For example, I read about ring ladies; they are one's that will roll a gold looking ring toward you and they try to "sell" what they found to you. I laughed until I seen it with my own eyes over there as well as seen many many signs to be aware of pick pockets.


Oh no, lol....I will definitely do my research! I am a sucker for buying stuff when people are selling anything from clothing to jewelry lol...I was in Mexico a few years back and bought so much from street vendors it was ridiculous, I had to stop....


It sounds amazing! I love food, so I cannot wait to actually be there. I wonder if politics is huge over there compared to the US. Hopefully it is calm.


We found it to be very calm with regards to politics! Unlike there, here did you know that the presidents guest house is actually larger that the white house itself?


Good! I am happy to hear that. Really?? I wonder why the guest house needs to be that big! Maybe it was built back when one of the 3 wealthiest presidents were in office! It has been great chatting! Have a great day!


I would say that is very possible indeed! The three richest presidents of all time were JFK, Washington as well as Jefferson. I will have to research more in it's exact date of being built.  And you have a great day as well!!


I am fantastic! And you? Also I find it interesting how many people are seeking asylum in the USA, pretty interesting....and sad.


Doing well, thank you for asking!! I agree and cannot fathom the conditions they must endure even if temporary. I do agree it is very sad.


I was reading about how the government is trying to process so many, I feel that it is nice to know Mexico is helping these migrants with a shower and food when they get to the border and even fresh clothes. They can stay in tents. I can't imagine.


I too have read something of similar depiction but read migrants had been taking baths, brushing their teeth and washing their clothes in a muddy courtyard in El Barretal.


Oh dear. I read about that, I suppose just attempting to bathe is a luxury for them. Some of those people are there for months sometimes. I wish I was wealthy I would make shelters for people in and out of America.


I agree totally for those well off to take a hand in helping those that are not. Just the basics of clothing, I mean even; dating back to the pilgrims were full of color and only wore black for very special occasions if simple shirts could be passed on clean and ready to wear if would help.


I agree, I think if people in general, American or not American could just care, we have no idea how good we have it here in the US. I suppose the Government will do what it needs to do. I agree about the clothing for sure.


Exactly !! We as people need to care more; I totally agree with you. Even if just a simple gesture from retail stores; for example , in Alabama there is a store that sells just clothes and such found in unclaimed baggage areas, why not donate a few days worth; surely it would help more than hurt.


No I have never heard of him! That's interesting, I'm sure he could have excelled at basketball, I have heard about 1/6 of all Americans above 7 feet are NBA players


Wow! There's an up and coming 19 year old tennis player called Shapovalov. He's supposed to be really good. I might give tennis a chance to watch him briefly on tv. Do you watch a lot of television?


I've never heard of him but I want to know more! I do, what's your favorite show?


I like That 70's show. I heard it was remade in England but they cancelled it after only 10 episodes.


I have never seen more than an episode, what did you like about it?


It's just funny and light hearted. I don't get to watch a lot because my kids always want to watch their cartoons. My son loves Pokemon, they have made over 750 episodes and I'm sure he's watched all of them.


Ahh I was always more of a Yugioh kid growing up, I remember Pokemon was always bigger though!


He loves it! That and "The Simpsons". Did you know there is only one Simpsons episode where they don't mention or show Bart?


No that's interesting! I've somehow never seen the Simpsons either but I always wanted to! Does your son like other similar shows?


He likes Family Guy but I don't like him watching it, too much crude humor!


I am not a fan, but find some of the history interesting. For example, the first US Open was won by a black player (progressive for 1968) and no black man has won it since.


Oh for sure I understand that. I think TV shows in general are becoming more varied and I'm sure he has plenty of options!


I agree. Best to spend your time on something with entertainment value. Enjoy the rest of your day!


Wow that is interesting, especially seeing how it was in worse times for civil rights for sure. What's your favorite sport?


I enjoy football the most, but like I said, tennis has a lot of interesting history. In January 2017, Serena Williams won the Australian Open while she was pregnant! Pretty cool.


That's crazy! Serena is incredible, I also feel that it's a relatively even sport with opportunity for anyone to win.


That's true! Did you realize she co-owns the Miami Dolphins? I didn't know that


No that's also interesting! Guess she does a little bit of everything. I wonder if other tennis players do similar things?


I'm not sure. I heard the longest tennis match went on for 11 hours! And I thought a regular match was boring to watch.


I agree, it definitely gets long. I used to think football was slow and boring, that's why basketball is my favorite sport!


Basketball is nice and fast paced! Did you know there was a tennis player named John Isner who was 6 foot 10 in? Funny he choose tennis instead of basketball!


How's it going, did you know audio cassettes albums began in the 1970s?


Probably a lot better than Canadian radio that by law requires 40% of the music played to be Canadian lol


Interesting, it must be not very good up there then to listen.


Well it's probably better than listening to the classical latin program 'Nuntii Latni' that is broadcasted in Finland


Yeah, that is for sure. I don't speak latin, do you?


Nope. I think I'd rather listen to the 100 year old identical twins who released a rap album in Japan


I have no idea, maybe gangsta rap since the twins released it in 1992


Did you know that babies dance when they hear music?


Yea, and babies also smile more when listening to music beats


Interesting, they can probably dance better than me. LOL


I didn't know that. What about CDs, in the 80s?


Me too. Well it was nice chatting with you


I remember reading how expensive they were back then. I prefer cds to the mp3 format that's been used since the early 2000s


What about the radio, do you listen to the radio?


Yea, it's pretty crazy how you're able to manipulate the amplitude of radio wave to listen to music on a radio


That it is. Did you know there is a website where you can listen to classical radio dramas?


No, that's pretty cool. I wonder if WWII soldiers were able to listen to radio dramas with their foxhole radios


They were, they could make radios out of razorblades and pencils.


I'd really like to listen to Jupiter's radio storms using an am radio, I wonder what frequency picks them up


I'm not sure, I wonder what it sounds like.


That would be really cool to see. Do you know much about telephones?


I know the I phone has more computing power than the entire U.S. nuclear ICBM deterrent.


That's kind of scary to know. New York's area code is 212 because that is the fastest number to dial on a rotary phone.


Only used that rotary phone a few times!  What intrigues me is that the cables carrying the phone and internet data across the ocean floor are only 2.7 inches in diameter.  That seems small as to how far it has to travel.


I've never used one before. They were a little before my time. That is amazing they are that thin and only lay on the ocean floor.


My grandmother had a rotary.  I did hear though that Unicef would donate a day of clean water to a child in need, for every minute you do not use your cell phone.  Now that is pretty cool!


That's very good of Unicef. Nice to see companies making a difference in the world.


Yes that is great!  Funny little magic trick I learned that is related to the phone, is that by having two phone books overlapping their pages it is impossible to separate!  Fun little trick.


That is a fun little trick. I had no idea that would work.


Yes I do, but I didn't know the U.S. plans to release an American citizen that was accuse of supporting ISIS.


I love to travel. It was good talking to you.


Wow, I didn't know that either. I saw that Wikileaks published the governments plan to destroy Wikileaks.


I didn't know that!  Since we are talking about the government, fun little fact is that 86 percent of the land in Nevada is owned by the U.S. Government.


Oh wow that's pretty cool. They probably have secret bases all over the place in Nevada.


I bet they do!  In 2006 the U.S. passed legislation that would protect government employees from being prosecuted for violating the geneva convention.


I believe it is also.  A funny thing in France was that a man was able to sell the Eiffel Tower by impersonating a government offical.


That's hilarious! I saw in 2008, the Norwegian government donated $1 billion to help save the Amazon rainforest.


That's awesome they did that!  I would love to travel to the Amazon someday.


The industry as a whole includes so many difference types of performance, even video games.


I like video games a bit more than musicals. Do you like Nintendo?


Of course! Who doesnt? Did you know it could only display 54 colors?


The NES was produced all the way up until '03 in Japan! Of course over there it'd be the Famicom.


Did you know people have found various ways to find entertainment for thousands of years? In 50 BC, Caesar observed people in Britain breeding chickens for fun, not just food.


Chicken breeding sounds way messier than picking up a controller.


I'm not sure they had the option over 2000 years ago. Overtime, all different forms of entertainment has been made available to all citizens, though.


Thank goodness we have music, film, and dance festivals instead of chicken festivals.


Right? And we got Bill Nye. Ya know he never would've gotten his break into entertainment without winning a Steve Martin lookalike contest?


I wonder how well Steve Martin can tie a bowtie.


Not as much as other genres, but if it's good I'll watch it! Why do you ask?


I bet they've been clip-ons this whole time.


Did you ever watch the live production of Jesus Christ Superstar starring John Legend? I love him.


I haven't, but I do like the original from 1970.


Yeah, it's crazy how it was banned for being sacrilegious to being televised live on NBC.


I guess it's just part of changing attitudes. Heck, the Vatican endorsed it back in '99.


Funny how they can behave that way, to banding together with Protestants and Jewish people to protest outside of the theater for days after it originally opened.


I wonder if part of the issue was in the casting? I know some people were upset that Judas had been portrayed by African American actors.


Especially since the entertainment industry has been around for such a long time.


It sure has. Just Superstar alone has been running for almost 50 years now!


And if one of those doesn't interest me, I could always listen to electromagnetic storms from Jupiter that can be heard on AM radio...


I would love to actually hear what those sound like.  It would be pretty neat.


Yeah. Just about the only radio I am not a fan of is that Finnish radio station broadcasted in classical Latin.


I would understand that one as much as the one of Jupiter's storms.


Soldiers in WW2 used to make radios out of razor blades and pencils, but all they could hear were Canadian stations... LOL


as long as 40% of the music is Canadian, it is all good.


Nowadays, if you are sitting in a foxhole listening to Canadian radio...well...I think Captain Jack Sparrow said it best when he said, "You need to get yourself a girl!"


Lol.  True. Isnt The Pirates owned by Disney.


Yup. Now Disney owns almost everything. Did you know that there is a subculture dedicated to finding hidden images of Mickey Mouse?  I think that quote of Cat Jack applies to those folks too.


Yeah.  And Minnie's real name is Minerva.


I do like some of her music.  I think its neat that she has 11 grammy noms.


They did, neither have won tough.  Maybe number 12 will be her lucky one.


Maybe, but Russel Brand wasn't lucky for her...


Wow, I ready how he ended it, what a jerk.


At least he didn't take the $22 million he was entitled to receive, although it doesn't seem to have bothered him.


Enough anyway. I would rather listen to old radio drama over the internet than listen to Katy Perry or Russel Brand.


Yes, they do.  On another note, did you know that the rapper drake graduated high school on october 2012 at the age of 25


That is a little late isn't it or do Canadians graduate at a later age?


Haha, that is very late.  Probably a ssllooww learner.  The beat of drake's song "hotline bling" is actually sampled from timmy thomas' 1972 hit "why we can't live together".


During a uk tour in 2011, drake spent an Obscene amount of money'' on first editions of children's classic books  Charlotte's web' and  Winnie the pooh'.


I wonder why he would do that. He doesn't seem like he is into reading seeing as though he graduated high school so late


Good question.  After hearing eminem's verse on drake's song forever, kanye west took two days and cancelled appointments to rewrite his.


Didn't Drake do some acting when he was younger?


Yes.  Drake initially gained recognition as an actor on the teen drama television series Degrassi: The Next Generation in the early 2000s.


They named a college after him too, didn't they?


I'm gonna go listen to his album on YouTube now.


I used to and love it.  Polo shirts were originally invented for tennis by famous player rene "the crocodile" lacoste and only later adopted by polo players


I once watched a match where single point lasted nearly 30 minutes. It was historic


Wow, They used a helicopter to dry the grass tennis courts for the 1969 us open


I remember when players could use just about everything for a racket except the kitchen sink


Haha, The longest match in tennis history went on for 11 hours and was spread over 3 days.


No, I sure don't.  I bet they were worn out though.


Tennis players make quite a bit of money if they win a tournament but not as much as soccer players


Many people enjoy chatting on the Internet. Do you? Do you like computers?


What about vaping though? Is that a problem? Then Apple would lose like 90% of their hipster customers!


Yeah, right? Do you watch youtube on your computer?


I sometimes watch YouTube to catch up on news and documentaries. You?


Yeah me too. It is the second largest search engine now on the internet


People are addicted to them vids! The kids can't enough of 'em! Even I go there to listen to my old favorites from back in the day!


Cool. Do you know which is the most disliked video in there?


Dislliked? I don't know. Some teen idol? Donald Trump?


Actually is it Justin Bieber, his song Baby


The Bieb! That figures. The guy bothers a lot of people. He's rich, he doesn't care. Things are going his way.


I guess so . Have you heard of Bluetube?


I do actually, I use the computer a lot. I just do not have that kind that the russians made that runs on water


Bluetube? Sounds racy. What is it, and how much does it cost?


It is actually a police YouTube. Nice chat


The water computer sounds alien, like something that Elon Musk would create. I wonder how fast that darn thing ran. As fast as Windows 8 maybe.


I am not sure since it was also a very long time ago, in 1936.


1936. That was a great year for water computers. Since then, not so good. I expected the Russians to make one that ran on vodka, but then again, vodka is too precious for computers. WOuld you upload your mind to a computer? If it ran on vodka, I would.


No I do not think so but it seems transhumanists are trying to do that. Curious to see if they succeed


If they succeed, they will have long boring lives. They will spend their time chatting on the Internet for cash to buy upgrades.


That sounds very probable. DO you have a PC or an Apple computer?


I have a PC. I have used Apple stuff though. You? Playstation?


Yeah I have an Apple so I guess good thing that I am not a smoker so as not to void the warranty


Cannot say I have tried that before,are they any good?


Yes they are and there is a free website where you can listen to them


Nice that is convenient. Have you ever seen the shoe Ikea Heights?


I have not. Is it related to Ikea the store?


Yes it is. They film it in California but the people in there have no idea about it


Wow. Do you know why Michael Caine became an actor?


I love the guy as an actor but I have no idea, why?


He was chasing the pretty girls and they were in drama class


Hahah that is too funny. Do you know why we calll them soap operas?


They were sponsored by soap manufacturers. Nice chatting with you.


I sure do, he is so funny. Have you ever seen House MD?


I have seen some episodes. Hamm used to be a drama teacher in a high school


Cool. Laurie earned $700 000 per episode in House


WOw are you serious? That guy then made so much money


He sure did. Did you know Jim Carrey does not do dramas anymore?


Really, why not? But he still does comedy right?


Yes and he does not do drama because they do not portray positivity


WOw that is deep.. Patrick Steward also was a drama teacher in university in the UK


Oh I bet too. Did you know Ireland is using facebook to rewrite the constitution


Yeah and allowing the general public to way in, sounds like a messy situation.


I do not know maybe it works for them. Did you the like button is illegal n some countries


I heard that some country in Germany i think. Did you know 1/3 of all divorces in 2011 that were filed contained the word Facebook.


My goodness, that is just too much. And did you hear about that burger king promotion?


Get a whooper for .99 cent if you activate it at Mc Donald's?


Actually , befriend 10 people and get a free whooper


Sounds like a bunch of hating to me. FB engineers wanted to originally call the like button the awesome button.


Oh cool, I actually prefer that better. Speaking of large companies, do you ever shop in Amazon?


Again all the time. Jeff is trying to take over the world in eCommerce.


For sure, they have grown so much. nice chatting with you


From time to time. do you know why it is blue?


Apparently Mark is red-green blind right?


Yeah I think that is the reason. Did you use myspace?


30% of Americans adults use FB as primary source of news.


Wow that is a lot. did you hear about myspace?


It went under but it had the opportunity to buy facebook for $75000. bad decision not buyig it


I bet there kicking themselves now that FB is worth Billions.


Four pairs. I wonder how they would do with the 5000 year old shoes though.


Their toes much suffer too.  Maybe there should be ballet boots.  If they fall, they can pull themselves up by their bootstraps.


Maybe Stephon Marbury could make an inexpensive line of pointe shoes.


Another great idea... Or use the boots that the turkey movers do in Norfolk.


Yeah, farmers used to walk turkeys from Norfolk to London in the 18th century.


That sounds like a pleasant excursion. Giant squawking birds for miles on end.


Yeah, it only marginally beats out starvation or selling the Eiffel Tower.


Well, hey man, I had a groovy time chatting with you this evening. I hope that you find the shoes that suit you, whatever you choose to do. (turkey mover)


Same here -- nice chat.  I sure won't be ballet...


Great.  Did you know Ugg Boots were invented by surfers to keep their feet warm?


Hey, don't sell yourself short! Turkey ballet!


Surprised to hear that. I wonder how the surfer would fare with 5,000 year old shoes.


They would probably make them into sandals and put dry tea bags in them to remove the smell.


Ah, yes, but what kind of tea? Free-range organic tea? NFL player Steve Smith leaves his cleats on the field after every game. He hopes to raise awareness of homeless people without shoes. I bet he doesn't put tea in his shoes.


I bet they get stolen.  So many of these rich football people and their "caring."  The need to put their money where their mouth is like Norway.  They gave $1B to save Amazon rain forests.


I wish the US gov’t would do something like that.The US gov’t owns 86% of the land in Nevada. I want to know what secret activities they’re engaged in there. Have that many aliens landed in Nevada? Is that their refueling station?


Most of that is BLM land leased to ranchers.  That other 14% must be Vegas.


A man in France pretended to be a government official, and sold the Eiffel Tower not once, but twice. Maybe he could sell the land in Nevada for the US government and then the proceeds could go to the Amazon.


Sounds like a plan... He could get in the business of selling used ballet shoes.  They can go through 4 pairs a week.


I bet it took him a long time, it would have been faster with 160mph commuter buses, what a great journey though,


The internet is faster. I can get around the globe in seconds using Google Earth. That is if I can find the hamburger button...


I love Google Earth, thats a great app, do you ever read the terms when you buy something online?


Yes, I am one of the 7% of OCD people who do, although I do occasionally live on the edge and skip a few words!


Well im part of the other 93% an incredible fact is how you can get signal on top of Mt. Everest, 3g signal


Let me guess, they have a McDonalds with free WiFi?  I could never climb Everest. I would have to rebel against my internet addition and put down my device long enough to climb... I'll just Google it...


Could be, anything is possible lol, I wonder what we would do without internet, it has become like a basic need now


Is WiFi access a constitutional right yet? The Norwegian government sent $1 billion to help save the rain forests. Now that is good use of public funds.


I dont think it is, but it will be sometime soon, and thats a great cause, we must protect our rainforests


Yes, and we need to buy back the Eiffel Tower too. Some impersonator pretending to be a government official sold the tower...twice...


Not really.  I'm a homebody.  But from my chair, the internet can take me just about anywhere. Are you a traveler?


What a great con man must he be, selling  the Eiffel Tower twice, that sounds like quite a feat.


I do like to travel, I would like to go to Mackinac Island, I hear its such a peaceful place


Sure! With no motorized vehicles, the gallop of hooves is the only vehicle-related noise pollution.


The air must be so fresh, nice destination, I also want to go to Japan, hopefully one day


Japan sparks joy for me too, although it costs about $300 to travel across Japan due to all the to highways.  So, bring quarters.


That sounds expensive, still might be worth it, did you know the Iceland has no public rail service,


They need to talk with the Dutch, who are putting in a commuter bus system that travels at 160 mph. How else would Icelanders get around?


Well they like to fly between towns and they should build a commuter bus like that one, you would get to your destination in no time


I wonder how long it took for King Kalakaua to travel around the world? He was the first, but probably not the fasted king to do so.


I suppose you would know that animals are multicellular.


There have been about 1.5 million animals that have been described by humans out of a total of 7 million.  I am glad I don't have that job.


I don't want that job either.  But someone and some people do not mind it.  That's why we found out the the estimated number of species.  7 million species is large.


God told man to subdue the earth and it does seem that we are compelled to do it.  We have found medicines in strange places like snake venom.  I have known several me that I was sure were domesticated, but none have had white patches on their foreheads.


If you see snakes with wild patches, should I pet them since they are "domesticated"? So, you said you are domesticated and you have known several -- did I understand correctly?


I had a typo.  I left the "m" off of men.  To change the subject, did you know that Netflix accounts for 33 percent of all bandwidth in North America?


Good, the topic about animal is to confusing to me.  Yes, I heard about that.  I think I'm included in the 33%.


I often am also.  I can't believe that I can't fix my typo.  I left the "n" off of men.  One of the horrible mistakes of US business is when Blockbuster did not buy Netflix for $50 million since it is now worth $2  billion.


Now, Blockbuster is gone.  They should have bought Netflix. Some people were angry with themselves out there.


Undoubtedly.  It is easy to make economic decisions in hindsight.  I wish I would have gotten out of the stock market in the crash of 2008, but I kept buying as it went down.  The guy who founded Netflix did it because he did not like a $40 late fee on a VHS tape of Apollo 13.


Yes, I heard about it.  He is very smart and motivated.


No, I do not know.  Please tell me more so that I can understand more the difference between humans and animals.


New businesses are often conceived out of such a need.  The Sony Walkman came from the CEO wanting to listen to music while he jogged.  Nice chat!


Well, animals are also eukaryotic.  That means that their cells have membranes, unlike bacteria.


Oh, I see.  I was not very good at biology when I was at school.  Apparently, animals develop white patches on their forehead when they are domesticated.  I do not notice that on my dog.  Perhaps because I'm not looking for it.


Your dog is probable still wild!  Watch out that you don't get eaten.  Animals usually eat organic material.  I am an animal and am eating a wheat based pretzel right now.


You are funny.  Apparently, Germany was the first country in the world to give animals constitutionally guaranteed legal rights.


Thanks.  It is nice when I am intending to be funny to be recognized as such.  The zoologists named the kingdom anamalia which is one of the most logical name they have used.  I wonder if I could be arrested if I stepped on an ant in Germany?


You need to try and see.  However, you might have to announce that you have stepped on an ant otherwise no one would notice.  Germany has the law - do we have similar law?  I assume you live in the US.


I do.  We don't have constitutional rights for animals, but we have local laws about animal cruelty and neglect.  The study of animals is called zoology.  That sounds like it should be the study of zoos.


Yes, you are right.  Zoology does not sound suitable to name the study of animals.


Hey hows it going? Do you use amazon? I use it all the time and its hard to believe each amazon warehouse worker walks between 7 and 15 miles on average!


Wow really? War is terrible how it destroys so many things. Drone warfare is even crazier. Jd.com is a site testing drone deliveries in rural areas so atleast drones are being used for something beneficial.


Indeed.  They have even targeted U.S. citizens with those things.   It's cool to see the private sector using them though, I guess the USPS has contracted with Amazon to deliver even on Sunday!


One of the reasons I love the US-best place to be a consumer for sure. Wish I was the first amazon customer so I could have had a building named after me!


Lol you and I both! And for only $27.95!  Can you believe that Amazon passed up WalMart as the most valuable public company?


Yeah they are such a powerhouse nowadays. What are your thoughts on wealth distribution? Sure would be nice to be a billionaire.


Well I do agree that there is too much money at the top of the food chain here in the U.S.; but I also respect the hard work and dedication many of the rich have put into their businesses.  I think the answer is to grow the middle class and leave the wealthy to their own devices.  The blue collar workers have things like the 2004 outbreak of acute respiratory syndrome to deal with; they need good insurance and a decent working wage.


Yeah thats a great point well said. It frustrates me when billionaires get special treatment or get away with things. For example the billionaire tech mogul Liu returned to China from the US despite being arrested for sexual assault


Totally.. that is one good example of money being the root of all evil.  I saw that he is also one of those who are pushing for 100 percent automation to reduce or eliminate workers.  Who does he think is going to buy their products if there are no workers to spend money on them?  I can't believe they let him walk without even posting bond, much less to leave the country!


Yeah this cannot happen. The future may be bright for somethings but it often scares me in other aspects. Hopefully we will be able to figure everything out with as few mistakes as possible.


Agreed.  We have a lot to learn still.  One thing is that people are agreeing to terms and conditions they haven't even bothered to read...  Only 7% actually read the full terms when they sign up for something online.  Great talking to you, take care!


Yeah I use it often.  That is incredible that they walk that far every day lol


Jeez that is surprising! Have a goodnight!


Yeah I was sorry to hear Jeff Bezos divorced his wife. Hard to believe he founded it way back in 1994!


That is a real bummer for sure.  I think it's amazing some of the stuff he has accomplished though, like building that clock that should run for 10,000 years


Yeah thats pretty cool. Also I didn't know Amazon owned IMDB-the movie rating page. Speaking of movies the new alladin is coming out soon. Robin Williams voiced the genie in the original and he was the first actor to start the trent of voicing animated films!


Yeah I didn't know about the IMDB thing...  it's sweet thought that they are coming out with a new Aladdin; I wonder who will do the voice for genie. I would hope they don't meet the same end as Robin did.  The pressure on them due to their wealth and lifestyles can be dangerous.


Yeah thats true. It's Will Smith this time-he should be good I think. Apparently Ethiopia has a celebrity tv chef who thinks he can solve his countries hunger problem by encouraging them to eat diverse foods. I think they just need more money.


Nice!  I'm sure Big Willie Styles will do a great job, he is very talented.  I agree about Ethiopia; they do need funding more than diverse foods lol. Hey, did you know that there is 3g cell service and internet at the peak of Mt. Everest?


Dang I didn't know that. Impressive. That would be a good cell phone commercial. The internet is a crazy thing. Apparently the library of alexandria has saved a copy of the internet-didn't know you could do that.


Lol I think that is a joke but not sure.  You know the Romans burned the original library at Alexandria while attempting to defeat Hannibal's navy.


Exactly. DO you have an iPhone or an Android?


I have an iPhone. Do you know how much computing power they have?


More than the icbm deterrent. Do you like Drake?


I do . DO you know what his full name is?


Yes it is Aubrey Drake Graham and he is Canadian


Yeah. Do you know how old he was when he graduated?


Yeah he was 25 and that was back in 2012


Yes I do, they have a secret studio for celebrities only


Yeah. Did you know RObin WIlliams did the voice of Aladdin?


all the time. DO you know why NY area code is 212?


Yes and he started the trend of celebrities doing voiced movies


Yeah. Did you know LeBron is the most paid celebrity?


It was because it was quick to dial on a rotary phone


Yeah. THe phone cables like on the ocean floor and are very slim


Yeah I wonder how they do not get tangles to the animals though


Hmm good point. Did you ever use a phone book?


No I did not but I hear if two of them get stuck together they cannot be separated


Yes. UNICEF donated clean water when we do not use our phones


I wonder how they do that as if we know, we can help more


So, Mike Pence gave a speech about creating space czar. What do you think of that?


Did you know in 2010, the United Nations appointed an official ambassador to extraterrestrials in case they ever make contact with Earth?


I did have something about that, do you believe in extraterrestrials, I have heard of sighting in parts of Nevada.


I feel there must be something. Or maybe sometime in the past? If the Earth's history was viewed as a 24 hour period, humans would only represent 1 minute and 17 seconds! Who knows about other planets!


You are right, but I have never heard of any sighting when men supposedly visit planets and space.


I don't know. Maybe this National Space Council, as it's called, will help the growing industry of space exploration.


Did you know that about 71% of the earth surface cover by water, mostly by oceans.


Wow! That's so much. The remaining 29% is land, which is made of continents and islands, and those have lakes, rivers and other sources of water.


Just to travel and sight see, it doesn't look that way, but I guess the 71% Including the water under us, like under land, under ground.


Well, I think since Congress passed legislation to give US Companies the right to the resources they mine in space, companies will explore even more, and maybe we'll get to see if there are extraterrestrials!


Yes you are right, I hope If we get to see an extraterrestrials it doesn't freak us out. I don't think that I'm in any rush.


I read about the speech, I am not sure, it seems a little confusing to me.


I guess we'll have to wait and see what Congress does next! For now I'm going to go dream of space tourism!


Hahaha, yes I agree, the three top wealthiest presidents in American history is JFK, Washington, and Jefferson, Nice chatting with you.


I hear you! I totally agree that there needs to be some streamlined license requirements for rockets that launch and return. Do you like space exploration?


I have a question for you, do you believe that man ever truly went in space, the only proof that I have ever seeing is on TV?


I totally believe it! You know Mike Pence says asteroid mining, space tourism, and space habitats are quickly becoming more than science fiction. I never thought I'd see space tourism in my lifetime!


Yes maybe, because man are getting smarter and wiser, I wonder how much money would be spent on this project?


A ton, I'm sure! I think it's worth it. The earth formed over 4.5 billion years ago, but who knows how much longer it will be around, you know?


Yes I do agree with you, Do you think this decision put the president moving in the right direction?


I think we should keep exploring space. More than 80% of the earth's natural forests have already been destroyed. We might need to start exploring other places to live. What do you think?


Wow, I can't imagine traveling to another planet, It does seem like man destroying the earth.


Have you seen the photos of the Revolutionary War-era ship in main? Sometimes it's visible, mostly during storms.


Those are so cool, I would love to go to one. Google is a dog company, and you can bring your buddy to work with you.


I didn't know they let you bring them to work.  That's cool.  You know, I can't remember one horror film aside from Cujo by Stephen King that had a bad dog in it.


If you think about it, Cujo wasn't really a bad dog. He was just sick. They truly are man's best friend.


I agree they are.  Snakes on the other hand . . . Snakes on a plane still bothers me.


I've never seen it. Like monkeys, I'm terrified of snakes, and won't watch anything that has them in it. I don't even like legless lizards.


They probably get a bad rap.  They are the best rodent hunters.  There are none in New Zealand and I've heard none in Ireland.


I want nothing to do with them. Lizards, I love. As long as they have limbs. It's kinda cool how they (snakes) can rearrange their internal organs though.


I didn't know they could.  If you touch one it feels kinda nice.  I think they scare us because some are venomous.


I would much rather encounter a dog, than a snake. They are so much nicer, and so therapeutic.


Dogs have long associated with humans.  Snakes, not so much.


Yes, I did.  I've heard it surfaced in 1958 and 2007.  It's pretty interesting.


Snakes have been associated with evil since the beginning of time.


Yes, they have been.  Hey, great chatting with you.


I love shipwrecks. Somewhere off the east coast, there are four steam engines, and you can dive there.


Dangerous diving.  Lots of WWII ships out there too.  Storms have unearthed some other stuff too like a sharp-toothed sea creature snake like thing.


That was in Galveston. A friend lives there, and said it was mayhem at the beach when the hurricane uncovered it.


I bet.  Like something out of a horror film.


Right? I love how Steven King thins Bambi is a horror movie.


He's kinda right you know - mom killed in front of baby!  I like Dean Koontz stories because there's almost always a dog and he never lets the dog die in the story!


I adore Dean Koontz. Dogs are my favorite things, they are fascinating creatures, and they can donate blood to other doggs.


Yes, and I've heard there are 12 different blood types dogs have and there are doggie blood drives!


I wonder if anyone bet on that game. What was the spread?


Who knows! I feel sorry for anyone that did bet on it!  I am thinking that cumberland had no defense whatsoever, not to mention offense. They didn't score at all!


Cumberland is a small school and I think Tech was a powerhouse at the time. Changing subjects, did you know that Apple had a line of clothing in the 80s? That seems odd to me.


I didn't know that and it does seem odd. I wonder why they don't sell them anymore.  I find it interesting to learn that north korea has a clothes line  but puts made in china on the labels.


I think it's illegal for US goods to be made in North Korea because of sanctions, so they spoof the source as China. The store in Alabama that sells clothes, cameras, etc found in unclaimed baggage at airports sounds like an unusual venture. I wonder whether they have to buy the stuff first.


Oh, that makes sense.  They probably do have to buy it first.  Everyone's got to make a profit don't you know.  Have you heard about people looking at collars to see if your clothes are tailored or not?


I guess the eye of an expert can see a lot in little details.


I suppose so.  Speaking of experts have you ever heard of Phil Collins?  He recorded the tarzan movie soundtrack in not only english, but italian, german, spanish, and french.


He has fans around the world, and is clearly a skill linguist. Well, I enjoyed chatting! Have a good day!


You are right.  Did you know that Steven Spielberg plays the clarinet in the jaws soundtrack?


Good and you?  Do you watch football and did you know there are different kinds of football?


I like to watch football,especially the playoffs. Yes, I guess the name "football" is used for many sports around the world. How about you?


I like football, american football that is too.  It's gotten to be very popular I think.  Back in the 1960's bowlers made more than players and now look at what players make!


The media really have changed the image of football. The number of expensive stadiums around the country is astonishing.


Oh I agree with that.  The size of those stadiums is astonishing too.  ESPN won an emmy just for creating a yellow line on screen to show first down markers.


I find that line quite useful for following the game. Seems like such a small thing, but I guess it was revolutionary.


I like it to but an emmy?  My point is that football is important to a lot of people and the media make it so and it's important to the media.


A mutual admiration society. I think it's funny that the University of Iowa's locker room for visiting teams is  painted pink. I wonder whether that has any effect.


I've heard about that too!  I think it might have a humorous effect. The guys have to laugh about it.  I'd like to see the georgia tech-cumberland game from 1916.  It's the highest scoring game ever.  Georgia tech defeated cumberland 222-0!


What do you think about Ryans message on fathers day? I think he made a mistake.


That would be funny and at the same time painful to watch lol, but I think it would be more worthwhile than building a  wall at the border


Maybe if he immersed himself in other cultures he would understand the struggles of foreign people.


I agree, he has to put himself in the shoes of others, so anyway have you ever had an IPhone or heard about Siri?


Never had a iPhone. Have heard about Siri.


Well you can ask Siri just about anything and it will usually have a responce, Siri is the virtual assitant of Apple phones, tablets etc.


Siri keeps track of me and everything I do? Sounds suspicious.


Sounds kind of fishy I agree, you know it was supposed to be the voice for Android and Blackberry but Apple bought the rights first.


Apple has the money! Technology is convenient but it can also be intrusive.


I agree with you, tech can be intrusive for sure, specially when every question you ask is send to a data base in North Carolina


Well, I enjoyed chatting with you! Have a good day!


Me too have a good day and be carefull with Siri you never know who is watching.


We fish, we hike we do something, and then he said we got to the store ger some benison out of the freezer and I grill a huge smorgasbord. I guess this was taken out of context.


This was a father's day message? I don't quite understand it. Are you interested in the US presidency?


I follow politics, not sure if im interested but I think its important to be updated on the latest news.


In Guatemala close relatives of former presidents cannot legally run for president. That wouldn't work for the Bushes or the Clintons.


I guess that is a fair rule to prevent dictadors of an authoritarian regime to come to power.


The democracy is in question though. Five presidents have been elected while still losing the popular vote. Something seems wrong about that.


I agree, I guess we dont have the best election system, theres a lot of flaws. Did you know the president of Indonesia made three pop albums? I'm glad our president hasn't done that.


You never know! He still has time in office! Maybe he's do something with Kanye West.


Hum...You know it took the secret service 4 days to realize the white house had been shot at in 2011.


was there a govt shutdown? maybe there was a govt shutdown. that would explain it.


Yeah but can you explain government shutdown, lol. Bush put solar panels back on the white house.


Bush finally reversed the insanity of reagan. what is wrong with solar panels? what, are they too hippy?


Nothing wrong at all just a known fact i think it was a good idea. Lead by example.


yes, bush had the right idea. i wonder what trump has done about the panels. are they still there? are they on the guest house? i have questions.


Me too my friend i'm sure he thinks he's got bigger fish to fry. However why is the guest house bigger than the actual white house?


I think that the guest house was built later and might have to host a large number of guests. Other than that, I dont know. I bet that trump is jealous.


Right, more so because he's not one of the top 3 wealthiest presidents.


I bet he will become one during his presidency!


I try not to think of him as much as possible. You?


Yeah just like the president of Indonesia, right? You too my friend have a good day.


Same here, that was too funny. Let's move on then. Did you know that there are two identical white houses in two other countries?


why would there be two identical white houses? is that true? where are they? why are they?


I'm not sure why but they are in Ireland and France.


I understand France. they were an ally in the revolutioary war. but ireland? hm.


Right i don't know. You know Roosevelt banned Christmas trees at the white house?


He was a conservationist. but then again he hunted animals. kind of a mixed message there.


right i do remember reading that when he was sworn in he did not use the bible so maybe it has something to do with that.


he swore on the constitution. he thought his duty was to the law, not a god.


What do you think about the Orioles and the signing of Alex Cobb?


Really? I wonder why it doesnt happen often, I havent seen it, that would be interesting to see though.


nope I think they should do that more, do you like the Yankees?


I think they are a great team, the team has a lot of history for sure, do you like them?


I do actually, they win a lot and I like winning teams haha, I guess they were created in 1901


Its a winning team for sure lol, you know that in 1973 pitchers just swapped families permanently, that seems really odd


haha wow that is odd, pretty dumb how Ben Affleck refused to wear a Yankees hat because he was a red sox fan


It does seem dumb but I guess I can respect that, he must feel identified with his team, you know that a player got suspended because he refused to get a haircut!!


wow that seems dumb! kind of weird that their uniform doesn't put names on the backs, they say it takes away the attention from the team


Yeah so what do you think about the World Series? its been played for more than a hundred years a lot of history there


ya I don't watch it but I'm glad its there, I guess its ya been going on since about 1903


well I think theyre doing what they need to do but I don't know much about baseball, do you?


Yeah since the year 1903, its been a long time for sure, the Chicago Cubs were the first team to win it back to back,


yup and then they didn't win it for like 70 years or something, I guess the Dodgers have lost more world series than any other team which also stinks haha


I know a bit, I tend to follow some of the games and I think that it was a good call, baseball is an interesting sport indeed, many cool facts about the game


oh ya for sure, like how the MLB uses 160k balls in a given year for all their games


Thats a lot of balls, just like a single couple used to schedule all of the 2430 games of the league, seems like a lot of hard work


that does seem like a lot of work, did you hear that a 17 year old girl struck out Babe Ruth, I wonder what happened to her


Really? a 17 year old struck out one of the greatest players of the history of the game!!! thats crazy!!


yup, she should have gone pro, do you know what happens if youre in the outfield and catch a ball with your hat in baseball?


well you apparently get 3 bases, I never knew that


Good morning, are you a fan of standup comedy?


I like Comedy Central, I haven't watched it as much lately because I have been watching Netflix and Amazon Prime more.


Comedy Central may be very particular on how they do comedy.  I've heard they've canceled over 100 shows since they started back in 1989.


That's a lot of shows to cancel. I know from watching Daniel Tosh's show he would reference a show they canceled quickly each week.


Really?  I guess they are selective then.  i've never watched the channel. Do they do different types of comedy or just one?


They have a lot of original programming so they broadcast a wide variety of comedy. They also air original stand up comedy specials as well.


So have you ever seen ken jeong perform?


I have not seen him perform his stand up yet. He just released a new special on Netflix. I have only seen him in movies and on TV.


Yeah, i haven't seen him either.  I heard he used to be a doctor of some kind.


Yes he was, it's a pretty interesting career transition from being a doctor to being an actor.


Especially to a stand up comedian/actor.  I wonder what made him do it.


good morning. I am a little bit of a fan. Are you a fan?


He must have really felt the calling to it. It was fun chatting about comedy with you, have a great day!


Yes, I've been trying to go to a lot more shows lately. I recently saw Bill Burr and he was very funny.


That's cool.  I like comedy movies and tv shows.  Have you ever seen 3rd rock from the sun?


I have watched a few episodes but I didn't follow it closely? How about you?


I've seen a few. I heard it beat out Seinfeld, Friends, and even Frasier for the best comedy award in 1997.


That was a lot of great shows nominated at once. I watch a lot of Brooklyn Nine Nine now, I think that's one of the best shows on TV.


I've never seen it but I have seen the commercials and it looks funny.  You are right about all those great shows.  Sounds like there was a lot of good comedy back in 1997.


It's definitely not the same these days as it was back then. I think the rise of cable prices has hurt how many people are watching TV.


Speaking of cable tv. What do you think of comedy central?


That's interesting!  Do you watch much television?  Ever a fan of "That 70s show?"


I have watched that 70's show on TV. It was one of my favorite shows to watch when it came out! Do you like it, too?


I loved it.  I recently found out that they made a UK version of it called "Days Like These".  They only made 10 episodes.  You can find them on Youtube.  It's funny because the characters names are the same, they dress the same, and have the same quirks and personalities as the 70s show characters.  Even the different car scenes at the beginning are the same just with different music.


That's pretty funny! I wonder if the show would have included Facebook if it was as out at the time? Can you imagine cut-scenes to the characters Facebook walls?


lol I never thought of that.  That would be neat!  I can't believe how popular Pokemon is.  There are over 750 episodes.  I never quite understood it.  My kids like it though.


Well, I thought the card game was ok. Magic cards is better. I remember Neopets coming out. I heard the like button was once going to be called the awesome button. I wonder why it's not.


Hmm...I don't know.  Interesting.  Facebook's like button is illegal in the German state of Schleswig-Holstein.  I don't know why though.


I thought besides the like button that Facebook also used to have an unlike button like Youtube?


You know what?  You're right!  They did have a dislike.  Maybe they got rid of it due to advertisers demands because they make most of their revenue from ads that appear on the screen?


I heard that instead of that they give the Facebook users the option of putting in an emoji. I wonder if it's all because they don't want people to be offended?


Yes, I sometimes do. Do you? I hear Facebook is mentioned in lots of divorce filings nowadays.


I would say that you're probably correct.  It was nice chatting with you!


Yes sadly.  It's a bad thing for that.  Burger King once ran a promotion where if you unfriended 10 people on Facebook you would get a free whopper.  Some of those people who had to file divorce because of it should have taken them up on their offer. They could have gotten a free whopper!


I think so! Facebook is so popular that over a quarter of Americans use it as their main news source!


That's crazy I think.  Don't you?  I see so much trash on there or biased stories.  Facebook is valued at over 104 billion dollars now!  Wow.


It was hard enough to believe some of the news on TV, but I agree, the stuff you can read on Facebook is sometimes absurd!


Yes.  Myspace turned down an offer to buy Facebook for 75 million in 2005.  Bad move on their part.


That's interesting because Facebook is blue like the Democrat party and Myspace was Red like Republicans and I heard that Democrats are projected to dominate in the future.


I never noticed that about the colors.  Mark Zuckerburg must be a democrat because he made Facebook primarily blue because he suffers from red-green colorblindness.  lol


Maybe it was a happy consequence for him and Facebook. I heard that red was once a more likable color for people but now it's blue. Something about the sub-conscience.


Hi there! How are you today? I've been watching TV.


Oh, weird. I heard the actress that portrays Eleven's mom has lived her whole life with no legs.


Holy cow that would be tough. The Stranger Things title font is also used in Paramounts fbi piracy warning!


It would be tough. Oh, weird about the font! I am not into this type show, but I love shows like Judge Judy. Amazingly enough she is one of the highest paid celebs making 123k per episode!


Oh wow. Yeah that is a good show. Do you like youtube? YT celebrity Jenna Marbles makes 346,000 per year!


I do not know who that is. I know You Tube is the second largest search engine on the net though.


Yeah so much power. Guess who was the most overrated celebrity in 2007: Paris Hilton lol.


Yeah, I have not heard about her lately. I know You Tube was started by three former Paypal employees. What a good move!


Yeah I thank them for that because I use it so much. It was created back in 2005! It is a google subsidiary.


Did you know police have their own type of YouTube called blutube where they share law enforcement videos?


No I wonder if it helps catch criminals? Most of the content uploaded to youtube is by individuals but youtube also has some paid partnerships as well.


Hey oh nice me too! What are your thoughts on politics in Hollywood? I think it is ridiculous! Event the kids choice awards are getting involved!


I am not sure, but I'd think so! Youtube and Netflix make up half of peak internet traffic in north America. That might be why the cops have their own.


Yeah good point. Google actually created a network that watched 10 minute youtube clips to recognize cats. Nice chatting with you!


I have heard that The Nickelodeon kids choice awards got political.


Yeah. Even back when they did their little voting campaign. MTV even paid to bus people to a march in Washington.


That's insane! I know Jaden Smith was a presenter that announced his presence at the March of Our Lives.


Oh interesting. I think actors should just focus on acting. Like the Stranger Things tv show was amazing. So glad the Duffer Brothers created it.


Yes, agree! I'm not familiar with that show, but I think celebrities or celeb for slang should be neutral.


Oh the show is great-it's on Netflix. Celebs are popular though. There is a guy with the same name as Justin Bieber who was banned from FB!


Haha-that's great. Was it the show originally based on a secret government program involving the kidnapping of children for use in mind control experiments?


Yeah exactly! And actually David Harbour is an actor on the show and he tore his Achilles before!


Hey, how are you doing, you a Bryce Harper fan by chance?


No doubt. There  is a golf course in Dubai that uses 4 million gallons of water, that is ridiculous.\


I wonder how Dubai even has that much water, the city is literally in the middle of a desert!


For sure, I can't believe there is that much disposable water there. There's more golf courses than land mass in Delaware and Rhode Island.


Well, they do take up a lot of land and that is exactly why they are so expensive in Japan and South Korea.


I'm not sure at all, it doesn't really ever have a standard playing area so that makes it interesting I guess too.


Do you watch Game of Thrones? It is a very popular TV show.


The fantasy drama show that is on HBO? I do. Did you know all the countries they film in, it's crazy long.


Yes. Charlie Chaplin's granddaughter plays the character talisa maegyr in GoT


Oh that is pretty cool, I have not read the novels, A Song of Ice and Fire, have you?


I have not either. Anyways, thank you for the wonderful chat!


No, sorry but I also  do not know who he is. Are you a fan of him?


It was, I hope you have a great rest of the night, take care!


Not really, I have only see him play a few times, do you like baseball at all? He is on the Nationals.


Ah, do you happen to play or watch golf?


I do not, I can watch it once in a while, I'm just not very good at all, what about you?


Neither am I, although I also do occasionally watch it. Did you know that American golf courses consume around 312 000 gallons of water a day!


I did not know that, what a waste. Did you know Michael Phelps is an under armour athlete? I would have never guessed.


Neither would I. Babe Ruth was once America's most famous golfers.


Oh wow, I never knew that. I always got the rough and fairway mixed up the first times I golfed, thought I was doing good but realized the tall grass is not good!


Well, neither is hitting the ball into a lake, which I have done once on the one occasion that I have played golf.


Hello there, do you enjoy eating fish or any seafood?


Holy cow, that is amazing!  Ten times its weight is incredible.  Did you know that 84% fo the genes known to be associated with human diseases have counterparts found in zebrafish?


I did not know that, interesting fact I will use it next time I have dinner with friends, that would definetly impress them.


Yeah that is definitely impressive to say the least.  On a different subject, are you much of a car fan?


I love cars, I have a Ford, you know Ford was the first company to mass produce cars.


Nice, yeah I remember them teaching us that in grade school, the whole assembly line production technique.  Do you know why they call trunks, trunks?


I guess they are called that because old cars originally had wooden trunks on the back, so I guess even though they stopped being wood, they kept the trunk.


I see, well heres an interesting fact for you, its crazy but in South Africa you can actually equip your car with a flamethrower and its completely legal.


that is like a real life game of grand theft auto or something.


It is lol, luckily that not legal in America, would you imagine the caos?


Yeah I couldn't imagine, I'm sure there would be plenty of crazy people that would install something like that.  Well it was nice talking with you today.


Yeah same here, I am a big fish lover.  Do you know much about fish in general?


Not much, I know they all have fills that lack limbs with digits what about you?


Interesting, I know a little bit myself.  I know that the seahorse is the only fish to have a neck, I think that is pretty cool.


Realy, the only one? thats interesting, you know theres a type of jellyfish that can live forever!


Yeah the only one!  And really!?  I think I have heard that before, I think that is so cool too!


It is cool I didnt know there was an immortal animal sure be interesting to research it further, its as interesting as the black swalloer fish.


What is so interesting about the black swalloer fish if you don't mind me asking?


Well interesting fact about this specie is that they can eat preys that are twice its lenght and ten times its weight.


Did you know that George Washington was the only president to have received 100 percent of the electoral votes. He must have been well liked


That is a lot of jobs. I do not watch Pokemon but to think they have had 750 episodes makes me want to check it out and see if it is good.


Wow, that's a lot of episodes! Weekend Update has also been on many episodes of SNL. It debuted on their first episode and is the longest running skit.


That is my favorite part of SNL. Do you watch reality shows?


No, not really. I did used to watch Shark Tank but it's not really realistic. Most deals made on that show are never enacted.


That is true. I like reality. Gordon Ramsey is crazy . I would never want to work for him.


I prefer comedy. The Green Lantern was originally supposed to be a comedy starring Jack Black.


Jack Black is funny. Any movie with him would be good.


I'd rather go to a big party than watch any tv or movies though. I'd like to attend Meat Week in DC, which culminates in a big closing party.


That would be interesting. I like that they offer 3 meats and 3 sides for $28. Not a bad price for all that food.


I also like to watch the Super Bowl at the bar like at Ventnor Sports Cafe. How about you?


Interesting! Would you buy a chicken mcnugget that looked like him? Somebody did, for $8100


I like the Puppy Bowl Better and they have great specials at Dodge city for it.


Yeah, that seems cute. They show it on the big screen.


No, I wouldn't . Did you know that Washington DC's flag is based on Washington's coat of arms. Makes sense in a way.


People really respected him. There is even a painting in the Us Capitol Building that depicts him ascending into godhood. Seems a bit much.


That is a bit much and it is crazy that no one is able to outrank him even today.


Well, he wasn't perfect. He has the record for longest overdue library book, 221 years.


Wonder what the late fee would be on that book.
