NHL players lose 8 pounds a game.  Wow that's a great way to lose weight!


Wow that's crazy! I bet most of it is water weight.


It would have to be, right?  I didn't know lacrosse was one of Canada's national sports


Lacrosse is a fun sport. I used to play it in high school.


I really don't know anything about Lacrosse at all


I am good thank you. Did you know that Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's use of the drunk got the shot banned from college basketball for over 10 years?


Wow, no I didn't know that!  That would have made the game really boring to watch


Lol yes it would have! The inventor of basketball is the only losing coach in the university of Kansas's history


I guess just cause you invent something doesn't mean you're good at it.  I'll bet he didn't know how to recruit.


haha exactly! 39 of 50 states the highest paid employee is either a college football or basketball coach.


No wonder tuition is so high lol.  The Supreme Court has a court on its top floor called the highest court in the land


LOL. That's cool I didn't know that about the Supreme Court.


The New Zealand basketball team's nickname is the Tall Blacks


Wow that is crazy.  Speaking of which...it's illegal for kids 16 and under in South Korea to play video games past midnight.


Yeah I definitely would have gone to jail as a kid because I played video games past midnight lol. On a different topic though what do you think about planet Earth? Did you know that it's four times as dense as the sun


lol I didn't know that.  I know about 71% of the Earth is covered with water and the remaining 29% is land that consists of continents and islands.


Are this pretty incredible, I'm shocked that the magnetic field of the earth reverses every 200,000 thousand years, I wonder if it will reverse in our lifetime that would be scary


I hope not!  Earth will be virtually helium free by the end of the 21st century.


Pretty scary. speaking of scary, Google apparently uses about 0.01% of worldwide electricity, I think that is a lot for just one company


I'm sure they suck a lot of power.  A single google search requires more computing power than it took to send astronauts to the moon.


That's really crazy! It's also crazy that Google calls their new employees nooglers LOL I don't know what that means


lol I've never heard that.  That's funny because I call myself a googler when I'm googling at the office. lol  I can't believe I'ts been over 20 years since Google was founded in 1998.  Time flies.  It's been fun chatting with you!


Thanks it's been fun chatting with you as well! And keep in mind that next time you use Gmail, Google actually bought that domain name from Garfield lol they used to use gmail.com as their email domain at garfield.com


Hey there I do like video games. I especially like fortnite, have you ever played that game?


I had no idea!  That's interesting!  Have a good night!


I have't played that one.  I'm an old school gamer. lol  Did you know video games were initially called cathode ray tube amusement devices which were used by the military?


No I didn't but that doesn't sound very fun haha. Did you ever play the video game GoldenEye 64? I played that a lot back in the day, apparently eight out of the nine developers have never even worked on a game before creating that game


I did play that one. lol  That's interesting too!  Game designer Jann McGonigal calculated that as a planet we play 3 billion hours of video games a week.


That's a lot of time! I didn't spend anywhere near that much time back when Mortal Kombat first came out, but I did spend a lot on that game haha. That's the game that started the rating system and video games by the way


lol  Nice.  I remember that game too!  Stepen Fry did the narration for Little Big Planet, Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, and Harry Potter video games.  I'm not familiar with him.


No I'm not either. I'm glad he's getting a lot of work though. It's crazy that games today can actually make more money than a Hollywood movie, we've come a long way!


I agree!  Jim Hanks, Tom Hanks' brother, does the Woody's voice in video games and merchandise.  I've heard that voice in the merch. he sounds just like Tom.


Yeah they probably sound the same since their brothers haha. I also think it's wild that more games are banned in the country of Australia than China, you only hear about the Chinese government Banning things but never Australia


Hey did you hear that new song on the radio today?


Facebook is weird I heard you can't use the like button over in Germany because it's illegal.


That is very odd.  Iceland even decided to use Facebook to rewrite their constitution. That sounds risky.


Yeah I think I'm going to move to South Africa at least I can put a flame-thrower on my car there!


Wow, sounds impressive!  Did you know that McDonald's added their drive-thru to accomodate soldiers not allowed to leave their cars wearing their fatigues?


Of course I knew that but bet you didn't know the trunk of a car is called that because old cars use to have actual wooden trunks on the back.


How about those Caddy's?  The Cadillac was named after a French explorer Antoine de la mothe and he had founded Detroit!


Caddy's are cool but what about beating 90,000 people in the game Gran Turismo to become a professional race car driver?


I think that would be fun :)  On a tragic note, how sad it was that a girl who recognized gun violence in her neighborhood and wrote about it actually became a victim to it.


Yeah I heard about that she got killed by a stray bullet, it's awful man.


Her mother was so sad, she said that her chest felt like a boulder is smashing down on her heart.  What a wonderful girl her teen must have been.  So sad...


What is it called?  Did you know that there is a website that you can listen to thousands of episodes of classic radio drama free?


Yeah I will catch you later man going to go put money in the GoFundMe.


Closer by Halsey and yeah we have come a long way from soldiers making radios from razorblades and a pencil.


You are right, but that was ingenious!  Jupiter has radio storms really strong and you can hear them on am radio.


Even if you could hear them you'd still have to listen to canadian music in Canada because they require 40% of the music played there to be canadian.


Wow!  Do you go on Facebook?  They had a promotion where if you unfriend 10 people you get a free whopper.


I don't use Facebook too often but that Whopper sure sounds good on a ride home in my car.


Facebook is mostly blue because Zuckerburg is red-green colorblind


Didn't Myspace turn down an offer to buy Facebook back in 2005?


Yes, for $75 million I bet they regret that.


Hi, how are you? Do you play video games?


NY's area code is 212 because it was the shortest one to dial on a rotary phone. The only place to find rotary phones now is in a museum. The cables carrying all the data across the bottom of the oceans are less than 3 inches thick!


Oh wow! That's interesting for sure. Telephone have come a long way in just a few years, I remember the rotary dial phones and using phonebooth's lol seems like a lifetime ago. Just like iPhones, they have major computing power.


People spend a lot of time on their phones now. I wonder how effective UNICEFs program to get people off their cell phones has been.


I know! Everyone is always on their phones and it's kinda sad. I hope that UNICEF is getting clean water to those kids in need! Hopefully it is working.


If people can control themselves, I see little water going to the kids.Are you a fan of comedy?


The kids deserve fresh water, I hope it is working. I was just talking to someone on the phone about a comedy movie I saw recently, which is older but very funny. I love Jack Black! I guess he was originally going to be in The Green Lantern!


Jack Black as Green Lantern? I guess it would have to be a comedy. He has done a range of roles though.


He does, and it was originally supposed to be a comedy. But I guess someone had a better idea! I like older comedy like Saturday Night Live back when Bill Murray, Dan Akroid and John Belushi were one it. Do you like Comedy?


Comedy is a great genre. I think it's difficult to be funny. I like the fact that the programming language Python is named after Monty Python.


Comedy s the best, I agree. And wow, that is really interesting! I love Monty Python. I really like 3rd Rock from the Sun there for awhile but don't watch it much anymore.


Hi! yes I do! love them. Have you every tried virtual reality games?


Comedy is great when done right. Too often, it's done wrong. Comedy Central has canceled over 100 shows since 1989. Well, it's been nice chatting!


That's interesting! It has been great! Bye!


No, not really I tried some playstation games long ago. I never played FIFA, which is a game that has longevity.


I haven't tried virtual reality yet, seems like it would be very strange lol. But I hear they are fun.


The old headset units gave people headaches. The resolution was low. I would rather play the old-style games, like Grand Theft Auto


True! I love Grand Theft Auto, it has come a long way since it first came out. I liked how the original one could be popped into a cd player and it would play the soundtrack!


The game had great music. The PS has a lot of flexibility and power. The DoD build a supercomputer about of 1760 PS 3s. The cheaper solution chosen by the DoD! Surprising.


Wow, that's interesting! Playstations are used for so many things, like how the Ps3's are used to search for black holes, pretty crazy. Not surprising how popular they are seeing how the Ps 4 sold 80 million consoles in only 24 hours.....


Soon PSs will have the ability to do everything, maybe even be a smart phone. Do you know why New York has the area code 212?


I would not doubt that Playstations could eventually be used as smart phone, they do so many other things lol, I love my smart phone when I got a new one recently....I did not know that, I wonder why?


I was shocked to hear that Eminem had so many awards


It is reported that she is going to get a nice chunk of money for being on the show


I bet. They have to pay the celebrities a lot. Do you know how much?


WOW! That's a ton of money. I'm in the wrong business. Apparently it has gotten off to a rocky start.


They were worried that because Kelly Clarkson was on the voice that they wouldn't get the ratings


Yeah, was she on American Idol at one point?


yeah she was the winner of the first season


Oh Yeah! I forgot, do you know who else is going to be on other than her and Seacrest, or is that it?


luke bryan and lionel richie but they are not making as much as katy


I didn't even know Lionel Richie was still around. His daughter was on TV with Paris Hilton.


I'm not surprised, he has a lot of hits.


Thats right Nicole. They are paying him $10 Million for the show


Interesting! So she's on and not her father?


Yeah, he has made some good stuff. Did you know most of the deals on shark tank are never enacted?


No I didn't know that they have some pretty interesting people on the show


I've only seen it a few times, but it was good the few times I've seen it.


Have you ever watched the show American Idol, It is back on the air now on ABC


I've seen it. I stopped watching a long time ago though.


Katy Perry is one of the judges now so maybe it will be better


Interesting, has she had a hit recently?


Can you burn calories by watching snakes? Or handling them?


I'd burn the calories running the opposite direction.  My kids, however, seem to love them.  My young daughter is desperate for a pet snake.


Do you like your daughter? If not, you could get her the biggest snake out there. If you like her, probably get her a small snake.


It depends on the day and her mood.  I'd sooner be in New Zealand with their distinct lack of snakes.


New Zealand is very far away from everything. Not much going on there. Snakes usually like to be near the action.


I don't need any action, the lack of it is fine by me.  I'll just sit around and stay in touch using Facebook.


If the snakes are on facebook, then they can get to New Zealand virtually. And that's how it all starts. First the Internet, then international.


Sound like the beginnings of a horror movie.  Like Snakes on a Plane, now that was a horrific film!


That would be a great way to burn calories by using Facebook. Snakes on FB.


I'm pretty sure there are already snakes on Facebook, snakes might be a little too polite.


I have a Facebook account but rarely use it.  The more I hear about their privacy abuses the less inclined I feel to get back into it.


Yes, but what kind of snakes? I figure snakes that have the tech knowledge to use FB, and to get around the privacy problems, would be the most fearful creatures out there.


They sound more tech savvy than me, maybe I should get that pet for my daughter.


Please do. Remember, snakes are never as feral as children.


Wise words, I shall note that down for future use.  Have a good evening.


Facebook is opposed to privacy. There is no money in it. Most of us would do the same as them for the billions of dollars that have come their way.


True.  I'm sure Mark Zuckerberg doesn't lose sleep at night over my concerns.  i like the Burger King promotion where you get a whopper for unfriending people


BK pushes for animosity among people for the sake of empty calories. Not sure that I approve, but I would probably make friends just to break friendships for flame-broiled ecstasy.


If you're concerned about calories you could watch a horror movie, supposedly burns 180!


Me and my new "unfriends" could head to the BK for tasty burgers, then unburn the calories at the theater.


I'm not sure Bambi would burn enough, unless you're Stephen King of course.


Bambi was so traumatizing to King that he became a horror writer. He has not slain these demons, merely harnessed their power.


I'm typically not that bothered by horror movies, snakes, on the other hand, scare me.


I thought it was MJ. Did you know that Martial Artist Bruce Lee won a cha-cha contest in Hong Kong?


I had heard that he was a really good dancer.  I suppose martial arts and dance do kind of go hand in hand.


I would think so, fluidity and controll are both important to each. One of my daughters took ballet. She was big for her age so there would be a line of little girls with a giant at the end. She loved it though and continued for about 5 years.


Did you know that there are some ballet slippers that actually make drawings from the dancers' movements.  I would like to see that artwork.


That would be interesting. I am always amazed that they can do the pointe and balance on their toes like they do. Must be hard on the feet.


I have heard it is very painful.  I think I will stick with other forms of dance personally.  I always wanted to learn how to breakdance.  I figure if Mr. Rogers can learn, so can I.


I think I would break something if I tried that but I do like watching good break dancers do their routine.s


Well, there are so many other types you could choose from.  anyone can learn to dance some form.  If a parrot can do it, then anyone can.


At most I manage to shuffle my feet from side to side. Course, if I've been drinking I become a virtuoso at least until the next day when friends laugh at me.


Well even Emilia Clarke from Game of Thrones did the funky chicken and the robot dance in her audition tape.  You could try those dances.


Don't try to encourage me. I know my limitations. But even the repper Tupac was a dancer when he was young, ballet if you can imagine.


Wow, really?  That is impressive.  Well, I think you should try something.  It is a great way to relax and have fun.  Thanks for chatting with me, have a good day.


Yes me too. I've never been a big fan though there are many passages that we all have heard like Beethoven's 'Requiem for the Masses'.


I like some of his stuff.  Maybe more people should listen to classical music.  It can be very soothing.  They have shown it has even deterred crime.


Really? Well music does sooth the savage breast. It's amazing that so much classical music has liven on through the centuries. In art forms I prefer to watch dance, especially contemporary or interpretive dance as it used to be called.


I love dancing.  I love watching it, I love doing it.  There is so much sybolism in the movement.


I agree. I routinely watch 'So you think you can dance?' , a summer replacement show that has been on for several years now. Some of the dances they perform move me deeply.


I love that show.  It is neat they they have different styles of dance that can be categorized by the choreography and movements.


Yes. There are some I don't enjoy like Baliwood dancing but even those are worth watching. My favorite so far is when they had kids on the show. So much talent in such young performers.


Bollywood it quite unique.  I suppose it has importance to some cultures, but it isn't my favorite either.  Maybe they will come up with a new move on that show, like the moonwalk.  Speaking of, the first person to actually do the moonwalk was a tap dancer.


Hi.  I heard recently that there is a sound frequency that automatically causes fear in humans.  Isn't that odd?


It probably has.  The Greeks say there are two masks associated with drama and they are comedy and tragedy.


That is some contrast there.  Do you know there is a website where you can listen to tons of old radio dramas for free?


No I didn't know that but i would like to find out more about it.  I know from watching old movies that there are some good radio dramas out there.


Yeah I think there would be so many old gems in that pile of dramas that they have available.


Those were all done back in the day before cinematography took hold.  I think a chinese man started movies by using a wide angle lens and other things.


Yeah sounded like he had it pretty rough with all the racism back then as well.  But, sounded like a true pioneer.


True.  He didn't even become a legal citizen until 1943.


That is true, did you know that no women has ever been nominated for an oscar for cinematography?


I didn't know that.  I wonder if there are any women that work in the field to be nominated.


Yeah I don't think there are too many, but that still seems pretty harsh to me.


That is very odd, I wonder if militaries around the world use it someway.


Perhaps but there is a man that has been nominated 13 times and he's never won.


I wondered about that as well.  It would make sense if they did.  We as humans have other oddities too.  i mean, we can regrow a rib in 2 to 3 months time.


That is a very interesting fact, and it says that they grow equally as strong that quickly as well.


Do you like drama, such as television dramas?  I watch the show house.  The actor that plays the main character, house, on there earns $700,000 per episode! That is impressive.


Yeah I do, I'm not the biggest drama fan though.  That is impressive!, wow, he could film a season and retire!


He definitely could at that.  You're not alone on not liking drama.  Jim Carrey says he won't make any more dramas because it goes against his belief system of doing shows that don't project positivity.


I think that is pretty cool of him to do so, he doesn't want to, and doesn't have to, very cool.


I think it is too.  We need more positive shows out there and it's good that someone is taking a stand, especially someone in his position.  I do wonder if drama has changed over the years.  For the Greeks, drama meant action.


Yeah that is true, I'm sure it has been ever evolving since then.


I think it was the king of Hawaii, King Kalakaua, if I am not mistaken


I sure do. I like to watch shows like Simpsons and That 70s Show, and you?


Nice, I love SImpsons too. Did you know Bart did not appear in one episode?


Yeah and the interesting thing is that he was not even mentioned in it at all


Yeah strange. The 70s Show flopped in the UK because they put it out there verbatim


Well different country, different humor. Did you ever watch Pokemon?


I watch some of them. There are apparently 750 episode out now


Yeah they have been on air for 16 years now so that makes sense


Yeah exactly, they are everywhere now too, video games and such


Hello, yes as much as I can. Have you ever been to Japan?


Especially with Pokemon go, they have taken over


I have but fortunately I did not travel by car because they highways are all tolled lots of money to pay


Yes I heard it will cost you $300 to cross the country in a car so good decision on your behalf


Yeah thanks, I agree. I would like to ride on the 160 mph bus that the Dutch are making though


Oh that sounds amazing. In Mackinac Island they have banned motorized vehicles now


Nice, that sounds pretty peaceful except for the horses and the carriages I guess


Yup it sure does. In Iceland there is no rail so people have to figure other ways of transport


Yeah they have to travel by plane if they do not have a car


Yeah got to figure out something I guess. Do you know who was the first king to travel the world?


Good morning!  Can you believe facebook has been around since 2004?


I am although I am considering tapering off some.  Are you on?


Yes, I log in once a day. Some people I know only use Facebook Messenger to communicate.


Do you mean that's the only thing they use or that they just use that part of facebook only?


I don't know I have never asked them, but they stopped using their email, and they respond faster if I use Facebook messenger, personally, I don't like it.


I am not sure I would either.  Facebook is getting too dominant as it is.  Did you know that a state in germany has made the like button illegal?


Do you what they tried to accomplish with that ?  But I don't mind, I have never used that button.


No I don't.  I can only guess that perhaps it was to get people to use facebook less?


Maybe, or so people won't show their support for controversial issues or just a political party, some countries have very strict political campaign/advertisement laws.


You know I hadn't thought about that but you could be right.  Some countries just the opposite though. Take Iceland for example.  They are rewriting their constitution via facebook.


I think that was the objective of FaceBook, becoming some kind of super network that would benefit society. I think it did not succeed. At least the benefit to society part.


Yes, and  it was worth 75 million 1 year later. They are successful.


Some companies might agree.  Burger King ran a promotion where if you unfriended 10 people you got a free whopper.  That reminds me, it's time for lunch.  It's been nice chatting with you!  Have a great day!


It's really incredible when you think about it.  I guess in that year they moved it from just being for college students to being for everyone. They definitely went fast!


And now they are valued in the hundreds of billion, it is like a small country.


I didn't realize it until now but in 2004 it was for college students, 2005 adults, and in 2006 for anyone age 13 and above.


It thinks kids can get around that restriction, but do kids want to get on Facebook now  ?


I think they can too.  I don't know. I hear that they like Instagram better.  They used to like myspace but that's over.


They could have bought Facebook in 2005, and now they would be lucky if Facebook wants to buy them.


That is so true lol!  All facebook wanted was 75 million at that.


And the founders would be still rich if they sold at that time, but now they are mega rich. Are you on Facebook ?


I just found out that the sun is actually white.  I always thought it was yellow.


I would love to hear the storms.  Do they sound like the earth's storms?


Probably just a roar of white noise. In contrast, Canadian radio plays at least 40% Canadian music. Do you know the band Rush? Everyone in Canada knows Rush.


No, I do not know.  Is there really such a law?  What is the reason for the law?


To ensure that Canadian media are not dominated by foreign (e.g., US) content. To give Canadian artists an audience. Not sure how they define "Canadian content". Did you know that you make a radio out of simple household items?


I did not know that.  Please tell me about it?


In World War II, soldiers made radios with razorblades and pencils to form a diode. These were called "foxhole radios."


Now I remember hearing about it.  It was very interesting to know.


You can also listen to classic radio shows on the internet now! If you want to know about radio, there are plenty of resources!


I will do that.  By the way, A finish radio has been broadcasting news programs in classical latin.  I wonder who will listen to the program regular?


The sun is a star just like the white stars at night. It is nearly a perfect sphere, and accounts for almost all of the mass in the solar system!


Latin is hard.  Are there many people in Finland who understand Latin since they have radio news in Latin?


I don't know. It could be for students of the language. Perhaps someone in the government has a fetish for the language. The Finns live in a cold climate with a long winter. Maybe Latin is interesting when you're sitting in a sauna.


I understand that its mass is approximately 330000 times that of earth.


And it's only 1 billionth of the size of the larget star in our galaxy! Cosmic sizes make no sense to the human mind! We are so insignificant.


Knowing that the earth is much smaller than the sun, I'm rather fearful.


We wouldn't have to worry about the price of real estate on the sun because it's huge, but we'd need a lot of sunblock and a lot of air conditioning. Did you know that Nepture completes an orbit only every 155 years or so? Not so many Christmases on Neptune then.


Neptune's last full orbit was on July 11, 2011. By the way, I would prefer less Christmases since I cannot afford it.


And your birthday? That would only be every century and a half too. The


It is okay.  Perhaps I would not get old too fast


Did you know that Jupiter has massive radio storms that can be heard on AM radios on earth? Probably not as catchy as Top 40 radio though.


Did you ever read Archie comics growing up?


Yeah wow, imagine how much total money that is worth in today's terms.


oh a crazy amount for sure, also I didn't know google purchased gmail.com from garfield comics, give a whole different feel to that name now haha


That is funny, I've never heard that before.  Do you watch much television?


I don't actually I only pay for internet and not cable, what about you?


I watch mostly live and recorded sports so I have cable.  Did you know there are over 750 episodes of a Pokemon show?


wow didn't know that, I watched season 1 as a kid and then was done after that so I'm missing a lot haha, did you know home had over 188 jobs in the first 400 episodes of the simpsons?


Yeah that is so many, and wow! I would not have guess that many, I love that show too.


ya I do think it went downhill over time but I've heard the latest episodes are good, I haven't watched them though have you?


No, I think seasons 1-10 are the only way to go, after that it went downhill for me.


ya I wonder how long the show will go on for, I know eventually the voice people will be really old, would they continue the show if homer passed away? I dont know!


I did not, I never got the appeal of it, did you?


Yeah they would have to stop once all the original voices are gone in my opinion.  Well it was nice talking with you today, I hope you have a good day.


No not really, it was just a little bit before my time.  I remember having some marvel ones though.


ya I read marvel as a kid and its a dream to see all their movies coming onto the big screen now


Yeah me too, do you know what the DC in DC comics stands for?


I guess it stands for detective comics, which makes it detective comics comics lol.


oh haha well I didn't know that, also I didn't know michael jackson wanted to buy marvel and then play as spider man in his own movie, now there is a movie I wish we were able to see


Wow, that is very interesting who knows what that final product would have looked like had that happened.


I know right! also that DC paid only $130 for exclusive rights to superman in 1938, I know there is inflation but thats a crazy low amount still


Hi there do you know that Jupiter has radio storms


Fiinnish radio has a latin newa show.. not sure how Finns know Latin .


I guess there are a lot of poindexters there that love dead languages. Maybe they got nothing to do in Finland.


Do you know that car was first patented under name Benz patent Motorwagen


Every carmaker in the world owes it all to Benz. A genius company.


yes Karl Benz was a great inventor that to in 1886 wow


Did he put flamethrowers on the cars back then?


no i guess its just South African evolution


There must be some serious problems if they need flamethrowers. I would like to see one of them cars in action.


yeah would be a good adventure to be in one such car


I would love to take one to the drive-thru. They won't mess up your order then. LOL


Radios falling from the sky? Sounds terrifying! LOL. I know what you mean. I did not know that.


no we can just hear them in am radio..  its too strong


I bet they sound better than a lot of the caterwauling they call music these days.


soldiers had t make radios using razor blades during world war to hear music


Was that to hear music? I thought they would listen to the enemy and such.  I guess they needed to have fun too though.


they named it foxhole radios  it has a pencil and a blade


That's a perfect name. I can imagine it easily. Did they have to listen to local music though?


ITs beacuse of soldiers drive thru was invented by MC Donalds Looks like many inventions are built for army later used for people in general


According to canadian law, all radios are required to have at least 40% of the music played be canadian. I figure troops in foxholes have to do the same. LOL


yeah, maybe they dont like us humor. i dont blame them. haha. Ringo starr, george carlin, and alec baldwin have all narrated thomas the tank engine for at least 52 episodes each


wow thats awesome! Most deals made on the television show 'shark tank' are never enacted


i do like shark tank. did you know Smoking near apple computers voids the warranty by making it "a biohazard"


wow,  thats something they should fix.  a lot of people smoke


yeah. i am not generally a fan of apple products, this is just another reason to add to the list


lol .Bell distributed a manual cardboard computer to high school students in 1968 to teach them how computers work


that is pretty cool to have had, a cardboard computer. In 1936, the russians made a computer that ran on water.


what is is even more crazy and almost makes no sense is The space shuttle's general purpose computer runs on 1mb of ram.


Hey,  im doing great,  how are you?  Did you watch the simpsons?  In the first 400 episodes, homer simpson has held 188 jobs.


i didnt keep count bet yes ive been a fan of the simpsons pretty much all of my ife..did you know When south park aired its family guy episode finale the producers received flowers from the simpsons crew


No,  thats awesome!!!Daniel radcliffe voiced the cartoon parody of twilight's edward cullen on the simpsons episode treehouse of horror xxi.


those halloween episodes were always good. always a surprise


Absolutely!  Have u ever been to universal studios?  They have a simpsons area and ride,  really fun


i have not been there. There is only one episode of "the simpsons" where bart neither appears, nor is mentioned


yeah. you a fan of uk comedy shows? they did a verbatim remake of that 70s show and it was canceled after a handful of episodes.


I do watch some uk stuff.  I did not know that,  thats so odd considering it was such a hit in the us.


Have you heard of the blossom kite festival?


so do you watch on TV? i normally get the weather from my phone or weather.com


Does weather.com make you the right decision?


usually weather.com is accurate, at least for predicting the immediate weather. it can be a little off when looking at the 10 day forecast


do you ever use amazon.com? it is the largest internet retailer in the world!


Yes, i use it. It is very useful for everyone.


The World's Most Innovative Companies 2018. Amazon is a cloud computing giant and the largest American e-commerce company.


yes it is...did you see the part about the CEO building a clock into a mountain? I wonder where that is?


I think The Blossom Kite Festival, formerly the Smithsonian Kite Festival, is an annual kite event usually held on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. in late March during the National Cherry Blossom Festival.


i'm not sure where it is, but the article talks about it!


oh wow, that must be a cool site to see between the kites and the cherry blossom trees. have you been?


no I have not. Here in this article it looks liek the weather was going to be nice although a few days later there was going to be a winter weather advisory


the second part talks about getting forecasts from Alexa. Do you have a home device like an echo?


i don't either but i've used them before and they are convenient. how do you normally get the weather forecast?


I learn when the best time to check weather in advance is Yet the unflinching smiles of TV meteorologists often seem more like the grins back to the weather forecast and begrudgingly take note of their predictions for the weekend ahead.


I have seen a few Python movies but not a lot of their sketches. I would like to watch some of them.


They are great and worth it! So did you ever play the Nintendo Entertainment System? It's hard to believe it could only display 54 colors. That's crazy!


That was the first system I ever owned, I wish I still had it sometimes!


Agreed! You know, it wasn't discontinued in Japan until 2003. I figured it would have been earlier than that!


Yeah that is surprising, maybe it would be easier to get a replacement than I thought


Maybe so! Well speaking of comedy and entertainment, are you a fan of the Incredibles 2 by chance? I thoight writer/director Brad Bird did an incredible job on the sequel to the original 2004 film.


I am an Incredibles fan and saw Incredibles 2 opening weekend. It was a sequel I really wanted for a long time. I hope a third is in the works.


That's awesome! You know there was actually a sequel to the first movie that was a video game called Incredibles: Rise of the Underminer. It came out 13 years before Incredibles 2. Ha!


Wow I never knew that. I really enjoyed that the sequel started immediately following the end of the first film.


So true. And it's crazy that the present day events of the Incredibles are set way back in the 1960s, isn't it!


Hi! I am as a matter of fact. I also love watching Comedy Central but hate they be cancelled over 100 shows since the network started back in 1989. What about you?


I did enjoy that it was not set in present times. It made it feel a lot more unique.


I watch Comedy Central as well and really enjoy comedy in general. I wonder if that number is higher or lower than other networks?


That's a good question. Are you also a fan of Green Lantern by chance? It was initially intended to  be a comedy staring Jack Black. I would have loved to have seen that. Ha!


I was not a fan of the Ryan Reynolds version. I was never into DC superheroes growing up.


What about 3rd Rock From the Sun? I was so happy when it won a Golden Globe back in 97. It surprisingly beat out Friends, Frasier and Seinfeld as well which were all great shows.


I was a little young for 3rd Rock from the Sun, I did not watch many episodes.


Understood. You know, Billy Murray believes that Kung Fu Hustle is the supreme achievement of modern age comedy. I kind of agree with him there. Ha!


I thought it was a unique film but not sure I totally agree with him on it being the best recent comedy. I am a big fan of his though.


He's a legend, That's for sure. I love how the Python Programming Language creator basically named it that to honor the British comedy group Monty Python!


Oh...lol  There are a few...Darius Rucker from Hootie and the Bluefish is one that's popular right now.  Did you ever hear what U2 did at a few shows in 1987?


Oh, they pretended to be a country band? that was great. i bet they had a lot of fun.


No, i  am terrible at dancing. i do not dance. i do not think others want me to dance. You?


I am terrible at it but I still give it a go and just have fun with it.  We got to a lot of wineries that have live music.  I'll get up there when there's rock bands playing.


if you got the stones to do that, good for you! i cant, no matter how much i drink.


Hahahaha That's funny.  You should try it sometime.  The other people don't care everyone is having a good time.  Did you know that Bruce Lee was a great dancer and won the 1958 Hong Kong cha-cha championship?


I never saw the man dance but i can imagine it. he must have had quite a sense of rhythm. cha-cha? thats great!


He had the karate moves so I guess dancing isn't that far off from having the motor skills needed for that.  On one last note did you know that Michael Jackson had a patent for a device that allowed him to get the extreme lean he had in some of his dance moves?


I guess he had something special that he wanted to hold onto. he was smart.


I dont listen to country much. usually pop rock and jazz. You?


Yes!  It's been fun chatting with you!  Have a good one!


I listen to pretty much everything.  I'm a music junkie. lol  Did you know that the Fender stratocaster guitar was intended for country music?  I'll throw out some country facts and then we'll move on to dancing or the president.  lol


Groovy. i know that the strat is used in rock now. the telecaster is the guitar for country. who is your favorite country artist?


I think my favorite one is maybe Hank Williams Jr.  Have you heard of George Strait?  He is a legend in the country world and he is also cousins with the richest man in the world ...the one who created the Amazon monster Jeff Bezos.


Well, that is a good cousin to have. i guess George could get amazon prime for life then. LOL


LOL Right?  There are only 2 African Americans in the country music hall of fame and I have no idea who they are! LOL


are there a lot of AA fans of the genre? i imagine that other music genres have AA fans.


I'm not sure what an AA fan is?  Could you tell me? lol


African American. Sorry. just a lazy typist. I imagine that rap, jazz, blues, gospel, hip hop get more AA fans


Hi, are you a baseball fan? My favorite team is the Yankees, they have been around since 1901


Now but that must of took them a lot of time


A man found $3 million  in baseball cards in his grandfather's attic


I'm surprised they were still in good condition after being hidden since the 1940s


Yes, I wish I found them.  Interestingly speaking of baseball it says that in 1973 two yankee pitchers switched families permanently.  I wonder what that means?


I'm not sure either, maybe they both divorced their wives and then married them


In August 1991 Don Mattingly was actually suspended for not getting a haircut.  I wonder if they still enforce that rule?


It's possible, I know they made Johnny Damon cut his hair and shave his beard when he signed with the yankees


Wow.  Interestingly, the woman's world cup had higher TV ratings than the world series in the U.S. That is cool.


That's cool, I think that was the year the US women won the world cup


great!  The ottoman empire was still around when the Chicago Cubs last won the world series.


Yes, Phillies my team.  Yankees lost me a bet for a $1 with my grandma when I was very young so I gave up on them.  Did you know that Roberto Osuna hasn't pitched since May 6 serving a 75 game suspension


Lol, I think they need to update that fact unless the ottoman empire made a resurgence a couple years ago


I knew he was suspended but not for that long,what team is he on now?


Oh, I knew he was on the blue jays, that's a pretty high risk trade considering Osuna violated the domestic violence policy


Yes.  Apparently the Yankees trade with the Reds for Chapman before the 2016 season when Chapman was set to serve a suspension for a domestic abuse incident is similar


Yea, I remember that, although Chapman is a great closer I wish the Yankees wouldn't of traded for him in 2016 due to his incidents


It seems risky.  But the Astros seemed to want a late-inning reliever badly enough to get Osuna


Yea, as former world series champions they started to get worried they only had a 4 game lead in their division


Did you know that a married couple scheduled all the major league games for 24 years up until 2005


Have you ever wanted to visit the 9:30 Club in DC?


Probably, apparently professional ballet dancers go through 4 pairs of shoes a week.


Wow!  I had no idea ballet dancing was so hard on the feet!


Yeah, apparently so. Tupac danced ballet in high school.


Yes he did. He did the mouse king role in a production of the nutcracker.


Yeah, crazy. Apparently MJ patented his dance moves.


It seems really odd to think that dance moves could be patented.  I guess Michael Jackson thought outside the box on a lot of stuff other than his way of life.


Yeah, did you know that U2 has opened for themselves before?


Did they wear some sort of disguise or something?  Did they play different music than their regular stuff?


I think they wore a disguise as the Dalton Brothers.


That sounds a little country. I am going to assume they did some country music.  I wonder if there's videos of it on youtube.


No actually i haven't. I've never heard of it.  What is the 9:30 club like?


Yeah, it  was probably a pretty cool show.


It's pretty cool, there was some indie rock bands that played there.


That sounds cool.  I have heard about some distillery in the area that puts on a roaring '20s night for charity.  It sounds like it could be fun.


Yeah, I've never been. Do you happen to remember the name of it?


I think it's called the Catoctin Creek Distilling and if I remember right the party is the Prohibition party.


Wow, that sounds cool. Did you know Bruce Lee was also a great dancer?


Seems like I have heard something about that through the years.  Didn't he win some kind of dance contest or something?


Yeah, he won the Hong Kong Cha Cha championship in 1958.


That's pretty impressive! I wonder if he was a good dancer because of his martial arts skills.  On the other hand Tupac did some ballet dancing and he had no martial arts skills that I'm aware of.


Quarterbacks are leaders of the offensive teams.  What do you call leaders of the defensive teams? I'm not familiar with football.


It is just a sport where so much goes into those 11 minutes from planning to split reactions. I


Oh okay.  Do you know that Green Bay Packers are the only not for profit major franchise in American professional sports?


They sure have a very old history originating in 1919 and was originally sponsored by the indian packing company


It's amazing that they have sold out every game since 1960.


I hear they are very inclusive with the community and have a big part in the community's history and pride so it is no surprise that they have such dedicated fans. They must have been disappointed when the green bay packers lost to the beloit fairies


Probably but they are not going to stop being loyal to the team.  Beloit Fairies was the first team to beat the green bay packers.


I think that green bay packers are here to stay as depicted by George Martin. If there is every a end of real sports due to simulations, the green bay packers would be the last to go


You are probably right.  Being a team that is owned and loved by their community is something really special and unusual.


Also they are progressive and don't have dated rules like forbidding cheerleaders from being in the same restaurant as other nfl players and forcing them to leave even if they came first like the new orleans saints


I'm not too sure but it is usually a defensive line with several faster defensive players behind them


I've got to run now.  I learned a lot from you about the NFL and football.  It was nice chatting with you.


Oh okay.  Is there or were there any female NFL player?  I heard that there was no written rule against female players.


There aren't but I guess the requirements pretty must disqualify female players considering there still don't have a single one


Apparently, the average lifetime earnings of an engineer is higher than the average lifetime earning of an average nfl player.


The number of hours players play is probably also much lower on average due to injury than engineers


It makes sense.  Thank you for the clarification.


I'm okay.  My son and his friends like to watch football games.  What I know is that they have 32 teams.


Personally, what I found most surprising is that the average game only has 11min of real gameplay


It would be hard running the floor with those in there... Just kidding! Kareen got the dunk banned for a few years!


I wonder why 5000 year old shoes perform better and if that would still hold true while playing sports?


Not sure. Maybe better cobblers back then. Steve smith leaves his cleats on the field to raise awareness of homelessness.


That's awesome of him to do that and for Stephen Marbury to promote inexpensive $15 shoes for free!


I remember when that first happened. It was so controversial, helping kids who cannot afford shoes...


Speaking of people who can't afford shoes...ballet dancers can't make a ton and go through 4 pairs of pointe shoes a week!


That's a lot of shoes! How??? What's the cost?


Not sure, but can't be cheap if it's one of the main things for their job!  I hate spending money on shoes and I don't even buy them often!


Me too. I go through running shoes every 4-6 months and I hate buying new shoes!


I do like buying some shoes for fashion though, but I still look for a good deal!  Crazy how much fashion has changed and is determined by design elements!


Great and you? Do you enjoy learning things about space such as Jupiter's moon could be a planet if it orbited the sun?


I do enjoy it but do not seek it out. Do you?


I like the big space happenings like eclipses, but that's about it! I do enjoy basketball though and learning about James Naismith.


Me too! He's lost the most games as a coach in Kansas history. I would just change the rules to get a better win percentage.


Haha good point! I never knew that the highest paid state employee was the basketball coach in many states either!


Yeah. Many states see it as a ROI issue. If their revenue sports can cover their lower tier sports, they do not need to subsidize them as much.


I would've expected it to be their football coaches.  I can't believe the name of New Zealand's team!


There is a basketball court on the top floor of the supreme court!


I wonder if all those basketball players leave tea bags in their shoes to absorb the odor!


What do you like to do for entertainment


I was at the tail end of atari. Nintendo NES had only 54 colors. I wonder how many Atari had


I don't remember.  Did you know that a Canadian entertainment company is going to search the infamous atari video game landfill for a documentary?


I  have never heard of that landfill, do you know much about it? is it the old factory where atari started or something?


I think Atari rushed out an E.T. game based obviously on the movie but did a poor job and sales were terrible so they dumped thousands of unsold game cartridges in some landfill.


yikes, I wonder if those are worth something and we should beat them to the landfill and dig ourselves


lol  ok I will bring some clothespins for our noses


perfect lol, I am sure they have been sitting there years lol! Do you remember Bill Nye ?


Apparently he got his start by winning a steve martin look a like contest, I don't really see the resemblance


Well i can't comment on that as i don't really remember what he looks like.  It is weird how famous people sometimes get weird breaks into show business.


I like streaming TV shows.  They are so many new and interesting TV shows out there.  I have a hard time picking a new one to watch from all the choices.


right it takes something so small sometimes. It was great chatting with you, have a great weekend!


I totally agree with you, we are lucky to have such a selection, do you have any favorites?


Too many to name: Breaking bad, Lost, the new Lost in Space of Netflix. I am currently watching 11.22.63 on Hulu right now.  It is great.  What are some of your favorites?


I just finished Breaking Bad, talk about an awesome show! I like the super hero shows on netflix and the office is my all time favorite


I forgot about the Office.  I think the Office, Breaking Bad, and Lost are my top three shows.  Michael from the Office is probably my favorite character.  I was sad when left the show.


I got into lost hard a few years back but never finished it, was it worth it to finish?


I think so.  It was a little confusing.  Perhaps like the Soprano ending (another great show)


That is what I was told, I haven't watched it because I heard that and didn't want to be disappointed. Maybe one day I will. Did you ever play nintendo as a kid?


No, I played Nintendo Wii with my kids.  I might be a little older than you.  I played Atari as a kid.


Sounds like he made a great choice.  Regardless of his initial reason.


Seriously! Jon Hamm even taught drama in high school and one of his students was Ellie Kemper from the Office, such a small world!


It really is, there was even one king that was able to travel around the world.


What do you mean? The king traveled around the world to promote something or for vacation or something?


I don't know, he was just the first to do it.  He was the king of Hawaii.


I don't know, if there are they might now have power like the those in a monarchy.


Oh I see, I really want to travel to Iceland some day but the lack of public rail services and having to rely on domestic flights seems to be expensive to me.


Me too!  True, but the US is like that between some big cities.


That is true or technically you could get that by car, it's just that you'll have to drive for days which isn't too feasible either. Do you have a destination you'd like to travel to?


Hi! I love dramas because its a form of poetry set in a dramatic mode and is very entertaining, do you?


Those are really nice places, hopefully you make it there some day!


Me too! I'm sure Hugh Laurie loved it too since he was paid $700K per episode! Wasn't that show on for a long time? He must've been paid more than doctors?


For real!  It had like  6 seasons or something like that.


Yeah, he was the highest paid actor ever for TV dramas, I wonder who the other highest paid actors or actresses were for other categories like comedies


Yeah.  I heard Jim Carrey doesn't do dramas.


How come Jim Carey doesn't do dramas? I think I wouldn't take him seriously if he were.


It is against his belief system to do anything that doesn't portray positivity.


Wow! No wonder I don't see him in anything besides comedies. I wonder what made him become an actor, Michael Caine became an actor since all the pretty girls were in drama class.


lol That is funny.  I remember hearing that song so much at sports games while I was growing up.  The president of Indonesia has released 3 pop albums while in office. I wonder if they were any good? lol


Wonder if one of those is the catchiest song of all time LOL I would guess not, did you know that North Korea has a K-pop girl band? And it is the most popular group in the country?


LOL You're probably right! hahaha  Do you like going to concerts?


Yes I do like concerts. One of my favorite concerts I wish I could have gone to was Pink Floyd, what about you


I love going to concerts.  Used to go to tons of them back in the day when they were more affordable and played in areas that were easy for me to go to.  Pink Floyd recorded a live concert at an ancient Roman amphitheater in Pompeii with no audience. lol Wonder why they did that?


Yeah I hope they recorded that it's probably an amazing concert haha. What do you think about Creed though? They were sued because their concerts were so bad back in 2002


That must have been a really really bad show! lol  The Ramones played a lot of shows over a 20 year span...a total of 2,263 shows!


It is a lot of shows!  I do think that Lincoln Park is more impressive though, they did 324 concerts in only one year


Wow.  That is alot.  In Croatia, there is an ancient Roman amphitheatre that is still used for concerts.  That would be cool to see a show in a setting like that.


I agree with you! I want to see some guitar playing in that Amphitheatre haha, Have you ever learn to play the guitar


I do like pop music, I also like accordions though, did you hear about the big accordion Festival that is happening in Virginia?


I used to play but wan't good.  lol  Brian May from Queen uses coins as guitar picks!  That's unique.


That is really cool. Also cool is that Van Halen actually set a speaker on fire when he was playing a guitar solo LOL that's so metal


I didn't.  Could you tell me more about it?


Yes it takes place in Falls Church, Virginia and there are going to be about a hundred and fifty people celebrating with accordions there


That would be interesting to see.  Did it have anything to do with the 80th anniversary of the American Accordionists Association?


Yes I think so. And that one of the people among them is Lou Coppola, he's been doing this and playing the accordion for about 28 years now


He's originally from Bridgeport, Connecticut, speaking of music though what kind of pop music do you like


I like all kinds.  I grew up in the 80's so that pop music era is my favorite.  I was surprised to find out that the actor Ricky Gervais was a pop singer in the 80s/


Yeah that is shocking! It's also shocking that scientists determined the queen song, We Are the Champions, to be the catchiest song of all time LOL


Hi do you listen to music much and do you have a favorite album?


Yeah. And sometimes when she does not want her photo taken she walks backwards


Hmm strange. She released 8 seconds of white noise once and it became a hit in Canada


Yeah totally topped the charts, that is insane, they must love her there


I go from time to time. Linkin Park played 324 of them in one year only, that was in 2001


That is a lot but not as much as the Ramones who toured for 20 years


That is amazing. They played 2263 concerts during all those years


Yeah pretty impressive. There is an ancient theater in Croatia where you can hold a concerts


Heard about it. There is another one like it in Pompeii and Pink Floyd played there


Yeah they did but without an audience, what a waste in my opinion


Hi there yes I do listen quite a bit. I like Hybrid Theory by Linkin Park


Yes I know, I would have liked to be there


Neat, that is the best selling album of their century, they really scored there with that one


It is amazing. Have you heard of Reel Big Fish before?


Yeah they are that band who lost the rights to their songs and rerecorded their hits later


Yeah talk about dedication. Two identical twins in Japan have released a rap album and they are 100 years old


That is awesome. Do you like Taylow Swift by any chance?


I like some of her songs. She owns a private jet and an airport hangar to store it in Nashville


She has the money so why not. Did you hear she removed her music from Spotify


Yes and she said something about how the music should not be free.


WOW! That's clever. I enjoy guitar music. Queen's guitarist, Brian may, has a PHD in astrophysics.


he also built a guitar out of parts from an old fire place and his mothers knitting needles . super smart


Yes. Honestly all of Queen always struck me as a very intelligent group of men. I am also a big fan.


I agree. did you know that the nokia ringtone  from a 1902 composition by spanish classical guitarist and composer francisco tarrega, called gran vals.


I did not. It's been so long that I honestly can't remember what that sounded like. I wonder where the iPhone ring tone came from because I hear that everywhere lol.


have you ever heard about a mute man from england that could only communicate to others with a piano


I had not heard that but it's actually quite touching that he could find a way. Speaking of piano, Freddie mercury used the same piano to record bohemian rhapsody as paul mccartney used to record hey jude.


I thought so. I can't play piano but I enjoy the sound. If I had the room a player piano would be nice.


I like pianos I would like to learn how play one. they used to have steam piano and they were audible for miles


I like jazz but cant say I really know much about it.


That must have been extremely loud up close.


It's an interesting genre. Jazz trumpeters grew goatees because it provided comfort when playing.


that is interesting. Tupac Shakur studied jazz when he was in baltimore school of the arts


I would not have expected that at all. Things may have gone differently for him had he followed that passion. I know that the New Orleans style of jazz started in the 1910's.


thats over a 100 years ago. Jazz has been seen as a major form of musical expression since the 1920's


That is an old form of music especially compared to the most popular forms of music now. Pakistan has a jazz orchestra that is currently topping the charts.


I never new that . Did you know that louis armstrong ended the beatles three months on the billboard top 100


WOW! I didn't think anything could stop The Beatles. No offence to Armstrong but I know a lot more people that still listen to The Beatles.


This is a pretty interesting guitar fact,  A dial tone is in the key of f, serving as a pre-internet trick to tune your guitar


Yeah. I know if you smoke them with BBQ sauce for 2 hours on 180 they are delicious...


That a good tip, but they probably won't heal well after that.


No, I am not good for the healing portion of ribs. I am on the other side of the healing line. I wonder how many ribs a black swallower fish can eat...


Times times their weight? They would get kicked out of the smorgasbord.


Yeah! They would do some damage... I wonder how they would consume water?


I don't know whether they are freshwater or saltwater fish.


That would make the difference. I kknow they do not have necks...


The humble seahorse is the only fish to have a neck. But it's not immortal!


Is there anything that is immortal, besides Hulk Hogan?


There is a breed of jellyfish that's immortal. Probably goes by the nickname "Hulk Hogan."


Well, thanks! How is your smelling ability


It's pretty good, on par will most. I still can synthesize my own vitamin C.


Hearing is pretty good. Like most humans, I have excellent distant running abilities. Well, maybe I used to.


There is a sound frequency that causes fear in humans! That seems weird...


I think it's 13 hertz, very low, below our threshold of hearing. Causes fear because I think it's like an earthquake sound.


Reallly??? That's impressive knowledge! Do you know anything about ribs


I've read that they grow back stronger after they get broken, but I haven't tested that out myself.


You got one right. They were JFK, Washington and jefferson.


I should have known JFK. That just seems right now that you say it. I knew it his wife came from money. I wonder how they all came to be wealthy.


Not sure but the US President's guest house is larger than the White House. I wonder if it is on Air BNB. LOL.


That would be nice! I wonder who is in the massive guest house now.


Me too! Probably not the President of Indonesia. I hear he has been busy working on his pop albums. He has released 3 while in office. Who has the time?


I guess the President of Indonesia has the time LOL I want to know why the President of Zimbabwe was called president banana...


What? I wouldn't care for that if I were him! I heard this the other day that the runner up in the 1805 election automatically became the VP.


I see that did not work out so well or something since they stopped letting the runner-up be vice president LOL


True! The government is a funny thing. They own 86% of the land in Nevada. I wonder if they own Vegas.


Maybe they do since that is where all of the money seems to be made there. 85% is a ton of land.


Evidently, the French President is really into it as an activist. I heard that it did not go so well with him because his environment minister resigned.


I do not know anything about the French. Why did his environment minister resign over that?


He said he didn't feel like the government was answering the problems properly. He felt like they were too lax.


Hm. I will have to read more about that then!


Speaking of the government, have you ever heard about the story about the guy who impersonated a govt official and sold the Eiffel Tower not once, but twice!?


Nope! I have not heard about that Eiffel Tower guy. I guess the French have a lot of problems.


Sounds like it. Who do you think the 3 wealthiest presidents were?


Are you an Amazon Prime member?  They now have 100 million customers!


Wish I had his idea first!  If I would have been the first Amazon customer, I might have had a building named after me and been able to make some money.  The first amazon customer spent $27.95 and had a building name after him.


Have you ever gotten an Amazon package delivered on Sunday? Apparently you can as the USPS has a contract with Amazon to deliver packages on Sunday.


I don't remember getting one on Sunday.  If you join Amazon Prime though, expect to spend twice the money on there that you normally would.  The average Prime customer spends $1300 per years as compared to $700 for non-Prime customers.


Yikes. I guess people buy things that they don't want. Or maybe they just buy necessities they would normally get in a brick and mortar store.


People must be getting something from it that that many join.  The company is based out of Seattle, Washington and has been around now for almost 25 years.


Hopefully most don't have an addiction to online shopping. Amazon certainly does keep giving consumers more and more reasons to become Prime members, according to an analyst at Forrester.


If you click continually on links from the internet it can cause real addiction.


It's surprising that that addiction is measurable.


They measure the brain to figure that out.  I guess it must show up in MRI or CT scan..something like that probably.


Even if we climb Mt Everest we can give time to our clicking addiction as there is 3g service up there.


No, I have not though I have been in the past. I can't believe that more than five billion items were shipped with Prime in 2017.


Well, I probably don't have to worry then, as I'm not going there any time soon!  But, if I am and the internet burns down they have it saved in Alexandria.


Amazon sure seems to have a huge play in the market today.  I see many brick and mortar stores closing around us.  I wonder if they ever could put Walmart out of business?


I wonder also though Walmart has started to offer different shipping schemes so I am sure they are aware they need to change.


Netflix is up there too in business with 125 million subscribes.


I love Netflix, as do many. From 9 pm to 12 am they make up for 33 percent of all North American bandwidth.


Just imagine how much money Amazon takes in with a $99 a year membership multiplied by 100 million!


Wow, I don't even want to know. Blockbuster must feel regretful as they declined several offers to buy Netflix for $50 million and now Netflix is worth $2 billion.


I guess Jeff Bezos the CEO was bored with all that money because he built a clock into a mountain than should run for 10,000 years.


Speaking of CEOs, it's surprising that Reed Hastings of Neflix started Netflix after racking up a $40 late fee on a video cassette copy of Apollo 13.


Did you watch Johnny English Strikes Again?


Well its a good thing that you like them as you can burn a lot of calories just by watching a horror film


That's new to me, did you know E.T. was originally suppose to be a horror movie?


It was? good thing it wasnt E.T. is one of my favorite fellows lol, do you like abstract art? well pay attention to it after watching a movie and you will like it more


I don't like abstract art much but I see it everywhere on Facebook!


Oh I see, how long have you had a Facebook account?


About a year, I really stopped using it lately because a third of all divorce filings in 2011 contained the word Facebook.


Yeah I guess Facebook does make couples fight each other, its also being used to rewrite the constitution of countries, like for Iceland


Yep 30% of American adults get their news there as well.


I see, did you know that MySpace had an offer to buy Facebook for lilke $75 million,


No, but I know there are more people on Facebook than there were in the world 200 years ago!


Really? well that makes sense, almost everyone has an account now.


Yeah the same one, it has Mr. Bean as the leading actor.


I havent seen it either, the first part was really funny so I might watch the sequel, I think Im waiting until it comes out in Bluerray or Netflix at least


Cool, I might check it out but speaking of Netflix have you seen that new horror series "The Kingdom"?


No I havent seen them, what is ''The Kingdom'' about?


Zombies really? the name sure doesnt fit the description lol, and Im not much of a fan in fact I hate horror films


I love them, Netflix has such a huge collection, can't stop watching them.


That's interesting. I wonder what kind of music Canada prefers. Do you ever read the full terms when purchasing something?


I never read the full terms. What about you? If you do, you would only be about 7% of the people who do lol.


I don't think I ever do. I'm glad i'm not the only one! Did you know there is internet on the top of mt. everest?


I have heard that. I also heard there is 3g cell service as well.


That's crazy. Maybe it is meant for safety reasons. I wonder who set it up all the way up there.


Not too sure on that. The library of Alexandria has a saved copy of the internet in the event it were to burn down.


That's pretty cool. I can't imagine what we would do without the internet at this point. The whole world would crumble.


I agree. Did you know people can become addicted to the internet?


I feel like a lot of people are probably addicted and don't even know it.


I think so too. The 3 horizontal line menu item on apps and websites is called the hamburger button.


I never knew that! Thanks for chatting! Bye!


I do, it's actually pretty great. You can find almost anything on there. It has 4 million songs that haven't even been played once.


That's awesome. I might have to check it out. I saw they actually have audible watermarks embedded in their music.


I didn't know that! A musician needs to get about 130k plays a day to get minimum wage. That seems like a lot to me.


Wow - that's a lot! The programmer of Spotify is also the programmer of Utorrent.


That's really interesting. He's got a lot of good ideas. Do you like listening to the radio?


I don't listen to it too much after getting Spotify. Jupiter has radio storms that are so strong they can be picked up by an AM radio.


That would be very cool to hear. In Canada, it's required by law to play at least 40% of the music from Canada.


Really? I must of missed that episode lol. Speaking of TV, Pixar had to study physics of curly hair to be able to correctly place Merida's  curly hair in the movie BRAVE....wow, a lot of work goes into TV and movies!


You ever watch that 70's show? they tried to redo it in the UK


I also like the tv series That 70s Show! I did hear about the remake but they cancelled after only 10 episodes lol...nothing like the original! There have also been a lot of Pokemon episodes, 750 or more, wow!


Yeah over 16 year period 50 episodes a year.


Right! That is a long running tv show! Funny fact I was reading is that Kim Jong-Un has a degree in physics...I guess that isn't too surprising!


Wow! Ringo Star, George Carlin, and Alec Baldwin all played Thomas the Tank.


Did they really? Wow, that's cool! Whenever I hear Alec Baldwins name it reminds me of his brother who played in a firefighter movie years ago, and then I remember reading that Dalmations were always at fire stations in the older days to help keep the horses calm, my mind wanders lol.


Back Draft that was a good movie. Yeah they had 52 episode between them.


That's the name of the movie! Loved that one. I think they have showed that movie on TV a few times, and I watch it every time.


Me too. Do you like horses? I heard two high school student road their horses to school on no vehicle day and then got suspended.


Hi how are you? Have you ever seen westworld?


I love horses! Oh my gosh, that is ridiculous! Well I am going to watch some TV and maybe check out Westworld if I can find the last season. You have a great evening! Great chatting!


You too thanks for the chat. Clint Eastwood was allergic to horse.


I am great, thanks! I have not seen Westworld tv series but I have heard it is really a great show, yet the 2nd season I guess is a bit confusing. Have you watched it?


I have not the whole thing was confusing to start but the concept is awesome.


Yes, I heard that the concept is good and they insert little puzzles and Easter eggs throughout the show to try and figure out which is huge on social media.


Is that show on HBO or Showtime? I did like that Anthony Hopkins was in it.


I believe it is on HBO. Really? I didn't know he was in it, I like him. It sounds pretty interesting with the Robots and the future time hopping. I guess that is what makes it hard to follow though. Wasn't it Anthony Hopkins that was killed off in the end of season 1?


Yeah but i think they may do a past future kind of thing i hope i really like him. On a different note have you ever watch the simpsons?


I have watched the tv series the Simpsons! Love that show. I liked one episode where Bart was riding around on a horse I think, pretty funny or maybe that was South Park....


To funny, did you know that there is one episode were barts not in it or mentioned.


Hello how are you? Baseball managers wear uniforms because they are technically able to play for their teams if the need arises


I know crazy right! There is a golf course in dubai that requires 4,000,000 gallons of water a day!


Did you know that Babe Ruth wasn't only famous for baseball? He was also once the most famous golfer in America


Yeah,  thats surprising! Samuel l. jackson puts a golf clause in his film contracts that allows him to play golf twice a week during production.


I guess playing golf is really important to some people-perhaps it helps him to relieve stress.


Thats so cool he can ask to play golf twice a week! Did you know There are 12 different blood types that a dog may have, and dogs can donate blood at dog blood drives


No, I did not know that. Poor dogs though, as I don't think they have much say in the matter.


I know right!  But dogs are so awesome,  Im sure they would want to help. Istanbul has a vending machine that releases food and water for the city's stray dogs in exchange for recycled plastic bottles.


that seems productive in so many ways. I'm not really an animal person myself but apparently Google is a dog company. They even state this in their code of conduct.


I know right,  thats interesting. Dogs and elephants are the only animals that seem to instinctively understand pointing


Hmm, I wonder why that is. Animals probably understand more than we think.


Baseball is also a popular pastime in Japan, so much that many Japanese fans do not know it is one of America's national pastimes


Yeah funny ! Kickball is also called soccer-baseball canada


Well, it is kind of similar...the difference is mostly between the kicking and hitting I guess!


Yeah. Up until 2005, a married couple, for 24 years, scheduled all 2430 major league baseball games played each year


You might want to check your grandparents' attic. One man found 3 million dollars worth of baseball cards in his grandfather's attic!


I know right,  too bad my grandparents don't have an attic lol


Maybe under the floorboards? Haha, just kidding. What do you think about golf?


I like miniature golf! The average american golf course consumes around 312,000 gallons of water per day.


Apparently Americans like golf. Golf courses in America is bigger than Rhode Island and Deleware combined


Hi. Are you a fan of the NFl?  Did you know, I heard recently that they don't have any written rules against women playing the game.  I wonder if women will play in the future.


You know I've heard about that and I have to agree.  I think that is a very outdated rule.  If anything, they should make it where the second to arrive has to leave regardless of whether it's a player or cheerleader.


I agree!! Do you watch football? I hate the Patriots as a team but i do love game of thrones. It's funny that the author calls them the lannisters of the nfl.


I do watch foot ball and I too hate the Patriots.  I know Bill Belichick is the winningest coach in postseason but to me he is also the one that cheats the most.


I hate him passionately. I'm a huge Giants fan and i still don't fully follow the super bowl 46 story of the giants not wanting to score


I've never heard about that. I am a Cowboys fan myself.  Hey, did you know that even though the patriots have a bunch of wins they are tied with the Buffalo Bills for super bowl losses?


no but that's so funnY!! do you ever listen to games on the radio? I only do when im driving really


I do when i have to go somewhere I don't want to miss what's happening.  Radios are pretty handy.  I've heard you can hear storms on Jupiter on them but I don't know how to do it.


I didn't know that! Canada requires that at least 40% of music be canadian, i ddnt even know there was that much music from canada!


I think it's weird they'd have to have a law about it.  I wonder if the U.S. has a law about music on the radio.  I do wish they could be more educational like a radio station in Finland. It broadcasts a weekly news program in latin.


I agree. There is a wesbite where you can download 1000s of classic radio dramas for free, maybe you could find more educational ones on a site like that


Hi! Yes! I didn't know that. I'm a huge Giants fan but i love Gronk. I would  kill my brother if he called to complain about my job though to a radio station!


I would like to. I love some of the old radio dramas!


Did that happen?  What did he say when he complained?  And yeah, by the way, i would kill my brother too!


I'm not sure but sounds crazy and he should know better, he played football too for Dallas!


The brother played football for Dallas?  He should definitely know better then.  The Patriots are a winning team.  What could he complain about?


Agreed! But people get so passionate about football which is funny because the average game only has 11 minutes of play time! Poeple spend way more time researching and talking about it.


That is definitely true!  The NFL itself spends more time researching. I mean, they've got tracking chips in each players shoulder pads to record movements on the field.


That's pretty smart!! i didn't know footballs had them as well, must make coaching and planning plays much better and easier.


Or complicated. Can you imagine having to go over data from footballs, shoulder pads, previous games, the players themselves, etc before you can make a game plan?


That's true. I guess i've never played football. My best friend was a cheer leader though. It's funny that the Saints' cheerleaders cannot eat at the same restaurant as any NFL player and even have to leave


Do you think our President is making a mockery of the government?


The banana part is hilarious)Maybe president twitter?


I dont follow the election news that much. Was he elected the second time?


Are the candidates who will participate in election known right now?


Some of them but not all and not all of them are necessarily going to make it to the general election; some will likely drop out


It was fun with Trump, but i also hope we get a new president next election.


Yeah,It seems the 4chan still enjoys him.I think the meme has gone too far with this.


I think he is a horrible example of a president


At least he is fun to watch.I think senate wont let him to do much harm


We need to refer to him like Zimbabwe refers to theirs.


It makes sense. Clicking on links can trigger our brains novelty receptors.


I wonder how much you have to click to become addicted.  People use and want it everywhere. There's even interest at the peak of mt. everest!


Wow. I guess if you're on Everest you might want to post a selfie lol.


Definitely!  Still, how do you think they got the service up there?


I'd assume they have really powerful satellites, and cell towers around the right areas.


I bet you are right.  Did you know there are about 20 quintillion animals on the planet?


It really is.  Even the loch ness monster is classified.  In 1912 Scotland made it a protected species!


Of course it is. Leave it to the Scots lol.


Well, not just Scotland.  Germany has given animals legal rights in their constitution.


I do sometimes.  Did you hear about the lawn shaming incident with Dr. Green lawncare?


I heard about that! I think they started that in 2002.


I can see giving dogs legal rights and even protected species but I am not so sure a mouse should have rights!


You got a good point there. The only right a mouse has, is the right to the door.


I think Germany needs to clarify which animals have rights and which don't.


Is that the guy who didn't take care of his yard or something?


Dr. Green lawncare posted a sign on the lawn of someone who didn't take care of their lawn.  They posted a picture on reddit.


I seen that on Reddit. I think it was on the front page, if I'm not mistaken.


I heard it went viral.  I heard there were a lot of posts about how get revenge on the company.


That's not a good idea. But, I guess they shouldn't go around shaming people either.


No they shouldn't.  Reddit has good things on it too though. It has a page of the 25 nicest things done.


I've never seen that before. I might have to look it up next time I'm on Reddit.


Yeah, sometimes the internet can be used for good.  Although, I've heard that clicking links can be addictive.


I do from time to time. In 2001 Linkin Park played 324 concerts alone, mind blowing


When did they rest? Wow that is pretty amazing. THe Ramon toured for 20 years too


Right, and they played a staggering 2263 concerts during that time


WOw, those guys honestly. In Craotia there is an ancient theater that is still used for concerts


Hmm sounds like the one PInk FLoyd used in Pompeii for a concert without an audience


What a waste, I would have liked to be there for sure. Creed concerts was really bad though that they got sued


Wow must have been really bad then. DO you ever shop at target?


Yes quite a bit. They will match Amazon prices so it makes it a good place to shop


Nice I did not know that. There is no Target in Vermont though


SO I guess they have to stick with Amazon. And they do not carry tobacco products since 19
96


Hey there, yes he is okay. Do you know his real name?


Hmm so I guess not a good spot for smokers either


Yes it is Aubrey Drake Graham and he is a Canadian


Yes he is. He graduate high school at 25


Better late than never I guess. He also seems to be a lot into kids books like winnie the phooh and charlotte's web


Yeah I wonder who it was for though. Did you know the beat from hotline bling is sampled?


Oh yeah heard that it was sampled from Why we can't live together of TImmy THomas


Yeah pretty cool, that song was out before Drake was born back in 1972


Yeah exactly. Once he visited Drake University in the middle of the night when the students did not expect it


Wow that must have been awesome for them. Do you go to concerts much?


Do you like learning about the universe?


Well there is a theory that technically gravity doesn't exist


Well there are many theories out there... but actually the earth's gravity interacts with the moon and the sun.. we can see evidence of the gravity's interaction with the moon


Well I mean the force of gravity does exist, but as a consequence of indents in space due to dense mass, like the mattress example


Interesting!! well let me tell you I want to travel and get to know as many different, seas, mountains, lakes and rivers!! That is my favorite thing to do.. what about you?


Traveling is an amazing hobby that I too enjoy. Learning about this vast earth so full of life and wonder is always fun


Yes and no place is like any other!! I also want to visit every island there exists! and even the Antartic


I do as well but I am hesitant to go to places that are too dangerous.


that is right, there is always a need to be careful but try to control the fear!  by the way did you know there is a sound frequency that makes  a person feel fear?


I bet they use it for horror movies!! Well there is a lot to learn about us as humans.. I really love to talk about science!


Indeed. I really enjoyed our chat. Thanks for blowing my mind and for this chat.


I mean it includes earth on which we live


sure, did you know there are cold stars?


Ya I wonder how it would be like to see and touch one


Wow it has to be amazing. i really admire people like Copernicus, Isaac Newton and more who have studied the universe and we have been able to learn from them!


I wonder if we will every truly know all there is to know in the universe


I hope so, because there are many questions, like the size of the universe, the number of galaxies, stars and to know what is beyond the visible universe!


I also wonder if there is any other life out there


And the thing is that without leaving our planet, there is so many things to learn about our earth.. to learn about its inclination, why is important, about gravity  and the magnetic field among many other things


DO you loike to check out movie reviewing websites?


Yeah they seems to be onto some great ideas for movies


Yeah for sure. Did you ever play with a Nintendo?


Yes and I loved it, too bad it got discountinued in 2003 in Japan


Yes, it only had 54 colors but it was so much fun


Yes the Science Guy. Do you know how he got into entertainment?


Yes he won a Steve Martin lookalike competition


Yeah. Did you know that even Reagan tried his hand at acting at some point?


Yes he auditioned for the role of the president and did not get it because he did  not have the presidential look


Yes but I guess he had the look to become a real president.


Yes my favorite is rotten tomatoes and you?


Me too actually. Did you know Michael Bay movies in there have really low ratings?


Yes none of them have a rating over 40% and the same goes for video game based movies


Yes those are no better at just 44%, too bad


Yes that would be the Warner Bros, never knew that


Yeah. Spykids has a 93% rating in there though


Yes better than some great movies like the Dark Knight and Lincoln


Yeah. Netflix has 150 movies in there with 100% rating


Haha me as well shame is well hidden in shirts.


I would have fit in well during the chinese cultural revolution. They layered!


Yes they had some quite interesting clothing.  It is very generic all over the world nowadays.


I had no idea the difference between a button down and a button up. Who knew!


Me neither it is insane how much we do not know.


I do not know a lot more than most people. I just shake my head and smile. It has gotten me this far...


Sometimes we must accept our inability to change things much greater than us.  We are like a trickle of water against stone.


Speaking of water, teddy roosevelt was a conservationalist.


Harambe would be happy to eat pancakes in heaven.


With Prince... Seems like a fitting tribute to both...


That is a really strange salutation but no, I am not a skin head.


Neither am I.  I apologize I have just read some distressing material about skin heads.  Did you know skin heads opposed antifa activists?


No problem. Just a strong first sentence. I did not know that. What is the antifa?


I am not exactly sure what Antifa is either.


Just looked it up and it is a left wing autonomous militant group


Ah I see seems natural they would oppose them.


Agreed. Mind if we switch to a lighter subject for the sake of this chat?


Sure did you know that shirts encompass many different types of attire for the upper body?


I did not.  That makes a lot sense. I use mine to hide my shame.


Hey, you a fan of any sports involving hitting balls with sticks?


Woah, that's really far! Softball players don't make a lot of money. It's usually between $5,000 and $6,000.


Well, what do you expect with a game invented at the YMCA?


Softball may have been invented at the YMCA, but it's pretty much a lesser baseball, which is America's national pastime.


Someone asked me about points in baseball, and I had to explain they are runs!


Yeah, golf uses points called strokes though. Unlike baseball, less is more in golf.


Funny how things get named - like golf uses clubs, but baseball uses a bat.


True.    I wonder if they called it that when they used an actual soft ball.


I wonder if the fact that the game used to use a soft ball but now uses a hard ball has any influence on the records.


It probably does, although more important is that softball started as an indoor sport.


Many such games fit that description.   Golf is one I enjoy.


That is pretty important, but it's usually played outside nowadays. Baseball started outdoor and remained outdoor.


Probably for the best, although I wouldn't want to be outside for a 31 inning game!     Thanks for the chat!


I like golf a lot. It's a real shame how much water is wasted per day on each course, though. It's over 300,000 gallons a day a course!


True, but consider that golf courses in America combined are larger than the size of two small US states!


Yeah, golf must be pretty popular in that case. Did you know there exists a golf course in Dubai that uses around 4 million gallons a day? That must cost a lot of money.


I suppose that comes with games that cannot and do not utilize a standardized playing area


You know what games do utilize a standardized playing area? Baseball and softball. The fields are pretty similar.


Interesting.    Babe Ruth was both a famous golfer and baseball player!


Speaking of famous people who play sports, Samuel L. Jackson actually plays golf twice a week during filming of whatever he's in.


Cool.    Did you know Jose canseco claims to hold the record for longest softball homerun at 622 feet


For sure, I have a ton of friends i could unadd lol


It sure has a lot of use.  Iceland is even using it for input on constitution rewrites.


That is hilarious. I wonder if they get some crazy ideas! At least they allow the like button, some german state made it illegal


I have heard that before.  I wonder how that works, if there is some sort of geofence that disables it for all people when they are in that region.


I was just thinking the same thing. Sounds more illegal than anything lol


It really kind of does, like censorship.


for sure, oh well, at least it isn't here lol. do you like fish


I like to loo at them, eat them not so much.  However Id like to be like that immortal jellyfish.  Thatd be cool


There is no way that thing couldn't die lol, there has to be a way! It was so nice chatting with you!


It has been a great chat!  Have a great day!


All the time, both as a business and a personal account.


nice, I have a personal account. Can you imagine if myspace would have bought facebook back in the day at 75 million dollars


They would definitely be a lot more relevant today.  I havent been on my space since 2006 anyway...


me too lol. I think myspace would have ruined this. Now facebook is worth like 104 billion dollars


For sure, he has been in the press too much lately, I couldn't do that


He is actually color-blind that is why facebook is blue.


Wow didn't know that, I always thought blue was too much lol. Did you ever participate in the burger king promotion?


No!  I could have eaten well for free though.  I could get rid of some people on my friends list for a whopper.


How's it going, have you ever been to Reddit? They average 542 million visitors a month


Yea, I'd like to read the first comment on reddit complaining about reddit


Lol that would be hilarious to see. Do you use the internet much?


Yea, all the time, the only thing I don't use it for is to read the full terms of purchase when buying something, only 7 percent of people read it


I did not know that lol. I am one of the 93 percent that don't read them. I should start, I may have sold my soul to the devil for all i know!


I hope the Library of Alexandria deletes terms of service from their saved copy of the internet


I hope so too. Did you know you can get cellular and internet access from mt everest if youre ever interested


That's pretty crazy you can get 3g on Mt Everest yet I can't get it in my basement


Lol or right next to my router! Do you use a computer more or tablet?


Probably a computer for work. It's crazy Transhumanists want to upload their minds to computers


that is crazy lol. did you know computers were around for a while? the russians made one in 1936 that ran on water


I am one of the .53% that vote content up or down. I have actually made the front page 2 times


Nice. Well I got to go, nice chatting with you


Nice, have you seen the page that sums up 25 of the kindest deeds done on Reddit?


I have not, what were some of the good deeds?


I'm not sure but I do know Sam Altman was able to get $50 million in funding so maybe they used some of that money


that is a good point, lol. There is a free online magazine called the redditor, have you checked it out?


No I haven't check out the Redditor yet, I wonder what they cover


Me too, probably everything regarding the internet and computers


I wonder if they wrote an article about user kn0thing's first post on reddit


That would be interesting lol. I wonder what his memo was about. I may check it on the internet


Dance is a performance of art selected of human movement. It is the birth place so many exercise movement without the equipment.


Its very dangerous. Jupiter planet have many number of satellite. The saturn planet have rings.


Wow. Did you know that the moon's highest point is even higher than Mt. Everest  by 1938 meters? Now that's high!


The shape of the moon keep changing from every 15 days. New moon to full moon and then full moon to new moon. We are facing only one side of the moon.


Good to know. Yes, we are on the "Light Side of the Moon" which orbits our planet.  Apparently, NASA considered placing a UN instead of an American flag on the moon for Apollo 11.


In moon, water is available in moisture form do you know ?


I'm not sure about that one but I'd like to turn the conversation to the piano.  Did you know that it was only invented around the year 1700?


Amazing. It is played using a keyboard, which is a row of keys the performer press the key. It is very interesting to hear the music of it.


I think so too. I have a few keyboards that I want to learn to play. I heard that Freddie Mercury used the same piano to record "Bohemian Rhapsody" that Paul McCartney used to record his song "Hey Jude". By the way, Bohemian Rhapsody is out in theaters this week or next, I think.


You know how to play piano. Which is your favourite brand ?


I have a Yamaha Portatone (an old one) and a Casio. Did you know that back in 1930, the BBC thought that there no news worth reporting so they just played piano music instead?  That is cool!


Awesome, I agree. I love to dance. It's aesthetic and loved by all cultures across the world.


In 2006 group of climbers reached the top of Britain highest mountain and found a piano.


Piano's must soothe the savage soul if someone dragged one to the top of Britain's highest mountain. What a blast that must have been to find that!


Solely for stress testing auto-pianos, and is not remotely playable by humans.


Yes, I heard that's called the Circus Gallop!


Yes, I agree. I also found out that an aluminum piano was built for the Hindenburg airship and weighed 356 pounds. Cool.


The scientist still have research about the moon and best of the different things.


Yes, we still don't know everything we should but we just keep on keeping on.  Thanks for the great chat!


The dance movement differ from culture to culture but all movement are unique it is very interesting to watch it. style is also important.


Yes, I heard that Bruce Lee was actually a great dancer and the Cha Cha championship in 1958. Never would have guessed that!


Yes, Babies dance when they hear music its very wonderful. The body more flexible while dancing and it can reduce stress.


Yes, that must be a pleasure reflex that music promotes in us even as babies. Did you hear that professional ballet dancers can go through 4 pairs of shoes in a week?


Its very interesting! Dance can be described by its choreography, to repeat the movement.


Yes, did you know that Tupac danced ballet in his high school and ended up playing the Mouse King in the Nutcracker in his high school production? That's unbelievable. I never would have guessed that one.


The moon is the satellite of the earth which is natural satellite. It is the fifth largest natural satellite in the solar system.


Did you know that moon dust is dangerous? It is harmful to humans and causes a disease call "moon hay fever" ? Wow on that one too!


I love all animals and dogs are up there towards the top for me. Do you like dogs?


I'm sure they will. Did you also know that elephants and dogs are the only animals to understand pointing?


I have never had to teach my pet elephant to point, but now that i know, it will come in handy.


It will. Dogs being color blind is also a myth which I always suspected.


Dogs are good with blue and yellow but not green and red. dont throw a red ball on the green grass.


Very interesting. Did you also know that Google states that they are a dog company?


They seem like a dog company. dogs make the workplace calm and stress free. plus dogs are good at testing.


I'm good with cats or dogs. On a completely unrelated note, I find earth to be fascinating. How about you?


I do find the earth to be fascinating and on a completely unrelated note. How long have you lived here on the earth?


Ha ha 37 years for me so far. Did you know that when first formed an earth day was only 5.5 hours long?


Yes, at this rate, the work day will soon be 20 hours. ill retire then. Anyway, great chat!


I like dogs. they are loyal companions. plus they dont talk too much.


I sure hope not. Nice chatting with you as well. Have a good evening.


Ha ha, true. Did you know that for dogs there are 12 different blood types?


I did not know that. i figure that dogs have many breeds. what type is the rarest? is that a good dog to own?


I do not know what the rarest breed of dog is. I'd be interested to know. I do know that as far as the blood types go they have blood drives which is great because they must need to keep a lot on hand with so many types.


I bet the dogs get treats afterward. they deserve it! i guess they dont mind the needles.


I hope they do. Did you hear about the vending machines in Istanbul for dogs?


I guess dogs dont carry much cash. Do they use credit cards?


Ha ha no. In exchange for recycled plastic bottles it releases food and water for strays.


I guess if i needed food and water, i know what to do. the dogs will help me, im sure.


Yes...there's a wide variety of viewpoints, ranging from very conservative to very liberal...kind of like Fox News, just for the ear.


Fox is the news channel I watch most. It is watched more than CNN and MSNBC combined.


Yeah, but they're kind of touchy...they wanted to sue The Simpsons, of all things, for making fun of them.


Not surprised. They are pretty conservative too.


True...they always have been, going back to their beginnings with Richard Ailes and Richard Nixon....


I know. Kinda interesting a president had a part in it..a leader of a republican state.


Maybe he had the resources. The top wealthiest US presidents were JFK, Jefferson, and Washington.


Right...but since he has so many other duties, as head othe government, you'd wonder how he'd find time to do TV, too.


It's funny that the president of Indonesia released 3 pop albums while in office.


I do, every day on my way to work but mostly music. I think it is cool there is a website where you can listen to classic radio dramas for free.


I suppose his job is more ceremonial..not sure if that's a parlimentary republic or what.


Not sure either. Here's a funny. The first president of Zimbabwe was President Banana.


I wonder what his friends called him...and I suppose he was pretty 'appeel-ing'....


Those are lots of fun...it's interesting to hear how things have changed, attitudes are different.


True, radio is so amazing how it uses radio waves to transport information.


Right...it almost seems like magic, music and words out of thin air...


Yes, I love listening to music and singing though. Did you know in Canada, radio stations must play 40% of music by Canadians? It is the law.


Isn't that something? I guess it's a good idea..different countries have different rules and laws. In Finland, for example, there's a station that does a weekly news program in Latin....


That is cool. How about being able to hear radio storms from Jupiter radio because of how strong they are. Weird!


You can hear that static sometimes...espcially on AM.  Try to listen to a ballgame or other event on AM during a thunderstorm...


AM is pretty different than FM. Do you listen to news channels?


Yes I guess this is what happend when you remake things verbatim in another country


Right,  maybe they should have changed the dialogue to appeal to the British audience.


I haven't watched a full episode of pokemon,  but the kiddos used to have it on sometimes.


Well I was surprised to learn that there are 750 episodes now, that is a lot


I know, it took them 16 years of air time to put those out


Yeah. On another topic, do you like cars?


Hello,  Yes I do watch some TV,  how about you?


Me too they are super handy nowadays. It was nice chatting with you.


Me too. Did you ever watch the Simpsons?


Yes, I used to watch the simpsons a lot,  I hear Homer had over 180 jobs lol


THat guy honestly. There is an episode where Bart did not appear at all
