I loved Narcos but haven't watched the current season. I saw the Bundy Tapes on there and was intrigued but didn't click on it. Is it really good?


Oh , you must watch the next season of Narcos it only gets better! Yes, The Bundy Tapes has me hooked. I am intrigued with true life crime shows. I am so glad Reed Hastings started Netflix lol I don't even have Cable anymore.


Who is reed hastings? Did you watch to catch a killer?


Reed Hastings is the man who after getting 40 bucks in late fee's from a video store he came up with the idea of Netflix and then started it up. I did watch that, and Making a Murderer. Some shows I watch on the internet through an app too.


Sorry about the Reed Hastings question, so dumb on my part... Was the second one any good? I only watched like 4 episodes of the first season. What was the second season about? Was he guilty?


Which show are speaking of, On Making a Murderer I haven't finished yet.


Yeah that one... I want to circle back and watch it but do not have the time. I should take a week off of work just to catch up on this stuff. I just have too little time... Is the Bundy Tapes really about Ted Bundy and his life?


Hahaha, yes you should catch up definitely! Yes, it's all about Ted Bundy's life and what led him to him being a murderer.....only watched 2 episodes so far but very good!


I will check it out,. Nice chatting with you!


I am great, thanks! So do you like shopping on Amazon?


I do like shopping on Amazon but I always don't like what I get, if that makes sense. It's underwhelming... Do you use Amazon?


I know what you mean! I do use Amazon and kinda stick to the sellers that I know have high quality products. If not I return them. I know someone who works in Amazon's warehouse and they walk 7 to 15 miles a day, they are so busy!


I know! I used to work in a warehouse doing that wort of sork and summer was a sweaty mess! I am so glad Kohls has a return site for amazon now. It makes poor purchases a little more tolerable...


Oh wow, I have heard it's a tough job to have. Amazon is growing so much that I think you can buy or return anything on there now. Even the delivery service is huge, the u.s postal service has a contract with Amazon to deliver packages on Sunday!


It makes sense since their stuff is not in use on sundays and they can take advantage of it with additional revenue. I had no idea they owned IMDB


Right? Makes sense. Really? I didn't know that either, wow! I didn't know Amazon was founded in 1994...that's crazy!


Yeah. Seems like I have been wasting my life compared to him... He's going through a divorce now. They married one year before he started amazon. She's gonna be rich!


He once considered retiring from football in order to become a professional competitive video game player.


Now that I did not know about him!  He's a great football player and I guess it would make sense that he plays video games so well.  He's probably a very competitive person!


I am sure he is. You's have to be to be a top p[layer. I was taken aback when I learned that the huddle was created by a deaf QB.


That is surprising.  I just thought the huddle was part of the game.  Say, talking about quarterbacks a minute ago, I heard recently that Brad Johnson is the only quarterback in history to throw a touchdown pass to himself!  I wonder how he did that!


I would be very curious to learn that also. Were they close to the line and he ran forward after the throw and it got bobbled? That's my only guess.


I have no idea but i'd like to see the video of it.  I bet a lot of teams have watched it just to see if they can do it too.  It seems like everything about football on and off the field is a learning experience for players and coaches.


Totally off subject but do you find sharks interesting?


i guess I do a little.  I think they might get a bit of a bad rap though.  Statistics say more people are bitten by new yorkers than by sharks in a year.


I'm sure that that's true. Did you know that they don't have rib cages?


No I didn't know that.  That seems weird because they seem like they have such a defined body and a strong one at that.  I do know though that they have personality like people or even dogs for that matter.


Yes I am.  What do you think about the 49ers quarterback that came from the patriots?


Yes because the lack of rib cage their own weight on land can crush their body.


I feel bad but I was not aware that a 49ers QB came from the Patriots. When I think of the Patriots and QB I think of Tom Brady only at this point.


Yeah I know what you mean.  Garoppolo was Brady's back up so he was rarely seen or talked about until now.   He has had some wins with the 49ers since being traded.


I do know who you are talking about now that you say the name. Are you familiar with Alex Smith?


I think he's the Redskins quarterback but I'm not sure on that.  Is he the one that got traded from kansas city?


Yes that's him. He entered college as a junior and was working on his master's when drafted. Very intelligent man.


That is impressive.  I have heard a lot about kellan moore in the news lately.  I was surprised to learn that he's the only left handed quarterback in the nfl.


Ia m also surprised there is only one left handed QB. Have you heard of Baker Mayfield?


Oh, definitely!  He's the former quarterback of the Oklahoma Sooners that has gone on to do a fantastic job for the Browns!  You know quarterbacks are considered leaders of the offense and he has definitely became a leader.


Hey, how are you?  Do you like to travel?  I love it in all forms: walking, biking, driving, flying, and boating!


Haha, that would be tough from Hawaii!  I wonder when that was?  Probably not long ago relative to the fact humans started exhibiting modern behavior all the way back 50,000 years ago.


Wow I didn't know that. Very interesting. I saw humans lost their body hair about 240,000 years ago.


I am curious to know why more animals have not lost their body hair.  Some funny differences like that with humans like the fact animals and plants can synthesize their own vitamin c, but we cannot.


That's very interesting. There is a sound frequency that causes fear in humans.


I would like to know if that would work on me!  Are you a football fan?  I love football!  I am a Bears fan!


I love football. I'm a Bengals fan. I saw Iowa painted the opposing team locker room


That is some great subtle gamesmanship!  It is funny the word football can mean so many different games and is defined by what region you are in at the moment.


I agree. In the 1960's the top bowlers made twice as much as top football stars.


That is hard to even comprehend now!  Almost as tough as hearing that Georgia Tech once won a football game 222-0!!


I can't believe it. I would hate to be on Cumberland's team. Talk about depressing.


Hello, I'm good thank you. I love to travel. Did you know the Dutch are creating a bus that goes 160 mph?


Yes, that would be a hard one to come back from!


I agree. Well, good chatting with you. Have a good one.


That sounds scary!  I prefer something like Mackinac Island where motorized vehicles are banned.  That would be fun to visit!


That would be very cool to visit. What state is that in?


It is in Lake Huron and part of Michigan.


Very cool. I'd love to visit. All of Japan's highways have tolls so it would cost about $300 to cross the country.


That is not cheap!  Although better than Iceland where they do not have rail service and most people are forced to fly between the major towns.


That would be terrible to not have a public rail system.


Agreed.  Maybe they should run!  Humans are among the best long distance runners among all animals.  That is surprising when you think about it!


I didn't know that. Very interesting. The first kind to travel the world was from Hawaii. Maybe he ran everywhere lol.


Did you know U2 was once introduced as a Country Music band?


what a beautiful and inspiring story also an Instagram model who is competing because her mom, who died of breast cancer


That's sad. We really need to dedicate our lives to our loved ones while they are still here to see us, though.


That is right, that gives us more motivation to watch the show. The 27th season was announced by ABC recently


Yeah, watching the show with loved ones would be a good idea


One of the cast members of this season is called Bobby bones who is a country radio personality and stand up comedian, he also has a band


He was a mentor on American Idol last season, too.


Yes and hosts the most popular morning country show


Juan Pablo Di Pace will also be on dancing with the stars. He plays Kimmy's estranged husband on Fuller House. I find him kind of annoying on Fuller House.


Maybe he will not annoy you as much when dancing... talking about comedy shows did you ever watch 3rd rock from the sun


I did watch it, thought it was never one of my favorites.


I didn't know that. It's surprising that they actually played country music and opened for themselves.


I loved it and It did beat Frasier, Seinfield and even friends... I did like all those shows


Speaking of comedies, the Green Lantern Film was originally supposed to be a comedy.


This  happened in 1987 and they had Wigs and costumes


Did you know that country musc legend George Strait and Jeff Bezos, who is arguably the wealthiest man in the world, are cousins?


No I did not know that. Interesting. I just learned that the fender stratocaster guitar was designed for country music.


That's cool. I didn't know that country music was derived from Irish, Celtic, English, and cowboy music. That makes sense though.


It is beautiful to see how music transforms. It also has roots in folk music and blues.


Yes, I like dance too. Like Dancing with the stars


I never really got into Dancing with the Stars though I know it's really popular. I was excited to know that Paralympic skier Danielle Umstead is the first blind performer.


Yeah, it makes the whole series come together.


Very cool.  Apparently Marvel trademarked the names "super-hero" and "super-villain".  I guess those words didn't need to exist before!


If they made them then I am fine with that. Did you know netflix was founded because one of the founders got late fees on a rental?


That is curious!  Imagine creating a multi-billion dollar company just because of late fees!  I can't believe that Netflix pays more in postage than in broadband.  Who are they mailing stuff to?


Some people get movies sent to them.  I did that when they first started. Do you like comic books?


Do they still mail movies to people?  I thought they stopped that.  I am not really into comic books, I like the movies because of the humor they put in there.  Do you like comic books?


They might not anymore.  Maybe it's now advertising? I like american comics.  Do you like marvel or DC more?


I don't have a preference, I think I like them both equally.  Is that ok to do?  Like I said, all I know is from the movies.  I really liked the X-Men series when they were out.


I really like superman and batman the most.


Oh nice choice.  I like the batman lego game.  Can you believe that Netflix and YouTube make up half of the peak internet traffice in the states?


Hi, I really like the movies.  How about you?


Yes I can believe that.  I constantly use them.


Lol!  I use Netflix, not YouTube.  So are superman and batman DC?


I am more into netflix shows.  Have you you seen Iron Fist?


I have not, but it sounds like an exciting show!


The first season was OK, but the second season has a new main person.


Yes, Colleen Wing.  Do you like her character?


At least she is Asian which the character is supposed to be.


Yeah, it's a nice twist to put a female asian in the lead role.  Did you know that Stan Lee ended every phone conversation with Excelsior!"?


No, I did not know that. Another major revelation is she may be the descendant of Wu Ao-Shi, the first female Iron Fist.


Yeah, that's very exciting!  And a nice twist!


That's pretty neat they are smart enough to get around like that.  lol  Dogs are not color blind...they just can't see as many different colors as humans.


I was not aware they were colorblind. Dogs even have eureka moment and enjoy the experience of solving a problem in order to obtain a reward.


How interesting is that!  Do you use facebook?


Yes I use Facebook. Mark Zuckerberg was a genius for creating it. It launched back in 2004.


I can't believe how the time flies!  Myspace turned down an offer to buy Facebook for $75 million only a year after it was created  in 2005!


Wow. I bet they wish they could go back in time. There're more people on Facebook then there were people in the world 200 years ago.


Isn't that a crazy stat?  Did you hear about the Facebook promotion that Burger King had?


No what was the promo? Was it related to the fact that Facebook has 56 custom gender options?


Nope...if you unfriended 10 people on Facebook, Burger King would give you a free whopper!  I've had fun chatting!


Oh wow I would for sure do that! Also the like button was almost called the awesome button! But anyways great chatting with you too!


I love dogs. What's not to love? They are man's best friend.


I agree!  I like how they are able to be used to help disabled people and therapeutic roles.  I have soft spot for those issues.


Me too. Russia has a tomb of the unknown dog which is a memorial for canine research subjects. It's sad to think that they get experimented on.


I agree.  Did you know that there are 12 different blood types that a dog may have?


WowThat is more than I expected. Dogs can also learn over 1000 words and can reason better than chimps


That's incredible!  Dogs and elepants are the only animals that seem to instinctively understand pointing.


Interesting. Did you also know that dogs drink with the underside of their tongue?


I didn't know that!  Google prefers dogs to cats.  They included it in their code of conduct that they are a dog company.  lol


That is a very interesting detail to include. Some dogs in Russia have learned how to use the subway!


Not that much. I wish we could go back to simpler times. I remember having a rotary phone. DId you know that NY's area code is 212 because it is the fastest to dial on a rotary phone?


That is just so cool. I mean they were kind of fun but a hassle to make a call really. I wonder how long the cables that carry phone and internet data are?


I loved dialing numbers on the phone. Now phones these days, specifically the iphone, have more computing power than an entire us nuclear icbm deterrent


That is mind blowing. UNICEF actually donates clean water when you don't use the phone. I wonder how much they donate. Everyone seems to be on their phones.


That is interesting. I wonder why they don't want people to use their phones?


Not very sure, maybe because we spend so much time with our phones and do not socialize as much, I don't know.


I find it scary but also fascinating how much we have progressed in the last century. It's pretty cool that phone and internet cables are on the ocean floor.


I know, that must be miles and miles of cables. On another topic., do you like jazz music?


I do! I love going to listen to jazz live. I don't really listen to it at home. I never knew that Jazz trumpet players grew goatees in order to provide comfort when playing


Hello, good thanks. Do you like to watch live dance performances?


That is just so cool. Hey, it was really nice chatting with you.


Not really. Apparently there is a board game inspired movement by the Ragamala Dance Company.


Interesting. Cool to think that even Bruce Lee was a great dancer and won a dance championship.


That's cool, I did not know that. Tupac is another person who I would not have expected to be a dancer. He did ballet in high school.


I know. I guess we all have some sort of hidden talent that does not match what we are best known for. Babies apparently seem to be great dancers too as they love the music.


I wonder why as we get older, some of us are not that great at finding the beat in music


Must be something with the brain and the connections that are made later in life. Apparently Michael jackson has a patent on a device that helped him achieve his dance moves.


For sure, they didn't stop making them until 2003!


Some things are timeless, like the NES.  Some things reinvent themselves again and again.  Comedy Central has cancelled 100 shows since 1989.  Change for changes sake.


right! Things change, nintendo stays the same


Everything he does seems similar.  So, a little goes a long way.  The green lantern film was going to be comedy with Jack Black.


That would have been better than how it actually went. I would have loved it with Jack Black.


Then, the film would have been parody.  Subverting the popular super hero movie for comedy.


Lets make this happen! Good chatting with you!


I have always enjoyed Steve Martin.  That guy had humor.


Yeas, Bill Murray is an icon.  I just dont understand Kung Fu Hustle.


I have never seen it, I heard it was comedy gold though


In Athenian democracy, the opinion of voters were swayed by comedic poets. Very much like today.


I never knew that, ever heard of julius caesar?


I hear he was some sort of leader.  Some one with social standing.  Like Bill Murray, but better. why?


He was confused when he went to Britain and they were using chickens for entertainment.


Perhaps Julius was into satire, portraying persons as corrupt and alienating them from the audience.


for sure! Imagine if he used a nintendo back then


I find it interesting to note that the Nintendo system could only display 54 colors.  Julius would have liked it.


Facebook appears to be in trouble in Ireland, that can't seem to stay out of the headlines right now.


I'm not sure I have enough to unfriend, I have an account but barely use it.  Facebook makes people unsocial so I avoid it.


I don't use Facebook hardly anyways either. That's why I'm highly skeptical that it was used to change an election for Trump, but not Obama even though Obama went around bragging about doing the same thing Trump did with his firm Blue Labs.


I dislike that Facebook share information with so many, even of people that don't have accounts, sometimes personal stuff.


I just figured that is their entire business model, I mean what else are they going to sell?


I suppose so, but that does not make it right.  They need to be up front about what they are selling.  Mr Zuckerburg probably has enough cash now.


I just figured everyone knew that is what they are selling, I mean if you run a social platform using people's info, what else could they sell?


Eventually Mr Zuckerburg may feel he has enough money, maybe then he'll become more responsible.  Maybe he'll fix his colorblindness.


He doesn't own all of Facebook. Shareholders do own it as well. If you have a retirement and own index funds so do you.


I believe he still has over fifty percent interest.  Facebook will make up just one small very part of a retirement portfolio, any change in a single company will have effectively zero impact on any mutual fund.


Yup, but if the stock starts to fall it will really pull down the SnP500 and Nasdaq. People will complain. Actually this happened last year already.


Interesting, what are they in trouble for?


The tech market is overvalued, these companies have taken the low hanging fruit, there is no way that they can reproduce the growth figures that their prices would indicate.  Stocks go up and then down.


Pretty much the same as here, allowing its platform to spread false information and affect political debate.


There must have been some concern, Facebook stopped allowing adverts from outside Ireland.


Interesting, is it because the liberal party is going to lose an election over there?


I believe it was a constitution referendum, American agencies were trying to influence opinion there.  The Irish didn't like these groups trying to influence their constitution.


Interesting. I mean every country tries to influence outside countries elections, is that just a given? Like what we are doing with Venezuela now?


I suppose the feeling is that we shouldn't, whether it happens or not.  It would appear that they had little effect in Ireland, the referendum was passed easily.


I've never been there. Did you unfriend 10 people to win a whopper on facebook?


yes absolutely. I was more upset over Chris Cornell. So sad.


I dont really know his work,  except he was on soundgarden.  Seeems like a lot of musicians suffer from some sort of ailment.


Lots of them "stars" do too. Its so outta control the world seems at times.


I know right!  Thats really sad.  What type of music do you listen to?


I love rock and rap no country really  I know I am strange. How bout you?


I like all kinds,  even country sometimes.  I listen to mostly r&b and rap,  and a lot of disney songs lol


Thats cool. I listen to a lot of radio. Do you?


Yes,  or pandora.  Im not picky,  anything that sounds good,  or that I can sing a long to.


Yes me too. Its has been good chatting with you.


I am good thanks. Are you interested in outer space?


Cool Did you know that The planet uranus actually rotates sideways and "rolls" around the sun rather than "spinning" like the other planets.


Not until today!  I'm learning so much from these chats.  That's interesting.  I wonder if it only experiences seasons on the part that the sun shines on.


So interesting.  Around one in five sun-like stars is thought to have an Earth-sized planet in its habitable zone.  I wonder what grows on these stars?  Maybe this is where Actor and Actresses come from lol (Stars)


LOL Linkin park's "hybrid theory" is the best-selling album of the 21st century.


Thats amazing,  I love that band.  Really sad about Chester Bennington though.


WOW, I wonder if the Honus Wagner card is still the most valuable.


It probably is. i have no idea what its value is, but it has to be one of the most.


Yeah, it is the most valuable card ever.


That is what i heard. i know that cards came with packs of cigarettes. that has changed! LOL


Hilarious! I wonder what it is worth these days?


i have no idea. millions? you got me. some tech billionaire will want the thing and pay a ton.


Yeah, that is probably true. Did you know kickball in canada is called soccer baseball?


That is a cutesy name. i wonder why they chose that. kickball is better, i think.


Yeah, I'm not sure, but it seems hilarious. Well, nice chatting with you!


I sometimes follow baseball. usually around the world series. you?


Yeah, usually when my home team is doing good.


i find the game to be too slow most of the time. I would prefer to watch the highlights and get the gist.


Yeah, they are better to attend in person. Or I should say they used to be better until they jacked the price of a beer up to $12.


I do not buy anything at games. i get loaded up before and then partake after. during the game, no.


That's probably a good idea. Did you know somebody found $3 mill of baseball cards in their attic?


I would love to make such a find. i would sell some of the cards, and keep the rest as an investment.


Yeah, me too. They must have been very old cards.


I think they were from before 1900. classics. very rare. collectors were probably pretty excited.


Hey. One of my favorite Holiday's is Halloween! The new Halloween remake was great I thought because it retains many things from the original!


Yeah I would like to know that as well. I wonder if he heard the waterphone at all. That is how they make the creepy metallic noises.


A waterphone? Is that like a saxophone? LOL. It must have water in it or something. Pretty spooky. By the way, do you like cars?


Yeah to create that sound it must be! Yeah I love cars! Crazy that they were invented back in 1886!


I know that Benz was an innovator that every car company owes a deb to. Would you want to drive in South Africa though?


Knowing that people could have flamethrowers? Probably not. I wonder why they even need flamethrowers?


I know that there is a lot of carjacking there. I don't know if flamethrowers are the best approach to that though.


Yeah I would think a gun would do the trick! Cadillac is a good brand which was named after a French explorer!


I guess the town Detroit also has a French name. I think the Cadillac is a nice car. Would look nice with some flamethrowers too.


Haha yeah I wonder if there are any flame thrower cadillacs in Africa? Gran Turismo must be a realistic game if Jann Mardenborough became a pro driver from beating 90,000 people!


Did that really happen? 90k games is a lot. How long would it take to do that? Anyway, great chat!


I saw the original a long time ago. I'm not really in horror. I do like a couple of films in the genre though.


The trunk of the car actually used to be a wooden trunk too. You too have a good one :)


Oh nice. I also enjoyed It, the Stephen King remake. He is a great horror creator even though he was scared of Bambi as a child!


I guess he was traumatized enough to make it his profession. It was a pretty scary film for a child, I guess.


True. People should try looking at abstract art after watching a horror film because apparently you can appreciate it more!


I don't understand the connection, but I guess you see something more in art after being terrified.


Yeah. Another thing is that when you are terrified you can burn more calories! Up to 180 calories after a horror movie!


I wonder how often that happens. I guess your heart can get going pretty quickly That's quite a bit of exercise there.


Yeah they should play horror movies at the gym! The Shining was a good one. The actor playing Danny Boy didn't even realize he was acting out a horror movie at the time!


I wonder what kind of film he thought it was. An adventure? A drama? A kid's film?


So we can make a blue rose now, when I say we I mean they, as in genetic engineers.


Humans can sometimes have a very negative affect on the Earth, hopefully we can fix our ways and work with, rather than against, Earth.


Exactly, I hope all the new technology helps us save the planet rather than keep destroying it like we are doing.


Maybe one day they can genetically manufacture us so as that human can synthesize vitamin C like most other animals.


I never knew that, very interesting fact.  I wonder why we are the only animals that can't?


Evolution I guess, or intelligent design, depending on your viewpoint.  Just like us losing body hair 240,000 years back.


That is pretty wild, and i don't think that is relatively long in the grand scheme of humans, I do know we are adapted to be the best distance runners of all the animals as well.


Yeah, and we are probably the only ones running for fun, if you can call it that.   You don't see many animals training for a marathon.


I would have to agree, never thought about that, I think we do lots of things for fun that most animals would never do.


Seems odd that humans like to swim, I guess we want to return to being fish.


Yeah it does, and it sounds like freshwater fish drink water through their skin while saltwater fish drink it through their mouth.


I think messing around with DNA is very interesting myself.


Well it was a good chat, have a good day.


To a certain degree we have been doing it for centuries by selective breeding.  That is not natural so in a sense is genetic engineering.


Yeah that's a good point, we have been doing it forever basically.  Sounds like we are making disease-resistent crops as well.


For the main it sounds beneficial.  The writer tries to link genetic engineer and extinctions of animals and insects, but I think they are separate issues.


I would have to agree with you on that. I think the rate of extinctions has most to do with us destroying their environments.


Maybe all this research into genetics and DNA can be beneficial in the long run in terms of extinctions.  I understand they can save DNA now.


Yeah I hope you are right, I hope they use the new info on genetics to determine just why some go extinct and just how we can save them.


That insect are disappearing seems a worry, especially the bees.  A friend of mine keeps bees and says he loses hives more regularly now than in the past.


Yeah the bees scare me very much, they have had articles in my local paper over the bee concern.  It is all of the pesticides they use, the neon-somthings that all of Europe have banned, they eventually get into the bee system and destroy it, so sad.


Productions had a better quality back then, celebrities did it for the passion,, like Carol Burnett


She is a gem. She was the first celeb to do a cameo on Sesame Street. Nowadays, celebs have different priorities.


I agree, they are more focused on social media, another great actor was Robin Williams, sad he decided to end his life


We can be thankful of the work he left behind for us, like his voice performance in Aladdin! He was one of the first celebs to do a voice for disney animations, and today you can hardly find a Disney animation without a celeb voce.


He sure changed things in the industry, I wonder if he ever visited Pixar Studios secret room


Yeah, I want to do that. Then I would know that I have truly arrived!  The closest I will probably get is watching the Ethiopian TV Chef and hear about his combat against hunger...


He sounds like a celebrity that cares about the world and wants to change it, I respect that.


He should run for government office!  The closest I will get to government office is to be sold the Eiffel Tower by someone impersonating a government official...


Who would fall for that lol, that is so funny, I guess some people are just born as suckers


When the government is involved, we are all suckers. Did you know that the federal gov owns 86% of Nevada? Really?  The worlds biggest sandbox, and we get a piece of that?  Good move fed...


No, I do not read comics, but I do enjoy the characters and stories that make it to the movie screen. And it is more than just seeing celebrities in costume. The plots and stories are engaging. How about you?


86% of the land, Wow, that seems really unfair.


I love comic books, super heroes and all, DC comics and Marvel comics are the most popular franchises out there.


Yeah. And didn't Stan Lee write for both of them?


I'm not sure, I  heard he contributed in some of DC comics but he was the creator of their biggest rival, Marvel comics


I heard he ends every phone call with the word, "excelsior."  I want to end every text message with the word, "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!"


He ended them that way, he died last year, but interesting way of ending a call.


Sorry to hear that. Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious.


He was a legend, so what are your thoughts on celebrities, they sure earn a lot of money


Yeah. Judge Judy alone earns $123k per episode, second only to Lebron James for paid celebrities. I prefer the good old days when celebrities were just working class actors, like Jimmy Stewart.


Yeah I bet. Did you ever use a phonebook then?


Not really, you? Do you know who helped with the invention of the cell phone?


Hmm not sure, who was that? Also, if two phonebooks get stuck together there is no separating them


I do actually. DO you know when it was invented?


Yes that was back in 2004 and was invented by Mark


I do not know that but I do know that they are mentioned in one third of divorce filings


Pretty scary. It is blue though because Mark is colorblind green and red


Oh I see. THey have 56 different genders listed in there


Yes a lot actually. Do you know who invented it?


Wow that is amazing. It was nice chatting with you.


It was an undertaker who though he was losing business because they were rerouting his calls to others


Nice. Do you know why the NY area code is 212?


Hmm no idea. DId you know dolphins can talk through the phone too?


Nice, how come? The area code was because it was easy to dial on a rotary phone


Wow cool. Well dolphins can tell who is on the other side of the phone line


No but I remember playing with it. It was a pain to dial each number


The american team has never placed below 3rd since the womens world cup in 91


The women are great! i wish that more americans followed the sport. the us women do a great job of representing the country.


Sounds like it! Have you ever seen the variation of soccer where 3 teams play against each other?


No, i havent and i wouldnt want to bet on one of those games. or be a referee. LOL


Yeah, it does. i wonder why it was created in the first place. Do you watch tv much these days?


i dont watch often. i usually watch when i go to the gym and exercise. i use the computer now.


Same here.  Do you remember the simpsons?


Yeah, loved the first eight seasons. classic television.


There is an episode where Bart doesnt appear.


Just one. Ok. i wonder which one it was. Anyway, great chat!


It was Bart is not dead I think.  Yes,  great conversation,  Thanks for the chat.


Hello I am doing great.  How about yourself?  The united states got 3rd place in the 1st world cup!


Yeah, and since then it has not been good for the mens team. the women have done well though.


Thats crazy that soccer makes more money than most american sports put together!


Yeah, the world loves soccer. men and women, young and old. they all love to watch local and national competition.


I had no idea it generated that much money,  that is amazing.  It is also called association football.


Yeah, that is the root of the word "soccer." i think it is funny that they chose that name. football makes more sense, but american football probably was more popular.


lol football does make more sense.  American football has hardly anything to do with the foot lol


True, i dont know why they chose that name. i get there wasnt another simple name out there? i dont know.


I wonder how that would worl. DO you know who Carol Burnett is?


Yes the first celebrity to appear on Sesame Street. DO you watch Game of Thrones?


Yes I do. Did you know the great great great grandson of Charles Dickens plays in it?


Yeah that is Harry Lloyd who plays Viserys


Yeah and also Chaplin;s granddaughter plays in it as well


Yes that is the actress that plays Talisa Maegyr in the show


Yeah. Arya seems to become a very popular name for babies now


Yes and it is all because of the use of the name in the show


Yeah. Have you heard of the show Game of LIons on Nat Geo?


Yeah it involves lions instead of actors, so cool. Nice chat


I know that Pixar has a room just for celebrities?


Yeah heard of that but it sounds a bit unfair though


I agree. DId you know Robin Williams was the voice of Aladdin?


Yes and that is how that trend of celebrities doing voice started


Yeah. Do you know who is the highest paid celebrity?


Yes that would be, believe it or not, LeBron James


Yes he makes more than Judge Judy and she makes $123 000 per episode


Yes that is a lot . DO you know how a chef in Ethiopia plans to combat hunger?


Yes he thiks that we should just eat more diverse foods


I do go to the arts. I live in chicago and broadway in chicago is common for me to see.


Dance is quite popular and has a long history, the first to moonwalk did it in 1955.


Wow. I did not know that. I thought it was michael jackson.


And there was probably someone else before, it just was not recorded. But now everything is recorded, even when Mr. Rogers learned how to breakdance.


Or when Tupac learned ballet in high school. I had no idea!


Now with Facebook, all those moments are recorded. For better or worst,  1/3 of all divorce filings  in 2011 contained the word FaceBook.


Yeah I am on it but I rarely post anything except  when I take a good photo. It is very popular, there is more people on Facebook than there was on Earth 200 years ago.


Wow, that's a strange fact! I tried to give it up as my new years resolution but I need it for work so I cannot give it up all the way. I am doing well and do not miss it.


Yeah, it is easy to give up posting, but leaving Facebook altogether is getting tougher, it is more and more integrated in many aspects of our life, 30 % of adults use it as a news source.


Wow, that's too much for news... Nice chatting with you


I like television ? Have you ever seen a 3 D program on the television ?


I watched a movie with it a while back at a family members' home but not recently. Have you?


Never, how does this work? do you have to wear glasses like in a movie ?


Yes it is like that. I got annoyed with it because of the glasses. I see there is a virtual reality option with basketball games now too.


I don't watch sports, I like arts, but I don't like dance, do you like to see a dance performance ?


Hello, do you know who Dennis Rodman is?


I agree, I wonder how old Kim Jong is though, thats a fact thats not available on Google.


Again, that is part of the "official" N.K. story of Kim.  I found it extremely humorous that Rodman gave Kim a copy of Trumps book "The Art of the Deal" during his 2017 trip to N.K.  Do you think Kim used the ideas in the book when he met with Trump during the Singapore summit?


Yeah I heard about that I think it was about the time that college student was released, maybe Rodman had something to do with it?


If he did, then his "basketball diplomacy" was a total flop.  Warmbier was essentially barely alive and brain dead when he was medically evacuated.  It seems like Rodman cannot gracefully give up the spotlight - he may have an infatuation with being perceived as nationally / internationally significant.  Rodman may have a permanent place in NBA history, but I don't see him as a diplomat.


Thats sad, I feel terrible for his family, I  wouldnt be friends with someone like that, returning a poor kid in those conditions feels evil.


I agree.  N.K. seems to take an extortionist approach with dealing with anyone other than the Communist nations (mainly China) that keep it afloat.  Considering how they consider U.S. an evil, I am surprised with their love of basketball and the NBA.  It apparently started with Kim's father, Kim Jong Il.


That is surprising and a great point another surprising fact about North Korea is that they actually have theme parks, I wonder it they are any good.


I am too, but its unlikely anyone will visit them soon.  Apparently Kim Jong Un ordered that they all be renovated.  I guess he wants to make sure his "fatherly image" is on display at each.


I know I wouldnt visit that park, I would be afraid


You are welcomed in N.K. if you are a basketball player.  I was trying to think of NBA players that went to N.K. with Rodman.  I couldn't.  I'm glad that real stars like Michael Jordan, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and others were wise enough to stay out of this diplomatic nightmare.


Yes, I remember when he played for the Chicago Bulls.  he had a rough "street-style" game.  Also known for multi-color hair, tats, and more piercings than I could count.


I agree, I wouldnt take my chances though and Rodman might find himself betrayed one of these days.


No, just followed the Bulls when I lived and ChiTown and Michael Jordan was king.  Rodman was in some way then and now comic relief.  What do you think about his infatuation with N. Korea?


I think that he's entitled to his opinion after all he is one of the few to know both Trump and Kim Jong, I heard he's been to North Korea a couple of times so there must be a reason behind his infatuation


Apparently basketball is big in N.K., although Kim Jong Un does not necessarily have the physique for basketball.  N.K. basketball rules differ from the NBA.  For example, a short outside the 3 point line is worth 4 points if its all net.


I heard a team of North Korean basketball was set so I agree, it seems like Kim Jong likes the game a lot


Apparently so, but with Kim it is hard to tell fact from fiction.  Per the "official" story, Kim learned to drive at 3.  Seems a bit outrageous.   Don't you find it a serious laugh that he was voted sexiest man alive by Onion?


That seems unreal, I think that is fake, and it doesnt surprise me


Well Rodman thinks he can be the bridge between Trump and Kim.  Rodman knows Trump from his "Apprentice" days and considers Kim a friend.  But how can Rodman be friends with Kim?


well maybe if I start playing I will get really smart like him lol. Pink Floyd was great also. Their guitarist did good things also


Yeah I love Pink Floyd. They're so good, so is Van Halen too, I can't believe that Eddie Van Halen actually set speakers on fire while he was doing a solo


For sure, maybe one day I could shred the guitar and be entertainment for many people


You definitely should learn, then you should get a houseboat like Pink Floyd to record your songs LOL


That is great, or Bill Nye the science guy. He got his start winning a steve martin look alike contest!


That's really impressive! I can definitely see him as Steve Martin actually, what do you think about the Nintendo Entertainment System by the way


For sure, I loved nintendo growing up, you?


I always love playing it. I just never noticed it only could put up 54 colors LOL but that never bothered me


For sure, think about how far graphics have come from then


Yep, that system is very well-loved, they only stopped making it in 2003 which means that lasted for almost 18 years or so


Yes I like jazz music. I was sad that Coco Schumann died, he was a great jazz guitarist


for sure! Good chatting with you. Have fun playing nintendo!


for sure, he will be missed. I liked him a lot also. Clint Eastwood would miss him too, he loves jazz


Yes he always puts Jazz end of the movies that he makes, and even scored some specifically for those movies like the movie Million Dollar Baby


I did not notice that, you are right! I will have to check that out next film I watch!


Yes you should! You should also check out the Pakistani Jazz Orchestra, they are climbing the charts as we speak!


i would never have guessed that. Do you play any instruments?


Yes I play the piano actually. But I have a guitar I'm just not very good I know what about you?


I have a guitar too, trying to teach myself how to play. Brian may played so well for Queen.


Yes Not only was he really smart, he had a PhD in astrophysics and also could play the guitar by using coins for guitar picks


Hi, what is your opinion about the government?


hmmm I mostly listen to music on the radio.  But I guess they have some morning discussions between them in the morning that I like too.  What kind of music do you listen to?  I learned that in Canada they have to play 40% canadian music.


What kind of music do you listen to?  I hear there is station that you can hear old classic dramas for free.  If you like that sort of thing.  I guess it is kinda like an audio book lol


The Goon Show was a British radio comedy program.


Hello,  I guess it depends on what aspect of the government you are referring to.  I read recently that Nevada is mostly owned by the government.


Okay, thank you very much for chat with me.


I think The United States government owns 47 percent of all land in the West. ... Utah and Nevada, the majority of land is owned by the federal government. Is it right?


That is interesting.  I did not know that.


The federal government owns more land in Nevada than any other state. Here's which counties in Nevada the government owns the most land.


I see.  I read some interesting facts about other governments too.  Someone impersonated a government official and sold the eiffel tower twice!


That is crazy lol how does someone even go about getting the official papers


looks like the norwegian government donated 1 billion dollars to save the amazon rainforest.  that was nice of them.


Hello how are you doing over there on that side of the internet?


I figured it would be more like 1 percent. who are these people? who read these dry, long ToS? amazing.


Yeah, good for them! I just read that some woman won $10,000 for finding a loophole or something in her insurance documents. So I guess sometimes it pays to read those documents! It's also good to know what you're getting yourself into.


Yes, there was a guy who changed the terms of his credit card. he stung the company, went to court, and won! Yay.


Wow, that's amazing! What is your opinion on artificial intelligence (AI)? I think it's kind of scary to think of robots having this much control in our society these days.


I think it will have more power than people believe. it will change the way we work, the way we relate to each other.


Exactly. And it will put a ton of people out of work. It would probably create many more jobs for engineering and computer science, though. We would need to program the AI. Maybe it would encourage people to get more education?


Some people will prosper. many will not. many jobs will disappear. basic guaranteed income will be a necessity.


Exactly! I wonder if jobs will eventually be considered a human right. Maybe with increased AI we'll still need people to do the physical labor like build infrastructure or even build the machines.


the job market will change, but people will not get skills fast enough. people cannot adapt as fast as AI. Anyway, great chat!


Yes! I really hope people can catch up and get the great practical skills they need to get and keep jobs even with AI.


I'm good! Do you watch videos on Youtube or elsewhere? Apparently it's very easy to fake videos now/


Yes, the world will need to change! Have a good night!


Thank, you too! Hope we keep our jobs haha


Yes, i guess it is. Have you ever faked a video?


I have never! Not only because I think that's pretty immoral, but because I would have absolutely no idea how to do it haha. I am not good with technology really. Have you?


I have never faked a video, but then again, how much money is there in it? LOL I guess people do things for notoriety or cash. How much do they make, I wonder?


I have no idea. But there are so many ways to make money on the internet. Did you know that Neopets was the 4th most trafficked site online? It was even above Google, which was 8th!


Neopets? They did not make fake videos, did they? Google was eighth? Hm.


They didn't, they were like Webkinz I think. They were like online virtual pets that you played with and I think you had to buy them. But yeah, I wonder how many people out there make fake videos.


I swear that I never have. Really. Never. I swear. Do you read the terms of service for internet stuff?


I almost never do! And when I do online surveys, I rarely read the informed consent document. I skim it. Only 7% read those terms and conditions in their entirety--did you know that?


The president's guest house is larger than the White House. I'm amazed that Trump can stand the indignity of the situation. He might have to add a few stories to the White House while he lives there. Or maybe rent out the guest house to pay for the shutdown.


Lol, he may have to. I wonder if the president has a funny nickname like how the president of Zimbabwe does, he's actually called President Banana, do you think the vice president is referred to as Plantain?


What is Trump's nickname? Until 1805, the runner up in a presidential election automatically became VP. I think this system should make a comeback. The entertainment value would be outstanding for the public. Not much is getting done in government anyway.


Those are good guesses, I have yet to see reporters refer him as that. I think he might even respond to those reporters too. Are you familiar with the Geneva Conventions? I wonder why government employees are protected from being prosecuted for violating that. Seems risky granting anyone that kind of immunity.


They don't want the problems to come back to them. Employees that are immune might not blow the whistle on a bad operation because they don't have to worry about covering their butts.


So maybe it's a good thing then that they're protected from violating the Geneva Conventions. At least we're getting with the times, but especially George W. Bush who had solar panels installed on the white house.


The whole place seems behind the curve technologically.  Reagan had them taken off. I wonder why Clinton didn't put them on. And using floppy disks? I wonder if they have laser printers yet.


Haha, yeah, do they even sell floppy disks anymore? If it's for security purposes, then I guess citizens should be really worried about data and security breaches!


The next war will center around technology and cryptowar. Stay secure! I enjoyed chatting with you! Have a great day!


Hi! I am doing great and just finished catching up on the news, how about you?


I'm pretty good, thanks. Let's talk about the government. Did you know that in 2008 the government of Norway donated $1 billion to help save the Amazon rainforest? I wish the US would do something along the same lines.


That's very commendable of Norway to do that, it's sad to think how some people don't believe in the changing climates or at least want to preserve natural resources especially when you have noble countries like Norway already setting the precedent.


A man in France, impersonating a government official, managed to sell the Eiffel Tower. I wonder if I could sell the American public a border wall.


You probably could and like the man, you could get away with it at least twice! But it's things like that which goes to show how many loopholes there are that need to be patched up, just like how it took the secret service four days to realize that bullets had struck the white house in 2011.


Yeah, they're a little slow on the uptake there. Here is some irony: Wikileaks published the government's plans to destroy Wikileaks. I think that Wikileaks is going to thumb its nose at governments for many years to come.


Yeah, that is pretty ironic. Still pretty great that we don't live in an absolute state of authority like some countries do.


Trump is not one of the top three richest presidents, but maybe he can be one of the top pop stars in office. The president of Indonesia has released 3 pop albums while in office. Maybe Trump can get four albums out, if he gets re-elected, that is.


Haha, he definitely be on the top of that list! Do you know who the top three richest presidents are? If Trump doesn't get four albums out, do you think he would shut down the government or mandate all the schools to play it instead of the national anthem?


Really? I never thought 3rd Rock was funny. I preferred Friends and Seinfeld, though I know 3rd rock beat them for the Golden Globe in 1997


I liked those shows too and they were better than 3rd rock. I did see friends the other day and it did not hold up. It was bad.


I did, when the show was Chapelle's show. Do you watch it?


I do not watch it. CN has had over 100 shows cancelled!


That seems like a lot. I wonder how many hetwork shows have had canceled?


I prefer to listen to music than to watch tv. Matthew Bellamy has the record for most smashed guitars on tour.


what a waste! I hope he has a guitar deal. Jazz trumpeters grew goatees for comfort...


Ah, always thought it was just the style. Did you know Queen's guitarist has a PhD in astrophysics? I guess he had a backup plan!


That's a pretty good backup plan! Eddie Van halen was on Beat it? I had no clue!


And he set the studio speakers on fire! Oops!


Yes, he was involved in a musical version of Beetlejuice. Have you watched Beetlejuice?


I have but not in a long time. Scared the heck out of me when I first saw it. Have you seen it?


Oh, man! I was about to say that! I watched it when I was younger. I think it would still creep me out.


I know. Bill Murray thinks Kung Fu Hustle is the best comedy today. I think he may be pulling our leg...


I don't think I've watched that! I have watched Green Lantern. I did not know that originally that was supposed to be a Jack Black comedy!


I liked that movie but I know it can crushed. I thought it was fun. I also wasn't expecting much...


Did you ever watch 3rd rock from the sun?


I did. I loved that show. Hated French Stewart though...


That is true. Very unprofessional here. Although I am a modest dresser and some feel that's inappropriate. I would like working in Hawaii though! Hawaiian shirts are comfortable!


Same here! Not only are they comfortable but in Hawaiian climates, I think a suit and tie might be a little to sweaty and hot!


Amen. At Billy mays funeral, they wore blue shirts and khakis. How mice to honor him like that!


Yeah! That is a great gesture especially to lighten up the mood a bit. Did you know unicef will donate a day of clean water to a child in need for every minute you don't use your cell phone? I think I am a bit of a phone addict.


That's pretty cool of them! I'm lucky there. I live in a very rural area where I have no cell service! I've read there are telephone lines under the ocean!


Then you may have donated lots of clean water! Telephone lines under the ocean, I wonder if that's the foundation for 5G service?


No idea, but i would love to talk to someone who did it! Very interesting. Did you know that an I phone has more computing power the the US nuclear ICBM deterrent?


That is a lot of computer power wonder if they use the same technology found in space shuttle's where the computer runs on 1mb of ram.


that would be cool! I heard the Russians made a computer that runs on water too!


What?! I need one of those computers, I'm so clumsy, always spilling water on my electronics!


Hi! No I didn't read Mrs. Manners, what is it about?


Alot of people do! Did you know if you smoke near an apple computer it voids the warranty?


She gives advice to people about situations they face.  She says don't talk politics at work!


Oh! I can attest to that advice it creates so much unnecessary drama, my boss loves to talk about politics and I always just listen and clench my fingers at the edge of my seat even though I disagree with him.


I know how that is. I wont talk religion either. That's a huge no no!


Yes! I stay far far away from controversial topics as well! Have you ever had a bad experience?


Oh yes, I had a coworker who was quite aggressive on how he felt about politics and religion. I worked with him for 7 years. You?


Oh my goodness! I understand what you mean, yes I have as well, it's my boss who is very vocal about politics and religion and sometimes I fear he oversteps his boundaries in those areas. I just listen and don't say anything. What do you do in those situation or what would Miss Manners do


Mrs. Manners believes like we do. Stay quiet. It's very inappropriate to discuss things like that at work. It can also be a form of bullying!


It is a form of bullying! I feel like cultural differences fall within a gray area though, like in China, the fashion involves layering as many shirts as you can and popping collars, I think in American culture, that would be considered unprofessional.


I am sure that those shoes are also much, much more expensive to manufacture although trying them on would be a pretty neat experience


They probably smell bad because they're so old, we should put dry tea bags inside of them because that will absorb the odor LOL


I do not think that is the best idea..... It would probably damage the shoes. Maybe spraying it with bottle of febreeze would be better...


Speaking of clothes, what do you think about shirts? Did you know that you can wear a necktie under the collar with a dress shirt? I do that for work


I occasionally do that. The pallbearers wore blue shirts and khaki pants to billy mays funeral. Disrespectful much?


Haha that is either very disrespectful or very respectful LOL. I wish I lived in Hawaii though, you can wear an Aloha shirt instead of a suit and tie there


That is probably because it is much warmer there. Nevertheless, I also wish that I could show up to work in a random t-shirt!


Yep I agree with you! I think it's cool that the polo shirt was not invented by a polo player, but was actually invented by a tennis player, very interesting


I wonder why it was called the polo shirt then, shouldn't it be called the 'tennis shirt'? Although that does sound quite weird


Yes I think Polo sounds better haha. Also interesting that the man who invented that shirt was nicknamed the crocodile and that's why polo shirts have that crocodile logo on them


Yes I know a lot about clothing actually. In fact I'm wearing some right now LOL what about you


Ah. China's cultural revolution gang revolved around layering as many shirts as humanly possible


I wonder what that looked like! are you aware of the difference between a button up and a button down shirt?


I know a decent amount although I do not care the most about fashion. Did you know that Apple had a clothing line back in 1986?


No I didn't know that. I wonder what those clothes look like? They're probably very colorful like the pilgrims original clothes, not the black clothes that they wore for special occasions


I wonder what apples clothing line looked like too. And speaking of Pilgrims, I thought that it was the exact opposite as what you said. I guess it is just me.


A lot of things are the opposite of what you would think. Like how ripcurl says on their clothes that they are made in China when in fact they are made in North Korea


I am not suprised that they tried to keep that a secret. I do not think anyone would buy something that was made in North Korea!


Nope I definitely would not! I also wouldn't buy clothes from unclaimed baggage, there's a store in Alabama that actually sells that stuff


Really? I would not trust that store. Professional Ballet dancers can go through 4 pairs of pointe shoes in a week!


That is impressive! How often do you wear shoes by the way? I want to try on the shoes that are 5000 years old and actually perform better than current shoes


Hi there! Not sure about you but I like Presidential facts. Did you know the top three wealthiest presidents in American history were JFK, Washington, and Jefferson.


I agree they never would. Our planet does need that type of chaos. Hard to believe five planets are visible to the naked eye.


If you have 20/20 vision you can actually see Uranus naked eye as well from a dark sky, so 6. Cool you're into astronomy too.  Uranus is weird how it rotates on it's side so north is not up there.


I never knew that. Planet Venus does not tilt so it has has no seasons.


Yeah a day on Venus is longer then a year! If Jupiter did not outshine them you could actually see the 4 Galilean moons naked eye as well. I can't imagine what it was like for Galileo to turn his primitive telescope on Jupiter.


That's crazy! There's a planet where shards of glass precipitate sideways at 4500 mph in 2000 degree Fahrenheit weather.


Yes it really is. We have learned a lot thanks to the Kepler telescope. I hope nasa launches another one soon.


Oh, I have not heard of a Kelper telescope. What is that all about?


It was a telescope launched to discover planets orbiting other stars. It discovered many different planets since it was working from space and did not have to contend with earths atmosphere but it is no longer functioning.


Oh, that is cool. It was nice chatting with you!


Hi, that is really surprising that Trump is not among them. I guess this is adjusted for inflation? I know the presidents guest house is larger then the white house. I learned that on a tour but never actually went in the guest house.


I said the same. Did you know the guest house of the president is bigger than the white house?


OMG it came through slow sorry! silly me! Ddi you know the first president of Zimbabwe was called president banana?


That's okay. No I didn't! That's funny but somehow I doubt people would make fun of him.


I would say so!!  How do you like the idea that the president of Indonesia has released 3 pop albums while in office!


I wonder if they are any good. I guess he wouldn't have had time to tour them. I think the most interesting presidential fact is that the runner up in the US used to become vice president.


I wondered the same! I would hate that to happen. Sometimes the candidate choices are horrible!


Yeah. I guess that's why they stopped doing it back in 1805. Nowadays the runner up would never get along with the winner.


I bet we could use them to study diseases related to humans then.


I bet you're right. Freshwater fish drink through their skin via osmosis.


That is really interesting. So what do you think about judge judy being the second highest paid celebrity behind lebron james?


I have heard that she makes over $100k per episode. It seems over-the-top to me.


Hey if she can make that much I dont blame her for taking it. Lol. I guess pixar has a special room that is secret for celebrities.


That would be fun to see. Do you remember the show Sesame Street? The first celebrity to ever appear on SS was Carol Burnett.


I remember watching sesame street. I dont remember her being on it though. I guess I wsa pretty little though.


It's hard to believe she was the fist celeb. appearance. Speaking of firsts, The first celeb. to voice an animated film was Robin Williams.


Yeah I think his role as the genie in alladin kind of started that trend. He was awesome in that role.


I agree. He was very talented. It was nice chatting with you today. Have a good day.


Good morning! I am good. Just checking out all the place to eat in Vegas.


You have a great day as well. Nice chat. Bye.


I bet there are some nice places out there.


Yes, some offer up immense 10 egg omelets and pancakes as big as hubcaps, most places on the strip.


Thats awesome. So do you like fish at all?


I do. They are so unique. It's cool that saltwater fish drink through their moths.


It is cool. The black swallower fish can eat prey ten times its own weight and twice its own length.


That is incredible! The only fish without a neck is a seahorse.


I think the seahorse is the only fish with a neck. Lol. I heard about a breed of jellyfish that is immortal.


Kind of males me wish to be a jellyfish! Zebra fish carry counterparts to human disease in 84% of their genes.


Lol sounds like a smart guy.  Apparently,  Jon Hamm taught drama class at his old high school.


I did not know that.  What I find interesting is that another British actor, Hugh Laurie is the highest paid TV drama actor at $ 700 thousand per episode for House.  That's unreal!!


I did not watch it that often, but he played an eccentric diagnostician that took only the most difficult cases.   As a side note, I also like old radio dramas, like Orson Wells War of the Worlds.  Did you know you can listen to old radio dramas online?


Yeah I read about that somewhere,  that is pretty cool,  not sure who would listen to that though lol


I am not much into going to movie theaters, considering I live about 40 miles from the nearest one.  Did you have an opportunity to see the Ted Kennedy drama, Chappaquiddick?


hmmm never heard of it.  Do you use IMDB?


I have from time to time, but I prefer the rating on Rotten Tomatoes.  Did you know that Amazon acquired IMDb?


Yeah I did.  I use it a lot I think it is fantastic,  it has so much more than reviews it has actors history and trivia and know facts and history and all the tv or movies the actor has been on before.  It is really helpful.


I do find the trivia on IMDb interesting.  Did you know Shawshank Redemption is the highest rated film on IMBb, but was a financial wash, making only 3 million more than budget?


Since we do not have a pro team in my state, I tend to follow my local collegiate teams.  But, I do play (not well) on an over 50s recreational league team.


No I didnt that is interesting.  Its been great talking to you,  have a good one.


Oh wow,  thats cool!  Did you know baseball managers wear uniforms because he can play if needed?


I did not know that.  I would be curious as to when that actually last happened since the managers are typically much older than the line players?  What I also find interesting about baseball is the collectables market.  Did you know that someone found $3 mill in baseball cards in his grandfathers attic?


Yeah,  that is pretty amazing!  what a find!


What I find interesting is that baseball is really big in Japan.  That might explain the import of Japanese players into the Major Leagues!  I had a junior high school teacher was not quite MLB material, but he did go play in Japan before returning to the US.


That is awesome!  Kickball is called soccer-baseball in Canada.  lol


What I sometimes find most entertaining about baseball is the drama between the coaches / managers and the umpires.  It adds another dimension to the baseball you do not get in other sports.  Are you into drama shows, either live, TV or movie?


Yeah I love drama shows,  how about yourself?


I tend to favor British TV / Movies.  We are really big into special effects and computer graphics.  The British shows rely more on strong acting.  Did you know that British actor Michael Caine became an actor because all of the prettiest girls were in drama class?


hi how are you doing over there on that side of the internets


that is cute. i wondered why they pickt such a strange name for a robot but now i see. but he dint have a mustache.


You're right, I don't think he did! Ha! I'd like to see Wall-E with factual hair like Kanye West's. I bet that'd be funny. Speaking of Kanye, you know he believes aids is man made?


yes Kanye is an oddball when it comes to science.


That is true. But he does do cool stuff every now again like the time he gave his mic to a fan in a wheelchair at one of his concerts. That was nice of him!


i think that he undersatnds entertainment good but he doesnt have the knowledge for science.


True. I loved how he did an SNL skit where he mocked himself interrupting award shows ironically two years before he interrupted Taylor Swift at an award show. Ha!


he knew the depths of his depravity and told the whole world first. i think that is honest of him


Agreed. Since we're on the subject of rap, are you a fan of Tupac. I'm so glad his music is in the library of Congress of cultural significance. He was a talented musician!


Tupac is not my cup of tea but the man could rap the street an urban lullaby. Anyway, great chat!


Indeed he could! I also think Eminem can as well. I'm glad he became a rapper instead of becoming a comic book artist as he wanted to do growing up. Oh what might have been!


Hi! Hope you're doing well! So are you a fan of The Walt Disney Company? One of my favorite characters is Minnie Mouse and I was surprised to recently find out her name is short for Minerva Mouse!


he could still DO that! the man has got years in front of him and tales of the street to tell. Have a good one!


So true. And speaking of Eminem, it's hilarious the judge who was trying a suit against Eminem back in 2001 delivered her ruling in the form of a rap. Glad some judges still have a sense of humor. Ha! Well it was great chatting with you! Take care!


You have a good evening as well. I'm off to watch the Rugrats movie to see if I recognize Busta Rhymes' voice in it as the Reptar wagon. Ha! Take care!


i like disney though i havent watched a disney film in a while. i do like minnie. she is cute as the dickens.


Well there's actually a hidden subculture dedicated to finding hidden Mickey mouse images in all things Disney, you should definitely check out!


i guess if you find a mickey, you win something? if i find one, i guess i should tell others and not keep it secret.


That's a good point! Ha! Unless they change the locations up!  Are you also a fan of Bill Nye? He actually served as a science consultant on Flubber, believe it or not!


i guess he knows a bit about the science of hypothetical substances. he is an entertaining fellow for sure.


Indeed he is! I also think it's amazing that Big Hero 6 was rendered with a 55,000 core supercomputer. That is amazing!


that is astonishing. i wonder how many processors theyll need for big hero 7. i dint see the other big hero movies.


Probably a lot more than 55,000. Ha! Did you ever see Wall-E? If so, the name is actually a tip of the hat to Walter Elias Disney himself!


Hello! How are you doing today? I just read some very interesting things I would like to talk about


The real question is do you know how much it was sold for?


Unfortunately I do not know that information. But I will have to look it up sometime to find out.


Yeah that would be really interesting to know. I have heard Wikileaks published the government's plans to destroy wikileaks and the goverment got mad.


I wonder what the plan was. Oh the good ole government and their secrets. I guess they don't like it when someone tells on them for doing something bad.


Yeah. Today 86% of the land in nevada is owned by the us government. I wonder what they are hiding out there?


I'm sure they are hiding a ton of stuff.  If a government employee were to do something illegal and violate the Geneva Convention did you know there are laws to keep them from being prosecuted.


No I have never heard that but that is kinda odd if you think about it lol.  I have however heard that In 2008 the norwegian government donated $1bn to help save the amazon rainforest.


I wonder what they did with that billion dollars? Seems like a lot of money to make sure some trees don't get cut down.


Yeah I think a bunch of people take a piece before the rainforest gets its cut. The whole too many cooks thing.


Yeah not too surprising. That's how the government normally works.


I am doing great. I also read some interesting things. Especially about radios. I still have a hard time fathoming how they can transmit data through the air but it seems very interesting to me.


Well. I think I am going to head out here. It was very nice chatting with you.


Well radios are very interesting! I have heard that Jupiter has radio storms so strong that they can be picked up and heard by an am radio.


That's bananas. I will have to try and see if I can pick up that frequency. And apparently Canadian radios have to play 40% Canadian music. I'm not even sure if I know what Canadian music is?


Im not sure if i do either lol. I have heard that they HAVE to put a certain amount of Canadian entertainment by law. That goes for the TVs and Movies too.


Oh wow. That's a pretty weird law. I'm guessing if there wasn't a law then maybe people wouldn't watch that much Canadian entertainment. Haha.


Yeah lol. I remember my dad told me that Soldiers in wwii made simple radios using a razorblade and pencil as the diode.


Wow. i guess they had to use what they had back then. Speaking of WWII, did you know that someone in France sold the Eiffel Tower not once but twice.


No I had no idea. I wonder why they would sell it?


Well, He was a conman apparently. He was impersonating a government official and then just keeping the proceeds from the sale. It's pretty crazy what people think of.


Yeah, I know a lot about it. The first President of Zimbabwe last name was Banana.


Hahha that's great!  The president of Indonesia released 3 pop albums while in office.


I don't know...I'm curious to find out.  The US presidents guest house is larger than the White House.  I wonder if president Banana ever stayed there?  If he had met the president of Indonesia he might have inspired a song.  "Do the Banana" dance. lol


Is it really? I don't if it actually is, I've seen the White House in person. I don't believe it.


Supposedly it's a fact that it's bigger.  Maybe one of the wealthiest presidents who were JFK, Washington, and Jefferson helped pay for it.


Interesting, I wonder how Washington got so rich?


I'm not sure.  I think he got a lot of land and money offered to him when he became the general of the army during the revolutionary war.  I could be wrong though.  Up until 1805 the runner up in the US presidential elections automatically became vice president.  That wouldn't fly in this day and age.


Interesting, that could be. I heard Trump is actually the richest though, that's what his Wikipedia says.


Interesting.  I didn't think of him. Good catch!  On a side note and to end on something positve.  The Norwegian government donated 1 billions dollars to help save the Amazon rainforest.  That was pretty good to see don't you think?


That's a tough call.  I've seen them replace workers at my job so I'm not a fan from that aspect of it.  However a robot can debone a chicken with surgical precision!


Interesting, I wonder if they have an investment down there or something? Well nice chatting with you!


Yeah, I can understand that. I don't know about deboning a chicken.


I don't know if I would trust it.  lol  The US military uses an xbox360 controller to control one of their eod robots.  I don't even know what an eod robot is!  haha


I have no idea.  Robots can be controlled by using rat brains.  The robot will change personality depending on which brain is used.  That is creepy.


Interesting, I don't think that is true though. But I know that MJ wanted to build a 50 foot moon walking robot.


Wow.  That would be interesting.  What was he going to use it for?


I'm not sure, to roam the desert sands of las vegas I think. Weird.


That would have been a sight to see.  "Hey look kids...." lol  Changing subjects... Do you know much presidential history?


I don't shop for one particular brand unless it comes to work out clothing. For that I generally prefer Under Armour. Otherwise I go with fit and price as my criteria.


I get that.  I would be very interested to visit the store in Alabama that only sells clothing and items found in unclaimed baggage areas.


I don't know if I would want to buy someones laundry! I wonder how long it takes before they send the clothing there.


I'm not sure, but the price would probably be right.  They have no overhead, so everything for them is profit.  That is pretty smart.


It also helps reduce waste since that stuff would probably be thrown out if they did not resell it.


True.  I also didn't realize Apple has a clothing line.  I thought they were only into electronics or do you think that is a different company?


I believe that is the same company, a lot of companies have made other items. Nintendo used to make playing cards.


Oh really.  I didn't know that.  Speaking of Apple, do you like Apple products?  Do you have an Apple phone?


They are good too.  I was surprised to learn that an iphone had so much power.  Kind of scary.


No I am not.  They scare me, but maybe I should if they can burn more than 180 calories.


It's amazing how far technology has come!


I guess a horror marathon would be a good exercise plan at that rate!


For sure!  Do you know what a waterphone is?  I guess it is used to make the scary noises in horror movies.


I've never heard of that before, I would be curious to see what it looks like.


I think I'll look it up on Google later.  Maybe it looks like a regular telephone?


I wonder what the child actor's reaction to the movie The Shining was when he found out a lot later it was a horror movie?


I bet he was surprised.  I am curious to know how they were able to keep that from him.  I bet they had a lot of out of sequence filming.


I would also guess that any scene in which he was not acting in, he was far away from the set just being a normal kid.


I would think so too.  What is your favorite brand of clothing, or do you care as long as it fits?


Rock music is a form of popular music that originated as rock and roll in the US in the early 1950s


When a performance is done by a single musician, it's called a recital.


That's pretty neat, I've never heard of that. Did you know that Sonic the Hedgehog was originally supposed to be a member of a rock band?


Its very interesting ! Indoor concerts held in the largest venues are called arena concerts. Sometime its is very interesting to hear the song in the small area.


I like small concerts, it gives it that intimate feeling that you get nowhere else.


That's a long time. I heard Linkin Park played 324 concerts in 2001 following up the success of their debut album.


Reel big fish re-recorded all of the best of  album after losing the rights to their old record label.


That's cool, I bet it sold better than their originals.


Hybrid theory is the best-selling album of the century.


I didn't know that, it was a great album. Creed once had a concert that was so bad that four concert goers filed a lawsuit against the band.


I like rock music, especially Bon Jovi. It's hard to believe his career has lasted so long. I didn't know he was almost 60!


Yeah it is. Almost as shocking as two identical twins from Japan releasing a rap album when they turned 100.


The dark side of the moon was still one of the best selling albums of 2014


Nwa's straight was the first album reach platinum status its very amazing to hear. Which is your favourite live concert program ?


He loves his profession. He is a very creative and lovable person.


Yeah he is, he's sold over 100 million albums and can still fill arenas.


Bon jovi wanted people around him to be as happy and fit as he is. He's the lead singer, and looks amazingly youthful.


Yeah he does, he's played for Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton in the past, but he doesn't make political comments, which speaks highly.


Music doesn't discriminate; all are equal before it.


Yep that's what I love about it. DId you know that the state rock song of Oklahoma is "Do You Realize?" by The Flaming Lips?


It was released in 2002 . It reminds me of my olden days. It's really energetic. This song always feels magical.


I agree, they say that Whitesnake has had over 50 members throughout it's history. There's been so many that the list has it's own Wikipedia page.


Hello.  Did you read the articles about the comedian from Nannette, Netflix, and television as well?


I do! I find them a little easier to watch while I'm multitasking- more so than dramas.  Who's your favorite comedy actor?


I think Ed Helms is a good actor, he played in the Hangover movies.


Oh yeah- he was in horrible bosses, too, right?


Yeah he was, I loved those movies too. There is a genre called bromantic comedies, which the hangover and harold and kumar fall in.


That makes sense.  One of my from that genre ( I think) is I love you man!


Yeah I think I know what you are talking about. I like Bill Murray too.


Billy Murray is good, but honestly I haven't seen many of his movies. I think I saw Caddyshack many moons ago.


It's been a really long time I think since  he's been in  movie. I read somewhere he thinks kung fu hustle is the achievement of the modern age, in terms of comedy.


I have never seen that so maybe I am missing out.  Do you know if it's on Netflix? Maybe I will watch it tonight.


I'm not sure, it might be. You should watch the episode of the simpsons where bart isn't in the episode. I think the episode is Bart's Not Dead.


No, I haven't. I do enjoy watching Netflix though.


I do as well! I was surprised to learn that 20% of the bandwidth in north america between 9pm-12am is used on netflix- that's a lot higher than I thought.


Wow that is crazy. Youtube and Netflix make up half of the internet traffic in north america.


I believe that- mostly because my friends who have kids are always watching videos on YouTube and it keeps them entertained for hours


Same here! You remember Blockbuster right? Apparently they declined buying Netflix for 50 million and now Netflix is worth 2 BILLION!


Oh I remember Blockbuster- that could've been a dynamic take over to because to me, when Netflix first came out, the major drawback was that you had to wait for them to come in the mail.  I miss the employees choice section at Blockbuster!


I know, I forgot about Netflix sending movies and tv shows through the mail and now it is a huge company.


I honestly didn't even have my own Netflix subscription until too long ago- reading the article I had did make me want to go watch the Netflix special Nanette though.  I'm just glad I don't have to wait on the DVD


Yeah that is great thing. Do you enjoy comedy films?


Are you a Star Wars fan? I need to rewatch the OT and the prequels so I can watch the subsequent stuff for the first time and understand what's going on.


I never felt strongly about Chewbacca one way or the other TBH. But I've got to google a picture of that bat to see what it looks like!


I would like to see it as well. Did you know Chewbacca actually had a wife and two boys? That's pretty interesting!


I vaguely recall reading something in the Star Wars fictional universe where a young Han Solo stayed with Chewbacca and his mom in their home.


That's so weird, isn't it? Ha! Are you one of the fans who believes both r2d2 and Chewbacca were secret rebel agents? I kind of think it's an interesting theory.


I wish I knew enough about the background to have an opinion, but the last Star Wars I watched was Episode III, when it came out on video. I really need to rewatch to refresh my memory of it.


Same here! Like, I also had forgotten that before his companionship with Chewbacca, Hans Solo was an imperial lieutenant!


Yeah, I don't remember that at all. He definitely doesn't seem like the type.


Indeed he doesn't. But I've always liked Chewbacca because he reminded me of a giant dog. Ha! Speaking of dogs, I think it's cool that dogs, along with elephants, are the only animals that understand pointing!


I wouldn't be surprised if cats understood it but just didn't care, LOL.


Ha! No kidding. Speaking of dogs and cats, I like how Google prefers dogs over cats and even states in their code of conduct that they're a dog company! That is awesome!


Hi! Yes, I am a huge fan of Star Wars! I also loved how it was the first major movie to be dubbed in Navajo! I think that is so cool!


Yeah, that's a weird official policy for what's supposed to be a neutral search engine! Nice chatting with you.


Yeah, that's wild. I guess it takes a pretty small audience to pay for the translation work.


Agreed. Isn't it also funny James Earl Jones only spent two and half hours recording his lines for Darth Vader? I also can't believe he was only paid $7500! Geez, that's pocket change.


$7500 is amazingly low. I guess since Darth Vader was masked Jones could just record everything at once in the studio.


Agreed. Can you also believe that George Lucas' wife at the time, Marcia, won an academy award for her editing on Star Wars and yet George Lucas didn't win an academy award for directing. That is just downright unbelievable!


A lot of people think the OT was so much better than the prequels because of her influence.


Yeah it was because of her that so many major changes were made like Leia's good luck kiss, Obi Wan's death, etc. She was truly a big influence!


I remember thinking just about everything in the prequels' timeline was off, based on the mental version of the past the OT led us to construct. But I'd have to rewatch to nail it down.


Yeah I would have to watch it as well! So are you also a fan of Chewbacca? I love him. I think it's funny there's a bat species called the Chewbacca bat. That's hilarious!


Hello,  did you know that the sun is actually white?


I didnt know amazon owns IMDB, I use that all the time to look up movie info.


First books, now movies. They are controlling everything. There's sort of a 18th century-like moral panic about them.


Amazon is amazing.  I use a lot of their services.  Did you  know that amazon warehouse workers walk between 7 and 15 miles every day?


wow. but yeah...software, tvs, furniture, food, etc...they gotta cover a lot of ground.


I love their service audible too,  its so convenient since I drive a lot.


kindle is great. One cna read a lot faster. not speed reading fast like anne jones' 4700 words/min, but fast nonetheless


Thats is unbelievable,  that is way too many words lol


yeah, one wonders if you can keep a sense of creativity and critical analysis reading that fast


Yeah,  it doesnt seem like you can actually understand or process what the reading material is about.


yeah, you're like a lightening bolt, you may be 5x faster  but then you are gone


I did not know that. That's one more thing it has in common with Jeff Bezos.


lol right. I feel like our elementary teachers should have mentioned this at some point,  kinda feel dumb for drawing all those yellow suns.


Better than a yellow jeff bezos. I drew ligthening bolts red. i wonder if thats accurate


lol I do not know.  I hear the sun is only 1 billionth the size of the biggest star in our galaxy!  That is crazy!


It produces enough energy in 1 sec to meet our energy needs for 500K years. Some one lean to harvest this thing!


I know right,  solar panels arent enough!


you'd think bezos would take some time out of building clocks into mountains to figure this sun energy thing out.


I wonder what the significance is of putting it into a mountain lol I like that amazon has a contract with the post office to deliver on sundays.


judging from recent news, the amazon postman definitely rings twice. Bezos must feel as hot as a lightening bolt


Oh nice, yeah I like them. Did you know Linkin Park's Hybrid Theory is the best selling album of this century?


No, I did not. I'm not surprised though because i have the album.  I heard that the main singer committed suicide.


Yeah he did that was very unfortunate. And there are twins in Japan who released an album at the age of 100


And it was not just any album, but a rap album.  They apparently were up to date about their music preferences.


I guess so, keeping up with the times. How about reading, do you enjoy it?


I used to read many books when I was young.  I now spend too much time on social media now.  Is reading my friends' posts considered "reading" by your definition?


Unfortunately I do not think so but that is just my opinion. Did you know Churchill won the Nobel prize for literature


Pretty cool. Literature used to be an Olympic sport, I wonder why it is not anymore


To tell you the truth, I think that the Olympic should be for sports only.  It was included in the Olympic events from 1912 to 1952.


I do.  I use it at home and at work.  It's amazing that it can carry a vast range of information resources.


Yeah maybe that is why they discontinued it. Nice chatting with you :)


Yeah that is true. Do you know that the 3 lines on the menu in the apps is called?


A hamburger button?  I wonder how the people came with that name.


Yeah I wonder about that too really. Did you know there is 3g service in Everest?


I know.  I wonder if it is effective since most internet providers offer 5G now.


Yeah true, the internet is moving so fast nowadays. Do you ever read the terms of service when you buy stuff online?


No.  I know I'm supposed to.  How about you?  I heard that only 7% of people read the full terms.


Yeah to be honest I do not so I must not be in that percentage. Do you listen to music?


Yes, I do.  How about you?  I still buy albums instead of downloading songs online.


Hey there what do you think about the president? And who do you think the top three most wealthy presidents were?


That is interesting. Also I think it's weird that Nevada has a"none of these candidates"option when they vote, I think that could be used in other states as well, it would be useful


Wow, I wonder if we would ever have a President then or an inauguration. Lincoln was the first president to be photographer for his inauguration....with John Wilkes Booth in the photo!


Well that's very scary! Definitely a bad Omen, did you know that our top voter participation percentage has maxed out at about 63%, that seems really low to me, and that's over the last 100 years


I'd believe it, especially that a cat named Hank placed third in a Virginia Senate election. I'm not sure people take voting seriously.


No I don't think so. Especially since the taller candidate wins about 75% of the time, that's highly unlikely to be due to ideas, and instead is probably a factor of television showing the height difference


Well, he may not be tall but a dog beat two people for mayor. He served for 13 years.


Haha that's funny. I wonder what his daily routine consisted of? Speaking of Elections, did you hear that ancient Athens used to just use a lottery system? I could see how that would elect a dog LOL


In Oregon all elections are conducted by mail. I am so surprised at how different elections can be across the world!


That is interesting! do you go to any concerts by the way? They should have presidential election concerts haha


That would be great. Thanks for chatting. I learned a lot of cool new things!


I think the President is probably in the top 3 richest presidents along with Kennedy and maybe Bush. Am I right?


I did too, and I'm going to make sure to avoid a free concert lol they were sued for having really bad concerts actually


Well it's actually JFK, Washington, and also Jefferson. I wouldn't have predicted that, but I guess it makes sense if your accounting for inflation, have you heard about the president of Zimbabwe yet?


I do not know about the President of Zimbabwe. I do know in Guatemala close relative of former Presidents cannot run for President


Well the president of Zimbabwe, his name is actually president banana haha. I wonder if he has a vice president named plantain LOL, and also the president of Indonesia released three pop albums, I kind of want to listen to those haha


Wow! Presidents around the world are very interesting! Did you know that only one of our Presidents had a PhD, Woodrow Wilson.


No I didn't know that! We should have more presidents with phds, did you know that before 1905, the runner-up would become the vice president, so you would have had President Trump and Vice President Clinton today?


I did know that! It must have been hard to work with your opponent, perhaps even harder than losing the election while having the popular vote. That happened to 5 candidates for president.


Yeah that would be hard. I wonder if that would be more or less hard and making three pop albums while in office like the president of Indonesia did?


Seems difficult to me. Also hard is learning another language, that last president to speak a foreign language was FDR.


Hello. Would you pay 10$ a month for you tube music ?


yes it is sad. but I just download all my songs from you tube for free


do you use spotify at all? Did you know a band earned 20k from spotify for a silent album lol


yes but you need like 13745 plays just to make 7.25 a hour


I guess it depends on how many songs they had on there then,  to make 20 k lol


i started when the IPO took place back in 2004


did you know google maps calculates the traffic by how fast android phones are moving?


Instead of hiring people to mow their lawn they once used hundred of goats


Probably not,  I dont really need it lol I just listen to pandora mostly.


and I need to look up "baby" by JB just to see why people dont like it


Its a good music video,  i dont know why people dont like it.


it has been nice chatting with you. Enjoy you tube while is free


did you know youtube is the second largest search engine in the world?


Yes I use it every day since 2005 when it was first launched


I probably use it a lot too,  I look up how-to videos,  reviews,  movie trailers,  tips,  and snowboarding videos lol


I would like to check out blutube to see the law enforcement videos


I would have to check in to that. Do you like Spotify ?


I honestly have never used it,  I hear it has 4 million songs that have never been played though thats kinda sad.


I have an apple. Good thing I do not smoke otherwise I can void its warranty


Why would it void the warranty ? Computers don't have lungs.


I am assuming it is because it is a fire hazard


Are you sure ? Computers don't burn easily,  they are made to be hot because they consume so much power, Google uses 0.01 % of all worldwide electricity.


yeah that is amazing. a single google search also requires more computing power than sending armstrong ad other astronauts to the moon


They had weak computers at the time, but google has a good sense of humor about the moon, in the early versions of Google Moon,  pictures of cheese were used when you zoomed at the maximum.


haha that is funny. do you know how they calculate traffic?


No idea, they go outside and check for cars ?


actually they track android devices and see how fast they are moving


That is smart, but it is expected for a company founded by PhD. students.


I always use my computer, maybe too much.


yeah me too i think. the space shuttle uses one that runs on one mb of ram


In the 80s, 1 mb ram was really big. It would be the equivalent of 10 Gb of ram today.


yeah. did you know russians make a computer that runs on water


It is probably to cool them, they always produced a lot of heat even in the times of Ada Lovelace, the first programmer.


yeah that is true. did you know transhumans are trying to upload their minds to the commuter?


I would not surprised that it is a Google project, it is so big now.


yeah, we will have to wait and see I guess. do you have an apple or a PC?


I would need a nap! Us open quarterfinalist gael monfils beat the "roger federer of paddle tennis" after learning how to play just days earlier


Wow. Roger federer has been gifted two cows over his career for winning the 2003 wimbledon and the 2013 swiss open.


Seriously! I wonder who gave them to him? Super weird!


Us open quarterfinalist gael monfils beat the "roger federer of paddle tennis" after learning how to play just days earlier


Roger federer is the first living person in switzerland to be honored with an official stamp.


I would love a stamp with me on it! In 2016, roger federer suffered the biggest injury of his career when he stretched too far while drawing a bath for his daughters and tore a meniscus.


Haha. Figures! He has won 20 Grand Slam singles titles.


Ain't that the truth! He was in the top ten from 2002-2016 and then again in 2017.


Very well, thanks. Did you know The Nintendo entertainment system could display only 54 colors.


I think it was called Nintendo 54 at one point. That must be why. It was discontinued in Japan in 2003.


really! Nice...Bill nye "the science guy" got his break in entertainment by winning a steve martin lookalike contest.


He does look like him! Ronald Reagan got rejected for a movie because they didn't think he had a "presidential look"


The arrow through the head gave it away... Polo shirts were originally invented for tennis by famous player rene "the crocodile" lacoste and only later adopted by polo players


That's pretty cool. Speaking of tennis, only one man has ever won the US Open. That was in 1968.


I did not know that. Im going to have to look into that. They used a helicopter to dry the grass tennis courts for the 1969 us open


That was a great idea! The longest tennis match lasted 11 hours.


Have you seen the movie a star is born yet?


Oh I did! I am quite a fan of her actually I love her poker face song and her crazy artistic clothing


She is definitely an artist of her own. She once bought $1000 worth of pizza for fans waiting in line for her, what a nice gesture!


I did not know that! She really does love her fans though!


She was also on MTV's show "boiling points" before she was famous, I think that is interesting.


Wow what is that I have never even heard of it! You seem to know a lot of personal knowledge about her! that is awesome


It would be awesome if they somehow did a sequel to the movie.


I do not think that will happen. I am not sure how they could progress the story into that. What do you think it would look like?


I don't know what it would look like. I just liked the movie so much. Bradly Cooper played the part of a "washed up" boy so hard, which I thought would be challenging for him.


I know! He is so clean cut in real life that his ability to fill that roll caught me off guard!


I often wonder if there is truth behind stars having to take pills or alcohol to make it through a concert like in the movie.


I have. It was wonderful. Bradley Cooper did a wonderful job playing the part.


I think a lot of rock stars become overwhelmed with the fame. I can't imagine it is easy to have no privacy and so much demand on a person so I think it does happen a lot


It is not all that it is cracked up to be.


Yeah I think it is a harder life then people imagine


It is good that they show on the big screen that not even stars have a perfect life.


I enjoyed the part when they stopped in at the little nightclub.


What did you think of the drugs and alcohol in the opening scene


I thought that it was a great way to catch viewers attention and it also set the stage for what was to come.


What did you think of Lady Gaga in it? This was her first major picture


Lady Gaga did well. When she went onstage for the first performance, her voice was hard to ignore.


She does have an amazing voice. I really felt like their chemistry was good for this film as well


It was. It seemed like she was learning from him. Did you think that there were any choppy patches during the film?


I felt like her own backstory was rushed and not put together well


Lady Gaga's real name is Stefani, I did not know that.


Hi! I think it's crazy iPhones have more computing power than the entire US nuclear ICBM deterrent! That's almost unbelievable, isn't it?


And someone built a 16 bit computer using only basic Minecraft building blocks that worked. Now I wonder what that looked like!


Yeah shows how far we have come with technology.  Do you know what the top video game was in 1995?


I'm honestly not sure about that one. But what sounds like it could be a video game is transhumanists actually want to upload their minds to memory sticks and computers. That's a little scary!


That is very scary!  I think Johhny Depp was recently in a movie that was about that type of thing.


Really? I need to check it out, then! Speaking of movies, you know how they always show pilgrims wearing black? That's false as their clothes were actually colorful and they only wore black on special occasions!


That is very interesting!  I bet most people would never have guessed that.


Yeah, just as many people don't realize Apple had their own clothing line back in 1986! I'm glad they stuck with technology instead.


That is crazy, I never knew that.  I wonder what their clothing line would look like lol.


Maybe we can find some of their old clothes at that store in Alabama that only sells unclaimed airport baggage. Ha!


Right!  I bet you could find some really wild stuff there!
