That makes sense. In the United States presidential election, did you know that until 1805, the runner up in the race automatically became the VP?  There was no running mate in the elections.  I can't help but wonder if that might have been a better system.  But I can imagine it could also be challenging.


That is pretty wild, I wonder what would happen if they went back to that as well.  Maybe it would help force them to work together.


That is exactly what I was thinking.  There might be less contention because they know in the end, they would have to work side by side in office.  The democratic party is an interesting concept, that we have basically just 2 major political parties.


I agree. Did you know that 15% of the tea party movement identify as democrat as well?


I did not know that.  I can't say I know a lot about the Tea Party Movement.


No, I don't know a whole lot myself.  I think if they made it easier for people to understand everything, it might make them vote different.


Hello there, yeah I have heard that before.  Do you know anything interesting about any other presidents around the world?


I agree.  People need to brush up on politics.  Sometimes I think it is troublesome that we have differentiated the parties so much, such as giving them red and blue colors.  That started only 19 years ago, in 2000.


I didn't know that either, interesting.  Well it was nice talking with you today, I hope you have a good one.


Actually I do.  The first President of Zimbabwe was called President Banana.  What a name...


I wonder what his real name actually was.  Do you know who the three top wealthiest presidents in US history were?


If I recall correctly, they were JFK, Washington and Jefferson.  I never would have guessed that.


Yeah good call, I would not have guessed JFK, but I did know their family had money.


Did you also know that they President's guest house is bigger than the white house?  It must be enormous!


Yeah isn't that funny.  I wonder what all the guests that come and stay there think.


They must think "this is a really big house."  Interestingly enough, even though many countries share the title president, that doesn't always mean the same thing.  Some hold more power than others.


Yeah in some places a dictator may also be called a president and they definitely have more power.


Hello, do you have a favorite football quarterback?


I feel very bad for the team that lost by 222 points. It was Georgia tech that defeated Cumberland right?


Yes it was. You have such good football knowledge.  Which football quarterback has the most consecutive starts?


I am actually not sure on that one. Was it Tom Brady? I am not sure, who was it?


Well it was Brett Favre. Did you know  Bruce Lee was a great dancer?


I never imagined Bruce Lee to be a dancer until I learned that he won the kong cha cha championship back in 1958!


Did you know when Bruce Lee was a baby he would spontaneously dance when he heard music, and he smiled more when he hit the beat?


No I did not. Professional ballet dancers can go through up to four pairs of ballet shoes a week!


That is true. Did you know Tupac danced ballet in high school?


He was a ballet dancer that portrayed the mouse king in the nutcracker right?


That is right. I never would have thought that tough ex gang member rapper Tupac danced ballet.


yes my favorite football qb is Aaron Rodgers.


Michael Jackson has a patent on a device that can be used to achieve a lot of lean.


Was that a lean he did in some of his dance moves?


Yep, I was always wondering how he achieved those.


What is the most popular sport in the world?


I belive that it is soccer (or football)


That is correct. Have you ever played soccer?


Ah, so have I. Anyways, I have to go now. Thank you for the wonderful chat!


Ah, mine is probably Tom Brady, although a lot of Americans also like him


How much longer before Tom Brady retires?


I am not sure, do you know? I also wanted to point out that the only left handed quarterback in the NFL is Kellan Moore


Really is Kellan Moore the only left handed quarterback? What tean does he play for?


He has played a total of six seasons for the cowboys and the Detroit lions.


Oh i did not know that. Did he ever start a game?


I am not sure. The circular huddle used in the NFL was invented so the opposing team could not see the hand signals.


Wow thats amazing. Did you know the highest score in a football game ever was 222-0?


That's pretty awesome! Although I would like to eat a lobster right now haha. And yes hiccups are a holdover from When Animals had both gills and lungs apparently


Oh right!  I wouldnt mind having gills if it meant I can swim longer and deeper though.


Wow that sounds awesome! Maybe we can both have y'all's and swim together haha have you ever seen the movie Waterworld though? They definitely hunt those people down haha can you believe that the Loch Ness monster has a special protection against it. The Scottish government did that back in 1912


Oh right waterworld that was a cool movie!  Yeah throw in some webbed feet too!!!!  That sounds good,  Id rather have gills and webbed feet than a tail lol


Sure that sounds awesome LOL. What about Facebook do you use Facebook at all? We need to make a Waterworld Facebook page with only Gill people


Yeah I used facebook!  we should see if there is one already,  that seems easier lol You never know..


Well apparently Iceland is rewriting their constitution on Facebook. So I think we should write a constitution for Gill people only


That probably saves a lot of paper for them!  Did you know there are more people on facebook that there were people in the world 200 years ago?


Wow that's crazy. What do you know about the Burger King Whopper promotion that they did on Facebook


I think they offer a whopper for unfriending people.  Is their friendship worth a whopper?


hello,  I love dogs, dragons, orcas, sharks and octopus'.  How about you?


Haha yep that's what it was. You would have to unfriend 10 people though. I can definitely find 10 people I would unfriend though


lol well its been great talking,  have a good one.


Yes I love dogs chimps and dolphins myself haha. I wish that dragons existed because I would love them too. Did you know there are 20 quintillion animals on planet Earth right now


That is a lot,  I dont even know what quintillion is lol Yeah I wish there wer dragons too,  miniature ones lol other than the kimodo dragon,  that thing is scary.


Yeah you're right I don't know how many zeros that is actually haha. It's crazy that animals can be millions of a meter up to about 30 meters long. I wish I knew more about animals. Then I would have started to become a zoologist


I wish I knew what meters is haha.  I hear theres a lawyer in switzerland that represents animals.  How can he do that?  Can he talk to them?


A great question. Also great question, Germany gave constitutional rights to animals. I wonder what those are. That was done in the year 2002


I didnt know animals have a dominent hand or paw.  ill have to see which one my dog uses more lol


Well I didn't know that. Do you know the story behind hiccups as well?


No whats the story with the hiccups?  Did you know there a type of lobster and jellyfish that are immortal?


Hey - have you ever seen the Incredibles 2?


I did not know that. I guess we have the Greeks to thank for our laughter then LOL.


Yes, in Athenian democracy, political satire performed by comic poets was used to influence public opinion.


That's interesting. Do you like Bill Murray?


I do! He's held up much better than most comedians who seem to veer into unfortunate circumstances over the course of their career. I heard he thinks that Kung Fu Hustle is the supreme


I think it's odd he thinks that movie is the supreme. I didn't think it was that funny. Did you ever see it?


I did not, but to each his own--humor is pretty subjective. For example, over the course of its existence since 1989, Comedy Central has cancelled over 100 shows


I agree. Hard to believe they have cancelled over 100 shows since 1989.


Shows come and go, but some of them really stand the test of time. It's crazy to think that Friends and Seinfeld are still on the air in syndication today when they lost the Golden Globe for best comedy series to 3rd Rock from the Sun" back in 1997.


I also find that pretty crazy. I loved Friends and can't believe 3rd Rock beat it out.


I think sometimes Hollywood makes pretty sill decisions. For example, once, Ronald Reagan was rejected for a movie role because he didn't have "that presidential look" haha


You know, I have not--I haven't seen an animated movie in ages. It seems like there was an awfully long time between the original and the sequel; I believe it was 14 years. Was it good?


Yes, it was very good. The present day events in the movie are actually set in the 1960s.


I suppose time is more fluid in the animated world haha. I heard there was actually a sequel in video game form 13 years before the second movie, I wonder if it was fun to play.


Yep, I heard that too which is really interesting. Do you like Nintendo?


I had the original console and SNES back in the 90s, but I never really got the hang of any of the systems after those. The original system could only display 54 colors, which seems incredibly basic compared to the movie-level systems we have today.


I started out with the original console myself. Hard to believe how much technology has advanced since then.


Yes, the original was finally discontinued in Japan in 2003. I guess entertainment has to keep up with the times!


Yep I guess so. Weird to know that in 50BC, the Britains would breed chickens for entertainment and not food.


Whatever it takes, right? Chickens have everything: tragedy, conflict, comedy. Did you know that the origins of the term comedy come from Ancient Greek?


Hi, do you like to travel, if yes where would you like to go?


Yes, I took a course in school at the age of 12 or 13. It was so long I almost forgot.


I don't have much more time but would love to finish our chat. Did you know there are 1 million insect species? Yuck!


No, I didn't know, I wonder how animals breathe underwater.


Fascinating! Human Hiccups are a holdover from early evolution when early land animals had both gills and lungs.


Yes, that what I heard about fishes, they breathe through their gills.


Animals develop white patches on their foreheads when they are domesticated. I'm not sure why.


I am not sure either, but that is fascinating.


Germany gives animals constitutional rights.


Are you referring to drivers have to yield to right of way when animals are crossing?


I'm not sure which specific rights they give to animals. Thanks for chatting. Have a great day!


I like to go to the beach, via car, how about you?


I hear it is nice. Travel can be done by foot, bicycle, automobile, train, boat, bus, airplane, or other means, with or without luggage, and can be one way or round trip.


I would like to travel by car so that I can see the Hoover river dam.


That would be fun. I enjoy seeing animals when I travel. There are about 20 quintillion individual animals on planet earth.


I didn't realize it was that many animals, because animals hunt animals also human need animals for food.


Yes. There are over 1.5 million species!


Yes, to think about it there are millions of animals that I haven't seen or heard about.


I was reading an article and it stated that our White House has twin buildings in Ireland and France. I thought that was interesting


wow i guess he was good at multiple sports.  I saw that Samuel l. Jackson puts a golfing clause in his film contracts that allows him the oppurtunity to play golf twice a week.


I guess you can do that when you are rich and famous haha. The average american golf course comsumes 312,000 gallons of water. Other countires are literally dying to have that water to drink!


wow exactly thats crazy.  Also golf courses here take up more land space than Rhode Island and delaware combined


That's wild. Even dubai uses 4,000,000 gallons of water a DAY for their gulf course. What a waste in my opinion


I guess that how they stay so green right?


I agree haha. Its interesting that the hole or cup for the gulf course is 4.24 inches in diameter.


I know that the standard forms of terrain are a fairway rough, bunkers, and various hazards


That's true. Gulf is the only ball game that does not utilize a standardize playing area either!


yes, they have to learn to overcome the various terrain and hazards


That's right. The various hazards (water an rock) just add to the uniqueness and probably challenge the game itself.


I think so too! I never really thought the white house would be replicated anywhere else. I wonder why the white house still uses floppy disks to store files?


Also you have to focus on hitting the ball into the tee in as few strokes as possible


Yes. the game at the usual level has 18 holes, that's a lot!


wow that's ancient.  I also read that Teddy Roosevelt banned christmas trees from the White


That's so odd. I think back in those times of Teddu Roosevelt that was probably frown upon to not have Christmas trees in the white house. George w. bush put solar panels back in the white house!


I also heard that the secret service back in 2011 took four days to even realize that a bullet had struck the white house


That's really disturbing. But they are always quick to catch people at the fence. Its hard to believe the u.s. president's guest house is bigger than the white house itself.


wow that is surprising.  I thought this was funny..The first president of Zimbabwe was called president bananna


hahah. speaking of funny the president of indonesia released 3 pop albumbs while in office. imagine a us president doing that!


I wonder how you would have the time while running for president


I know right. A lot of presidents golf. Did you know babe ruth was once america's most famous golfer?


Hi, do you watch hockey? A professional hockey player will lose up to 8lbs in one game! lots of sweat.


Now it's just a glorified farm system for the nfl. The highest scoring football game was a college game georgia tech beat cumberland 222-0 way back in 1916. I guess they had no mercy rule.


I think the GT coach should have put in the third string. Or maybe the cheerleaders. Why run up the score?


He's long dead so we won't be able to find out. Maybe they could make a movie about it. A disney movie perhaps.


Yes, a ragtag bunch of CUmberland players hoping against hoping. They win money on a wager and manage to save their stadium? LOL


Hey sounds better then frozen. Maybe they could get the same director.


I never saw Frozen. I guess it's popular, but not really my cup of tea. If anyone could find a story in the CUmberland defeat, it's Disney.


I didn't really like it, but I gave it a chance since it was the first disney movie directed by a woman. For a family friendly company they really are behind in the times.


Money dictates the choices in Hollywood. When the money is in being family friendly, Disney will be there.


They even reused a bunch of scenes in older movies to save money. If they did that now people would go nuts.


I guess they had the footage and thought, "Why not? Nobody will know."


I don't really watch hockey. From what I've seen, it must be hard on the body. Eight pounds sounds right.


Before the days of people watching movies many times. Speaking of that I think I'm going to go watch Wreck it Ralph. That is a great disney movie. Goodnight!


There's a sequel to that, I believe. Have fun! Good night!


Yes. You'd think they'd be cold too. I guess the ice isn't that bad though. Otherwise basketball players would complain when they cover the ice for them to play.


I expected tthat the court would get cold, but maybe there's insulation over something.


There must be. Since you don't watch hockey do you like football?


I do like football, but I usually watch around playoff time.


ESPN does such a good job with their football broadcasts. They even won an emmy for creating that superimposed line. Every other network copies it now.


It was an improvement, but I wonder if it deserved an award. I guess sports networks operate by a different standard.


I'm sure the guy who made it is happy. NFL is so much newer then other sports leagues. As recently as the 60s bowlers would make twice as much as football players.


I think college ball was probably the big thing in those days. And TV might not have had the following yet.


I watch a lot of Netlfix. How about yourself?


That's amazing. I will have to look into those. Did you know what inspired Reed Hastings to start Netflix?


He got a $40 late fee from a video store on a VHS copy of Apollo 13.


HAHA - that's crazy! Do you like Google?


Same here. Typing askew in Google will make the page titled....LOL


Oh wow. There are so many neat little hidden things on their home page. Did you know that Google once used hundreds of live goats to mow their lawns instead of hiring people?!


Definitely! Google's datacenter electricity is about .01% of total worldwide electricity use?


That seems like a lot when you are looking at it worldwide.


Hello - I also watch a lot of Netflix. I have a free account through T Mobile.


Were you aware that they didn't start their streaming service until 2007? How far they have come!


Oh wow I didn't know that. Did you know Netflix has a movie that is an hour long about a fireplace for your home?


I have turned on the Yule log video at Christmas if that is what you are referring to. I'm also surprised that they didn't start making their own content until 2012. It seems like they have a new property every day now.


Did you know Netflix employs a team of taggers who are paid to watch Netflix and tag the content.


I did not but I would absolutely love to have that job. I love Netlfix and I love organizing things. It seems like the dream job.


In European markets, Netflix will monitor illegal downloads.


Wow! I honestly don't even know how one would perform illegal downloads from Netflix. Did you know that Blockbuster could have bought Netflix for $50 million and turned it down?


I didn't know that! Netflix has almost 150 movies available with a 100% rating on rotten tomatoes.


All the time, it's running my life can't get anything done with out it. You?


I definitely use it way more than I need to. Even so I'm just learning dumb things like the 3 horizontal line menu on apps and websites is called a hamburger button. Weird.


Very weird! Apparently there is a copy of the internet in the Alexandria library.


Why would they need to keep a copy of it?


I don't know how they can because it's living...constantly changing and evolving, you know.


Yeah. Maybe they were afraid the internet burned down.


Yeah and that makes sense right! they have 3g cell service at the top of Everest.


Seriously? So you can climb a mountain and still be connected. I'm not sure if I love it or hate it.


Yeah i guess it doesn't matter because the mountain won, i'm not going up there. You know 7% of ppl read the terms and condition on internet purchases.


Yeah. I'm not either. And I never read that stuff. I see enough of it though I'm sure I'm addicted to online as constant novelty from clicking links on the internet can cause real addiction measurable in the brain.


Now that's a little scary. Yeah i'm part of the 93%ers as well my friend. Nice chatting with you.


Not a fan but it's fun to watch with the wife. Until we both are terrified, lol.


Yeah, I bet. Although I've heard you can burn 180 calories watching a horror film.


Still not that interested but i have seen some that weren't bad. like 28 day later and 28 weeks later.


I've not seen those. I know if you watch a horror movie before viewing abstract art you will enjoy the art more.


I'm thinking you would probably enjoy looking at anything different. Danny boy from the shining apparently didn't know he was in a horror film till years later.


Well that's interesting. That movie is creepy! But I guess everyone has a view. Stephen King was terrified as a child when he saw Bambi.


Yeah i don't understand that but maybe it was his inspiration, he is the king of horror.


Yeah. I don't get it. I'll have to look it up online. Do you use the internet a lot?


I'm sure there have been many dandies! I bet Winston Churchill wasn't in that since he won a nobel prize in literature.


Yes he did not earn a peace nobel prize!


You would have thought that is what it was for! I sometimes wonder what sound frequency causes fear in us?


Wow, I guess they use those frequencies in suspense and terror movies! but did you know we could re-grow a rib


That is crazy that we can! I wish we could regrow hair lol, and vitamin C but we can't, but everything else can!


That would be awesome! The rib we could grow in 2 to 3 months, there must be something to regrow hair, we just have to discover it!


I agree! We need to get on the immortal life like a breed of jellyfish is!


That is amazing! and about sea creatures, did you know only the seahorse has a neck?


That is hard to imagine with all of the breeds out there, but very cool! Fish are just crazy!


Did you know that there is a difference how fresh water and salt water fishes drink water?


Hi, yes I like to read both Fiction and not fiction, what about you?


Isn't it something with osmosis? I'm going to look more into that. Have a great day!


I'm into non-fiction more than anything. I wonder what types of books the FDA burned back then.


Wow, they really did a big act of censorship, it was six tons of books


That is one big stack of books! I wish I could have watched the olympic events of literature back in the day!


That is right along with music and painting!! And it was until last centuries!!


That is so crazy! I didn't even know romantic kissing was a fairly recent development in literature! Where have I been!


Wow, And it was not mentioned frequently in greek literature


Those stories were still amazing though even without that haha. I wonder if they ever wrote about humans losing their body hair 240,000 years ago?


LOL who knows!! but I found crazy that there is  a contest to come up with the worst opening sentence of a novel


Hello there, do you listen to the radio much these days?


I can see that, I think it is time to make it illegal for those pay gaps to exist.


Agreed. Another study found only 28% of workforce in recording are women.


Yeah it sounds like the problem isn't just the pay either.  It sounds like women are subjected to daily things as well.


Yes. I have read that even when women are recording in studio they are told things like they don't need headphones as they will mess up their hair!


Exactly! I wouldn't want to have to listen to that type of stuff if I was a woman!


It stinks! So anyway, talking about radio, Jupiter has storms so strong that they can be picked up and heard by an AM radio!!


That is incredible!  Did you read about how soldiers used to make their own radios?


No! That's great! So similar to radio are phones. Ddi you know that New York's area code is 212 because it was quickest to dial on a rotary phone?


I think I heard that before, very interesting.  I wonder about all of the original workers putting up those telephones lines way up high, must have been dangerous.


I would say so! But no more dangerous than playing guitar. I have heard that when Eddie Van Halen recorded the guitar solo for "beat it" he set the studio speakers on fire! Yikes!!


I do try to, but I have heard there are huge pay gaps.


That is awesome!  Well it was nice talking with you today, I hope you have a good day!


Yeah I'm sure there still are unfortunately.  Did you hear about the Canadian law regarding the radio?


Well I guess by law, there must be at least 40% of the music broadcasted be actual Canadian bands and acts.


I bet the Canadian artists all really love that rule.


I am sure. I sis not realize that in a survey it was found that women working in the art make 20k less on average than men.


I can believe that, it's so sad that pay gaps like that exist in most professions.


It is. A change in UK law required companies with more than 250 employees to disclose gender pay gaps. On average men made 30% more.


Hi! Are you a football fan? If so, do you have a favorite team?


I wonder if that data is ever released or if the data is used to negotiate better contracts and salary for the players, for example if the player had one of the fastest speeds in the NFL, can the agent use that as a bargaining tool?


I'm sure those guys do anything they can to make more money. So I believe Brady has one year left on his contract. Do you think that will be the end for him? I think it should be, but that's just my opinion.


So true, when you make millions, you still want to make more millions because your spending probably gets a bit lucrative. Yes, I think he'll retire, I wonder if he's going to start focusing on his diet or lifestyle brand and try to make more than his wife who happens to make double Tom Brady's salary!


I have a feeling Tom and Gisele don't worry too much about money. Maybe Tom will try relaxing and finally eat a strawberry.


Lol, I have heard about that, I wonder how many injuries and how much pain Tom Brady is in since he's on Bill Belichick's injury report every single week.


Bill Bellichick isn't the winningest coach in NFL postseason for no reason. It's very smart of him to put Brady on the injury list to make the other teams wonder.


That's an interesting way of looking at it. The duo have either won or lost the super bowl by 3 or 4 points in all six times that they played. I think I agree with the statement that Tom Brady is "one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time".


Yup Tom is the G.O.A.T.   I have never watched Games of Thrones but they call New England the lannisters of the NFL. Do you know if that's a good thing? I have no idea.


Hmm, not too familiar with that, I wonder how that nickname came to rise. Maybe it has something to do with how they treat the cheerleaders? Like the Saints cheerleaders are forbidden from eating in the same restaurant as any NFL players.


Maybe the NFL should use some of those tracking chips on the cheerleaders, lol. Well I guess we rounded out our mission and I would like to thank you for your time chatting with me.


Hello, yes I am a football fan. I do not have a favorite NFL team because I am from Michigan and the Lions haven't been performing well, but I do love U of M football. I was actually in a class at Uof M with Tom Brady back in the day. He wasn't what he is today at the time though.


Yes, I imagine lots of controversy if that were to really happen. Nice chat. Have a great day.


Oh yeah! Lions are somewhat "unheard" of these days with the focus on Patriots or some other team but UMich football on the other hand, I love rooting for them especially when they go against OSU. Tom Brady went to U of M, did the pass rusher Trey Flowers from the Patriots also attend?


Trey went to Arkansas I believe. Every year they count the Patriots out and they just turn around and win another Super Bowl. That team is a machine. Tom and Bill won't be around much longer though and then the team will start slipping.


Yeah, I couldn't agree more, though I was quite disappointed in the stale game of this year's superbowl. Which teams out of the 32 teams in the NFL do you think will be top contenders for the next superbowl?


Green Bay, Rams, New England, but I would really pay attention to Green Bay next year. There will be a spark and Rodgers knows he's getting older now too. I watch a lot of Green Bay / Viking games since they are in my division.


Totally agree, I live out here in Minnesota and throughout football season, all you see is purple everywhere. I also watch a lot of football but for some reason there's only 11 minutes of live gameplay!


There is way too much downtime in football games. College games can take four hours nowadays. I didn't know women were allowed to play in the NFL, could you imagine that! I'm always concerned about players getting hurt, especially when there are big weight disparities between players.


With only 11 minutes of live gameplay and yet I devote an entire afternoon or evenings to watching the games and then probably another hour watching highlights! Although there are no official rules against women from playing, even if they met the physical requirements, they definitely would epitomize all the controversy surrounding football and CTE brain injuries.


Yeah football has come a long way from when I was a kid. Technology has even advanced the game. They use tracking chips in the pads and even the football for raw data. There is a lot of work being done focusing on concussions.


THat does not sounds right. On another topic, do you like horses?


I love them in Iceland the horses have a fifth speed


Yes it is called a tolt and is equal to speed walking for them


Yeah. Do you know why dalmatians are associated with firefighters?


Yes they can calm down and protect horses


Yeah. CLint Eastwood is slightly allergic to horses too


that is so ironic considering he does a lot of movies with horses in them


I use it sometimes. less that 1% of people in there vote on the content though


Yeah. They have a page with the best 25 deeds done


Yes I do. DO you know what wikileaks is?


Yes the website that published secrets how the government is trying to destroy them


SO cool. Do you know how much of the land in Nevada the government owns?


Yes they own about 86% of it but most of it is desert anyways


True. Do you know of that guy that sold the Eiffel tower twice?


Yes he was good at impersonating city officials it seems


Yeah. Did you know how the Norwegians are saving the Amazon?


Yes they donated $1 billion, that is a whole lot of money


Yeah I know. The US now has a law that protects its employees from the geneva convention violations


hey there do you like baseball? Its the game that uses a ball and a bat


Haha yes I bet! I think it's interesting that the Women's World Cup higher television ratings than the World Series. I don't like soccer myself.


I would actually say I am a bigger soccer fan than Baseball.  Especially when it comes to world cups.


Yeah I don't really like either game haha. It is crazy though that the World Series actually started back in 1903, so I do respect its long history.


The cubs won the first back to back series and then didnt win again until 2016.  That is a long time.


Yeah that is a long time, and apparently the Ottoman Empire was still a thing back when they first one at haha


Wow, I guess I hadnt realized they had overlapped.  Did you hear about how they were "cursed"


yes I heard about that! Its great that they finally broke the curse and 5 million people were celebrating in the streets!


Supposedly it was one of the largest gatherings in Human history.


ya you're right, I do like that they have employed handicapped players, they have had pitchers with 4,5 and 6 fingers!


That is really cool.  I remember Jim Abbott, the one armed player.  I wonder who he played for?


I do!  And then they run around the bases, if they are lucky enough to hit said ball.


I'm not sure I havne't heard of him, but ya I also like the cubs because they, along with the braves, are the oldest MLB teams, great chat btw!


Yeah that is true. It's crazy that baseball managers can actually join in the game, that's why they wear uniforms


Yes, if they need to play for their teams, I dont know why that would happen, but it might be fun to watch!


Yeah that could be cool. It's also cool that a man found millions of dollars worth of old baseball cards in his attic haha his grandfather and put them there and I guess forgotten about them?


Maybe, I should start checking my attic and see what treasures are stored up there.  I might have an early retirement.


Haha yes I hope so! You know what is weird though? Have you ever played the game kickball, apparently it's called soccer-baseball in Canada for some reason


I guess it is a pretty accurate name too, however I much prefer kickball.


Uranium kickball sounds a lot better haha. What do you think about the Japanese? Apparently they are shocked to learn that baseball is actually America's pastime and was not invented in Japan


It is surprising, I bet they wonder why they are not invited to the world series either.


No I did not, that's very interesting. And Ender's Game was suggested for the US marine corps to read as well.


I do! One of my favorites has always been The Raven by Edgar Allen Poe.


Did you know he only received $9 for the publication of the poem?


I can't believe that! have you heard of reverse poetry? Thats where when a poem makes a certain point when reading it in one direction, but the opposite point when read in the opposite direction.


Yes I guess when poetry is read backwards it is inspiring.


Yeah. Did you know that the javanese alphabet is recited, it forms a poem?


That sounds cool. Demetri Martin wrote a 224 word palindrome poem!


That's impressive! Nearly all of the characters from the Hobbit were named after an old Icelandic poem.


Well, humans are really talented. Although there is a sound frequency that causes fear in humans.


Wow! It's been nice talking to you, have a good day!


Yes, nice talking to you too! Take care.


I do too. Did you know that reading is a form of language processing?


Oh yes, I'm sure. In the 18th Century there was a moral panic because of the spread of the reading of novels.


that's crazy! wow. I never think about there being history with reading. At one time, Cs Lewis had a competition to see who would laugh at bad poetry.


Oh, was that the competition with Tolkien too?


Oh yes! Him as well! I wonder what the winner won?


Yeah, that would be a sight to see. Do you know the world record for speed reading?


I do, actually, it's 4,700 words per minute! That's wild!


Yes, it is! Did you know Starship troopers is the first sci-fi novel on the reading lists of three of the five US military branches.


lol  LeBron signed a new deal for a "space jam" sequel.  Curious to see how that will hold up to Michael Jordan's original one.


Yes hopefully Michael Jordan makes a cameo in that movie. He is smart at business though. He rejected a 10 million dollar offer from Reebok only to accept a $90 mil dollar offer from Nike a year later


He was only 18 then I think?  When LeBron was in high school some of the games would attract 1750 fans and the tickets cost from $100 to $200.


Crazy! People were wanting to pay for tickets to see him even back then, I think it's funny that people marked his posters down and sold them for $17.41, because that was the year that Benedict Arnold betrayed the United States LOL


lol  After the decision!  He raised 6 million dollars for charity by televising that.


That was nice of them at least. He seems very smart too, he has a photographic memory apparently and can remember exact in game scenarios


I believe that.  Switching topics....Did you ever have the Nintendo system that could only display 54 colors?


No I didn't know that. I also didn't know that the e in Chuck-E-Cheese stood for entertainment LOL that's really weird


I never knew that!  Interesting!  Bill Nye the science guy got his big break by winning a Steve Martin lookalike contest.


That is impressive! Did you ever hear about the famous Atari video game landfill? Apparently there's a Canadian company that will be Excavating it and then creating a documentary about it


Hey there I do like basketball. Do you think that Kobe Bryant should end his retirement and play basketball with LeBron James by the way?


Hmm...that is interesting. I will have to look that up.  It was nice chatting with you!


I don't think so. I think Kobe wouldn't cut it.  He was pretty rough his last year in the league.  LeBron should try to win with Lonzo Ball.


Yes I think he would probably get blown out but it would be cool to see, what do you think about Tim Duncan staying in college instead of going into the NBA immediately?


It would be cool to see.  I'm sure they would play well together.  If they both were at the top of their games, hands down they would be awesome.  I tip my cap to him for passing up all that money to go to college.


Yep that was a brave thing to do. It's shocking that 80% of NFL players go bankrupt after retiring for only two years


Wow.  I don't know how they can burn through that money.  Ex-NBA player Allen Iverson will never have to worry about that after he signed a lifetime endorsement deal with Reebok.  He gets $800,000 a year until he reaches the age of 55 to where at that time he will receive a lump sum $32 million dollar payment.


That's very impressive! he'll never have to worry about money, do you think that NBA games should be on Christmas day? I don't think that the coach stan van Grundy should have been fined for suggesting that


I don't mind them and kind of like it.  I agree he shouldn't have been fined.  But, at the same time I can see his point of view.  Him and the players would probably want to be home with their families.  Physicists proved that shooting granny style is the best technique to use at the free throw line. lol


That is really crazy. I want to see LeBron James and Kobe Bryant doing a granny shot shootout LOL


Very cool. Michael Jackson has a patent on one of his dance moves since it uses an object to let him lean very far to the side.


MJ was a great dancer, funny fact about him but he wasnt the one that created the moonwalk


I did not know that about the moonwalk. Do you know who created it?


It was perfomed by Bill Bailey first back in 1955, this fact came as a suprise to me as well


Very surprised. Did you know babies instinctively dance when they hear music?


I didnt hear about that, well if parrots do I guess its not suprising babies do too,,


I do, I listen to it every day, do you like it?


I love the radio and also listen to it everyday.


Amazing how a radiostation translates solar activity into sound! how is that even possible


I agree. It was really good chatting with you.


I'm not very good at it. Did you know Bruce Lee was also a great dancer?


I didnt know that, was he? the martial artists? same guy?


He was a martial artists. Very famous guy.


I see, did he ever won a dancing contest as well?


I saw he did back in 1958. Did you know professional ballet dancers can go through 4 pairs of shoes a week.


Thats a lot of shoes, they must spend a fortune only in them, you know that parrots can also dance! how cool is that


I agree. I didn't know that about parrots. That's pretty hilarious.


Yeah they are able to dance perfectly with music, fun fact they can mimic the music and also speak it


I own one, can't believe they have been around since like 1908 or even earlier


cars? yeah, benz created the first one. ford made his model A or T or something in 1908.


if you had a car would you equip it with a flame thrower?


it depends. it could be useful in some cities. maybe get me some better, faster service at the drive thru. You?


I heard it is legal in South Africa, they must have a lot of car jackings. I love drive thrus lol, I think Mcdonalds created the first one


SA sounds like a crazy place. I wonder how many cars have throwers, and how much it costs to get one installed.


right and how dangerous it is and what the mortality rate is lol


Do pedestrians get flamed? what about other weaponry? it seems limited to just use flames.


But you're right, equip that on your car and go through the drive thru and you will get your food so fast, lol. It was so nice chatting with you!


It was great chatting! Have a good evening!


YAY! Were back in business! How are you? No, I hate swimming ! LOL i am terrible at it. how about you?


You too, enjoy more social chats, they're back... for now!


That is what I am thinking, this stinks lol! I am terrible too, butI wonder if I wore a swimsuit (for guys) that Is banned I would be better.


Yeah, it is good to be back in business. Anyways, swimsuit? you could give me a jetpropelled swimsuit and i would still suck LOL


lol, me too. I don't know how people get so good at swimming. Did you know at Cornell you need to pass a basic swim test to graduate? I don't get why lol


I bet that the founder or some rich alum insisted that students pass. i think that mit has the some thing.


wow, that is crazy, I guess if youre smart you will learn how to swim


I learned how to swim, but always felt like work, like i should be paid to do it. i preferred running.


I agree, I prefer driving in my car lol, you own one?


I do not at the moment. i had used cars in the past. you?


And it was named after a major ideology of the american revolution.


It's interesting that the Voting Right Act of 64 led to a shift in the party's base. I wonder if there are more beards in the Republican party now.


If mormons have beards than probably! Did not know mormons are heavily republican.


I suppose they are socially and economically conservative.I did not know that blue and red for the parties started in 2000.


And the republican party was aligned with Christian conservatism by 2000.


Yes, the religious aspect of the party has changed its character. I wish politics were driven by social concerns, not religious ones.


No, not really. I think there are issues that members of both parties need to address for the middle and working classes, who have been split by religious issues. The social issues do not get resolves, as a result. Did you know that Trump is not one of the three richest presidents?


Did not know that. I thought he would be.


Well, I enjoyed chatting with you! I hope you vote in the 2020.


Sometimes I follow politics. What about you?


Same here! Voters in North Virginia seemed to really support Hilary 2 years ago.


The political winds change direction so rapidly some times. I wonder how Virginia will vote in the 2020.


I have no idea what will happen. I think people underestimated Trump's popularity last time, so I won't do that this time.


Same here! I did not know the republican party was referred to as the grand old party!


The GOP. Part of a two-party system that needs new parties.


Cool!  Isn't weird how some child actors or actresses don't even know what kind of movie they are in.  Like The boy from the Shinning never knew it was a scary movie.


I've never seen it.  I would probably poop myself.


It is a pretty scary movie.  Did you know some of the zombie sounds eating humans in Walking Dead are just made by a man eating friend chicken.


I never understood why people like horror movies.   I don't like them one bit.


Maybe they like feeling the thrills and chills.


I suppose it must be something like that.  Well, to each his own I guess.  Did you read the part in the third section about helium?


Yes, but sometimes we do not get the same stuff.


It's a strange assortment of information this time


Its so weird how the earth has changed,  when it was first formed each day would only be about 5 hours long!  That is so short!


Well, keep in mind that was several billion years ago.


lol Yeah I guess mission accomplished on their part!  Did you know stephen kings first horror movie was Bambi?  (in his opinion Bambi was a horror film )lol


Yeah!  lol It was more sad than scary for me.


Oh I thought you meant that Steven King wrote Bambi.  I see what you mean now.


Oh lol oops,  I guess I didn't explain that correctly lol no Bambi is a Disney movie lol


Well yes.  Walt Disney was a nut too, come to think of it.


Did you know you can burn 180 calories watching horror films?


Well yes, I just read that in the box next to this.


Hello, How are you today? Do you like to go to concerts?


Oh Wow! Really, Did the dogs like it? Was it recorded?


I have no idea. I'm sure that someone has video of it. Do you enjoy  the music of the Foo Fighters


Oh yes, I love them. I love the video of all the drummers and other instruments playing at the same time. People came from all over the world to be in that.


They are pretty amazing. They performed a concert so loud that it showed up on New Zealand's seismic monitors!


Yes, I heard that. That band has alot of talent.


They definitely do. How about Abba. Do you know their work?


Yes, I can remember some of their music. I didn't know MJ had a patent on a device to achieve the lean for his dance moves.


Well they turned down 1 billion dollars for a reunion tour. I can't believe they still have enough money to have been able to do that. I didn't know that about Michael Jackson either. I knew he had to have some kind of help to perform that move.


Really, I wonder why they would turn it down? Yeah its obvious not possible without. Good chat!!


Before you go, I just want to share that there was an episode of Mr. Rogers where he learned how to breakdance. That's so out of character.


Yes, so out of character. Can't imagine that! lol


Yeah, same here!  Creed gave a concert so bad there were lawsuits against the band.


Ha ha. I hate to see bad things happen to people but as someone who is not a Creed fan I find that hilarious.


I don't know much about that band. The sound  in the ancient roman amphitheater must be good for Pink Floyd to record in it without an audience.


I wonder why they did that. It would be such a beautiful place to be an audience member.


Yes, I like the live albums.The ancient roman amphitheatre still has concerts.


Yes, I am. I have heard a few of his songs.


In 2010 he and his wife held a high frequency concert for dogs. What an odd thing to do.


Hi there! Are you old enough to remember life before the internet?


Give her time. She'll pass him. I know I'm old when I'm wistful for dead celebrities, like Robin Williams.


I liked him too. It was extremely sad to find out how and why he died.  I guess you just never know about people.  He seemed so happy, energetic, especially when he did animated films.


He was already animated. I also miss Carol Burnett, her variety show was hysterical and she didn't put on airs. She was the first celebrity to go on Sesame Street, which shows how down to earth she was.


She probably did not go into Pixar's secret room that is just for celebrities.


Yeah, that's sort of an obnoxious room to have. Bet you Zuckerberg has DOZENS of rooms for celebrities. All painted blue because he can't see red or green.


I've heard that about him.  It's the whole reason facebook is blue. I guess his wishes carried more weight than the guys that made the site with him.


I'll bet you MySpace is kicking themselves for not buying it back in 2005. What was that guy's name? Tom?


I don't know but I'm sure you are right.  Facebook is valued at $104 billion, or it was back in 2012 at least.


And they make money off our data. Pretty much legally. Because 93 percent of people don't read the terms of service and I'm sure it says right in there "by using Facebook, we own you. Forever.


Hahaha! It probably does at that!  Some places are taking small stands against facebook.  There's a state in germany that has made the like button illegal.


I suppose so. It is odd to think that there was life before this.  In a way it was good. You weren't constantly being filmed or photographed, monitored by others.  Are you old enough to remember?


We should be like Germany in that regard.  Nice chatting with you!


We definitely should.  Don't forget, get we should get our burgers from burger king too!


Yes. Most definately. You couldn't just Google something to solve an argument. You argued with your friends for DAYS. Ha. Now you can get cell service on Mt. Everest so you don't have to argue about whether or not Brad Pitt ever appeared in an episode of Friends.


Hahaha! True.  I think that the fact that cell and internet service is way up there is totally amazing.  I guess back in the day people weren't addicted either.  I mean, we didn't have the whole novelty of clicking anything.


Flipping through microfiche in the library doesn't produce the same rush. Now I would LOVE to abandon Facebook. I've been on it since 2006, just two years after it started and I'm sucked in and can't lave.


I know what you mean there. I think about leaving and then wonder if I'll miss something important posted by family and friends.  Mark Zuckerberg and his friends definitely knew what they were doing when the launched it back in the day.


I need it for work, which makes it twice as terrible. I'm pretty good about unfriending people. You know that Burger King promotion where they offered a free whopper if you unfriended 10 people? They owe me like 8 whoppers now.


I didn't know that but I think it's an interesting promotion.  I mean, what will people give up to get that free burger?


Apparently, I'd give up all my friends! The rise of the internet has also given us internet "celebrities," which is another reason to hate it.


Even still, Lebron James is the highest paid celebrity of them all you know.  Just under him is Judge Judy.


I wonder why they consider it a biohazard


Maybe its their way of fighting tobacco use?


I would like to see the computer built with just blocks from minecraft.


How is that even done?!?!?  I thought that was just a video game.  It is like game inception, a game with in a game.


There are a group of people that want to upload their minds to computers, they are part of the Transhumanists.


It does, I was listening to a podcast that mentioned the group when talking about the possibility of other intelligent life


it sounds like something from starship troopers, which seems weird that the military read it.


It is, they also have Enders Game on the list.  Have you read either?


Good!  You?  Do the stars fascinate you?


No but I saw the films which I guess is not the same


Ive only read Ender's Game.  It was pretty good.  I do believe the movie did it justice.


I will have to check them out, it was nice chatting to you


I do , its apparently one of the oldest natural sciences. So i guess we have always be fascinated by stars.


Astronomy also lead to the creation of wifi!  I didnt know that!


Neither did I, and the early space shuttle had only 1 mb of ram.


Thats pretty crazy to think what they were able to do with that!


But I do want a computer than runs on water like the russians created.


Why havent we exploited that technology?  It seems so efficient.


I also did not know smoking by apple products voids the warranty


Good thing I dont smoke!  I love my apple products.  I hear that is because they think it is a bio-hazard.


I understand the math on that but it just seems crazy. I want to take a break from technology on my next vacation.


It is nice to get away from it. People are glued to their phones it ridiculous. When I have family over almost everyone is using their phone instead of having a conversation. Haha I sound old, but people need to put their phones down. Lol


I agree. I teach and the kids need the stimulant. Everytime there is a break, they are on their devices.


Wow, I bet. I'm not looking forward to the day when my kids have cell phones.


Me neither!I am pretty fearful of the bullying they might get or give. Kids can be so mean!


Yes, they can be brutal. And you can try your best but your can't censor everything they will find a way. Did you know that FB has over 50 gender options?


50! I know there is now some grey (non-binary) but 50! Not all men had the right to vote until 1918. I wonder who couldn't vote...


58 to be exact, idk what they could be. A dog beat two people in a mayoral election and was mayor for 13 years.


Is that better than Austin Tx naming their garbage dump after Fred Durst?


haha, A chimpanzee came in third in a mayoral election in Rio. He did not win, he came in third. Why do people want animals to be in political offices?


Some people may say that we have animals in office in America! I personally think so!


I just use my wife's account, I don't really use FB much.


I need it for work but man do I dislike it. I used to love it but now I can see myself without it. I took a serious break from it beginning January 1 and do not miss it. I have to jump on occasionally for work but I jump right off.


We have strict rules at work concerning social media. I just couldn't be bothered. I check in on my kids school stuff and family photo's I'm good with that. Did you know that 33% of divorce filings have the word facebook in them?


I wonder how many now have snap chat in it... I get irritated with them selling our info and affecting elections. Cant be irresponsible and then sell our stuff.


I know like they don't make enough money all ready. FB is worth over $100 billion.


I cannot believe Iceland is using it to rewrite their constitution. What are they thinking?


Wow that is crazy, there are more FB users that there were people 200 years ago.


Hello there, are you a Michael Jackson fan?


That is very impressive, did you know he was a really big Simpsons fan?


Yes, in fact, he wrote the hit song "Do the Bartman" so he was a massive Simpson fan.


That is awesome, did you ever see the episode where he was part of?  The Lisa it's your birthday one?


Yes, I remember that one.  Another interesting fact about Michael Jackson is that Eddie Van Halen played the iconic guitar solo in "Beat It" and Eddie did it for a favor and free of charge.


That is very cool, I think Eddie is an excellent guitarist as well.


Jackson became the first artist in history to have a top ten single in the Billboard Hot 100 in five different decades when "Love Never Felt So Good" reached number nine in 2014.


Wow, another impressive feat for the king of pop.  That is quite a run.


Yes, did you also know that babies spontaneously dance when they hear music?


I think I have heard that before, I think babies start moving while hearing it still in the womb.


Even Tupac danced ballet in high school and ended up portraying the Mouse King in his high school production of the Nutcracker.


Absolutely. I love Michael. His contributions to music, dance, and fashion along with his publicized personal life made him a global figure in popular culture for over four decades.


He was really talented all around.  Well it was nice talking with you, I hope you have a good day.


Same here, he was the king of pop in his prime.


Not only that, he was very inventive.  He had a patent on a device used to achieve the extreme lean in some of his dance moves.


He really was, that is awesome, and probably necessary when everyone is trying to copy your moves.


No doubt.  Did you know that Michael Jackson helped write the soundtrack for Sonic 3?


No I didn't, that is a very unusual fact to be honest.


Michael is the third best selling music artist of all time only behind the Beatles and Elvis Presley.


That is one heck of a group of company to have.  I wonder how much bigger he would have gotten if he were still alive making music?


That's hard to say. Jackson won hundreds of awards, making  him the most awarded recording artist in the history of popular music.


Hi, do you want to talk about television, Star Wars, or XBox?


I never saw any Thomas shows in black and white although there could have been some that I didn't know about. Are you a Star Wars fan? I love Star Wars, that epic space opera franchise created by George Lucas and centered around a film series from a 1977 movie.


Oh yes.  I used to work right near Lucas Studios!    That is more than a franchise, it is a cult!


I can only imagine. Did you know that James Earl Jones spent only  2.5 hours recording all of Darth Vadar's lines for Star Wars and was paid $7,500?


Wow, Personal Fun Fact.  George Lucas used to go to work with his Laborador as his sidekick so he make Chewbaca from his dog.  I had a black Lab and named him Wookie before I knew that!


That is too funny and awesome!  Did you know that in 2018, the total value of the Star Wars franchise was estimated at US$65 Billion and it is currently the fifth highest grossing media franchise? So like you said, it's achieved cult-like status.


Even going so far as to dub it in Navajo!


Yes, I heard that makes Star Wars the first major film to be dubbed in a native American language.


20th Century Fox thought it was going to flop...how crazy


Yes, and that decision made George Lucas a billionaire and cost Fox billions as well. What a mistake that was.


I am sure George's wife Maria is happy about that!


Ok. Television is a medium used for transmitting moving images in two or three dimensions and sound. The term can refer to a television set, a television program, or the medium of television transmission.  Or, of course, just TV for short.


I hear the English call it the tele lol.


Yes, or telly. Yes, I used to watch more TV than I do now but I've put my time in.  Did you ever watch Pokemon?


I cut mine but I still stream.  I have seen a couple of Pokemon episodes out of the 750.


Yes, back in the early day, I used to watch That 70's Show all the time. I heard that they made a remake of in the UK and called it "Days Like These" but it was cancelled after only 10 episodes.


Serves them right for copying a tele show haha.


It might have lost something along the way but who knows?  Another show I watched years ago was Thomas the Tank Engine.  It had an all-star cast of voices like Ringo Starr, George Carlin, and Alec Baldwin.


Were any of those shows in monochrome or black and white?


Are you a tennis fan? I have to admit I do not know much about Maria Bueno. She played in a time I am not too familiar with.


With it being a lot different time back then she probably had to find some other form of employment to make money. I doubt they had big prizes or marketing campaigns.


That is a really good point.  Tennis is important to some people though. I've heard that back in the 1960s a helicopter was used to dry the tennis court for a us open match.


I'd imagine that it's way more popular worldwide than it is in the United States. A lot of the top players these days are from countries other than the US.


You are probably right.  Wimbledon is the biggest match that I know of and I think it is England.  Supposedly, it's a huge deal to play and win there.


Yes and it's full of a lot of age old traditions. To compete at Wimbledon you have to basically wear all white. People have been fined and suspended for breaking that rule.


Wow, that is very strict.  Perhaps the powers that be of Wimbledon are trying to keep with traditions set long ago.  Did you know that tennis matches can go on for days?  I heard that the longest one lasted three days and over a period of 11 hours.


Yes I remember there being a recent match that went on for a long time. They kept having to suspend the match because it got late in the day. That would be crazy to participate in and watch.


It really would.  i guess a person could do a lot of reading in between matches.  It would be ironic though to read at Wimbledon. There are no laws with reading.


That might help you get through the 11 hour long matches though!


That's true enough! Unless you are a speed reader like anne Jones. She set the record for speed reading by reading 4700 words a minute.


I don't know much about tennis at all and I have never heard of Maria Bueno.  What years did she play tennis?


She could get through a whole library during that time! It's been fun talking tennis with you, hope you check out Wimbledon sometime.


Perhaps i will.  I'd like to learn more about Maria Bueno and other tennis stars.


There are also other great tournaments like the US Open, French Open, and Australian Open.


She played in the 1950s and 1960s. I wasn't even born yet. She recently passed away due to cancer.


That's sad.  Was she any good?  Did she ever play and win at Wimbledon?


She did play in Wimbledon and in fact won 3 singles titles. With that many wins I'm surprised she isn't brought up more.


Wow, that's true.  I would think they would mention her on tennis shows and competitions.  Seems like announcers would make comparisons with her and new players.  The only female tennis player from back in the day that I've ever heard of is Billie jean King.


I know the Williams sisters have dominated modern tennis but Bueno own 19 Grand Slam events in various formats and she was ranked first overall in multiple years.


I wonder why it is so quiet about her.  She sounds like she may have been the Serena Williams of her day.  Do you know what happened to her after she stopped playing tennis?


Unfortunately I do not, only that she became ill and passed away.


Oh well. I wondered if she stayed in tennis in some way or just disappeared from the scene entirely.  I think she wasn't American. I wonder if she moved back to her home country.


I did and I really loved it, it was great, and you?


Yes me too. It is the highest grossing origin superhero movie


Yes and also the highest grossing WWII movie too


Yes. And also one of the three top grossing with a female lead


Nice. Did you know Gal Gadot was in the Israeli defense forces


So cool. When she was auditioning she did not know it was for wonder woman


Yes she thought it was for catwoman instead


Yes. Did you know the wonder woman was first introduced as a secretary?


Yes that was back in 1941 but she has made her way through now


Yes I do. Do you know who is the star of box office?


Yes it is Tom Hanks with over $8.5 billion overall


Yeah that is awesome. Did you know Disney considered closing their studio once?


Yes after Sleeping Beauty totally flopped in box office


Yeah I am glad they kept going though, they have made some awesome movies


True . Do you know how much Trojan cost to make?


Yes it was a staggering $15 million and made only over $309


That was a huge loss on behalf of the studio, sadly


Hi there ! Looking forward to chat with You !


Maybe he still needed some pointers on how to get really good at it ?


I am hoping he wins his 5th title this year.


wow... for an athlete... he doesn't think about retirement ?


There were thoughts he might have before this season but I am thinking maybe this is his last season but who knows but him


With the money he already made I would retire long time ago ;) but that's just me ;)


Me too; His wife is a supermodel and rich in her own right too.


Lucky bastard... must be nice to have it all ;) lol... now I'm depressed...


I don't like many of the new rookie QBs like Baker Mayfield


Why what's wrong with them ? lazy primadonnas ? :)


I will be rooting for my favorite QB this weekend for sure!


Not really, I'm from Europe - I prefer soccer :) You're NFL fan ?


Not really, they all look the same to me ;) do You ?


Yeah, now wherever I go people say his name... is he really that good ?


Many say he is the greatest of all time but he sat the bench in high school


No, I don't think his coach recognized his talent back then.


Hello. Its pretty cold today. It makes me wonder whether more of the earth's polar regions are covered with ice today.


Well, for one, Helium makes up a large portion of our atmosphere. I do know that. And Helium helps to keep things floating so I can only imagine the impact will be negative!


I'm just thinking about how our atmosphere works... I', no expert but I think its safe to say that the absence of Helium could come at a high cost.


I agree. I had no idea that it was that precious.


Yessss!! I guess we could gain more insight about what the future holds for humanity by reading the bible. Did you know that the bible is the biggest selling non-fiction book ever printed? That's pretty impressive!


I did. George W bush read 41 biographies of lincoln. That's crazy! I do not think Lincoln knew that much about himself.


That's funny!! And probably true!! He also read 186 historical nonfiction books!! That's a lot of knowledge!


Yeah, I can barely read and here he is showing off reading that much@


I hear ya!! Jack London lived as a poor down and out pauper and still managed to write a book about exposing the gap between the rich and the poor. So there's always hope!! Keep at your reading... and you'll get better!


I hope! I have written a lot so I hope it all comes together!


I know it is freezing... in Chicago it is near -24. So cold!


I do too!!! Well, its been good talking to you. I have to get going. Have a great day. Goodbye!


Wow!! Its definitely a good day to stay in and catch some movies. Speaking of movies, Black Panther has the richest superhero out there, worth $500 billion!


That's a lot of money. They are re-releasing th emovie for free from February 1 - 7 for african american month...


Wow!! Thats amzinzing. I know there was a lot of confusion when the movie was first released...many people confused it with the black panther party.


Yeah, they are a lot different. T'challa is the richest superhero/


That's interesting! You know, there's a lot that we can do with this extra day off with the cold and all...we have the whole day to indulge. Did you know that when the Earth was first formed, a day was only 5.5 hours long?


I had no idea. I do know that I am working on this cold day and worked out this morning. It has been a cold day!


Yes it has. The weather and the earth's atmosphere is forever changing. By the 21st century, we anticipate running out of Helium. That's going to significantly impact human life...scary!!


How is it going to impact humans> I am curious to know more!


is good k tell for you boring character for this book


That's fine. We can't all like the same things, right? My favorite is Eeyore.


Thank you! Hey, did you know the Christopher Robin movie was made by The Walt Disney Company?


OK you most favorite for other anyone books


Sure! I know Disney publishes a lot of books every year, too. It's a huge corporation.


iam always  like  action story is my favorite


I enjoy action stories, too. Do you like action movies as well? I've seen some great ones on Netflix.


yes i watch for more than action movies for Netflix


I really love Netflix's streaming service. It's so convenient! What's the last movie you watched on Netflix?


yes you are really correct friend Netflix is good for always


Absolutely. Hey, friend, I've got to run, but it was great talking to you!


thank you friend i really happy for talking for you


Do you mean the film Christopher Robin? I enjoyed it very much. Have you seen it?


iam really enjoyed for chat for you and you happy  chating for me


Thank you! I find it fascinating that the original Winnie-the-Pooh books were based on a real boy, the author's son. Did you know that?


I agree! And I loved how the Christopher Robin movie brought the characters to live through a mix of live action and computer animation.


yes in this book is so interesting character also and nice book


Do you have a favorite Winnie-the-Pooh character?


How's it going, did you know the 3 horizontal line menu on webpages is called a hamburger button?


nope, cloudy and cold. It's crazy the Sun is 99.86% of the total mass in the Solar System


Isn't that wild? Sunny here, but cold too. I wish we could harness the energy from the sun. It would be free for all!


Yea, one second of energy from the sun could meet the Earth's energy needs of 500,000 years


That would be so nice, especially right now! Free heat! Although the sun is big, it's only 1 billionth the size of the biggest ever found.


A lightning bolt is 5x hotter than the sun, I wonder if people can harness that energy


That would be wild! Do you listen to the radio while you work?


Not really but I'd love to try and pick up Jupiters radio storms on an am radio


I would love to hear that too. In canada they radio stations have to play 40% of their music by canadian singers. So justin beiber should do well!


I think I'd rather listen to the all latin broadcast of nuntii latini.


Did you know soldiers made a simple radio from a razorblade and a pencil? in the foxhole too!


I did not! Do you know why it's called that?


That sound awesome. Well I got to go, nice talking with you


I guess whoever created the menu was really craving a hamburger at the time


Good answer! I'm craving one myself now! I do know that constant clicking on buttons can turn into a addiction.


Yea I mean now you can even click on things at the Peak of Mt. Everest using 3g cell service


Well, I only get 1g here, so I would be in wonder at the peak of Mt. Everest!


That sucks, I wonder how long it would take to load the saved copy of the internet at the Library of Alexandria with 1g


I probably could not do it. At night pictures wont load here at all. Do you read the full terms when buying a product?


No I'm definitely not one of the 7% of people who read the full terms after buying something online


I try! Do you have sunny weather today where you are?


I look sometimes, but I also don't buy a lot of stuff that needs a ToS.


For sure lol. Did you know if you go to Mt Everest you will have cell and internet availability?


I did, I hear you can get 3g up there, right?


For sure! I still won't go lol, I will take my 3g elsewhere


Did you know there was a fantasy draft for the national spelling bee?


I want part of that! Fantasy football is getting old, lol! Do you do any fantasy leagues?


It is, I don't play though. There is also a fantasy congress, sounds boring to me.


For sure, that would be really boring. do you like fantasy stories?


I do, but I don't see a lot of them in the movies or in other places either. What about you?


I like seeing mostly fantasy stories, good chatting with you!


I used one a long time ago. my grandma had one, you?


I have. Did you know that 212 is the fastest number to dial?


I didn't know that, isn't that New Yorks area code?


Yeah, it is. Did you know that an iPhone has more computing power than the entire US Nuclear ICBM deterrent.


wow, that is awesome and a great feat! Did you know dolphins can talk on the phone and know who they are talking to?


No, I didn't know that, that can't be true.


I would love you look it up on the internet, I wonder if they have videos.


I'm not sure. Did you know that only 7% of people read the terms of service for internet products?


I am one of the other 93 percent, I can't remember the last time I looked at the terms lol


I think I read that, I wonder who funds that kind of organization?


Yeah good question I'm not sure. AI is definitely good at solving puzzles though as it crushed all human records in the puzzle game "2048".


That is pretty impressive, did you know the actress Kristen Stewart once co-authored a paper on AI?


I didn't take that actress for the scientific type. I would like to attend one of Stanford's free AI classes.


Yeah same here, I think that would be very interesting to sit in on a class or two.


Very much so! I just hope machines don't become so capable that they start to perform things without commands!


Yeah and that is where it starts to get scary, especially if we give them a lot of control.


Yeah. There has to be a fine line between helping us out but not taking over. I would think that google would make a good AI. Google once used hundreds of goats to trim it's lawns instead of making people do it.


I read that before, that is so crazy!  I wonder what other people that didn't work there think of them.


Yeah I bet they think positively of them. A single google search requires more computing power than it took to send neil armstrong and 11 other astronauts to the moon. That is quite surprising.


Hey yeah I love Amazon use it all the time! Hard to believe amazon workers walk between 7 and 15 miles each day.


Holy cow, it's crazy how far tech has come.  Well it's been nice talking with you, I hope you have a good one!


Yeah I use it quite a bit myself, and it is hard to believe, I would think no more than 2 or 3.


Yea that seems more accurate. Also I was interested to know IMDB is owned by Amazon.


Yeah I didn't know that about them, I wonder how many other things they own?


Yeah good question. I respect Bezos though. He built the largest internet retailer in the world all the way back in 1994.


Yeah Bezos is a great businessman.  Did you know he built a clock into a mountain that will run for 10,000 years?


Whoa I would like to see that. The Amazon contract with USPS must explain how they are able to deliver packages so fast, even on Sundays!


Yeah I wonder how the postal employees felt when they learned that Sundays are no longer off days for all.


Yeah I bet that didn't go over so well. But only a matter of time until Artificial Intelligence will start delivering for Amazon. There is even a non profit organization for the advancement of AI.


...so I've read that the white house has twin buildings in Ireland and France... Do You know what does that mean ?


Really ? What is so special in his rap ? I could never understand that ?


i don't know how to say but  i feel hear it again this song


Any other music genres You like ? I can't stand rap... I wouldn't even call it "music"...


more rap artist is here but i love this person i\only


For any specific reason ? Voice ? Lyrics ?


Did You hear that The white house still uses floppy disks in part for storing files ?


It took the secret service four days to realize that bullets had struck the white house on november 11, 2011


did You hear George w. bush had solar panels put back on the white house ? I wonder who took them down ?


You wrote that already m8... Did You know that Eminem wanted to be a comic book artist before he became a rapper ?


yes i know i love eminem rap song i think he is a rap god


Hello, are you particularly interested in politics?


Yeah that definitely makes them seem like children at heart haha. Then again I've heard horror stories too, like once I know a senator tried to leave the chamber and was dragged back inside.


I believe that was some crazy law passed in the 80s, that allowed the Sergeant-at-Arms to force absent Senators to the Chamber for a vote.


Oh wow that's interesting. I think what I find interesting is how other people interact with the Senate. Like Michael Jordan had his famous, controversial reason as to why he wouldn't endorse a Black Democratic candidat.


Just another Republican I don't want to be around, haha!


Ahah fair. So are you interested in individual presidents at all?


I wish I knew more about the first Zimbabwe president, President Banana. He seems like an interesting guy!


Ahah he sounds like he'd be funny. I wonder who'd be more fun, him or the Indonesian president who released 3 pop albums while in office.


Hard to tell. Now if some of the richest presidents, like JFK or GW, could throw a party and invite everyone... That would be a good time!


Oh yeah, they would have to just remember to hold it in the guest house and not the actual White House, which is somehow smaller!


There are a lot of surprising things surrounding the White House. Like, how crazy would it be if the Vice President was actually just the runner-up to the President, like it was up until the early 1800s.


I am very interested in politics, though it's hard to stay keep up with Trump, Pence, and most of the Republican party these days.


Oh it's definitely a good thing they've changed the system since then. If not, we'd have Hillary Clinton instead of Mike Pence, which regardless of political opinion, would certainly make things confusing.


Actually, we'd have Donald Trump since Hillary actually won the election. Talk about a crazy pair... President Hillary Clinton and Vice President Trump. Who knows? Maybe crazy enough to work.


Oh yeah that's true, I forgot how the popular vote turned out. To be fair, Republicans have lost the popular vote in 6 out of the last 7 elections somehow.


Kind of says something about how the American people are feeling, huh?


Yeah, even though a lot of things regarding the Republican Party has been consistent. The last time there wasn't a Nixon or Bush on the ticket in a Republican winning election since 1928.


Another consistency is that not a lot of democrats want to be associated with Republicans. Apparently, when Harry Truman visited Disneyland, he didn't want to be photographed on the Dumbo ride because he thought it would associate him with the Republican party.


That's interesting! I wonder if something like that could happen regarding the colors red and blue. Although that's a much more recent way to signify democrats and republicans.


So crazy how recent. I feel like I remember that as I was growing up. But I also never recall a republican president with a beard, but evidently, they are the only presidents to ever have one.


Yeah that's interesting, I wonder what the stats on beards are for earlier parties. Although we'd have to go back a while to discover it, the last non Democrat OR Republican president was in 1853.


That's because the party system back then is completely different than it is now. For instance, women weren't even allowed to wear pants on the Senate floor until relatively recently.


Oh yeah the Senate is definitely interesting, they've kept a lot of things the same for a long time. They actually used the same gavel for 165 years until Nixon cracked it.


Or the candy desk? Apparently they have had a desk near the entrance since 1968, where a senator will sit with a full drawer full of candy.


Hello. Do you like the Star Wars movies?


No I didn't but that's neat!  I don't think I asked, but what games do you or did you play?


I played the old Super Star Wars games on the SNES, and Knights of the Old Republic on Xbox. Those games were awesome


Those sound familiar.  Yeah, the older games and movies were better.  Speaking of older, i heard that James Earl Jones only spent a little over two hours recording his Darth Vadar lines and he was paid $7500.  I imagine he'd make a lot more if he were doing that today.


he probably would make no less than 100k a day! that voice is so iconic


It really is.  The Force Awakens movie just didn't do him or Vader justice in my opinion.


you see I liked Force Awakens a lot. I like Kylo Ren. its a different spin because he conflicted and not just all big bad and evil


Okay, I got my new movies mixed up. I liked kylo ren too. What I didn't like is seeing Hans Solo die if that's the right movie. The one  I meant about vadar was the new movie about a young darth vadar.


oh yea Han died in Force Awakens. did you know Star Wars is technically responsible for Titanic and Avatar existing?


James Cameron decided to join the film industry after watching star wars, he drected those 2 films


I love them! some of my favorites. how about you?


I guess Star Wars is inspiring in more ways than one!


I love them too.  I've even read some of the books and played a few star wars video games.


oh what games have you played? I used to play a lot of them but the more recent ones havent been great


Some of the older ones. I can't remember the names off the top of my head but one was a race game, where you raced in ships on different planets/tracks.


oh probably the Episode 1 podracer game. that was a goood one. I cant believe how successful its become after George Lucas made that one movie way back in the 70s


I know.  Hey, did you know that his wife worked on the movie too?  She even won an academy award.


She did some editing work on some scenes.  She worked on obi wan's death, leia's good luck kiss, and the trench run.


thats awesome. Did you know Ewan McGregors brother goes by Obi-Two?


I think Bill Murray must be so disappointed by that. What would you did in this situation: A man found three million dollars worth of 1900s baseball cards in his grandfathers attic- hidden since the 1940s.


Oh that is such a lucky chance. Did you hear about that female pitcher being banned?


When was there a female pitcher in the MLB? That sounds strange.


There was this one female who was 17 and struck out babe ruth and lou gehrig and got banned


That's quite a while ago. I guess she must have had heat or a wicked curve. Banned? I would pay to her play!


I know, so strange and discriminating. Do you know what happens if a player catches the baseball in their hat?


Isn't it an out? I thought they could catch the ball any way they wanted to.


Yeah apparently in this case the opposing team received three bases


That sounds funny. I don't remember hearing that rule. Hm. I guess it's to discourage players from showboating? When did they ever catch a ball with their cap?


I have no idea how that even came about. How about NFL, do you watch it?


Pretty well and you? do you watch baseball?


I usually watch around the playoffs. The tension is high. What about you?


Yeah me too. Like to watch the superbowl. Nice chat :)


I usually watch around playoff time. What about you?


Yeah me too. Do you know how the Albuquerque isotopes minor league team got their name?


Isotopes? Isn't that from the Simpsons or something?


Yeah exactly they took it from the team in the show


That's great! Did you know that baseball managers wear uniforms because they are technically able to play for their teams if the need arises? I wonder why this occured.


Yeah and I wonder if any of them have ever played. Cubs were the first team to win back to back world series


Then they stopped winning all together. Was there a curse involved? Do they need to get a priest for an exorcism?


I am not sure what happened but they surely have not won since then


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


lol wow.  well he obviously was never a great employee lol When south park aired its family guy episode finale the producers received flowers from the simpsons crew


lol. They even had harry potter himself  Daniel radcliffe voiced the cartoon parody of twilight's edward cullen on the simpsons episode treehouse of horror xxi


awesome,  Daniel Radcliffe is a great actor. Ringo starr, george carlin, and alec baldwin have all narrated thomas the tank engine for at least 52 episodes each


wow. Shark tank is a good  show but did you know that Most deals made on the television show 'shark tank' are never enacted thats horrible


Thats mean.  That means all the companies are making money and not their guests or contestants.


yeah it's horrible. I just learned that only one of shakespeare's plays has not been made into a movie or television sjow. the name of the play is two noble kinsmen


wow thats interesting.  Television is a mass medium for advertising, entertainment and news.


all for ratings . the womens world cup has had higher ratings than the world series


Thats interesting!  Never knew that. The ottoman empire was still in existence the last time the chicago cubs won the world series.


that is interesting. When the mets beat the red sox in the 1986 world series, many yankee fans attended the parade celebrating the mets' win, saying that "anyone who beats boston is worth coming down for."


That makes sense. I would find it interesting to see that happen. Did you know there was a 17 year old female pitcher was banned from professional baseball after she struck out babe ruth and lou gehrig in succession.


lol no I never heard that, interesting. Kickball is also called soccer-baseball in canada


thats funny why call it by two names why not come up with one name. The dodgers have lost more world series than any other team


Omg that is amazing!  Only because Im a Giants fan lol Up until 2005, a married couple, for 24 years, scheduled all 2430 major league baseball games played each year


I wonder how much they made doing that. Since you like the giants the song 'royals' by lorde was banned by two san francisco radio stations during the 2014 world series between the san francisco giants and kansas city royals


Yes,  i remember that.  I also remember the city being flooded with Royals fans. A man found three million dollars worth of 1900s baseball cards in his grandfathers attic- hidden since the 1940s.


thats wild. thought this was interesting The albuquerque isotopes minor league baseball team was actually named after the baseball team in the simpsons


Thats awesome, I love the simpsons. There is only one episode of "the simpsons" where bart neither appears, nor is mentioned


wow. Homer's job record is horrible in the first 400 episodes, he has 188 jobs.


right! that was back in 2006. You tube has a partnership program as well.


Well it's where other media sources allow certain shows to be played. Like hulu and bbc.


That's good for the viewer! The first video was about a dude talking about an elephant. Seems a little dull.


Yes it does, lol. They are the second largest search engine on the web.


They are owned by google so that makes a little sense.


Yeah that was a good purchase. Justin bieber's baby is the most disliked video on youtube.


Wow i never knew that glad they moved in another direction. Police have their own it's called blutube. Heard of it?


no. I do know that fire has had one for a long time! they use it to teach across the world. Our mistakes are your learning opportunities.


Well i guess that makes sense then. do you know what a hamburger button is?


A delicious three line button? Nice chatting with you! It's been fun!


You too thanks! In parting im a part of the 93% of ppl who do not read the terms and conditions on internet purchases, lol.


I do! I like to watch how-to videos on home repair and cooking. What do you enjoy watching on the youtube?


Mostly for ripping songs and fixing stuff like my car or computer.


That is a good use for it. I too use it for music when I want to see a musical act. Do you have a favorite genre?


Mostly instrumental now music has changed so much. You?


On youtube, a lot of Ray Lamontagne, gas light anthem, and a few others. I am usually on Spotify though.


Yeah and google bought them for a whooping 1.65 billion.


I think the founders could retire nicely on that. Geez...


I love my android phone. Are you an iphone or android fan?


I guess it's a way to preview apps. Maybe you can use a slice to see if the upgrade would work on your phone.


Oh that is pretty cool. Being able to preview things would save the time of scrolling through all the app specs. I wonder if it is rolling out with the beta version.


I think it might. Save a lot of time. Google has done amazing things for tech.


They really have. They always seem to be striving for a more seamless user experience.


Google earth is really interesting. I like using google drive too. Do you use google maps?


I do quite frequently. I wonder how long before AI is on everyone's phone?


Soon I bet! Did you know that google actually went down once? For 5 minutes!


Everyone must have been in complete panic for that 5 minutes. I know people who freak out if their internet goes down for less than a minute.


I bet! Do you know they mow google grass with goats?


I don't have a cell phone. Mush to my childrens displeasure. Do you use your android phone a lot?


They seem like a very modern company devoted to their employees. I have heard amazing things about their headquarters.


I always wanted my son to work there. He has a degree in IT. He would be great at AI


Sounds like it would be a great job for him.


I use it a ton. I'm really excited about their new operating system. It sounds like it will have fun new features.


What is the new operating system? Why are they giving a new one?


It is called android pie. They are constantly updating and trying to give customers the best service possible and correct any bugs.


That's nice! Do you know what the android pie will do differently then what you have?


From the sounds of it they are changing the navigation and the way the screen responds to combat battery drain. That is awesome for someone that has a phone that drops battery quick.


It would be terrible to have a dead battery in an emergency. That would be a good upgrade. My parents have something called Alexa at home. I wonder if they will put that tech in phones?


I think it currently is an app you can download but it would be nice to have it as an ingrained feature.


My dad is always yelling at it! He thinks it's hard of hearing! Have you heard of something called a slice?


What's your favorite sport?  How do you feel about ice hockey?


Yea damn that's a tragedy.  I can't imagine... seems like it brought a lot of people together in the grieving process.  If it's one of the national sports in Canada, I'm sure it touched many people.  I had no idea the other national sport is lacrosse, though.


I had no idea about lacrosse.  Maybe people need a safer way to travel. Travel can be by foot, bike, auto, train, boat, bus, train, or plane.  Any other way to travel?


I don't know... you basically covered them all, unless maybe hot air balloon travel.  I don't think that's too practical though.  I kind of wish the U.S. had a better public transportation in general... maybe we could follow the dutch and build some sweet buses that can go 160 mph.


I wonder if I should wear a seat-belt for a 160 mph bus.  I guess you could travel by skateboard.  But that seems like a lot of work.  Have you ever traveled with a gnome?


A bus going 160 mph would scare me I think.  Have I traveled with a gnome... like where people take pictures of the gnome in various places?  I've never done that, have you?


No.  I think gnome travel sounds like fun.  I have also never crashed on a strangers couch.  It seems odd.


Couchsurfing I have not done... back in the day when AirBnB first came out I tried that and felt super edgy, but now it's pretty normal.


So you have AirBnB.  That is interesting.  Just think that back in the day people released rabbits onto islands to provide food for future travelers.  Screw up the island eco system and travel in style.


Visit a tropical island and create an ecosystem imbalance!  Sounds like a catchy travel slogan.  Not really.


It was the way things were done. Assume we are the most important thing on the planet. Kind of funny to think that air travel was faster in the 1960's.  Burn more fuel to fly faster.  Now we slow it down.


Ice hockey is a fine sport.  Give people a hockey stick and let them fight for money.  Might add a goal and a puck to make it interesting.


That's a fact I didn't know.  I wonder why it's slower now?  Anyway, it was nice chatting with you.


Slower burns less fuel.  Back in the 1960's it was all about fast.  Now its about the bottom line.


I've only ever attended one real game, but it was intense.  It wasn't a pro game either, just an intramural match, and they were going at it!  The crowd was really going at their beers, too.


I went to a game with a chain link fence around it.  No glass.  It was funny to watch the spectators climb the fence.  In the past, hockey rinks had only one penalty box. Get thrown in the box for fighting and... keep fighting.


Haha, like a bunch of badgers with sticks and skates.  Just itching to fight.  I remember from the game I attended the sound of broken glass when someone threw a beer.  I thought you weren't supposed to have actual glass containers at events like that, but hey.


The good old days must have been something.  I would never throw a beer.  Thats a waste. In 1930, a hockey goalie had matches in his pocket.  It caught fire when hit with a puck.  Strange thing to see I imagine.


A rowdy match like that is an opportunity for everyone to blow off some steam, audience included.  I think it's nuts that Canada once score 132 goals in a competition, only allowing 3 goals in return.  Domination!


I think that hockey and religion are related in Canada.  Teams spend a great deal of time together traveling by buss.  The congregation - crowd comes together and the fight breaks out.


Yea, that reminds of that horrible tragedy where that bus crashed with a junior hockey team on board.  That was such a sad story, and I know it affected a lot of Canadians since hockey is so important to many of them.  But it became more than just a hockey story.


Yes, 15 players died.  That is a big number.  Each player new a number of other people.  A large effect on the population.  The town where the kids were from meet at the rink to grieve.


Exactly, a positive video game for a change lol.  I was reading that there was a 16 bit computer built using nothing but Minecraft building blocks, that's so interesting!


We need more positive video games like minecraft! I read that the minecraft world is bigger than Neptune! Thats insane! lol. Definitely gives kids a large area to explore!


I agree! I think it' is an awesome game. I bet Amazon get a lot of orders for Minecraft ....such a huge love of kids and adults.


I bet minecraft is one of amazons best sellers for video games and kids toys! Some adults probably even collect the toys as well! Did you know that there is a combat side to minecraft? It has everything a different video game has, but even more!


I am aware of all the aspects of Minecraft and it is amazing! I think that the founder of Amazon is brilliant, he is now the wealthiest man in the nation. They even own a publishing and film studio, just amazing.


The owner is brilliant! I had no idea that Amazon owned Imdb! I use Imdb all the time! I think its awesome how amazon has a deal with the US postal service so that customers are able to receive packages on Sunday! Not sure if any other company does that!


I know! I get Amazon packages all the time on Sunday which is awesome. I was reading that the Amazom workers walk between 7 to 15 miles per shift fulfilling orders!


They have a great job, and get exercise at the same time! I have seen one of the warehouses before and it is absolutely massive!! Can you believe the ceo of amazon built a clock in a mountain that should run for 10,000 years! They are pure geniuses.


They definitely get exercise for sure lol. And I did read about that clock and that is awesome! I need to look that up! I was just shopping on Amazon earlier today looking at childrens books because my kids love to read and Amazon has so much to choose from it is crazy, but I always find what I need!


Did you know that the world record for words read in one minute is 4,700 words!


Really?! That is fast hahaa! I read that C.S. Lewis and Tolkien had competitions called "You Laugh You Lose" hahaha while reading bad poetry, so funny! I need to read more while my kids are playing Minecraft...or I could shop on Amazon some more hhahaa!!! It has been great chatting!!


In the 18th century there was a "moral panic" because so many people started reading novels! I guess that freaked a bunch of people out!


Sounds like it did! I have to run so I can shop! Haha, chat again soon! bye!


So do you ever shop on Amazon? The largest internet retailer in the world haha?


I do actually! A couple times a month usually! I live in an area that does not offer much for shopping, so amazon is pretty convenient! How about you?


I am hooked on Amazon shopping! They sell everything from clothes to electronics....amazing and I can even buy my kids video games. They are crazy about Minecraft.


I love that they offer so much on their website! Do they do creative world in minecraft or do they do story mode? My son enjoys the creative side of it!


My kids love when I buy Minecraft themed toy figures on Amazon lol,  They love the creative side of it too. I was reading that it is the 3rd best selling video game of all time.


Can you believe that there is a school in Sweden that offers minecraft lessons?


Wow! That's pretty cool. I love the 3D effects it has in it, very fun to see how my kids play it. Minecraft has so much good in it.


I agree. It opens up the creative side in kids. It lets them design and build anything they want! I also love that they have a chance to explore other worlds!


Yeah they are pretty. His works have a different meaning when the old accent is used versus the modern ones


Yeah and you cannot get the puns if you use modern age accents


Yeah better to keep them as they are I guess. He did a lot of work to be wasted


From time to time. Did you ever use MySPace too?


I did and man did they make a big mistake by not buying facebook when they could


Yeah they could have spent $75 million and make billions by now


Yup pretty much. Do you know why it is blue?


Yes it is because Mark is colorblind and cannot see green and red


Yeah, he played it smart to accommodate himself. The like button is also illegal in some parts of Germany


I love his work actually. He even popularized many words and phrases we use today


I wonder why though, it seems strange to have such a ban


Yes  like, good riddance, in my heart of hearts, wild goose chase. He was amazing


Yeah. He lived at the same time as Pocahontas too


Yeah they only dies a year apart, small world


Yeah it is, I wonder what play he would have written had he known about her


Oh good point there. Tchaikowsky donated his skull in hope it would be used in one of his plays


Yeah and I am glad he got his wish as it was used for the skull of Yorick and then in Hamlet


Yeah I am glad about that. Did you know he also invented some women's names?


Yeah pretty names like Miranda, Jessica and Olivia.


Really? What award? It wasn't funny. The rebellion is nothing to joke about!


Stop it! I guess they thought Harrison was a goofball. evan almighty cost 200 million to make.


Really? How much did they spend on crafe services? How can you spend that much on that movie?


Well when you spend 500 on a hammer 250 on a nail there you go. It's been about 30 years since a comedy has won at the academy awards.


What was the last movie to win one? I dont like that the academy has no appreciation for comedies.


Right, I think the Hangover should have won one.


There's a lot of worthy movies that make you laugh and think. Don't ask for an example because I cannot think of one off the top of my head.


DANGIT! How about Best in Show? Or forgetting sarah marshall?


Alright your off the hook. did you know dolphins talk on the phone and they can distinguish between each other too.?


Or, my last one, Bridesmaids. Nice chatting with you!


Yes, at least I think so. I guess it was one of the best romatic comedies in years!


Wow and i never seen it. Did you? I like comedies.


I did not see it but everyone I talked with that did see it, says it was great! What's your favorite comedy?


So many to choose. I liked Evan Almighty it the highest budgeted comedy ever made. I think Bruce almighty was better though.


Me too! Step brothers is one of my favorites too! I guess Will Farrel in general...


Yeah he is hilarious, Ima need more Cow bells fellas!! Did you know slipping on a banana peel came from actually slipping on horse manure.


Gross and true story... I have slipped and damn near broke a few bones by slipping on st bernard dog poop. I understand the struggle!


Yeah it's real, lol. did you know that the empire strikes back movie was nominated for a comedy award?
