Yes I've actually driven in a Tesla before, what about you? I like that they have a lot of vehicles coming out like the model S and model X these days


Really, didn't know that? 1955, they had all kind of different moves then. Good chat!!


Thank you you too! And watch out next time you see a ballet dancer, apparently some ballet slippers can make drawings out of the performers movements on the floor


Yeah, I heard they were coming out with new cars. Exciting!! What do you think of Elon Musk? I have watched him a few times in interviews.


Yeah he's very entertaining and interviews I think. It is crazy to me though that the Tesla Model S is so safe that somehow it broke the safety testing equipment, I don't know how that's possible LOL


Really, I agree, How does that happen? Saw where he took a  $78 million pay cut in 2014.


Yeah that is impressive. It's also impressive that Tesla releases their patents in order to encourage competition, I definitely would not do that if I owned the company haha


Most people wouldn't, wonder why? To help the environment? Who knows he probably got something else better lined up!


Yeah I agree. It's crazy though that they named themselves after Nikola Tesla, but they're not the only company that was named after him! There is another car company called just Nicola apparently


Interesting, I owned an electric car for 3 years, it was an easy car to drive. My husband named it the phantom! He could never here when I got home. lol


Haha well that is one benefit of the electric-car then! On a different note though, what do you think about Fox News? Apparently they broadcasting over 86 countries around the world


It's crazy to think how connected our world is. Over the past decade, Facebook has exploded into one of the most popular sites on the internet


That seems like a "Zuckerberg" thing to do. And on top of that, the like button is illegal in a German state. Now that's pretty 'awesome'.


It is crazy we do not hear about the other founders like


Yeah, and social media has gotten so crazy as of the last few years that people have a serious addiction to it now.


30 percent of adult americans get their news primarily from Facebook


That's crazy considering Facebook's algorithm is pretty much to pander to them for ad money


a lot of ad money....there are more people on facebook than people in the world 200 years ago


Really? That's crazy. That both says a lot about Facebook's reputation and about how fast our population is growing.


There are even 58 gender options on Facebook!


That's awesome and really progressive, although 58 does seem like a lot. Personally, I've been trying to cut back on Facebook, it's taken up way too much of my time in the past.


Me too, Im just going to Egosurf and look up myself instead lol.


Yes, crazy for sure.  Facebook HQ is only a few miles from me in Menlo Park, ca


Haha yeah. It's best to just stay off social media altogether and breathe in the real world


That's pretty awesome, and it's now so much more than just connecting with friends. It has influence over almost everything we see - good or bad.


Smart how they used schools to spread it like Stanford and Harvard.


Yeah, it's even leaking into the government - positively I may add. Iceland is using it to give their citizens a new say in rewriting their constitution.


And in finland everyone has the right to an internet connection


Yeah, we've come a long way in the last 100 or so years. I mean, an iPhone has more computing power than the US government's nuclear deterrent.


Yes so fast.  Just in 2001, Neopets was 8 spots in front of google for the most traffic!


Oh I used to love neopets haha. It was the first time in my life I couldn't take care of something hahaha.


Did you know the like button was going to be called the awesome button


The machines dispense food in exchange for plastic bottles, so I think people feed them.


Yeah but I would think that if they just gave the money to the humane society it would probably help more animals.


Maybe they could open another dog blood drive with the money. Did you know they had those.


I didn't, it is really cool that they do though.


Yeah dogs actually have 12 different blood types.


They are really smart animals too, they understand pointing


Yeah the only other animal that can do that are elephants.


They are pretty awesome!  Maybe I should get a dog, so it could be my best friend.


They are mans best friend. A lot more loyal than most humans are for sure.


Definitely.  Good Chat!  Have a good night!


I dont have one, but I think they are pretty great.


I dont currently have one either. Did you know that it is a common myth that dogs are colorblind.


Yeah, I heard that isnt true.  They can see color, just not as much as we can.


Did you know that google actually prefers dogs over cats. Weird stance for a company to take in my opinion.


I agree.  I wonder how many cat lovers take issue with that.


Im not sure., but it actually states in their code of conduct that they are a dog company.


I wonder if they are going to help develop those dog vending machines that they have in Istanbul.


Not sure. It sounds like a good idea. I just wonder how many strays it actually helps. I would think that only a few would even be able to find them.


That is true , $32 million is a lot of money


He could invest in an NBA team, or and NFL team, or start his own shoe company.


Like Jordan did and made so much money off of it, millions


He tried to come back, but I don't think it's ever a good idea. Once you retire, stay out. You can do endorsements to make cash. Think of LeBron. He'll do that.


Yeah LeBron always played it smart. He once even raised $6 millionn for a charity


His generosity goes unmatched in the NBA. Yes, he makes tons of dough, but he doesn't have to give it away. I wish more athletes would do that. I guess it's tough because they don't know what their earnings will be.


Yes that is true. And he will also be in the sequel of space jam


I guess it was inevitable. The next big hoops star will be in the next sequel, too. Will Bill Murray be in there?


Maybe he will. Did you know LeBron rejected a deal from Rebook for $10 million?


He was only a kid, but he already knew his potential value to the big brands.


I sometimes watch the NBA, usually around the playoffs. What about you?


Yeah he did and that is how he got $90 million deal from Nike. Nice chat :)


With Indiana Pacers. He was super good but his sister was always better than him


His sister? Wow, you don't often get to hear something like that


I guess, yeah the woman broke 8 records and scored 105 points


Oh boy. She set the bar high for Reggie then. I wonder if Reggie got any sponsorship deals like Allen Iverson.


Yeah I am not sure but Iverson got a lot from Rebook


When he turns 55, he gets enough money to buy part of a team.


Interesting.  Do you ever vote for the governor in your state?  I do.


I do. Can you believe when Arnold Schwarzenegger was governor of CA he never lived in Sacramento, instead he commuted 3 hours every day by private jet.


Didn't know that.  I bet that would get old though flying like that every day.


It is certainly a lot. Did you know the Beatles song Come Together was actually written for Tim Leary's 1969 CA Governor campaign.


I had no idea.  Wonder why a British band at the time would write a song for an American election?  Interesting.


Very! Did you know Ralph Lawrence Carr was the only Governor to oppose the internment of Japanese Americans during WW2?


I didn't know that.  I've heard about when they did that though to those people.


In 1934 I see that North Dakota's governor declared martial law and seceded from the US.  I'm learning all kinds of new things today.


Wow! Well, Texas elected their first female Governor, the second in the nation, before some states even ratified the 19th amendment.


I do. I just learned that the Republican Party was founded by anti-slavery activists. Surprising.


Looks like Texas was ahead of the times!  Thanks for chatting!


I never knew that.  There hasn't been a US president who wasn't a Republican or Democrat since 1853.


That's a good thing! Did you know in 1957 President Harry Truman visited Disneyland and refused to be photographed on the Dumbo ride so he wouldn't be associated with the Republican Party?


That's funny!  Consistent use of the red and blue colors for Republicans and Democrats started in 2000.  Could have swore they used those colors before then.


Really? I thought so too! Did you know Nevada is the only state to have a "none of these candidates" voting option for Presidential elections?


I didn't know that.  Every US president with a beard has been a Republican.  Interesting.


Huh. I never noticed! Hard to believe voter turnout for US Presidential elections hasn't breached 62.8% in the last 100 years.


That's an amazing statistic.  Wow.  Since 1900 the taller candidate has won the US presidential election 75 percent of the time.


Oh that is funny! During the 2012 US elections international electoral observers were blocked from the polls in 9 states.


Hello there, do you know much or are you a fan of jazz music?


I think they are really cool and don't get as much attention and credit as they deserve.  How about you?


I share your opinion, the emperor of Japan is a scientist, he has published several papers over the years


That is so cool they have someone so smart in charge of their country.


I agree after all the president is the head of state and is in charge of really important decisions, Harvard scientists are also amazing, did you hear about the GIF experiment?


No, I did not hear about that, what was it all about?


Ok so apparently they were able to store a gif animation inside the dna of a bacteria!


That is wild stuff, it makes me wonder what I will all see in my lifetime.  Wow, so crazy.


I know right, and there more things to come, more discoveries as long as scienties exist.


I agree, and as long as young people continue to get involved, that is the key.


Yeah did you know Harrison Schmitt is the only scientis to set floor and walk in the moon


I do like Jazz, I think it has a nice melody, what about you? what kind of music do you like?


No, I didn't but that is very interesting.  Well it was nice talking with you today, I hope you have a good day.


I like jazz as well, it's not my favorite but I do like it quite a bit.  Do you know where jazz originated?


No not really, if I had to guess I would say that in the United States, do you know where?


Yeah you are right, it started in New Orleans in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.


I see, I wonder why they grew those awefull goatees, they look really out of style


Yeah those do, but I guess they did it for comfort over style, or at least that's what they claim.


I see that makes more sense, did you know that even Pakistan has a jazz orchestra and apparently is really good


No but that sounds really cool, I wonder if they have videos to watch on YouTube?


I bet they had a few video there, so what do you think about scientists?


Hi tucker, what do you think about the us president, do you think he is doing  ok job?


I pretty sure it would, I wonder how the name banana came about for the president of Zimbabwe?


ya I wondered that too, and does he have like a vice president Plantain? haha


That what I believe, this is the first I heard of this president.


what are your thoughts on the election rules change of 1805? apparently the runner up would become the vice president


I would think that was fair, that way both runners will win a position in the house.


ya, imagine the chaos of Trump and VP Hillary, so I don't know, do you know who the only non-human to testify before congress was?


You are right, I haven't thought about it that way, they couldn't agree on anything and nothing will get done. the entire term they serve maybe fighting.


ya I could see that, and yes Elmo actually testified before congress and was the only non-human ever to do so


Oh really, I enjoy reading about Chief Justice John Roberts, he always seems like an easy emotional person.


oh? what did you read about him, I just know that the us congress has annual baseball games and the republicans are leading by 3 wins overall


I don't know I don't really get involved with politics, but I do know the top 3 richest presidents and apparently Trump isn't one of them which is surprising


I didn't know that much about him, but few late night comedian tease how he cry on most Issues.


ah I didn't know that, do you play fantasy football? apparently there is a fantasy congress that people also bet on


No, it's JFK, Washington and Jefferson, I am sure about JFK, but wondering about Washington and Jefferson.


ya I was thinking that the list must be adjusted for inflation, also weird that the white house is smaller than its guest house


True, do you have any Idea where the guest house located?


no I don't actually, last time I was in DC was for my middle school trip, what about you?


No, I am not sure, I have lived in washington dc and maryland, seen the white house many times, but never the guest house.


what do you think about the pres. of indonesia releasing pop albums? Do you think Trump should make an album with Kanye? haha


HAhaha, It wouldn't surprise me if he does, that will be entertaining and will blow youtube up.


haha maybe the royalties from it would bump him into the top 3 wealthiest presidents haha


Yeah, I forgot. I haven't been to a live game in a long time.


Did you know that the average earnings for an NFL player is less than that of an engineer?


I can believe that. And for the MLB player as well.


Yeah I think it is mainly do to the short careers that pro ball players have.


That's probably true. That and the players that aren't very good likely don't make a lot.


Hey that is very true as well, still the same short careers as well.


What about youtube, do you ever watch it?


Oh yeah I use YouTube all the time, I use if for music a lot.  How about you?


I listen to it a lot as well. I find it is a good service.


Yeah it really is, I find it interesting how its the 2nd largest search engine on the internet.


Hello there, I am a fan, I mostly follow my favorite team though.  How about you?


WOW! That I didn't know, but I can believe it. Nice chatting with you.


Me too, my team is the Redskins, what is yours?


Nice, I am a Packer fan.  Did you know there is no rule regarding female players in the NFL?


It wouldn't surprise me that there isn't. Did you know there is only 11 minutes of live gameplay in an NFL game?


That is pretty crazy, I don't think most people know about that fact to be honest.


There is a lot of standing around during the games, that I will admit.


Yeah there sure is, I know you notice it when you attend live games but not so much when watching on tv.


Oh for sure. At live games it is like 100 times worse.


Yeah so much worse, you get to see what really happens during all the commercial breaks.


Did you hear about the parents that biked 10,000 to see their child compete in the Olympics?


Yeah only 10 episodes.  That is what you get when you make a show verbatim.


Yeah it clearly didn't translate well. You mentioned the Simpsons. Did you know there was an episode where Bart didn't appear?


I heard that, you think that episode would be memorable, but I cant seem to recall it.


Yeah I should look that up on Google. In fact, a single Google search requires more computing power and it took to send Neil Armstrong and other astronauts to the moon.


That is so hard to believe.  Going to the moon is no easy task.


It definitely is not. It would be so cool to go there one day. I didn't know that YouTube is owned by Google.


Wow they must've been so smart. Everyone uses Google. It once went down for five minutes and it took 40% of web traffic with it.


I bet everyone was freaking out too.  The internet is so important.  Google also uses Goats as lawnmowers.


That is so funny I would love to see that. I wonder how much money they save by not hiring people to mow their lawn's?


yeah that is so cool. Those people in Switzerland must be in such good shape. They definitely took the scenic route.


Probably enough to make it worth it, plus they have goats, that would be so cool!


Yeah that would make breaks a lot more fun. When there is a disputed border Google maps Tailor's it's map to the claims of each country where the Internet browser is located. I think that's an objective way to do things.


They did, that is definitely commitment!


Yea sounds like the Olympian who competed knows how crazy their parents are ha ha. Although they did have to take one flight to bypass North Korea!


I heard she finished just our of contention, in 4th.


Bummer. So close to getting a metal. I'm sure her parents were still so proud though. I love watching the Olympics. I usually watch on TV as TVs are basically everywhere these days.


They really are.  Do you watch the Simpsons?


Yeah are used to love that show. I also like that 70s show.


Yeah it sounded like a real flop. I am glad I never watched it.


Fox News is one of my favorite channels although media can be manipulated did you hear about Mary Rich and her husband?


Do you like Fox News? it seems like the owe the family not only an appology but economic remuneration,


From the Rich family point of view, Fox News did trample them. Mary Rich said 'they took more from us with the lies.'  She just wants her son's life and soul restored so I think she needs both; she needs a public apology but money as well.


I guess the Riches deserve that, the sued because of the emotional distress, I cant imagine the pain of that family, the lost their son and then a news channel lies about him


Not only that but Fox News doesn't mind suing others either. Fox News threatened to sue the Simpsons in order to stop them from parodying it famous anti-democratic party agenda.


Seems like fox has faced a lot of controversies over the years, isnt the Simpsons one of the most popular shows on fox? they have a weird relationship


Yes, I think so.  Did you know that 55% of airtime on Fox New is dedicated to pure opinion. MSNBC is about 85% opinion.


I did not know that, so do you use the internet much?


Yes, I use the internet everyday. It is my lifeline to the outside world rather than watching TV.  The Internet is the global system of interconnected computer networks that use Internet protocols (TCP/IP) to link different devices world wide. It is a network of networks.


Yeah and it also carries a lot of info, music, games, archives, basically everything, books, stores, knowledge


Yes, the Internet carries a vast range of information resources and services such as inter-linked hypertexted documents and World Wide Web (WWW) applications, e-mail, and telephony; not to mention file sharing.


Yes, Mary and Joel Rich have a lawsuit against Fox News. They also put out an interview with ABC News  saying that her Fox News ran a story about her son that was not true.


Its a good thing there is a copy of the internet stored, it maskes me feel relaxed and backed up.


I undertand their rage, I would want justice for my son as well and those responsible should pay


Yes, I agree. I heard that their son, Seth Rich was a Democratic National Committee staffer who was slain on a D.C. street in July 2016. This is an unsolved murder in which D.C. police believed was a botched robbery attempt.


Sad how he was slain on the street, the murder is still unsolved so that must reate a lot of negative feelings and then you hear a story in the news that isnt true, Fox News tied him to Wikileaks


Yeah, Mary Rich said that Fox News never called them to check any facts and that they just took a rumor and ran with it.


That sounds terrible, their son was shot on July 10, and theres not much known about the murder, I guess Fox News diverted the attention from the real killer


Yes, you can read the timeline laid out in the lawsuit which described Zimmerman who was working with a Texas-based investor and Trump supporter named Ed Butowsky, maneuvered the story into place over several months. It sounds very mysterious to say the least.


It does sound misterious and shaddy, seems like there were political interests at hand, that makes me so angry


Fox News is really known at the Fox News Channel and is commonly abbreviated to FNC and is broadcasted to 86 countries or overseas territores world wide so what they did with the Seth Rich story was on view for essentially the whole world to see.


hi how are you? do you like to go to concerts?


I have been to bad concerts. usually i never see the band again.


Me too, have you heard about the lawsuit for a bad concert?


that sounds very american! LOL who got sued?


In 2002, a creed concert was so bad that four concert goers filed a lawsuit against the band.


That is sad. Creed is a christian rock band, right? i wonder if they rehearsed before performing.


I am sure they had to practice. I am not familiar with the band.


I dont know them either. i wonder what happened as a result of the law suit.


I do like Floyd. they are still popular. do you like them?


I do. They recorded a live concert with no audience!


That is quite artistic of them! Anyway, great chat!


I am going to go try to watch. Have a nice day!


I used to go when I was younger. now i dont have the time or money.


i have never been. i hear it is a nice place though.


Me either. I heard there is an ancient roman amphitheater that is still in use as a concert venue.


That is great! the acoustics must be good. i wonder how comfortable the seats are though.


I would like to see it! I wonder if it also is a tourist attraction.


I wonder what famous bands have played there. i dont think croatia is a typical destination for them.


I am not sure. Have you ever been to a bad concert?


I'm laughing at the idea of trying to take that recording off the Internet. Just guarantees that a hundred times as many people will listen to it who wouldn't have ever known about it otherwise. You familiar with the Streisand Effect?


I almost thought 29, but 1 is in Canada making it 30.  That's a good amount of teams.


They're athletes are the world's best paid by average annual salary per player.


I believe it!  Shoot Allen Iverson signed a lifetime endorsement contract with Nike.  I cant recall how much though, do you know?


I think it was with reebok, not nike. He signed it in 2001.


That's right, it was Reebok and they paid him $800,000 a year until he reaches 55!


Although Nike sure have a lot of money, they would consistently pay the fine for Jordan wearing his air jordan's since they were banned.


They must have made a ton of money!  I even had a pair of Air Jordan 1's when I was a kid!  One thing cool about Tim Duncan though is he went to college before the NBA.


He had to sacrifice some money by staying in college for 4 years.


Wow that is pretty neat, it was definitely worth it in the long run.  One other player I do know is Reggie Miller.


It's sad to see that he couldn't escape his older sister's shadow.


I don't but I have friends who are very into it, they talk about players such as Stephen Curry and Lebron James all the time.


Haha yes!  He tried, but when he bragged about him scoring 40 points, his sister scored 105 points!


She broken 8 national records too! Anyways, good talking with you.


Oh yes, Stephen Curry isn't very old.  He was born in 1988.


Such a young player! He makes the 5th highest salary on his team as well!


Wow, that makes sense since many players and analysts have called him the greatest shooter in NBA history.


Did you know in 2014-15 season, he won the MVP?


Yes I actually did,because he led the Warriors to their first championship since 1975!


They are lucky to have Curry, the next season after that he became the first MVP with an unanimous vote.


Yes he is very good, that same year the Warriors broke the record for most wins in NBA season en route to the finals.


Speaking of the NBA, did you know that it is composed of 30 teams?


Did you hear about the 300 crocodiles killed in Indonesia?


Or rather building a village close to where the animals already live.


What about the Disney World alligator? Did you hear about that one?


I vaguely remember something about that, what was the deal with it again?


There was a sign that said stay away from the water but the parents let him get too close to the pond. He was scooping up water into a pail when he was snatched. Poor kid.


I remember that now.  I feel bad, it is just awareness. Some people have none


Yeah, I heard that he was also playing in the water. And in this case they euthanized the alligator and humanely removed others.


Removal I can deal with, only if we were not intruding on their initial home.


Yeah well I guess Disney World built where there were already alligators naturally. Seems pretty ineivitable in many areas of Florida that we would intrude. Sigh. I feel bad for the boy but the crocodile was probably just acting in its nature because it's a carnivore.


Thinking like this little snack wandered into my home, how nice.


Right.:/ And as humans we make handbags of alligators all the time. That being said,I'd be very protective of my children if an animal came to attack them.


Yeah I think that is sad. Us humans are invading these animals' space and we think we own the place.


True.  Its been great chatting!  Have a nice day!


I agree.  We dont even respect other humans, so animals definitely dont get any resepct.  We really need to treat every living thing with respect.


It's especially bad because it was a licensed sanctuary that Sugito wandered into to collect food. This was undoubtedly done without permission.


It is like when the kid fell into Harambe's cage.


Right, I was mad about that one too. Police tried to stop the killings but there were 600 people so it was impossible.


That is horrible.  There are 20 quintillion (yeah that is a number) animals on earth and humans are one.  Id say we are slightly outnumbered.


Killing a protected species is a crime in Indonesia so it was just those people who were out of control. What's gross is the villagers took selfies with the crocodiles afterward.


I would get killing the one, but trying to exterminate a species because of one bad one is stupid.


Yeah, and I still don't think it's bad because the villager wandered into its habitat. But some people did question the logic of having crocodile ponds so close to a village.


Good afternoon! How are you today? I am thinking with the nice weather I might venture out to the library.


Yes, I heard they will even but 1,500 copies if the book is a children's book. Sounds very generous to me.


I agree!  Do you know many facts about presidential history?


Yes, I love Presidential info. What about you?


I do too!  The top 3 wealthiest presidents in American history were JFK, Washington, and Jefferson.  I believe Trump is now in the top 3.


Yes, Trump might be he is wealthy. I am just glad that the Vice President is not automatically the runner up of the election.


Right?  They don't seem to get nothing done now and that would just be chaos.  lol


It would be hard to get along. Lucky for us that changed in 1805.


Yes!  I like the name of the first president of Zimbabwe.  They called him President Banana! lol


Oh that is different, that's for sure! It was nice chatting with you today!


Me too. It is a great source of resources. I like that I can get anything from books to maps and CD's.


I agree!  Did you see what the Sacramento public library started doing?


No, I have not seen any news on anything that they have done. Can you fill me in?


They started a "library of things" which allows patrons to check out things that patrons might find useful, but don't need to own long term.  Sewing machines, etc. for example.  That's a great idea I think.


I agree, that is a great idea. Another great library idea was one that a falsely imprisoned man had. He spent most of his 10 years in jail in the library and became a lawyer.


Nice!  At least he used his time wisely,. lol


Yes, he did so to help others that were also wrongly convicted.


That's a good story.  If you publish a book in Norway, the government will buy 1000 copies and distribute them to libraries throughout the country.  I like that idea.  They should do that in the states.


Did you ever play the NES? It only had 54 colors! Video games have come so far!


I'm not sure that I understand Jim Carrey's thinking about not doing dramas. Dramas can have a positive message too.


True. But I think Carrey means that at some point the conflict is negative? It's a weird point.


Conflict is ubiquitous. Everyone experiences it. I think people want good stories, and conflict drives stories forward.


You can't have dram or actually comedy without it. Jim Carrey has a new comedy show, but it's not like there's no conflict in it.


Not really, but I'm familiar with many of the athletes. This fact was surprising though The longest match in tennis history went on for 11 hours and was spread over 3 days.


I wonder who was playing. They must have lost about 15 pounds.


I wonder if they wore polo shirts for the match.


Ha. Only if it was a long time ago, I would guess.


I had Atari when I was really young. And yeah, games look like films now


I thought it was a bit extreme to use a helicopter to dry the grass at the US Open in 1969.


Yeah, but they didn't tell us how wet it was. I live near where they hold the US Open and it can be swampy around there.


I thought they would have portable dryers or something. I guess helicopters are fastest.


It sounds like it was just too wet for the normal drying methods.


That's likely. Well, I had fun chatting.


The NES was around in 2003. I didn't know it had such a long lifespan.


I didn't either, but I do recall hearing about it into the 21st century


Do you watch TV? I was surprised that Hugh Laurie gets paid so much!


I'm not. Hit shows are shown around the world and make the producers and networks a huge amount of money. They better pay the talent.


Only if I was successful, and that's rare. What about you?


Maybe if it gave me the chance to meet people. That's why Michael Caine joined drama in high school.


Well, in high school I think a lot of guys do that.


Hi do you know above details of comedy film


OK,Do you think that telephones are useful for us?


of course, they make the world a better place because we don't have to travel a long distance to pass a message to someone


I learnt that the computing power that was used to send man to the moon is just like that of a calculator it means even the iphone today is more powerful and also the iphone has more power than US nuclear icbm deterrent


u are interesting person thanks for information.


it would suprise you to know that the comedy icon Ryan stiles dropped out of high school to pursue a career in comedy.


I like a lot of humor. But you do not know about this.


You do not know the world things to your extent.


ok, no taking things personal and getting all insulting. now lets continue from where we left off, I was so surprised that even Demetri Martin left Harvard law school for comedy what do you think about that?


That is if you consider spongBob SquarePants  a comedy


oh ok SpongBob squarePants is actually an animated movie a cartoon written by stephen hillenburge to make people know more about the ocean and it turns out everyone likes it because it has been show in more than 170 countries


as 2009 it was already 10 years and it's still popular even today. If you have kids you can let them watch and you will be suprised at how they will fall in love with the character


I bet since they make someone laugh there is no one in the world that wouldn't


Yeah, most dyes just cause cancer but this one could be a breakthrough in quantum physics? Did Sheldon Cooper create this dye?


haah thats a good question, did you ever watch pokemon as a kid? I did but there are like 800 episodes now I'd never catch up!


I did not watch it as a kid but my son does and I have probably see all of them by proxy.


haha, did your son ever watch Thomas the Train? I guess alec baldwin, ringo, and george carlin all did the narrators voice in that show


No, he never watched that but he had some book of his. It's crazy that show got that level of talent. do they pay well?


haha thats a good question, I jsut wish it were for adults, george carlin is known for his adult humor so it'd be funny to hear him making jokes on that show!


I never really got into carlin and I feel like I really missed out. I need to go back and search for him on Netflix.


ya he is awesome, did you ever watch thagt 70's show? Apparenlty they tried to remake it for the uk market


haha well not very good they cancelled it after 10 episodes haha


hey I'm good, did you now that kim jong-un has a degree in physics? like that is silly


I mean it does make sense. If you are his professor, are you going to fail him? I would just pass him and make it the next guys problem.


haha yup exactly, it's crazy how much time PIxar spent studying physics though, 3 years to model hair for the movie Brave


They did do a great job with it though. Have you seen that movie?


no I haven't, I did see the Incredibles 2 though and that was Ok, have you seen Brave?


I have. There is a scene where she flicks her hair back and it is so detailed that I understnad the time they took on it. It's crazy good!


oh ok i'll have to check it out, somehow scientists say that the earth could have come from nothing without violating teh laws of physics, how is that possible? haha


I am not sure but that sounds really sketchy...


ya someone was being weird when they made taht up I think haha, also there is some chinese dye that could lead to a breakthrough in quantum physics, I'd like to know how that is possible too


Did you know the president of indonesia released 3 albums while in office?


Ok, what would be a good nickname for him then? He has not released pop albums. He is not the richest president.


That is a great nickname! Until 1805 in the us, the runner up in a presidential election automatically became the vice president. What nickname would we give hillary then?


Just clinton. it would make for good cable tv.


yes, it would be a hoot. like some sort of psycho reality tv show. i would pay to watch.


Yeah, that would be pretty cool. What about the radio, do you ever listen?


i used to listen to the radio. not so much now. i use the computer mostly. You?


Yeah, me too. I use Youtube a lot. Well, nice chatting with you.


Yes, it has been a great chat! Thank you very much. Have a good evening!


yes, i did. i have not heard the albums. i expect them to be pretty good. after all, he is president.


He has a shadow govt to run most things for him. he needs to focus on that pop career. real world leaders know the value of celebrity.


Interesting, he has a shadow government?


Well, i figure to manage the time to get those pop albums out, he must do something like that. I certainly couldnt run a country myself and do the pop albums too.


Interesting, the albums probably aren't very good.


I guess not. the man didnt get his position of power on his musical talent. What do you thnk of the president of zimbabwe?


That is an awesome moniker! the man must be a hero to his people. we should give trump a fruity nickname.


Hey my friend do you have a landline or a cell phone?


I want to see a picture, also weird I have 16gb of ram and I guess the space shuttle only has 1mb haha


Hilarious. I can believe it though. The technology is old.


ya it sounds bad haha, have you played the game minecraft? with the blocks?


No, but I hear it is incredibly popular. Do you play? I think you can build a computer out of it.


ya I have played it, you drop blocks and you can definitely make a computer out of the blocks!


Interesting. Well just don't smoke near it if you are using an Apple! It voids the warranty.


yup that is weird! I guess they consider it a "biohazard" for their employees


Hilarious! Well, just don't let Van Halen near one with his guitar!


ha nope not at all, would you ever upload your brain to a usb drive if you could?


I would if I could upload it to a computer and it could make me immortal.


I use a cellphone, but I have both. What about you?


yup I would too, I guess people that want to do that are called transhumanists


ya I only have a cell phone, phones are so nice how they can transfer human voice across vast distances


Apparently NY area code is 212 because it is the fastest to dial.


Ya, that dates back to the rotary phone, I wish I still had a rotary phone those are cool!


Yeah, I had one a long time ago. Crazy that the iphone has more computing power than the Nuke ICBM deterrent.


That is crazy and scary, have you heard of the unicef charity?


No, I haven't. What do they do? Do you know?


yup their thing is for every day you don't use your cellphone they will donate a day of clean water


Interesting. On 1936 the russians made a computer that ran on water?


It looks like 2263 in total! You were close! At least they weren't as bas a Creed doing concerts lol.


Is Creed a christian rock band? it sounds religious.


They were some terrible rock group in the early 2000s. They were sued once for putting on a terrible show!


Wow, i guess they should have rehearsed a bit before touring. that is terrible. i wonder if the fans won their suit.


I hope they did because they were really bad haha. Do you play any instruments?


I used to play the guitar. i dont play much now. You?


I've been getting into the piano. I didn't realize it's only been around since 1700.


Yeah, it is a complex instrument. it has a lot of moving parts.


I want to see the piano used by both Freddie Mercury and Paul McCartney sometime! That would be awesome.


I bet there is some magic in those keys. You could write a hit song! Anyway, great chat!


Im doing great now that the server is back up. How are you?


I hope so lol. Great chat as well, have an awesome night!


You and me both haha. I'm doing well myself! Have you been to many concerts?


i used to go to concerts when i was younger. dont have the time or money now. LOL You?


Haha same here! What's your favorite one that you remember?


I saw Rush a couple of times. that was great. they were so good live.


I bet! Can you believe Linkin Park did 324 concerts in 2001 alone?


I cant imagine having that much energy. they must have slept on the bus. how could they do that?


Pure adrenaline probably haha. They could have been like the Ramones touring for 20 straight years. I wonder how many concerts they put on?


Probably over 100 a year, so about 2000?


Hello, what do you think about the current US government?


Speaking of mount everest, you can get 3g of cell service at the top of it!


I bet it's for the people that want to post that they climbed it on Facebook haha.


Haha, yep. Only 7% of people read the full terms when buying something. I guess I fall into the 93% that doesn't


I honestly would have guessed that 0 percent of people read it haha.


Well, I would not be surprised at that either. Who has the time to read through 10 pages of conditions?


I agree! Some scientist should do research on how annoying it is haha.


Speaking of scientists, the emperor of Japan is a scientist who still publishes papers!


That is interesting! I feel like there should be a lot more scientists in charge of society! There was one scientist who walked the moon!


It was! That would be so cool! Did you know the world wide web was created 30 years ago today? or maybe yesterday?


I think the thought of it is nice but we need to get our stuff together and start working together lol, hbu?


Who knows, anyways, thank you for your time! It was nice chatting with you!


It was nice chatting with you as well. Have a good one!


Same, the democrats and the republicans are having so many disagreements, which  is why the government shut down. What do you think about the wall?


I'm against it, they just need to make their process better, what are your thoughts?


Same here, I do not think that Trump has to build a 5 billion dollar wall just to keep the mexicans out. I do not think that the mexicans are going to steal 5 billion dollars worth of jobs!


Well said my friend! Can you believe in 2006, the us passed legislation protecting government employees from being prosecuted for violating the geneva convention?


Really? Wow. The Norwegian government also donated 1 billion dollars to help preserve the amazon rainforest!


I think other countries need to jump on board that train! That makes me happy about one government at least haha.


Haha, agreed. 86% of the land in Nevada is owned by the government. I wonder if people living there are mad.


I'm sure, unless it is all desert, but I'm sure they took that land from somebody! I wonder if they have internet out there like they do on top of Mt Everest?


Did you hear about the Civilian DC police department employee being charged?


Dealing with a bunch of genesis, lol! Hey you know that the storms on Jupiter are so strong they can be picked up by AM Radio.


Thats awesome. There is also a radio station that translates solar activity into sound and you can listen to the suns live music.


Wow i wonder what the sun sounds like? You know Canada has a law that 40% of music played on radio has to be in house.


Not sure tell me more. Have you ever heard of the hamburger button?


Apparently a Hanson song became a most requested track in chicago. Only because they didnt reveal who sang the song though.


Oh ok, You know in WW2 they made radio's out of a pencil and a razor blade.


Yeah that's pretty cool if you ask me. I would think it would be pretty nice to be able to listen to the radio in a time like that. Just to take you mind off of it all.


Yeah i'm sure they were named Foxhole radios, pretty fitting considering. Did you know that Elmo appeared before congress?


Oh yeah. Thats cool. Stephen colbert went to congress in character defend immigrants


I did. To me it sounds like something that would have happened back in the 20s in chicago or something. Not something you would hear about these days.


I'm trying to figure out how there was a female who was the first mind you to be elected to congress but still didn't have the right to vote.


That is a mystery. You would think that would be reversed. Did you know that congress can declare someone an honorary citizen. It has happened 7 times.


No i did not know that but it's interesting considering the Immigration issues we are having. Apparently there is Fantasy Congress like Football.


Thats awesome. Well Im gonna have to be getting off here Nice chat.


Nice chatting with you my friend. Congress has had a baseball team since 1909. Dems vs. Reps


Yeah your right, what a world. Apparently she was indicted on 13 counts of Obstruction and 1 count conspiracy.


Well she accessed password protected files and gave reports to the man charged with murder. How could she think she would get away with that?


Right, no wonder her attorney decline to comment.


His girlfriend was also indicted. I guess all three of them were texting back and forth trying to get him off.


People watch way to much tv and think they are Mission Impossible material or something.


I guess that is true. Im not sure what you are trying to say.


Just that people think they can get away with anything, This was such a stupid thing to try in my opinion.


It really was. Im sure they keep track of who gets into the password protected files at the police station.


Yeah mine to. I have always like playing basketball. Never been great at it , but I enjoy playing.


Yeah that used to be my go to sport when I was a kid.  I used to tape all of the dunk contests.  I used to love Larry Johnson and Shawn Kemp.


A hornets fan huh. I liked the heat when I was a kid. I liked that crossover Tim Hardaway did. Until Allen Iverson came to the league then he was my favorite.


Heck yeah Tim Hardaway was awesome, I remember watching him on the Warriors.  Iverson was awesome too, he got the best of my team back in 2001, but, I think we will be back there this year.


I haven't really followed it much this year. Are they doing pretty well.


Yeah the Bucks, they are first place in the whole league, I really hope we can make the finals, I have never seen it in my lifetime.


Yeah Giannis is pretty good. i think he is better than Lebron, at least at this stage in their careers.


Yeah Giannis has been a diamond in the rough and turned this franchise around since he has been here.  I like Lebron, he has done so much, but I think it's Giannis's time.


I think Lebron is a great player, I just hate it how he has done cleveland. I think he should have stayed there his whole career and brought them a bunch of championships. It would have been a great story.


Yeah if he would've done like Dirk and the Mavs, imagine how many titles, and yeah we would've gone down as Clevelands biggest hero.


Hello there, I am well thank you.  Do you watch much basketball?


It is kind of sad what he has done. He basically said forget my hometown, just to go get a couple more championships that he probably could have got anyway.


Yeah I don't like when players leave a team just to get a ring.  If you want to do it right, play for one team, and do enough to make it happen while you're there. It was nice talking with you today, I hope you have a good day.


Yeah I do sometimes. Mostly in the playoffs. I havent really watched much this year though.


I mostly just follow my local team, which has been really good this season so far, they are best in the league.


Oh yeah, college or pros. Were you aware that the only head coach in kansas University history with a losing record is james naismith. The inventor of basketball.


Wow, that is a very impressive program.  I wonder what Mr. Naismith would think of the game today?


I would say he would be surprised at the athletic ability of the players these days. I doubt this is what he really imagined. Not to say he would be disappointed.


Yeah I think he would be most impressed by the amount and style of dunking that happens today.


I know it impresses me a lot. Another fun fact is that in 39 out of the 50 states. The highest played employee is a college football or basketball coach. Thats just crazy.


That is crazy, not to say that those jobs aren't important but that just blows my mind.


Would you be much of a football fan, or interested in the Eagles?


That sounds like a lot of work.  I think part of the reason I haven't got into football is the length of the game, I just don't have three hours.  I doesn't help that I was born in Britain.


Oh so do you have a favorite sport that you spend time watching on your days off from work or just for your relaxed and run time?


I have a young family, all my free time seems to have vanished.  Back in the day is would have been soccer.  I barely see any TV anymore, the kids hog the remote now.


Hahaha, I understand, did you know the nfl uses tracking chips in their shoulder pads to record players movements on the field?


Do you use that information when your in the casino to give you an edge?  How many games a week do you think you watch?


I only get weekends at the casino, I always get my weekends off from work, Now it just my wife and I, no, I don't used it.


You don't have a dog by chance?  I have full house here, kids, dogs rabbits, and my wife has a horse.  Maybe I should buy myself a ticket to Las Vegas for some peace.


Yes at least for a vacation, the chips are also located in the football to track  velocity, rotation, ball speed and location.


It's amazing the amount of information they collect in sports now.  When I read reports about soccer they tell  you how far the player has ran, sprinted, pass percentages and such. They have heat maps to to show where they've been on the field too.


I watched soccer also, I don't completely understand the entire rules and game, I do understand how the players score points.


Yes, I am a football fan, like the Eagles and wished they have made it to the superbowl.


Well, good luck in the casino, and have a good day.


I can't say that I am. I'm aware of the big stuff that goes on but not the details.  I certainly wouldn't get worked up about who the Eagles play first in a season.


I am not a Eagles fan either, I am a Steelers, but since the Steelers haven't made it, I turned to the eagles.


I live near Cleveland, I know the Browns and Steelers are rivals.  I think the only team the Browns fans dislike more are the Ravens as they feel like they stole their team.


I have never care for the Ravens for some reason, so are you a Browns fan?


I live here, so I guess by default I am.  I'm not born and raised so it's not life or death for me.  Is there anything harder in football than being a Browns fan?


Well, I would  say no, especially if you are a fan win or lose, because for some reason they seems not to be able to make it to a superbowl these days.


Do you watch much football on television, Monday night football and all that?


No, I watched sunday's game also, my current home is Las Vegas and I pretty much live in the casino watching sports, I try to watch the majority of the games including college football.


Did you ever hear of Nokie Edwards of the Ventures?  He helped create hits in the 60's?


I guess he really is a genius and creative too.  Did you ever "the dark side of the moon?"  It's been a best seller for 40 years.


I can't remember if I have or not to be honest. Have you ever heard Legend by Bob Marley?  It's been on the charts for over 900 weeks!


I don't know.  Maybe.  If you want to hear something interesting then you can listen to two 100 year old twin rappers from Japan.


i bet that is interesting!  Say, did you know that Ohio is the only state with an official rock song?


I didn't know that. Who created their rock song?


I don't know but I do know the name is "Hang on Sloopy."


Matt Bellamy holds the guinness record for most guitars smashed.  I would have rather seen them go to charity though.


I would have too.  Rockers can be strange.  Led Zeppelin didn't put a title on their 4th album.  They just wanted to confuse the press.


That would make it hard to find wouldn't it?   Do you know the band Linkin park?  They had the best selling album in the 21st century.


I do know them and like them.  That is impressive! I had no idea it was that popular!


I have not ever heard of him. What type of music did he/they play?


Whitesnake gave some opportunities to people with over 50 members in their band throughout history.  Better odds for someone to be in their band.


Rock music is good.  Even though I've heard that termites will eat wood two times faster when listening to it!


Who comes up with that fact?  Do you enjoy Van Halen?  He recorded the guitar solo for "beat it!"


I do like Van Halen and I didn't know that.  Did you know that Aerosmith made more money from the guitar hero game than from any album they did?


I know that game is very popular.  Pink Floyd guitarist made a houseboat on the river thames into a recording studio.  I'd like to be on that boat


That would be cool.  Guitars are wonderful inventions. The les paul gibson made in 1949 has never gone out of production!


Queen's guitarist must have been brilliant with a phd in astrophysics.


Seriously! that's impressive!  Brian May of Queen built his guitar himself from parts from an old fireplace.


Its a weird system, maybe that can be changed one day, just like back in 1805 the runner up of an election would become vice president


Could you imagine that happening now?  Trump and Hillary?  lol


That would be caos, nothing would get done.


It would be chaos. Lincoln was the first president to be photographed for his inauguration and John Wilkes Booth was in that photo.  I never knew that.  Creepy.


That is creepy considering he got shot by him later, did you kno wthe White House has two twin buildings!!


I know!  ..and I didn't know that about the buildings.  I wonder why?  I know the first phone of the White House was simply 1.


It was? I had no idea about that, well the White House sure has some curious and cool facts


It does!  Who knew?  lol  There is a replica of the White House in Atlanta which was built as a private home!


Really I heard about the ones in Ireland and France never knew there was in Atlanta as well,


I didn't know either!  Did you know you can mail a birth announcement to the White House and they'll send you a congratulations card back?  Wish I would have known that when my kids were born.  Neat.


I do somewhat.  I know that there is 100 US senators.  2 from each state.


Oh thats so cool, I will do that next time Im expecting a kid.


Yeah, thats the  way it has been for a long time at least, the senate chamber is located in the capitol


Senator Strom Thurmond holds the record for the longest filibuster by a lone senator.  He stayed on the floor for an incredible 24 hours and 18 minutes non stop!


He does? that is an odd record lol, you know that the US senate used the same Gavel for almost 2 centuries until Nixon cracked it.


Wow.  That's a long run!  It must be in a museum somewhere.  The reason Harry Truman was selected to be vice president was because when he ran the senate "Truman committe", it found so much corruption and waste that he saved the govt 10 to 15 billion dollars!


I guess thats a great reason, b¿he undercovered a big secret, most would remain quiet


I agree.  Did you know that the only US president to have a PHD is Woodrow Wilson?  That kind of surprises me.


That is suprising, I would guess most former presidents had one,


Me too.  5 presidents have been elected while still losing the popular vote.  Never quite understood why we don't use the popular vote.


Are you into comics? They were first popularized in the 1930s


Nice, hope the trunks aren't made of wood in South Africa, they can mount flame throwers on their car


scary.  There was a race car driver who became professional by beating 90,000 people in a video game gran turismo


It's funny how far we've come since the car was invented in 1886


True.  Who would have imagined dvd players in cars?  I guess reading has advanced creativity


Dvd's windshield wipers, flame-throwers. we've come a long way


Did you hear about 18th century "moral panic" due to the spread of reading novels


No, that's insane. There seems to always be a panic over novels and comics


The world record for speed reading is held by Anne Jones reading 4700 words per minute.  I guess the spread of a lot of information can be scary if it goes that fast!


Wow, Anne Jones can read the Bible pretty quick


Not so much, but I like Marvel Heros movies based upon dc comics.  Dc stands fro detective comics


Nice, I guess Marvel has multiple universes and the movies take place on earth-199999


They are cool.  The comic book legend ended every conversation he had with the word exclesior


Stan Lee was a pretty smart guy, he published a comic to trademark super-hero and super-villian


Big loss this year with him passing.  Did you know that Michigan State Univ library has the biggest publicly available comic book collection in the world


No, I might have to go check out thier library for some old comics then


Did you know that McDonald's added their drive-thru in 1976 to accommodate soldiers not allowed to get out of their cars while wearing fatigues


Nice, I never knew that the Cadillac car was named after Antoine de la Mothe Cadillac


Yes, and the trunk of the car is called that because old cars used to have wooden trunks on back


I ddn't know that.  Justin Bieber's Baby is the most disliked video on youtube.  Do you know what Netflix and Youtube have in common?


What do they have in common? the fact that they both have a streaming service?


Together they both make up half of the peak internet traffic in North America.


I see, well they are both really popular services, so what are your thoughts on celebrities? they sure earn a lot of money.


They sure do!  Judge Judy makes $123,000 per episode making her the highest paid celebrity only after LeBron James.


That is a lot of money!! she must be crazy rich, did you know Pixar has a secret room that is visited by celebrities


I didn't know that.  Must be something special in there.  Robin Williams was the first actor to start the trend of celebrities performing voices in animated films when he did Aladdin.


Robin Williams was a great actor, the world of entertainment lost a lot that day.


I agree.  I loved all the different roles he could play.  Carol Burnett was the first celebrity to appear on Sesame Street.  With that I'm going to be on my way as the song goes. lol  It was fun chatting!


I loved Carol Burnett she was my favorite celebrity as a kid, anyways its been fun chatting I agree I think I'm calling it a night.


I do, its the second largest search engine on the net, I really like it, do you?


Have a good one!  I'm calling it a night too.


I love it!  I can't believe it's been around 14 years already since being founded in 2005.


Its been a long time Google made a great purchase decision there, they bought the company for $1.65 billion


For sure!  The three former Paypal employees who started the company (Chard Hurley, Steve Chen, and Jawed Karim) really cashed in!


I bet they did a $1.65 billion payday sounds really nice even if its divided by 3 I bet they kept some of the stock of the company.


Sure would be nice and I bet that did.  Do you remember Psy's Gangnam Style video?


That was a really fun video, I remember, why do you ask?


Psy's video got so many views on youtube that they had to upgrade the view count integer to 64 bits!


That's just crazy, I knew the video was popular but never heard about that, so did you know the police also have a service called Blutube


Hello how are you doing?  Do you know much about Tesla? The tesla model s is road tested on an indoor track because their cars don't produce any emissions.


wow!  Elon musk took a $78 million paycut to his tesla motors salary in 2014, returning all but $1


that is impressive, and this says he is planning a mars colonization project using a hevy lift rocket, thats what I want is us to get to mars in my life


Nice! Elon musk's wife appeared in christopher nolan's inception


wow didn't know that, pretty wild it is legal to put a flame thrower on your car in south africa, I would probably do that haha


haha well its winter here so it would help to warm me up haha


Oh does it snow where you are?  I could see a flame thrower being handy with clearing out the snow in the driveway lol


ah yes it does snow, there isn't snow right now but i agree it would be great for the driveway! this says mcdonalds first drive through was in 1975, makes me hungry to hop in my car and get some, and flame broil some burgers with my flame car haha


Haha.  that invention has definitely made all of america lazy lol but convienient for mothers and military I guess lol


haha this says the brand cadilac was named after a french explorer who founded detroit, I live near detroit and ya I didn't know that


im good how are you? that's cool, I didn't know that but it makes sense considering ya there is no exhause


Nice.  well its been good talking to you have a good one.


Yeah it does pretty interesting. The same guy, elon musk, founded paypal, spacex and tesla motors


ya, and I never knew that elon musk was in thank you for smoking, I'll have to rewatch it


its kind of funny its worth a watch I think, it's cool Elon wants to built a personal vertical take up passenger jet, thats something I can get behind haha


What is that?  Did you know The toyota group owns 10% of tesla, and tesla actually helped to develop their 2nd gen rav4ev.


no didn't know that, but it would be like a plane that you own but it takes off verticallly, I want one think of what you could do with it


ya hes really interesting, his spacex shot a cheese wheel into space as a nod to monty python, that is prettttty amazing but i would rather that I had that cheese wheel to eat right now


Have you ever heard of Aaron Posner?  He's a playwright that's doing some research on things to do in D.C.


I guess the President Day events in that movie are set in the 60s.  I suppose that means JFK and L. Johnson.


Yes they definitely gave it an old time super hero feel. It made it feel a lot more unique to me.


Sounds cool.  Did you know Bill Nye got his start my winning a Steve Martin lookalike contest?  I don't see the resemblance.


I don't see it either but maybe with a good costume and some makeup he could pull it off.


You don't seem like a video game nerd but did you know the original NES could only display 54 colors?


I love video games and had an Original NES so I definitely believe it!


I think we did too.  It was tough surviving my son and his friends. It lasted in Japan until 2003.


I wish I still had mine, it fell by the wayside as more and more systems came out. It was a lot less complicated than games today.


Yeah, I agree.  Can you believe the Green Lantern movie originally wanted to star Jack Black?  It was going to be a comedy.  It would have flopped worse that it did.


It couldn't have been any worse than the version we got. I have to admit I'm not the biggest DC fan to begin with.


I have never heard of him before, sadly I do not know many modern playwrights.


I'm more of a Monty Python guy.  Thanks for the chat!


I don't either.  He's boing a new version of Winter's Tale.  Until it's over, he's looking for things to do with his 6-year-old daughter.


?  Have you ever been to D.C.?  What would you do there for fun?


Sorry for that typo, I meant to say I'd imagine most lists would include the Smithsonian Museums since they are free. I have been and the various museums are my favorite things to do.


Yes, I love all the things at the Mall.  I guess Aaron likes the Nat'l Building Museum and the Nat'l Portrait Museum.


My favorites are the Zoo, Air and Space, and it's not a free Smithsonian Museum but the Spy Museum is very interesting.


I've seen 2 out of the 4.  Aaron's daughter has a thing for The Incredibles 2 movie.  Sad that she's sensitive to gluten.


I loved the Incredibles 2, I saw it on opening weekend.


my favorite article has to be about the superhero


all the information it had about comic books and characters


it says There are over 300 registered superheroes in the united states. wonder how people get on that list


it also said there are 30 superhero movies set to be released between 2016 and 2020 i cant wait to see the next superhero coming out this year it should be interesting


definitely will. would be looking forward to it


article 3 was interesting to read what do you think?


yes, i believe so too. Reading is so important in our daily lives


it said that louis braille the inventor of the reading and writing system for the blind came up with this idea when he was only 15


Young george r. r. martin began writing by selling monster stories for pennies to other neighborhood children that is so enlightening


yep it truly is . it was nice chatting with you


it was nice chatting with you to have a nice day


i am fine as well. What is your thought on the articles?


i think the articles are way to abstract and you?


yes the first article changed around way to much it didn't have a solid point of view


i agree. well reading about the dogs was quite interesting. I certainly didnt know that There are 12 different blood types that a dog may have, and dogs can donate blood at dog blood drives


yes dogs also can learn thousands of words and human actions the article about the dogs was fun to read


Istanbul has a vending machine that releases food and water for the city's stray dogs in exchange for recycled plastic bottles. Quite fascinating !


some dogs in moscow have learned to use the subway that's amazing


Did you play by hand, with a pick, or a coin? I dabbled here and there with piano and violin


I didn't know you could play by coin! I strummed it with my fingers  or with a pick. There's a very tiny guitar, the size of a red blood cell that was built by Cornell researchers, it needs to be played via laser. I wonder why they invented that.


It's amazing the mechanics of things that goes to make sounds, Brian May of Queen built his own guitar out of parts from an old fireplace and his mother's knitting needle, I'd say ouch


I wonder how it sounded. On a sperate note, eddie van halen set his speakers on fire when he soloed beat it


Wow, that can happen? Was it an accident or was it for entertainment purposes?


I think because of the music, he taxed the speakers till it burst into flames. At least he didn't intentionally destroy instruments like matthew bellamy who holds the guinness world record for most guitars smashed on tour


Yeah, I think that could get very expensive but small price to pay for the entertainment revenue it brings in. Like the Olsen twins purchased an entertainment company back in early 2000s and have turned it into a billion dollar company! No wonder I don't hear about them anymore.


True these people are very dedicated. The guitarist of pink floyd even made a floating recording studio


Maybe that's what it takes to get the perfect vibrato sound when he records. Were any notable records produced on that floating studio?


I enjoy catching up on news and listening to music, though I've only recently dabbled into jazz music. Yourself?


Not sure, but it is called the astoria. Well thanks for chatting, I hope you also had a good time.


I enjoy jazz as well, especially how it kept its core but absorbed local musical culture to derive distinctive styles


Yeah, but Hitler once suppressed jazz which he condemned as "degenerate" because of its association with Jewish and black composers and musicians, I'm happy we've come a long way since then!


Did you know henry ford also tried to suppress jazz by financing country music instead for the very same reason that it was urban decadence.


Wow! I didn't know that, really interesting how there's geographical differences in jazz music, like New Orleans Jazz, Kansas City Jazz, Gypsy Jazz, I wonder if I'd be able to tell the difference. Would you be able to?


Jazz is still jazz. They are distinct, but similar at the core


I see, I wish I could sing like Jazz's great Ella Fitzgerald who even taught herself how to sing 2 notes at once at the age of 18!


Given your interest in jazz, what instrument do you play?


I used to play the guitar but quit when one of my strings broke and just gave it up, do you play any instruments?


Hi there!  Can you tell me anything about presidents?


I am.  I wear clothes as much as I can.  lol  Seriously though...I do like shopping for them.


Do you have a favorite shop? Apple used to have a clothing brand


I actually like this place called Charming Charlies lol I didn't know that Apple had a clothing brand.


Havent heard of Charming Charlies before I will try it out though, and yeah Apple had a clothing line back in 1986


They aren't pretty common at least where I live.  I have only 2 I can get to within a 2 hour drive from where I live.  They have a website though with a store locator menu.  Have you ever heard of Rip Curl?


I see that they are made in North Korea, but the labels say made in China.  Seems shady.


It does seem shady, theres a cool store in Alabama that seels cloths and unclaim baggage from airports, that store seems a bit shady as well


I agree!  Did you know that pilgrims actually wore cloths that were full of colors and not just black and white?  I've had a good time chatting with you!


No didnt know that either cool fact and its been great chatting with you as well friend


I sure can, there is a president thats called Canaan Banana, funny name


Hahaha!  What country is he the president of?


He is the first president of Zimbawe and yeah really funny


That's great!  I wonder who the top 3 wealthiest presidents in the US are?


They are JFK, Washington and then Jefferson I bet Trump is number 4 on that ranking


Nice!  Thanks!  The US presidents guest house is larger than the white house for some reason.


Do you mean Trump owns a guest house bigger than the white house or the goverment owns it?


I would assume that the government owns it.  I've seen it before on the news.  It's on the white house property I believe.


I see, thats something Google will solve, so are you a big fan of fashion?


I agree! It's impossible to separate two phonebooks that have their pages overlapped together.


You know, I've actually heard that before. I guess it would have to be too very thick phone books for that to be.


I saw that Unicef will donate a day of clean water to child in need for every minute you don't use your cell phone.


That's a great program! I'd like to find out more about it. Do you know how to sign up or anything like that?


I do not. Do you like the movie Jumanji?


i like the original with Robin Williams and Bonnie Hunt.  It was good!


I do too! The boy from Jumanji was the voice of chip in Beauty and the Beast.


I didn't know that.  That's cool.  Oh, hey, I do know that Bradley Pierce did the original voice of miles on sonic the hedgehog.


I didn't know that. Jumanji had an opening weekend in the US of $36 million.


That's pretty good for something that started out as a children's book in 1981!


Hello. I am doing good and yourself?  Do you have an iphone by chance?


I think so too. Tim Curry is the voice of slick in the Jumanji cartoon.


I like him.  The movie is taken from a book by Chris Van Allsburg and he also wrote the movie so I bet that's why it's so good.


I'm doing good too. I do have an iPhone. What about you?


i don't, i have an android but i've heard that iphones have more computing power than the entire us nuclear icbm deterrent.


I've heard that too which is kind of scary stuff.


It really is.  Phones are wonderful inventions though.  Just think about it. They convert sound into electrical signals.


I can't imagine not having a phone. New York's area code is 212 because this was the fastest number to dial on a rotary phone.


Is that right?  I wonder what the rest of the country thought about that when area codes were decided.


Not too sure. The cables carrying phone and data lines across the ocean are only 2.7 inches thick and just lay on the ocean floor.


That's incredible that all of that information travels in lines so small!


Yes it is.  I wonder who got to keep them.


Do you know why he left them on the field?


He did it to raise awareness to homeless people without shoes.


That is a good thing.  The shoes should be auctioned and proceeds should be used to buy shoes for the homeless people.


I agree. I love the exposure to the cause. I hope it has been effective.


I hope so too.  Are you familiar with Stephon Marbury?


He is a former professional basketball player.  He promoted a line of shoes (retail price of only $15) and was not paid to endorse them.


I do.  Do you have interesting facts about them?


Wow that is crazy. I am going to look more into him. Have a nice day.


I do! Something that I did not know was that ballet dancers can go through 4 pairs of pointe shoes in a week.


Wow.  That's a lot.  I would not be able to afford them.


Me either. I feel like that is such a waste. I wonder what they do after they wear through the shoe that fast.


I don't know.  I heard that 5000 year old shoes perform better than modern shoes.  I wonder who owns 5000 year old shoes.


It is probably because they did not care about fashion back then.


What I meant was that someone made a comparison to come up with his or her fact.  So, her or she must have had the 5000 year old shoes to compare with modern shoes.


I see. I would love to see who made them and why they performed better.


Do you know who leaves his cleats on the field after every game?  It's a trivia question.


Isn't crazy the the Patriots won the 6th time???


I'm sure he has more money than he knows what to do with. YouTube and Netflix alone account of half the internet traffic in North America.


The Youtube guys are rich too. Do you go to concerts much?


I like listening to them, but usually the distance and planning makes me hesitate for going to concerts. I do want to go to a Linkin park one though.


I think the lead singer is dead. They were an amazingly successful band.


Yes that why it is such as same. In any case, it would be much better than a creed concert. Lawsuits were filed against some


Creed should have practiced a few times in front of an empty amphitheater. Then maybe they would not get sued.


I wonder if it was more the band or the venue


The band probably. I bet they didn't rehearse enough. Unlike the Ramones, who probably never needed to rehearse.


I mean they practiced enough on their concerts along, playing 2000+ concerts over 20 years


They must have special drugs or something. How do they maintain the energy? Yoga?


Hi, how are you? I used to use Netflix. How about you?


I just hope they loved what they played since if you're having fun, work is well not work. In any case, thank you for the interesting chat.


While I no longer have a netflix account, I am familiar with netflix and am surprised how far it has come as a subscription based streaming OTT service provider


When bandwidth improved, there was bound to be some streaming service. I'm surprised that Netflix still spends money on postage.


I bet blockbuster regrets not acquiring netflix


If they were still around, they would regret it. $50 million? It's really nothing. Unless BB thought they could do the same thing on their own.


Well blockbuster isn't worth anything now so they probably couldn't. Netflix went from 50mil to 2bil!


It's insane. i wonder what company will eventually replace Netflix. Someone might get mad at Netflix the way that Reed Hastings got mad about late fees.


I wonder what the business model would be like? It is greater for Hastings how a $40 loss made him billions


I wonder what he is up to nowadays. His little company uses 1/3 of North America's bandwidth in the evening.


i am very much like to use facebook. what abt u?


hmm.. i like physics very intersting subject, I some of thing i don't understand..


Yeah. Like turbulence. It's a mystery but Van Gogh was able to depict it in his paintings.


hmm.. Wolfram alpha creator received phd in phy. at the age 20


That's very interesting. Stephen Wolfram is intelligent.


Yes. Speaking of physics, one thing is motion, and cars are a good example.


hmm yah.. Car what a Invention.. I like car but i don't not drive a car.


Me either. Now they have self-driving cars, though.


i want to learn drive a car. but i don't have a time to do that. But soonly i do that.


That's good. It's illegal in Ohio to warm your car up. That's strange.


Yes, but did you know a third of all divorce filings in 2011 contained 'facebook"? So many people use it.


No I don't. I just know some facts about it.


Facebook LIKE button is illegal in the german


That's odd. 30 % of american adult people use facebook as their primary source of news! That's a lot.


how many years of facebook use exp. u have?


I've been on there for a bit over 8 years. How about you?


That's good. Did you know there are more people on facebook than there were in the world 200 years ago?


Oh, physics is interesting, too. Valve handed Portal 2 to schools that wanted to use it to show physics and critical thing.


Hello! What do you enjoy doing for entertainment?


Yes, I have 2 year old twin boys and they Love to "shake shake shake, shake your booty" haha they crack up everytime. They love to dance and watch our birds. Do you have birds?


How precious! lol. Oh yeah, we have many many birds that come fly into our windows, in fact. Hummingbirds steal the spider webs to construct the own nests too, thats a nice bonus for me and less cleaning too.


Wow, yes birds are amazing creatures and so light! their light bones are so hollow sometimes weighing less than their feathers. Love them.


Yes, so delightful and treasured. Mine will mimic things that make me run looking for alarms sometimes.lol


haha, I always wondered what such distances they can fly without resting. Ive learned that some birds can fly from alaska to northern mexico without sleeping.. I wish I could fly! Vacations would be way cheaper!


Gosh, that's a good point and they would be a lot more affordable. I am addicted to playing tetris when I fly because it takes my mind off of flying. Tetris is proven to be a quick and manageable fix for people who are trying to stick to a diet, quit smoking or drinking. I use it for flying.


Tetris! such a great game, reminds me of my youth, Its been around since ive been around lol well I guess tetris is a few years older 1984 it was created!


Yes, mine too. It is one of three of the greatest games of all time. Minecraft and Sport Wii are the other two. The tetris game has been used to help people suffering with PTSD,also.


Interesting! Do you know where it was created?


Yes, it was created in Russia by a man who almost never made any money from it but eventually he did in 1996. I must admit I had the tetris effect for a while after I played. I would see everything in blocks and a way to fit.


I really love to cook. Thanksgiving in my favorite holiday to cook for. Planning the meal and making everything fit on my oven is like tetris.


Wow, It was truly a great invention and it traveled such a far way... from Russia!


Gosh, yes it did. Over every ocean too. The franchise sold more than 495 million copies not counting all the downloads in todays time.


I learned so much today, Thank you. It was fun chatting with you! Hugs and much Love to you! Take care!


Yes, so do I! and I agree, Thanksgiving and Chsitmas are my favorite Holidays. and you are right especially if you only have one oven to work with like susan westmoreland says "it's a bit like an acrobatic dance" lol


Great way to make a word picture, yes! I would totally agree. Planning backwards are what some experts say to do, like Susan Gage Caterers.


haha, true! Another of my all time fav things to do would be dance! although my back doesnt like it so much. I love watching dance videos...


Oh yeah, me too!Dancing while I bake pies for Thanksgiving is an exacta. I have a guilty pleasure of dancing to ballet musicals. I read that those ballerinas go through four pairs of pointe shoes per week.!


That is a daily, cooking and dancing! and ouch! 4 pairs! Oh my word, that beats my once every year. Another great dance was Michael Jackson, he had a patent on a device, I didnt know you could achieve lean in dance moves


Really, that is a cool fact. I liked his music even though the person is in question.


True, its hard to know truth from lies in the media unfortunately, Bruce lee was also a great dancer he even won the hong kong cha-cha championship in 1958! I didnt know there was such a thing.


The Cha Cha winner! How cool is that, Bruce Lee was an amazing athlete all the way around. I think its so sweet how babies can spontaneously dance when they hear music.lol


Do you like opera?  I don't really care for it.  There is a flaw with how opera companies present new work.


Agreed.  He's the highest all time box office star based upon earnings.


Wow. They measure box office by the number of tickets sold or the amount of money that is collected from ticket sales.


Yeah ticket sales are so important to the production companies.  Patrons can perform the transaction through many ways, but online will be the way to go in the future.


I wonder when you'll be able to buy tickets through Facebook, which was launched on February 4, 2004.


Probably at some point.  And then you could "like" the movie.  Except in a german state where the "like" button is illegal.


I heard that Facebook is mostly blue in color because its founder can't see red and green due to being color blind.


Yup.  Mark Zuckerberg went to Harvard.  Smart dude.


Rich too, even though MySpace turned down an offer to buy Facebook in 2005 for $74M.


That's just a drop in the bucket compared to their initial IPO valued at 104 billion


Yeah, that was the largest valuation to date for a company that was newly listed.


I actually do like it, though I agree with you. Especially considering the Met Opera's announcement of standard operas that don't really push any boundaries.


Pretty interesting.  Well, it's been fun chatting with you.


Enjoy the rest of your weekend.  Off to watch some NFL.


There really isn't much diversity in opera.  That doesn't hold up very well in today's world.


Yeah, that's why I pretty much stick with movies. One of my favorites is The Silence of the Lambs, which was released on Valentine's Day in 1991.


I liked that movie.  Box office gross of over $270 million


Meanwhile, The movie Trojan Wars, which costs $15M, only grossed $309 at the box office. Talk about a flop.


And Disney's "Treasure Planet" was one of the biggest box office flops of all time.  I think "Water World" was up there too.


Speaking of Disney, they considered shutting down their animation studio after Sleeping Beauty. Crazy.


Yeah, you can't think of Disney without thinking of their classic animated movies.  I wonder how they project a movie's profitability  considering that is so important.


Good question. Maybe they should include Tom Hanks more -- his worldwide BO earnings are over $8.5 billion!


It is a shame though that in such a short time we have destroyed 80% of earth's nature forests. I hope we can change that for the better going forward the next few minutes


The Earth is almost 4 times as dense as the sun.


That is pretty cool. Do you think earth will continue to be the only life inhabited planet?


I'm not sure on that. I'm a religious person and think God only put people on this planet. I have no idea if there is other life out there.


The UN even appointed official ambassadors for extraterrestrials just in case


That's crazy. Do you think there is other life out there/


Considering the vastness of space, it seems more likely for more life to exist than not


Yea that's a good point. It's hard to say if there is other lifeforms out there. Switching gears a bit, did you know there are at least 17 ways to tie your shoes?


Haha yea same here. I really only use 1 way.


Hello - I used to go to the library all the time when I was little, but I haven't been to one in a very long time. What about you? \


I wonder if shoes will evolve to be lace less? In any case, thank you for the enjoyable chat.


I agree. I used to go, but no longer. I feel it is a shame since a library is an invaluable resource for the community, offering vast amounts of resources


Yep. Did you know Jupiter saves Earth from many asteroids?


I did. It is among the many facts you can find in the library. Did you know a falsely imprisoned man spent 10 studying law and became a lawyer after proving his innocence?


Oh wow that's pretty amazing. I saw that the direction of Earth's magnetic field reverses every 200,000-300,000 years.


What kind of affect does the reversal of magnetic field have on life on earth?


I have no idea on that. I'm thinking maybe natural disasters and things of that nature.


Did you know that if earth's history was viewed as a 24 hour period, humans only make up for 1 min and 17 sec?


That's pretty eye opening of how short humans have lived on the Earth.


What do you like to do for entertainment


mine too lol, I wish I could too. That would hopefully heat my car up faster in this cold cold winter, lol! I wonder why they allow that


To prevent car jacking, I guess South Africa is a pretty dangerous place


dang, must be if they are allowing that. your car isn't a cadillac is it?


No but my brother had a 20 year old cadillac in high school. I don't think Antoine de la Mothe Cadillac would of approved of it


for sure, I am glad they just stuck with Cadillac and not the whole name lol. That guy founded Detroit.


Hopefully the never name a car after Jann Mardenborough who became a professional race car driver playing Gran Turismo


lol that is a good one. I wish it was that easy for me. I used to play gran turismo all the time on ps2


I sucked at Gran Turismo, no way I could beat 90,000 people, I could probably lose though


No way I could have that much time either, I wonder how long it took him! It was so nice chatting with you!


You too, I'm gonna catch some supernatural themed horror movies


I've been playing a lot of the Nintendo switch lately, it's pretty crazy the original nes wasn't discontinued until 2003


That is crazy. The original NES had only 54 colors, I wonder how much the switch has


who knows but it's pretty cool that the Switch can play all the old nes games in their 54 color glory


no way, I never knew that. I was big into mario back in the day. It was like caesar going to britian for the first time and seeing them use chicken as entertainment


I bet Caesar was the first person to tell the British that they could cook the chickens


lol, I could see that totally happen lol. Did you know Reagan was an actor before becoming president?


Yea, he was once rejected for a film role because he didn't look too presidential


yea, that is so crazy, times were different and he was different then also probably. Do you own a car?


Yea, it's pretty beat up though. I wish I could equip it with a flame thrower like you can in South Africa


Hey there do you like to dance? I like to dance I'm just horrible at it haha


Yep you're right, that's a great music video by the way! Do you ever go golfing by the way? That's something I've tried but I'm just not good at it


Miniature golf is awesome! I need to go back I haven't done that in so long! What I don't like those how much water golf courses use, have you heard about this?


Yeah mini golf is awesome.  Yeah I wonder why they need so much water.


Yep I agree. I can't believe the average golf course uses 300,000 gallons of water, and then the one in Dubai AKA Saudi Arabia uses four million gallons a day, that's just insane and such a waste


That is ridiculous!  And how many countries dont have clean water for people and golfers are just throwing it away to the grass or whatever.


Yep I agree. Just for a game instead of for people who actually need the clean water. I also didn't know that Babe Ruth was a golfer, I only heard about him being a good baseball player


same here.  samuel l jackson get 2 days a week to play golf in his work clause.


That's pretty awesome! I bet he's really good. I didn't know too, in terms of wasting things, how much space golf courses use up. Apparently all the golf courses in the United States could take up the size of Rhode Island and Delaware combined


Yes I love to dance.  did you know Bruce lee was a great dancer,  he won a cha cha championship


Haha that is true. It's still a lot of space though, it's two states! What do you think about literature by the way? Do you ever read a book


No I didn't know that. I think he was really talented personally, do you ever watch ballet by chance?


Ive seen some shows when I was younger,  nothing recently.


Well I used to date a ballerina, and I know that her toes would get really beating up from all of the dancing, so it doesn't surprise me that professional ballet dancers can go through four pairs of shoes a week, even though that sounds crazy


I know right.  Tupac danced ballet in high school


Yeah that's crazy. He was in The Nutcracker. You think anyone has a videotape of that? I bet they would make a lot of money haha. I also need to watch a baby dance. Apparently if you put on good music they will Bob to the beat


I would like to see Tupac dance ballet as well.  As for the baby dancing,  I have seen that so many times,  its adorable.


I need to see that! I also want to see the patent that Michael Jackson has, it's the patent for his extreme lean dance move that he would do onstage, I think he should be the only one to use it because he did it best


Its in his music video " smooth criminal"


did you know that Julius Caesar wrote hercules fan fiction as a kid haha thats crazy


Did you know in the 50's a judge tried to ban a comic because it featured a black character, that wasn't that long ago


Wow, no, didn't know that, well, it seems that we don't know too much about these things, lol, do you happen to know what comic?


I don't but I'd be curious to read it, I'm sure it was incredibly tame espeically by todays standards


hahaha, yes, are you old enough to have watched Simon Templar, The Saint? I used to watch it.


haha I didn't see the TV show but I have seen the Val Kilmer movie, I'm sure it wasn't as good as the original but I did enjoy it


I guess you are pretty young. It used to play it Roger Moore, I think he is now named a Knight by the Queen Elizabeth II


I know Roger Moore from being James Bond, I always liked Sean Connery the best though, Roger Moore always seemed like he played the character like a goofball instead of being sserious


Oh, wow, I like your opinion, though I am a fan or Roger Moore, well, did you happen to read Edgar Allan Poe?. I was scared when I read him.


I remember reading his work in high school. I liked The Raven the best, his poetry was amazing there, his stories I could see them being creepy for the time and if you were a kid, I read them in high school so I wasn't scared but I did find them entertaining


Wow, I am so glad to find somebody with your knowledgement. I loved the Beating Heart, well, almost all his stories. But I used to read it by myself. Do you like Cinematography?


No, I didn't know, do you happen to like Agatha Christie?


I know a little bit about it, I know that Roger Deakins works with the Coen brothers and does excellent work but has never won an Oscar


It has to be so frustrating, if I were here, I would loved to win once in a while. Nice to meet you.


yes I guess he was nominated 13 times and never won, but nice to meet you too!


I don't really know much about her, what did she write?


Uh, wonderful thrillers, I  remember one, The crooked house, a good one, I highly recommend it.


do you watch game of thrones? George rr Martin says that fan fiction is copyright infringement, I don't really agree with him that seems like a silly thing to think


I have watched, yes is a good one, I am with you, is silly


Also shocking is there is only 1 episode of the simpsons where bart both doesn't appear and is not mentioned


Oh, didn't know that, as well, as I didn't know about the chinese thrillers, have you read one?


no I haven't, what is so special about them, I don't know anything about it


I don't know, the only Chinese thing that I know is their history, but I haven't follow their art or books.


Hello what sort of entertainment do you enjoy?


He really was. Almost as good as ronald reagan was. Do you know reagan once got rejected for a role because he didnt look presidential enough.


That is too funny! I'm sure he was laughing when he won the presidential election at them!


Im sure whoever that director was felt like a real dummy. Lol. So did you ever have a nintendo?


I agree! I played but not too much as a kid, I was a sega kid. How about you?


I loved nintendo. Did you know that it could only display 54 colors.


I didn't know that! Gaming technology really has come a long way haha.


It sure has. The nintendo was finally discontinued in september of 2003 in Japan. It had a good run though.


I would agree with you on that one! Do you see what Blizzard Entertainment gives their employees for awards?


They give them awesome swords and shields haha. Anyways, great chatting with you!


I like just about anything, especially the NFL since it's considered an entertainment business haha. You?


That is awesome. Im gonna go look up eminems oscar awards and see how many he actually has. HAve a good one.


I also enjoy the NFL. On another note. Did you ever watch bill nye the science guy?


I used to love that show! How did he get into the business anyways?


Its actually a funny story. He entered a steve martin look a like contest and won it. Lol.


That's a great way to get into the entertainment business for sure! Do you know what the e stands for in chuck e cheese?


It is! haha. Did you watch the academy awards at all this year?


I cant say that I did, because that would be a lie. Did you know the only actor to win best actor 3 times is daniel day-lewis.


He deserved every one of them too. He's a great actor!


Iceland has not trains and have to travel by airline between major towns.


Sounds pretty expensive to have to fly but Iceland doesn't have a large population so I guess it's not economical to build a public rail


Im not sure why people have to travel now, the internet has made the worlds smaller.


Yea but the internet also can cause addiction from constant link clicking


Guilty as charged haha.  I like to share files and network.


I like to not read the full terms when buying stuff online lol, only 7% of people actually read them


I hope the library of alexandria doesn't include those in their copy of the internet


I dont get those guys, how could the internet burn down?


I don't know, maybe the Library of Alexandria is plotting something


Yea I love traveling, especially by car around the country and back roads


Did you know the dutch are creating a bus that can go 160mph?


No, that sounds like fun, I wonder how much it will cost to ride the 160 mph bus


Haha good question.  If it was in Japan, there are $300 worth of tolls to travel the country.


I'd love to travel Japan but don't think i could afford $300 in tolls after a plane ticket to Japan


The first King to travel the world was from hawaii.


Yea, King Kalakaua, I wonder which places were his favorite


Not Macinac island, it banned all motorized vehicles.


Pretty ironic Macianac island has banned cars considering how many cars are designed in Michigan


I know.  Fox news is watched by more people than CNN and MSNBC combined.  I was surprised.  I thought that CNN has at least the same numbers of audience as fox news.


They say the average age of a Fox News viewer is 68. Ironically, that is also the IQ of the average TV news anchor on any network!


I did not know that.  Do you know that Fox also owns gaming website IGN?


I'll bet that's a money maker!  You know, there is a website where you can go to listen to thousands of classic radio dramas?  Radio is a media I can get behind!


Yes, you can listen for free.  I like free stuff.


Yup. I enjoy old radio shows. You know, in 1948, over half of music being played on the radio was Bing Crosby? Now that is popularity!


I did not know that. Talking about radio, do you know that one could hear jupiter's radio storms via an AM radio?


Nice!  I wonder if that is where they got the iea for that radio station that translates solar activity into sound, and plays it on th radio as solar music?


Probably.  By the way, fox news was created by two Richards.  Can you guess who they were?


II enjoy learrning about distant lands a far away places, but I do not enjoy th e act of traveling itself. I would enjoy it of somebody took my gnome statue with them n their next rip as long as they brought it back with pictures.


Close enough.  Who is Peabody anyway?  Anyway, I have got to run.  Nice chatting with you.


That was funny.  Apparently, the Dutch government is building a commuter bus designed to travel at 160 miles per hour.  I would not want to ride on that type of bus.


I'll wait for the development of transporters...Beam me up Scotty! Fast buses are an improvement, especially since airfare these days is slower than it used to be!


I heard that all japan highways are toll.  It would cost you more than $300 to travel across the country.


I'd walk... You know, years ago, travelers on ships would release rabbits on islands the visit, to seed them for future harvest as meals for the next travelers to come that way. Since Japan is a big island, I wonder if they have a few extra rabbit you can eat as you drive across country?


No, I don't think so.  Apparently, Mackinac Island has banned motorized vehicles.


Oh, no! I was going to visit there in the spring and bring my tank... Oh, well. Maybe we can get Fox news to sue them!  After all, they'll sue anyone...they sued the Simpsons!


You can bring your rabbits.  I wonder why they would sue the Simpsons since they own the series.


Apparently,, they merely threatened a lawsuit to stop the Simpsons from running a parody of the news network. We live in litigious society!


I know... I worked in a warehouse for 1.5 years and it was the worst. My feel and legs killed all the time. I was not made out for that..


I hear you just walking from the car inside my work place is tiring so i can'e imagine.


Although they make more than I did. And if they got stock options... I would suffer for that...


There a clock that bezos built that is supposed to last 10,000 years.


Boom! I was not aware that the owned IMBD.


Yeah. He owns like half of the US and a large portion of Istanbul. That might be hyperbole...


More than i should but i usually use it to learn stuff, like fixing my car or computer.


I use it for that too but I do not do that that much so... It has been nice chatting with you!


He could afford to do it but wouldn't want to take the pay cut. Plus he probably has more power in his role as CEO. He also own WaPo so he has the voice too.


Not familiar with WaPo? They even offer international shipping, now.


Sorry, washington post. I cannot believe amazon was founded in 1994.


Yeah seems like it's been around forever. How did we ever get along with out it? They have a contract with usps to deliver pkgs on Sundays.


did you now they owned IMDB too? Man, they own everything!


I know right! Imagine having a building named after you for being the first customer.


All that for the low, low price of $27.95!


Right, i wonder which building it was. Apparently you can loose a lot of weight working in the warehouse. You'll walk about 7-15 miles a shift.


did you know that dogs have 12 different blood types?


haha yes Pikachu would be awesome! did you ever watch That 70's show? I guess they tried to remake it for English audiences but it was quickly cancelled haha


I liked that show, Fez was my favorite character, did you used to watch that show? and yeah remakes are usually pretty bad


ya I watched it a bit I did like it, I could see how it might not translate across the pond though, did you watch Thomas the Tank as a kid?


I did watch it, it was one of my favorite shows


ya it was pretty cool, I can't believe they let George Carlin do some narration on there, like he is definitely known for a filthy mouth haha


I liked the voice of Alec Baldwin I think he is a great narrator, also Ringo Stark  both are pretty decent.
