He must have made money on the backend. I think he must be quite rich. Thanks again! Have a good day!


Yep I hope you made a lot of money! And I hope that Marcia Lucas also made a lot of money she had a lot of good input in the first movie


That seems like the thing to do now. Netflix is insanely popular. People want to watch all the time.


Yep and I think the ad was worth it, even though it cost Netflix about 10 million dollars to make


Yes, it draws people to their site. Then their stock goes up. I figure the SB is one of the best times and places to advertise.


Yep absolutely. I'm just shocked that Netflix started streaming back in 2007, that seems like a long time ago


It does. Their stock was really low before then. They still spend money on postage now.


Yes their stock is worth a lot more now, but they are also racking up a lot of debt, they had 22 billion dollars in debt back in 2017


That is a lot of debt. I guess they are counting on their market. They have quite a few subscribers right now.


Do you know how many they have? I just know that they have about a hundred thirty original series at this point, which is a large amount in my opinion


Nice. Babies also smile more when they hit the beat


Nice. For parrots they think this is why they are so good at mimicking people


That makes sense. TUpac was a ballet dancer and took part in the nutcracker


That is so cool. Do you like horror movies?


I like some of them, you burn more calories watching them


Oh that is nice. Inception was supposed to be a horror movie originally


WOw that would be different. Do you know which movie Stephen King thinks is the scariest?


I have no idea but I am curious to hear about it


Well he thinks it is Bambi, the cartoon with the deer


Wow I would have never guessed that. ET was also supposed to be a horror movie


I love it. Do you know which dance she did when she was auditing for GoT?


I guess people love writing horror movies


It was the chicken and the robot dance, that woman really


WOw that is funny. Did you know that Bruce Lee was a dancer?


He was actually champion in cha cha dance


WOw that is cool. Did you know that Mr. Rogers learned to break dance in one of the episodes?


WOw that is cool. Did you know that babies dance as soon as they hear music?


That is so cute. Dd you know that parrots also dance really well to the music?


What do you think will happen with Brexit


They sat May's government is in panic mode. I wonder what the polls say about no-deal brexit vs staying put.


It's probably the same. The cities don't want to leave, the more suburban and rural areas want to leave.


I think wikileaks wants them to leave. That's the sort of chaos they like. Thats why there was a government plan to destroy wikileaks...which wikileaks leaked.


Interesting. Technically wikileaks is just a newspaper.


Interesting framing. WikiLeaks published the names of Taliban informants...who were of course then killed by the Taliban. I wonder what would happen if an American Newspaper did that.


Yeah...there should be something in the Geneva Conventions that bans that type of stuff. Of course, US government employees can violate those conventions with fearing prsecution


Interesting, I wonder why they made that rule?


I dunno. Maybe they were upset that the frenchman who kept selling the Eiffel tower wasn't held accountable. so...


Hilarious, I wonder what moron bought it?


A fool with a lot of money. There are a lot of candidates. Maybe someone in the May cabinet.


Who cares. I hope they stick to the Germans and the rest of the Euro personally.


lol, stick it to them. The rules in the Euro are absurd and have kept that entire area in a recession since 2008.


Well the UK doesn't have the Euro currency....which is the problem (separating fiscal and monetary policy). But they have the free trade stuff. That includes immigration. Farmers now say "who will pick the fruit after brexit"?


NO, that is not the problem. The problem with the euro area is that there is a central monetary authority, but no central fiscal authority. Britain is dead right to leave.


Yeah...thats what I said....or meant...the problem is the separating of fiscal and monetary policy. But the UK doesn't have that problem


Oh whoops, my bad. But yeah, it's true. The smaller countries don't have good fiscal policy. Germany is also too strict because of their problem with hyperinflation in the 1900s.


It's pretty cool. Do you know if it is AM or FM radio?


It's an Am station out of Topeka, Kansas.  On a different note have you ever visited 1600 Pennsylvania avenue in Washington, D.C. ?


I have, I actually live in that area. Pretty cool stuff.


That's nice.  Did you know the very first phone number for the White House was"1"?


No, I didn't. That is crazy, I wonder how many prank calls they got!


Probably a plenty.  I hear there is a replica of the White House in Atlanta, which was built as a private home. Have you ever visited it?


No, but I've visited the real one. It is not nearly as big as you would think.


That's what I heard.  Most of it is below ground, I hear.  Do you know that Jimmy Carter installed solar panels, which Ronald Reagan promptly had removed, when he took office?


Interesting, and then George W put them back in.


To each his own I guess. Jimmy Carter also had all the thermostats turned down to 65 degrees the Winter of 1977.  Which, I was a little girl back then, but it was very cold.


Yes, mostly on my commute to and from work every day.


Interesting, well nice chatting with you!


Interesting, I have to ride the subway so I can't listen to it. I miss it though. Did you know you can make a radio out of a razor and pencil?


Oh, that's neat.  I heard that a Hanson song became the most requested track on a Chicago alternative rock radio station because the DJs did not reveal the name of the band.  Those are some talented brothers, they kind of got roped into being a teeny bopper band and never really shook that image.


Did you know that Hanson is from canada? I didn't.


Oh, cool.  Celine Dion, Shania Twain, and Hanson, all the Canada artists, I can think of. All good, though.  Did you know that the most popular radio act of the 1930s was a ventriloquist?  I don't even know how that was possible over the radio?


Interesting, I didn't know that. I wonder why people liked that.


Who knows, times were simpler back then.  Maybe people were more easily amosed. Lol


yeah. Did you know there is a website where you can listen to thousand of episodes of classic radio?


No, I didn't know that.  I'll have to check it out.  I do know that there is a radio station that translates the solar activity into sound so you can listen to the sun's music, live.  How cool is that?


Hi. Do you enjoy movie trivia? I am a big fan of Disney movies which is one of the "Big Six" film studios in Hollywood.


I have! It was a great movie with great toys. Did you know that the toy industry is involved before the filming has begun?


No I didn't know that, what about the Lion King, would you believe one of the best part I like about the Lion king was the song by Elton John.


Its a great song! The Lion King was the first film to be dubbed into Zulu for its African release. I think that's nice.


Yes, It was nice, do you get into much entertainments, such as music, dancing and video games?


I have played Nintendo. I had the original which only displayed in 54 colors!


I used to like Pac-Man, would you believe when caesar visit britain, people used chicken not for breeding, but for entertainments.


How funny. I suppose things were a bit boring before they had something as fun as a Nintendo, even though it was discontinued in September 2003.


Yes that true, Bill nye, science guy, got a break in entertainment by winning the steve martin look alike contest.


Well this has been a lot of fun. Thanks for chatting and learning new and interesting things with me.


Ronald Reagan was rejected from a movie for looking like the president, It was nice chatting with you also


Yes I enjoy movies trivia, I always watch Disney movies especially cartoons.


I really like them, even though in the 70's Disney recycled a lot of their animation frames creating identical scenes.


I didn't know that, Yes I would think so, in the 70's the graphics and colors weren't as good as they are now.


I know they are so crisp and advanced today. Frozen was the first film to be directed by a woman.


I don't remember seen frozen, but I am pretty sure it was good, have you seen it?


I have. It was inspired by Hans Christian Anderson's fairy tale the Snow Queen. Its about a princess who goes to save her sister who's icy powers have trapped their kingdom in eternal winter.


Oh I think that I have seen it, did the wicked queen became frozen at the end? I always like snow white, the movie.


It definitely has some frozen characters but like all disney movies they have a happy ending. They name them "Frozen" and "Tangled" because female names like Rapunzel, Snow Queen or Snow White even had started to underperform at the box office.


OK, have you seen the Pirates of the Caribbean which made over $1 billion in the worldwide box office?


DId any of the Netflix show win a Golden Globe last night?


I know that there were several nominated. I love the Marvelous Mrs. Maizel. Can you believe that people just tag content on Netflix? What a job!


While watching a movie you can click and see who the actors are, etc. so I guess people are paid to tag the content.


Netflix traffic spikes around 9 PM every night


interesting. I also find it funny that Netflix tried to get a deal with Blockbuster as their online provider and Blockbuster didn't take the chance. Their loss!


Yeah that was certainly a bad business decision. Now look where they are at.


I also read that Michael Jackson tried to buy Marvel comics so that he could play Spiderman. So happy that didn't happen!


I think that would have been a bad idea.


Comics, I guess, began in the 1930s but then were branded in 1961.


I don't read comics but I have seen some of the movies and TV shows.


Time for some Netflix. Gonna check out that show.


Which would you say is your favorite movie or tv show?


Who is the  blind guy on netflix. I think it starts with a D


I can't think of the name. Marvel is a pretty popular company among fans.


Yes. Do you watch Netflix? Did you know that they started their own content in 2012?


Have you seen the fireplace movie? It is an hour long. I heard that it is popular in apartments in NYC.


I have not. I enjoy the series Luther and MindHunter


I have seen part of Luther. Fun! Did you know that Netflix has 150 movies with 100% ratings on Rotten Tomatoes?


Of course!  Forget my pickles, then I light you up!  You know Mcdonald's started the drive thru in 1975.


McD's did not plan on the flamethrower cars in SA, I guess. '75 sounds late to me. I figure it would have started like in the 60s.


I thought it was kind of late, too.  But, apparently it was done for the servicemen who couldn't get out and go into the restaurant in their fatigues.


That makes sense. I've seen troops in fatigues walking around. Maybe the rules changed?


I think it has changed, now.  But look what the old drive thru has done for the fast food industry.


It has made people even more immobile and overeating. I figure with a bathroom in the car, we could go everywhere without leaving the vehicle.


Yeah, revolutionized it in a bad way.  Too easy to pull though and get your fix, like a junkie.  Do you watch any movies?


I do like my movies. I usually go to Rottentomatoes to find out what's good.


I do too.  IMDb is a good source for movie info, plot summaries, biographies, etc.  I mainly use it to answer trivia questions.


That's a good reason! I use imdb to find out the ratings for films. Usually try to find things over 7.0.


Cool.  It's been nice chatting with you today.  I hope you enjoy the rest of your day!


I used to listen as a kid. Not so much now. I use the Internet. Sometimes listen to podcasts.


That's cool.  I listen to my radio on my commute and from work every day.


That's a great time to listen. Better than using a smart phone to text.


I hear that.  I see way to much of that on the roads! I'm thinking about equipping my car with a flamethrower, like they do in South Africa.


I think that would be totally rad. A flamethrower! Give the keys to your teenager and let 'em have fun!


It's legal there to prevent car jacking.  I'd probably use it for road rage incidents or if I saw you using your phone.  I'd zap you a couple of times! Light you up.


That would be good. Or a giant phone jammer in the trunk to stop local cell phone connections. Would you take your flamethrower through the drive thru?


Hi, how are you tonight? Do you like football?


That's a strange situation. What position did he play?


I really don't know. Since he's a quarterback, maybe he was also a pitcher. One good arm for both sports!


The NFL has no written rule against women. Do you think women will ever play?


I don't know. It's hard to imagine a 300 pounder tackling an average size woman. But then again, maybe the NFL women players will be bigger than average, just as most of the men are. Does that seem weird to you?


It does. Maybe women soccer players could be kickers. Not much call for women in the NFL. Referees? Coaches?


I guess they may start off at some of the more specialized positions like kickers. Funny that people put there baby's names on the waiting list for Green Bay game tickets since there is such a long waiting list. That's some serious fans there.


They've sold out every game since 1960. I guess there's not much to do around there. No other sports teams.


I don't understand how they are community owned. So who in the community owns them? So you know?


I think the city gov't owns them, so they are non-profit. There are no private owners. I guess it's an unusual arrangement.


Oh, I see. That confused me. The scientist coach is a surprise. I always thought of coaches as being the guys that taught all the easy subjects like US History. Wonder what made him go from rocket scientist to coach!


I liked it  a lot when I was younger and always went to my high school games. But now tickets are so expensive!


His competitive spirit. Probably like the mental aspect of the game. Anyway, nice chat!


Good chat with you too. Learned a little about football. Have a great evening.


Thanks and I hope your favorite team wins the super bowl next year!


Thanks! Maybe you'll get a chance to see a live game!


I would enjoy that at some point. I've lived in 3 cities with national teams so maybe I 'll get to see one of them play.


I usually root for the underdog in the Super bowl. LOL


I did too this year. I don't like it too much when the same teams win all the time. I would think the NFL wouldn't want that either. Maybe the underdogs should get some glory every once in a while.


Yeah, too expensive for me. I sometimes watch NFL on TV. Usually around the playoffs.


It would be easier if the small city teams had more money. Anyway, have a good night!


Right, the teams with the money always have the advantage. Same in baseball but I don't know if it holds true in basketball.


It's funny that there is only 1 left handed quarter back in the NFL. I wonder how many people in the US population are left handed?


I think it's 20% at most. In some professions it's common. Like computer programming. I think it might affect the rest of the team to have a lefty QB.


So a lot of computer programmers are left handed? I didn't know that. Is it a right brain thing? Do you know how Brad Johnson threw a pass to himself? I can't picture that!


I think it's a bit of creativity and analysis. I guess Brad got a bit lucky their. Maybe it bounced off someone?


So maybe a ricochet! What plays do quarterbacks not touch the ball? Kickoffs and extra points?


I don't know. I think everything goes through the QB except the punt. QB probably holds for the kicker on FGs. Would that be a problem for a lefty?


Maybe it would throw the kicker off if the holder was on the opposite side from what they are used to. I wonder how long Russel Wilson is under contract to  the Rangers, that he is still officially a baseball player!


Did you hear about that homeless veteran of war?


They should be ashamed I totally agree with you, using a person like that, mocking the military and mocking people that just want to help


I agree!!! Do you happen to know the branch of the military that Bobbitt served in?


Yeah he was part of the Marine Corps I think, sad how many veterans end with trauma like his.


Yeah!! So sad. Do you like Facebook at all?


I do, I like it although sometimes its invasive. I guess if you want privacy dont have a Facebook account


Yeah that's for sure. Do you know when its website got launched by any chance?


I do, it was launched on the year 2004 I think it was around February, its been more than a decade since its creation


Wow!! I didn't know that. How old do you have to be in order to be a registered user of Facebook?


I think you have to be at least 13 years old to register but you can always lie about it.


That is interesting. Do you know which year did Facebook started to sell stock to the public?


Yeah!!! I still can't believe that the whole thing was a lie.


I have no idea about that maybe around 2012, no idea I would have to Google that, it was great chatting with you tonight.


You're correct!!! It was nice chatting with you as well. Have a nice night!!!


Yeah apparently they were able to raise a lot of money with that lie, 400k


That is terrible. Do you happen to know how this whole thing started in the first place?


It started out with Johnny Bobbit a homeless man, they publish his story on GoFundMe back in 2017, it was all a ruse


So the couple and the homeless man were all in on the scam?


I don't think so, Bobbitt wasn't on the scam, he even sued the couple, he accused them of fraud and also of conspiracy


Interesting. How much time is the couple looking at in jail if they do in fact get convicted?


They could face a sentence of 10 years if convicted, that is serious time and I bet they have to give all that money back so sucks for them.


Yes. They did a terrible thing. They should be ashamed of themselves for scamming a veteran homeless man.


Im not sure, but I bet it was a boring game, they could have gotten injured in a really bad way.


I wonder if any presidents played tennis, JFK, Washington, and Jefferson were the wealthiest so maybe the built their own court


I imagined they did as they had a lot of money and tennis is a popular sport among politicians, also golf.


Possibly I wonder if they have a tennis court at the white house, they have a guest house larger than the white house


I think there is one, the White House is really big I wonder how big that guest house is!


hmm i don't know, i wonder if The president from Zimbabwe Mr. Banana ever stayed at the guest house


Maybe he was a guest of honor lol, but the guest house is not owned by the government its actually owned by Trump


I didn't know that but I do know that 85% of nevada land is owned by the government


Really that much? that is a lot of land, they should put that land to good use, you know  man sold the Eiffel towe not once but twice.


Lol, nice, that man who sold the Eiffel Tower should try selling 85% of the land in Nevada owned by the US government


Not a huge tennis fan but I do like Polo shirts, I never knew it was invented for Rene Lacoste


I agree lol, he would make a killing out of that 86%


I didnt know that either, I wonder why they are called Polo shirts and not Lacoste shirts, the bran polo certainly took advantage of this name


I don't know since Polo players adopted after Lacoste maybe Polo shirt sounds better than tennis shirt


It does sound better in my opinion, you know that back in 1969 a chopper was used to dry the court for a US Open tournament


That's crazy, I'm surprised that a black person hasn't won the US open since it started in 1968


Me too! I wonder why that is, maybe because its a expensive game and the economic status of african americas is usually lower. Tennis sure is an interesting game it can be quite long as well.


Maybe, or maybe other sports have paid a lot higher since 1968 so more black people choose that instead of tennis


Yeah that could  be another reason, a skilled player is Gael Monfils, he actually beat legend Roger Federer and he started to learn how to play tennis just a few days before the match


Cool, I wondered who were the two players who played for 11 hours over 3 days


I agree. It wouldn't surprise me to see someone so frustrated they run. I am thinking Michelle Obama...


Yes! That is really my thought too. We need a president who has a very good head on their shoulders. How awesome would that be!


I think she would be elected without having to outline policy, she is that popular. I think her book primed her run. It was conveniently released around exploratory committee time...


Exactly, I think she would have a great chance to be elected. She seems to be what we need right now!


I think we just need someone who doesn't marginalize a lot of the country. That's not a high bar to get over. Our current nation is that low right now... Jefferson would be rolling over in his grave.


I agree! We just need to hope we get good people running and hopefully more than the average 62% voter rate will climb. We really need this. Has Michelle Obama talked about running?


I was just talking about this the other day with a friend. In a country with like 350M people, Hilary and Trump were the two best people we could come up with? No she has not talked about it but I could see it.


I agree, that's why I hope we can get someone who could really get this country up and running and uniting. I really think whoever ends up in the White House next is either going to completely break us or start getting us above water, so to speak.


I agree. I am fearful that the Democrats will cannibalize the party and it will be tough to make whole going up against the Republican party. Nice I didn't say trump because I am skeptical he will run again. He hates bring president.


Exactly. I didn't know Trump didn't like being president. I wish we were not so divided into political groups, so muxh going on. That's why I am not a liberal or conservative.


Very well, thanks. Are you ready for the Presidential race in 2020?


I am! For me personally it can't get here soon enough. But whatever happens we will get by! I was reading about the talks about how George Hathaway, has a book about the Alt-Right, pretty interesting.


Yeah. I am fearful of those groups normalizing hate speech, sorry if you're alt-right...


I am definitely not Alt-Right, these groups are scary to me. All the extremist groups are very scary. A man named Tenold wrote personal accounts on a personal level with these groups. Very interesting.


If I am alt-right, I do not want my name included with the KKK. However, I am not alt-roght and think they should be lumped in with them.


Everyone thinks modern day KKK is not a threat even by the Alt Right but I have to say they are in my opinion. They have committed hate crimes just as much as the other groups.


I agree. I think their speech is just as dangerous. It tells others that hate speech is allowable and endorsed by people like the president.


Exactly, couldn't agree more. Our country is so crazy and the books these men are writing prove to be a bit scary on much hate they have seen and heard. But we hope the upcoming election might change things.


Did You know that Kellan moore is the only left handed quarterback in the nfl ?


ohh, that's what You mean... I'm from Europe so I watch more soccer ;)


Oh I see.  I dont know anything about soccer except that when they say "goooooooaaaaallllllll"  its good to start cheering .


lol:) that's mostly done by Spanish commentators ;) I'm from Poland but sure... goal is a time of celebration as there is not many of those in a game :)


haha ok.  at least im not totally doing it wrong.


...but to me a really exciting game is when there is no goals at all - that means both teams have very good defensive skills and it makes the match very exciting... that one goal could change everything... ;)


Nice,  kinda like hockey!  Did u know Nfl uses tracking chips embedded in players shoulder pads to record a players every move on the field. they are also located inside footballs to track: velocity, rotation, ball speed and location.


That data is for coaching ? Not sure how would they use it...


ahhh, interesting... maybe I'll start watching it :)


its pretty boring.  lol.  a lot of waiting around,  and way too many penalties.  If u go to an actual football game much more exciting.


Yeah!  Cool!  The nfl has no written rule against female players; women would in fact be allowed if they met the league's eligibility requirements.


Ok :) thanks for the warning ! :)  Thank You so much for chatting - it was a pleasure !


Well to be honest, I don't see why would there be rules forbidding women... they could have skills as well ;)


yeah,  I guess I havent heard of it,  so its definitely interesting to me.


Maybe they would not be as strong, but who knows - maybe they could be as quick as men ?


For sure.  An average nfl game only has 11 minutes of live gameplay


umm ... what ? what does it mean ? The matches must be longer than that...


about 3 -4 hours of game time,  but the clock is only 11 min,  I think


I'm really confused... I don't watch nfl


lol,  they stop the clock after the players run the ball.  and restart it again when the ball is in play.  They huddle and stuff in between.


Yes, I would think there would be more than one. If not, that place would be huge. If the brand Rip Curl has clothes made in North Korea, why would they label it made in China?


That is a good question! Perhaps some of the components of the articles are from China? I find it very interesting that many of today's fashion has come from generations ago. For example; bell bottoms are making a come back and labeled as wide leg.


That is true. They are always changing with different names and styles. I hope the style does change and go back a few generations to a more classic style.


I find many different styles are good as long as they are comfortable. Being from the south I also find having the option of layers good as the mornings and evening s can be cool outside but once the sun comes up it warms pretty quickly. Insulating from heat or cold with layers that are comfortable and easily removed is a good thing.


That is true, I too am from the south and do not have to bundle up much. Our winter is very short. Layering is the way to go. I think its great that the Norwegian government has donated 1 billion to save the amazon rainforest!


I agree as well that is a wonderful thing for the Rain Forest!  I hope other people as well as corporation see the need to save things that really matter to sustain future generations yet to come.


Yes, I agree that would be wonderful! You know, I didn't realize the US government owned 86% of Nevada's land.


I was unaware of that as well. An interesting factoid I have learned and wonder how it could happen not once but twice is the fact that a single man impersonated the government and was able to sell the Eiffel Tower two time on separate occasions.


Yes, sounds like a con artist in France. Good chat!!


I again agree,  and thank  you for such a nice chat today.


Good morning; I am doing great today thank you for asking!


Do you know the Apple brand had a clothing line 1986?


No, I didn't, interesting. I thought pilgrims wore black and white. I am surprised their clothing was full of color!


I agree! it is known that pilgrims wore color many days and used black clothing for special occasions. In turn, leads me to believe that many people wore different colors of clothing but portrayed differently due to only black and with photography.


That could be. yes. I will be looking for collar gaps from now on with my tailored clothes! lol


That is funny but afraid I am not one that gets clothes tailored or would even know what exactly to look for. I have heard of a store in Alabama that sells things from unclaimed baggage for which I feel would be cool to go see what people leave behind.


Yes, I no, It would be interesting to see what is left! I am not surprised they have such a store filled with unclaimed baggage. I would think there would be more of them.


I think so as well. With so many airports across the US I was surprised to learn of only one store being available. I would think there would be more anyways. I am sure the store would have many brands of clothing from all over the world there.


I agree with you on that one! What is your all time favorite comedy?


It changes through the years, right now it's The Big Bang Theory.  I love all the relationships going on.  Many people like Monty Python.


Both great things to watch! I'm glad The Big Bang Theory wasn't on comedy central, they've cancelled over 100 shows since 1989.


Yes, me too. Oh well, they are still cancelled anyway. This is the last season of BBT.  Did you know that the creator of the Python programming language named it partly to honor British comedy group Monty Python?  Isn't that something?  Cool.


That is actually very cool! Are you into dramas at all?


Yes, I like drama too especially with that little twist of comedy but straight drama is cool as well.  Did you know that Hugh Laurie is the highest paid actor ever for TV drama?


I didn't know that! I know it was probably for the show House. Did you ever watch that? That's a lot of money.


Yes, $700,000 for one episode of House, wow. That's unbelievable.  That show must have raked in the bucks!


And it was even on Fox lol. That's usually a death sentence for shows haha. Did you know how Michael Caine got into acting?


Yes, I heard that all the prettiest girls in his high school were enrolled in drama class, so he joined the drama club to be close to them.  At least he did it the smart way.


Hi, I am doing great.  Do you want to chat about drama, television, or comedy?  It's your choice.


He was a smart man, look at him today! I wish I would have taken Jon Hamm's drama class in high school!


I hear that.  Yes, one of his students, Elle Kemper is Erin from The Office.  Nice chatting with you, have a great night.


I love choices! Let's talk about comedy!


Awesome. Originally, the theatrical genre of Greek comedy can be described as a dramatic performance which pits two groups or societies against each other in an amusing agon or conflict. That should start us off.


I think it's cool how it came to be. It all started off as political satire in a sense.


Yes, exactly.  Romantic comedy is a popular genre that depicts burgeoning romance in humourous terms and focuses on the foilables of those who are falling in love.  I love that romantic comedy the best!


I'm more of the bromantic type lol. Are you a fan of Jack Black?


Yes, he's really funny.  I heard that the Green Lantern film was originally going to be a comedy starring Jack Black.


I bet that would have been about 10000000000 times better than the actual green lantern haha. My favorite comedic actor is Bill Murray though.


Yes, I like him too.  Bill Murray thinks Kung Fu Hustle is "the supreme achievement of the modern age in terms of comedy".  Maybe it was back then, but there's been a lot of funny stuff made.


A planet is a astronomical body. Which is the part of the milkyway  galaxy.


Yes, Juipter and Saturn also have rings but seen only through telescope.


Jupiter has a lot of moons too. One of them is so large it would be a planet if it orbited the sun instead of Jupiter!


Yeah! The moon is the satellite of the earth. Large number of satellite in juipter.


It would be amazing if we could live on all of them. Some scientists have found evidence of possible life 455 light-years away, and our solar system's moons are so much closer!


It is very interesting! Reading is a complex process of decoding symbols derive it correct meaning.


Reading is one of my favorite things. It's so much fun and I can learn from it too.


Amazing! It keep our brain active. It also good exercise and it develop the creativity power of the brain.


My favorite author is Terry Pratchett, but I also enjoy C.S. Lewis, JRR Tolkien, and other fantasy and sci-fi writers. Who is your favorite?


Have you ever been able to spot at planet at night? Sometimes Venus is visible to the naked eye from earth.


J.K. Rowling is my favourite harry potter is my favourite novel.


I really enjoy the Harry Potter books too! It was such a creative and entertaining thing to read.


Its seen in the morning hours before the rising of the sun. Venus is also called as "Morning Star".


I didn't know that. I wonder if that nickname is derived from mythology, or just historical astronomy.


Historical of Bigbang theories. The earth is also a planet of the solar system.


I'm not sure what you mean by the first part, about the Big Bang theories.


There are five planet are visible through naked eye.


Venus is the only planet rotates in clock-wise, If there is no season.


I wonder why that is. Uranus is similarly unique - it rolls sideways to rotate instead of spinning on a vertical axis like other planets.


good morning.  i think in the USA we take the process of voting in elections for granted.


i can't really blame the election commission staff.  this is a whole new thing for them and they knew that they were at risk.  if and when something like this happens again they will surely be better prepared.  amazing.


yes i guess i agree with you, and plus Many voters expressed strong enthusiasm for the election, which they described as a chance to bring fresh faces and new ideas to the political arena


and compare that with the U.S. where so many take the whole process for granted.  if we want to, we just go to the polls, vote, without any thought of risk or threats.  it really makes me think about all that we take for granted here.


Yes, I absolutely agree with you... it is frustrated. So Women voted at separate sites... can you imagine


women voting at separate site is another example of the difference between the USA and other countries that do things so differently.  but on a positive note, women DID vote.  even in our country it took way too long for them to get that right.


unfortunately yes, there was a lot of struggle for women's votes but right now it is good for our country.


it certainly is.  i think about history a lot.  i'm not an expert but i do find it very interesting how things have changed.  some change has been for the good; of course some not so good.


Yes but as for women's votes, the changes has been for good. Also one more thing to add, In Qarabagh, a town north of Kabul, voters blocked the highway in protest after election materials failed to arrive by midday.One joke circulating on social media suggested that more people would be deprived of voting in so-called safe areas than in regions under Taliban control, where the danger forced hundreds of polling stations to be shuttered in advance.


hopefully one day people in that area of the world will look back and say "wow we've come a long way since then."  very important to stay hopeful.


yes that's for sure. Elections have been the usual mechanism by which modern representative democracy has operated since the 17th century. Did you participate in the last elections?


hello, I agree, what do you think about Afghanistan's parliamentary election ?


i'll be honest with you.  i did not.  sad to say i have become very disillusioned with the political scene; it's a long story.  but that doesn't change the fact that i recognize voting as a crucial, valuable process.


I totally understand You. It was nice to chat to you about elections and voting.


holy smoke it sounds like a wild, scary situation.  it's a positive situation that they accomplished the mission and a lot of courage was shown by the voters.


yes it is... Kabul police said, a suicide bomber attempted to enter a polling station on the northern outskirts of the capital, then detonated his explosives when police tried to stop him, killing at least 10 civilian voters and five police officers, can you even imagine how people live like this?


when i try to imagine it i'm just thankful that by pure luck i don't have to go through such a mess in order to cast my vote.  amazing.


oh me too, it was awful... So there More than 8 million voters had registered to choose among about 2,500 candidates running for 249 seats in the lower house of parliament. The long list of hopefuls included 400 women, clean-cut young men in business suits and bearded older men in turbans...


i'm proud of all the people who made the effort.  it shows me that they value the process of voting.  they knew it would be risky but they took the chance and went out to vote.


yes definitely! And plus Many who managed to cast votes described scenes of frenzied confusion and disorganization, with ballot boxes missing and names recorded wrong, how can this even be possible...


incredible.  this is a whole new thing for them; a new process; but people showed great patience.  it was critical for them not to be deterred.  a real  learning experience for them.


The head of the Free and Fair Election Forum of Afghanistan, Mohammad Yousuf Rasheed, said the monitoring group was pleased that people wanted to come out and vote despite the security threats, but we were disappointed to see the lack of preparation by the election commission staff and the threats by local power brokers in some provinces that influenced people to vote for them, what do you think?


Did you hear about Carrier Underwood?  She had multiple miscarriages.  Very sad.


Ya, but most album sales are on Mp3 or CD formats in the 21st century still.


I think more people are just using streaming music now and download from there. Don't know that any formats are going to matter much anymore.


Ya I agree with that.  I find it interesting that the album "The Dark Side of the Moon" was still one of the best selling albums in 2014 even though it was released 40 years ago.


Classic music stands the test of time. So much crossover now. To think that a huge band like Aerosmith can make more money in a video game ( Guitar Hero) than any album? Toys in the Attic is still one of my favs.


I did not realize there was that much money in Video Games.


We actually have that game and bought the whole band system when my son was still at home. My husband is more of a science guy. The fact that the Earths magnetic field reverses is more interesting to him.


It is estimated to be 4.543 billion years old. I was amazed to find out that Jupiter protects us from so many asteroids!


It is sad to think that more than 80 percent of the earth's forests have already been destroyed.


Being the only astronomical object that harbors life you would think we would be more careful with our planet.


It is, she had some horrible luck.  Glad to know that this pregnancy is sticking for her thought!


Yes, that would be the smart thing to do.


Her Husband is a professional Hockey player named Mike Fisher.


Yes, I knew that.  Huge fan of hers. I know she was getting a lot of really nasty messages after her fall with the dogs. I don't get people sometimes.


Yea that is terrible.  I have heard she needed 40-50 stitches.


She did.  She has a wonderful heart. That she is willing to look at adoption and helping charitable organizations.


I agree.  Are you a fan of country music at all?  Apparently it has been around since the 1920s.


I am of some of it.  Being Irish I love the Celtic influences.


That is awesome.  I am not sure i have ever heard any Celtic songs.


It is beautiful.  So many different genres of music, I am a fan of many of them.  Used to collect vinyl. See that is coming back in "fad".


Yeah, they help me escape! I really liked Friends when I was younger. It's surprising to me that 3rd rock from the sun beat them for the Golden Globe back in 1997.


I didnt watch 3rd Rock from the Sun, was it any good? I guess it was Friends is a really funny show so beating them is not an easy task.


Yeah, I was never into 3rd Rock. It was okay but I just watched it because it was on.


I see, have you ever heard of the Python programming language?


Yes, I think I have! I heard the programming language was named to honor British Comedy group Monty Python. I just assumed it had something to do with a snake.


I also assumed it was because of python snake or a similar reason.


Haha, that's funny! Speaking of funny things, do you like Comedy Central? A lot of stuff on there isn't funny to me. They've cancelled over 100 shows since being created in 1989.


They did? that is really unfair I bet many fans of the shows were upset because of that, 100 shows is a lot of them.


Yeah, hopefully they were just unpopular ones.


Yeah maybe, one of them was Chappelle show I really liked that one its been great chatting with you today.


Oh, really? I will have to check that show out. Great chatting with you!


Same here when I commute to work and also when work is slow at the office.


Have you ever picked up Jupiter's storms by accident?You can hear them on the AM radio.


You can? woah that is amazing, the radio is a big world with a lot of interesting content.


Yeah, there is a Finnish radio station that plays a weekly news programme in Classical Latin. Wonder how many people listen to it and understand it.


I think it has a fan segment yeah, its been around since 1989 so some people must like it


Yeah, you're right. There's also a website where you can listen to thousands of episodes of classic radio dramas, free of charge. Not my thing but probably means something to some people.


There is? that site sounds great, I wonder if theres also a site with thousands of comedy shows


Well in the past five years actually almost half of the five star recruits and more then half of the one and dones have gone to just five schools.  The NCAA could use the rule already in effect for baseball but for basketball, like the rule that a student coming from high school or entering college must stay a minimum 3 years


I would hope the student player is motivated to stay.  Education is never a bad thing, unless you're young.  And you can make millions playing ball.  What does Condoleezza Rice have to do with any of this?


I don't know what Condolezza Rice has to do with this I do know that people write to her most likely because she has the power to change the rules in the NCAA, but that last part is just speculating.  NBA allen iverson actually signed a deal with rebook to pay him 800k a year until hes 55 then at the end recieve 32 million in a lump sum! I guess you could start your own education facility what that kind of money.


I think Condi is associated with the FBI.  They are the ones revealed findings of corruption.  Thats a stunning amount of money to pay any one person.


From personal knowledge I believe shes a politician, which does relate her to this.  NBA is an active member of USAB (USA basketball) which is also recognized by the FIBA (international basketball federation)  That is a huge amount! The nba is on the most four major sports and NBA players are the worlds best paid atheltes by average salary


I once attended a college basketball game.  Its funny how the game means so much to some and almost nothing to others.  More fun to play with friends than watch.  Have you ever owned Air Jordan sneakers?


Thats true that some people really care and some don't about basketball. I've always liked jordans, but lately i've been buying them to resell. Not a big fan of the NBA, but since people are they are willing to wait in line for shoes and create bots online to try to get them. I wouldn't be suprised if the shoe companies are a part of the corruption, they are pretty unethical since they use offshore labor!


It seems likely that shoe money leads to corruption.  Air Jordans were banned by the NBA.  Jordan wore them anyway and Nike paid the fine.  Not corruption, but the league was ineffective in rule enforcement.


Oh thats interesting did not know they were banned was that a specific type of air jordan or all of them? Maybe they were a specific color, He probably made his fine back by the exposure of the shoe. Yeah i believe the NCAA needs to enforce their rules more so the FBI and governing bodies don't have to get involved/ Nba explotiation is not new i guess


I have no idea about the color.  Nike can probably make any color desired.  Maybe people like Tim Duncan could help in some way.  He stayed in school for four years instead of going directly to the NBA.


Hi.  Looks like basketball is the right choice today.


So like one time people were getting killed over this specific colorway and thats why they got banned. I could get on really offtopic about jordan. If the nba followed baseball rules are learned from them, they would probably have less issues.


I see.  Well, if physicists were cool, "granny style" would be a thing.  Talk to you later.


Cheryl Miller was robbed out of a life time of earnings by being a woman.


Yeah did you hear about the NCAA lately?


It is the National College Athletics Association, I think.  Is that right?


That is correct basically they are the college program  for sports and it also includes the basketball, Suprisingly the FBI revealed that there was corruption in the NCAA. Corrupt connections with the shoe companies, agents, and coaches!


Shoe companies?  Well, if you can not trust shoe companies, who can you trust.  College ball is a great place for the NBA to look at talent.


Well although theres great talent theres been some unethical decisions. And no punishment has been givne. The NCAA doesn't seem to be stopping the corruption taking place. IF they don't stop it it will get worse.


So is part of this money paid to players, who take phony classes?  There is a solution for that, the student body must get involved.  Players must take the same classes and get decent grades.


Correct, and because they haven't done anything rules have been put in place for students who have no intention of pursing their educational career. Supposably the game could be more popular if they went to college and a rule was enforced for them to study instead of getting straight into the NBA at 19


It would seem that only a few teams are made from fake students.  But rules must be applied evenly.  There are no easy fixes.  I do not want a minor league for  basketball.


You know the things of the world. Television also makes us benefit.


I am not sure what you mean.  Did you know Daniel radcliffe voiced the cartoon parody of twilight's edward cullen on the simpsons episode treehouse of horror xxi.


Television makes us aware of things in the world where we are


Sorry, I do not know the details of Daniel radcliffe voiced the cartoon parody.


Its ok,  just a fun fact I recently read. Only one of shakespeare's plays has not been adapted for film or television, the two noble kinsmen.


Okay, I think internet is very useful for every people.


Absolutely! In the first 400 episodes, homer simpson has held 188 jobs.


Yes,  i am using it right now lol Astronauts on the international space station have faster internet than most americas do at home.


I love animals! There's a lawyer in switzerland who represents animals in court


Yes, it's very interesting. Animal, any of a group of multicellular eukaryotic organisms thought to have evolved independently from the unicellular eukaryotes.


Oh thats good to know! There are animals which can theoretically live forever because they are 'biologically immortal' including a type of jellyfish and lobster.  I've seen these on that show Blue Planet!


Okay, Animals are multicellular eukaryotic organisms that form the biological kingdom Animalia


Thats cool. Animals, like humans, have a dominant "paw" or side


Do you think animals will understand humans?


Depends on how you communicate I guess. Animals from geographically distant areas often speak different "languages" or "dialects."


That's nice. Do you like to see television?


i do watch tv.  The netherlands is constructing special bridges for wildlife in order to connect habitats and keep animals from being hit by cars.


Yeah and it sounds like it was late fees that got the whole company started!


Yeah a very angry Reed Hastings, who said I'm just going to start my own thing.


Yeah, well he made the right call Netflix now accounts for 33% of the bandwith in North America


Holy cow, that is a crazy amount for one company!


Yeah and with YouTube they make half of the internet peak, so pretty impressive numbers.


That is massive, and most likely going to continue to grow in the future.


I think it will, both companies although the Disney streaming service is a threat to the company


Yeah it sure is, I wonder what will happen with Disney?


I think they are going to be successful some of the series sound great, like Loki and also The Scarlet witch.


I do, im one of the 58 million subscribers in North America what about you?


Yeah those sure do.  Well it's been nice talking with you, I hope you have a good day.


Nice, no I don't currently have an account, but I most likely will get one eventually.


Yeah well Netflix has a lot of debt so it can disaper one day like 22 billion dollars in debt


Yeah that is true, but I don't see that happening any time soon.


I dont know, I hope they dont file bankrupcy in the mean while I will enjoy the service, they sure spend a lot on postage though


Yeah they sure do, I don't think they will continue to do the physical stuff in the future.


Doesn't sound like a good business, did you know that Blockbuster had the chance to buy the company.


I think I read about that a while back, they certainly had their chance, sounds like several of them actually.


One thing is certain they must be regretting that decision and also those late fees since Netflix got created thanks to them


Those guys were great writers. I wonder what poetry they read. I would like to read it myself.


I bet it's hilarious. I often times am intrigued by reading about wrestling. Speaking of which, I read about Abe Lincoln - he's actually in the wrestling hall of fame as he only lost once in 300 matches. That is truly amazing!


The guy was very tall. I thought that would be a disadvantage because of high center of gravity. He must have been quite skilled.


Indeed he must have been. I also thought it was surprising to learn the philosopher Plato was a pro wrestler before becoming a philosopher!


Sport is a natural thing for human beings. We have bodies, we should use them. Plus Plato didn't have TV and Internet for distraction.


That is a good point! I wouldn't mind seeing Dennis Cyplenkov's hands as they are the biggest and most densely muscled hands in the world. No wonder he's an arm wrestling champion!


That must be insane! He must have powerful hands! Anyway, great chat!


Oh, and speaking of wrestling, did you know the guy who designed Mach Man's wrestling suit also designed clothes for many musicians like Aerosmith and Jimi Hendrix? That's pretty cool!


i did not know that. You learn something new every day. Have a good day!


Yeah and speaking of learning something new, I recently discovered iPhones have more computing power than the entire US nuclear ICBM deterrent. That is insane! One little phone has all that power!!


Hi! I love reading. In fact, I've been wanting to read Starship Troopers since it's the first Sci-Fi novel to make the reading lists of three US military branches! What about you?


We need to upgrade those ICBMs then. Talk to you soon!


Indeed we should. And before I go, I always thought 111 was the fastest number to dial on a rotary phone, but it's actually 212 which is New York's area code. That was a shocker! Well it was great chatting with you! Have a good one!


I read that book a long time ago. Saw the movie too. Heinlein was in the military.


They also say Ender's Game was suggested by a lot of military organizations, including the Marine Corps!


Yes, that is a book that involves a lot of strategy and tactics. Good reading for the troops. I haven't read that book in a while.


Can you believe that there was actually moral panic over the spread of the reading of novels back in the 18th Century? That's insane!


I think they imagined that poetry was sublime and morally pure. Novels had all sort of weird sexual things. Impurities for the mind and soul.


True. I certainly wish I had more time to read. Perhaps if I could read at a speed of 4,700 words per minute like the world record holder for speed reading, it'd be easier to get more reading done!


I wonder how much you could realistically retain when you read at that speed. I guess you could read something two or three times.


That's a good point! Not sure I'd be able to retain a thing. Ha! Speaking of reading, did you know both CS Lewis and Tolkien held competitions known as "You laugh, you lose" while reading horrible poetry. That's hilarious!


It's amazing how well dogs have become a part of the human experience isn't it?


I once saw a shark in the wild, it was only a nurse shark but I got the heck away as fast as I could.


OMG, were you swimming? Is that a big shark?


I was scuba diving in Australia. They are not as big as Great Whites I think they average around five to six feet and are very docile.


Oh cool, I want to go for scuba! Cool, so they are nice and won't eat a human?


I think that there has been only one case of them biting and the diver was careless when feeding them.


So like what if you jump in a pool of blood first and then try and get eaten?


I suppose that they would oblige you, but while I've done crazy things before, I'm not suicidal. If I thought there was a White around I wouldn't even go in the water.


Yea they probably would eat. Do you go for scuba a lot?


I used to but not so much anymore. I was reading a Facebook post yesterday a from a diver in Malaysia who says that he routinely dives with sharks.


Oh so yea, I'm sure the sharks would be like any other living thing. Like a dog too. They might try and eat if hungry and also if you swim with them then they will become friends.


Yes I think that dogs and other animals are not human but should be granted rights and respect


I don't know about friends but certainly more confortable with humans around, also divers do not usually send out the signals that sharks are attracted to.


I bet it would be possible to learn what symbols a shark pays attention to and then to learn to communicate with the shark.


Possible I guess. I know there has been a lot of research into what shapes, forms and patterns that sharks are attracted to.


Maybe we could make a suit that shows the symbols so that would also be a deterrant for eating since the shark wouldn't want to eat something that is showing symbols that interest it.


There has been a lot of innovations in diving suits over the years. Cristeau developed a metal mesh suit that protects against bites. I seem to remember that sharks are also attracted by stripes and whether there are vertically or horizontally oriented.


Interesting! The bite suit innovation is pretty smart stuff!


Did you hear about the last rhino of a certain type/species died and now the species is extinct?


I did hear about that. White Rhino wasn't it? We have a lot of species that are teetering on the edge.


Yea, that sucks! Have you heard of the megaladon shark?


I agree. I treat my dog like a family member, she even sleeps with me, and when she wants something, she can make her wishes known with no problem.


Yes from the movie Jaws. How frightful would it be to see something that big swimming toward you?


I know, lol! So I was gonna ask you if the mega was still around and scientist made a suit that had stripes or something and the mega doesn't ever eat it, would you go for a swim with it?


NO!!! Just one tooth is bigger than my hand. I'd probably be too small for even a snack.


lol, whoa its that big! Would you do it for any amount of money?


What use is money if you're not around to spend it?


Guess we've covered the subject of sharks and dogs as well as my limited knowledge will allow. Been nice chatting with you.


Yea I think that dogs basically talk with us but they just don't speak our language


Yes. Mine points with her nose at the treat box when she wants a dog bone. She's on a diet now because I tend to give her whatever she wants. My human traits I guess.


hahah, I think there are also companies that will give you diet instructions for your doggy!


Well both of us should lose weight. I guess animals can exhibit the same bad habits as we do. Any animals that strike fear into your heart? After Jaws came out in the 70s I was even afraid to wade in a rain puddle.


Yes, I am afraid of the sharks and also wild lions!


Ha! I thought it was "Lions and Tigers and Bears, Oh MY".


Yes, I am afraid of all of those animals and also was thinking of that song :)


Do you enjoy dining at interesting restaurants?


Unfortunately it seems the service at the restaurant is not so great. That is one of the most important things, for me.


Oh for sure, I have worked at a restaurant and it takes some skill to be good, but if not, bad service is the worst!


I'm getting hungry. I'd love some chicken. Chicken is the only bird I would eat, even at a fancy restaurant.


I like chicken as well.  Speaking of birds, did you know that they have regional accents?


That is funny. I think I had heard that about cows, too. So like moo, meh, mewww? Haha Speaking of birds though, hummingbirds are smart. They steal spidewebs to fix their nests and to make new ones.


I think I have read about that, very cool, would be fun to watch video of them doing it.


I bet they are really light. Most birds' bones are so hollow that the skeleton weighs less than the feathers.


That is very interesting, I think they are the closest relatives to the dinosaurs as well.


Neat! And the dodo is also a close relative to the pigeon.


Yeah it is!  Oh the dodo, I remember watching old videos of the dodo years ago.


Hello there, I do enjoy going yes, how about you?


Birds are persistent too. Some can fly from Alaska to Northern Mexico without sleeping when they are migrating. Speaking of sleep, I'd love to take a nap! It was nice talking to you!


I do when I can. I'd like to visit Mi Vida, a beautifully designed restaurant in Washington DC.


It sounds really nice, and DC is a really fun place to visit I will say that as well.


It's got torches on pedestals and it faces the water on the Wharf. The drinks sound yummy too.


Yeah they do, and fresh guacamole is always so good.


I'd try chipotle infused tequila with my guac and chips!


Yeah that also sounds super good, I love tequila!


Have you had queso fundido? It's like Mexican fondue, yum!


Yeah I have tried that before and it is really good I would agree!


Hello do you know any facts about netflix?


I will have to go check that out.  Netflix spends 20 times more on postage than bandwidth.  Pretty pricey but that's how they get subscribers to rent the new movies on dvd.


I guess they still have the DVD service, so what are your thoughts on the universe?


I think that it may be one giant superhologram from what I've read.


A lot of crazy theories out there, could be right also the one that we exist inside of a black hole


There is also a theory that there is only one electron in the universe.


Yeah I heard that one as well and think its crazy, but  I like to keep an open mind our model of the universes has advanced a lot since Copernicus, Newton


Yes lol  There are stars in the known universe that are cold enough to be touched by the human hand.  How would they even know this?


Years and years of science and improvement, but the curious thing is that the more we learn about the universe the more questions we have about it


I agree!  Do you watch Disney at all?  Bill Ney was the science consultant for Disney's Flubber.  I had no idea.  It's bee fun chatting with you!


I am a fan of Disney movies and I didnt know that I watch the movie but I guess I didnt pay much attention to that detail. It's been great chatting with you as well.


I do like for a fact that the company has about 137 million of subscribers worldwide


I can'be believe it's already been 20 years since the company was founded in 1997.


Its been a long time I agree, it started as a DVD rental service and now its the biggest service out there


It is.  From 9 PM to 12 AM Netflix accounts for 33 percent of allbandwidth in North America.  I'm part of that 33% lol


I think I am too, did you know that in the year 2000 Netflix proposed Blockbuster to use them as an online service, Blockbuster laughed at the idea


They should have taken them up on it and they would still be in business. lol


I know right, I bet they are regretting that decision big time Netflix is a giant of the industry now


They are for sure!  Together with youtube, they make up half of the peak internet traffic in North America.  So that means 1/2 the people online are watching videos.  lol


I guess both services are really popular did you know Netflix has 150 movies with a 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes? great content


Yup, what a force. How about Netflix, do you use it at all?


Since it's inception it has come a long way from streaming B-movies.


Yeah. Do you know how its founding came about? Whey that guy invented it?


Don't know, it's probably pretty cool though.


He was sick and tired of paying late fees for a VHS and decided to start something himself


What way to go, a multi-billion dollar organization. Good for him. I hear they have over 137 million subscribers now worldwide.


Yeah they have become huge for sure. And they still spend more money on postage than on bandwidth


Wow! Yeah 54 million subscriber in the US that's a lot of postage.


True. Too bad Blockbuster passed on their chance to but Netflix back in the day


Yeah i know there kicking themselves now. From 9pm- 12am Netflix account use 33% of all bandwidth in North America.


That is just amazing. What a company. It was really nice chatting with you.


Yes me too for almost everything. Did you know it takes more computing power to do a search in it than to send astronauts to the moon?


Didn't know that, wow! I do know that google used live goats to mow there lawn instead of hiring ppl.


So cool of them. DO you know how they calculate traffic?


Not sure bets it's equally as cool or boring but how do they do it?


They and see how fast android devices are moving on the road


Yeah tracking devices that we purchase and want to have, wow before long we will have given away all are so called freedoms.


Yup pretty much. Once Google went down apparently for 5 minutes and took 40% of web traffic with it. That is insane.


I know! That happened back in August of 2013 right?


HA! I get it now. Im an idiot. Nice joke!


Did you know ever president has been a republican or democrat since 1853.


Women were not allowed to wear pants until 1993. Sees sexist!


That is true.  Maybe they did it right in ancient athens, where leaders were appointed by lottery.


I had no idea that GOP stood for Grand Old Party. Seems like a really old white thing...


Well, every president with a beard was Republican, so who knows!


Truman refused to go on the dumbo ride for fear of being pictured on a elephant...


Truman was not a tall fellow, so might have trouble in contemporary politics.


I had no idea that red and blue for parties only started in 2000?


Yes.    If they changed the colors, do you think voter turnout might surpass 62.8%?


Not bad.   Do you know anything about Mitch McConnell?


I know very little. I used to watch a ton of politics but not any more. Too depressing. What about you?


I agree.    The Brett Kavanaugh thing was quite a debacle!


Yeah. Unlike the gavel they use for 165 year. That thing was solid!


Did you know the Senate still could choose the Vice President if the vote does not results in one candidate with a majority!


I did not. I would like to use the obsure rule and arrest enators to vote. Seems like a good plan!


A prison with a candy desk cannot be too terrible!


Well, it's still a prison. Did you mean Senate? I mean they may be synanyms....


Yes.    You arrest someone, you take them to prison, whether it is a jail or the Senate!


Do you know much about Kyle Kuzma and Lonzo Ball?


I know basketball about as well as Drake.  I know the main detail, teams and famous players, but I can't go beyond that.  I live near Cleveland, so I've very aware of LeBron, and that the Cavaliers suck now.


Yeah i thought it was pretty crappy of Lebron to do what he did to Cleveland. I mean he would have been one of the best ever no matter where he played. He could have done it for his home town team and been an even bigger legend in my opinion.


I remember the first time he left when people were burning his jerseys.  They forgave him when he returned and delivered a championship.  I Guess he feel he did his job.  Now he has to deal with Ball and Kuzma.


Yeah I just dont understand it. I dont even think they will win one in LA.


Probably just wants to be in California.  I can't blame him, I hate Ohio winters.


Yeah I am right across the state line from Oh. I live in WV. Winters do get pretty bad from time to time.


I dont really have one. I just like the game. I think NBA players are the best athletes in the world and they do some amazing things athletically.


I once did an event with a couple of Washington Wizards, they weren't that famous.  Those guys are massive, I'm six four but I had to look up to them and then they are twice as wide as me.


That sounds cool. Were they nice guys though.


I know they play for the Lakers. Thats about it.


Yeah, it was charity event.  they looked lie giants compared to the average person.


That's awesome. Well its been nice chatting with you this morning. I gotta be getting to work soon. Maybe ill talk to ya again sometime.


Not really my thing, I hear they like to give each other a hard time.


I think thats just young guys being young guys. I have certainly done some of that in my day.


I like the fact that Ball recorded a track to go after his friend.  That's showing commitment to the cause.


Yeah it is. I know they are just joking with each other but with it in the publicity like that. Its bound to draw negative attention. Especially if you mention a sensitive subject like someone not having their father around.


It's like you said, boys being boys.  It's just that in this day and age everyone can witness what you're doing online.  To get an artist like Drake involved is taking it about as far as it can go.


Yeah I'm not really sure who Drake is. I guess he is a rapper. Don't know what he sings though. Or raps, I should say.


I know the name and I know he's famous, but I could not tell you a single Drake song.


So are you an NBA fan. I used to watch it a lot more when I was a kid, but I still like to see the highlights from time to time. My favorite player was always Allen Iverson.


hey did you know kim jong-un has a degree in physics?


haha, have you seen the movie hair with john travolta? People said it was good but I haven't seen it yet


I have not. Isn't that old or am I thinking of hairspray?


ah you're right, ya the movie hairspray, they made a movie with john travolta of that play and he plays a woman, I just don't know how that works haha


I haven't seen that one... Not too interested in it. Did you see Mrs Doubtfire with Robin Williams dressed up as a grandma?


haha I did see that, I thought he did a great job I loved that movie as a kid what about you


I have not seen it. I watched the documentary on him and it was brilliant. He was such a great talent with so much trouble in his life.


ah what was the documentary called? I want to check that out I bet it is good like you said


Robin Williams: Come Inside My Mind. It was really good. Made me appreciate him in ways I hadn't before. I really didnt like him and thought he was annoying...


haha I mean I can definitely see him being annoying, I do like him in aladdin though, I don't know how will smith will compare to him in the new movie


That will be interesting to see. When does the new one come out?


I did not know that. I wonder where he got it from.


I think that it comes out this year? oh I looked it up its in may of this year, I won't be seeing that in a theater I can promise you that haha


ya I wondered if they just gave it to him because like, he is the supreme ruler and can kill people if he doesn't get his way


I mean... I would give him the degree cause I wouldn't want to get killed over it.


oh I agree, he could also be named genius of the world just so myself and my family would be harmed hah


Yeah. He's a weird little man... I wonder what he thinks of his meeting with Trump?


ya I wonder how that all is going to go down, I guess it's good they are finally talking but it will depend on what happens with the talks


Pixar spent three years studying the physics of curly hair in order to correctly render merida's hair in "brave". They should study Trump's hair! That would be great!


haha ya I'm definitely wondering about the science of his hair lol, like how does it work exactly?? haha


I would think they would just team up with a hair or shampoo company to figure it out. I did like the move and her hair was great!


Hi! Do you visit the library these days/


Oh my goodness, did you give her pointe shoes as gifts? I imagine it's a big expense if they go through that many pairs per week


haha she didn't go through 4 but ya always had feet problems and her shoes were always dinged up, very weird!


Ouch! It sounds quite painful, if she had stinky feet, you could put dry tea bags in the shoes to absorb the unpleasant odors. Natural and cost friendly, no of any other remedies like that?


lol I'll keep that in mind, did you know some shoes are designed specifically for things like skiing or hiking?


Yeah, I've seen those at outdoor shops like REI and Dick's Sporting Goods, any brand you recommend?


I like north face myself, but I haven't been hiking in a while, I hurt my ankle last time, do you ever wear hiking shoes?


Oh yeah, I like North Face as well they have kept me very warm in this cold weather recently. Yes, I wear hiking shoes ever since I've noticed how slippery some paths can be but they are quite expensive, more expensive than the line of shoes that Stephon Marbury promoted which only retailed for $15.


haha oh wow thats funny, did you know that 5000 year old shoes can perform better than some modern ones? I want to try those


Thats crazy! How does one still have access to 5000 year old shoes?


yes indeed! Did you hear what steve smith does after every nfl game he plays?


hi, I go sometimes, I like their collection of books dvds and audiobooks, you?


What does he do? I imagine he celebrates with one of those victory dances?


Yeah, once upon a time, I went to the library for DVDs and CDs as well before streaming was popular, but these days I go mainly for the books since I prefer traditional books over ebooks.


ya I agree with that, good to know there are more libraries than mcdonalds in the usa


Wow, how is that possible? But considering the vast amount of resources library provides, I suppose it's true. Like when a man was mistakenly imprisoned, he spend most of his time in the library to study law and prove his innocence!


that is impressive! I want to come out with a book in norway! the government will buy 1000 copies of any book that is published


That's really supportive! I wonder if it's enough to put into the number of libraries in Norway, if not you can convince them to support more!


haha good plan! and if you make a kids book they buy 1500 copies! instant guaranteed sales!


That's not bad at all, does the same hold true for shoes since professional ballet dancers go through 4 pairs of pointe shoes in a week, imagine the pain their toes are in!


yup! I dated a ballet dancer and her toes were always jacked! I don't recommend it for kids


Hello there what do you think of reddit.  Lot of people use it, like 542 million visitors.


Yes that is kind of neat, I read about football too, the US version.  There are so many sports called football one can get confused.


I don't follow any of them, I think Australian football is played on a non-rectangular field.


Yeah I believe it is called Australian rules football.  Kind of looks like rugby to me but what do I know.


So what kind of football do you follow ?


My favorite is college and I like the NFL too.  Times have changed since the 1960s when bowlers made more than pro football players thats for sure.


Things have changed indeed, 14 of the 25 largest stadiums belong to college football teams.


That is interesting, in the university of Iowa


How big is the stadium at the university of Iowa ?


Sorry hit the enter key on accident.  I actually dont know that but they painted their visitors locker room pink.  Haha!


That is funny. Football is a big business in the US in Texas, there is a stadium for a high school football team that cost 60$ million to build.


I use it from time to time to get news and laugh at stuff.


Wow that is a lot and that is just highschool.  Gridiron football is super popular in the US so it makes sense.


It is strange that other kinds of football are not as popular.


Yes I guess not enough tackling or hitting, I don't know.  Thanks for the chat!


It was actually founded by a couple of roommates named Steve Huffman and Alexis Ohanian around 2005 I believe.


In which country it is the  most popular ?


I would say the United States because around 60% of the userbase come from there.


Sure I read it for a couple of TV shows I watch, but I don't ever vote on it.  Less than 1% actually do lol.


Nor do I , don't post or vote. How much the company is valued ?


Good question, I believe it is around 2 billion now, not bad for a couple of roommates.  What do you read on it?


I read news, and video games new, I like the fact it an aggregator and I don't have to visit 10 websites.


I didn't know that! Did you know 86 percent of Nevada is owned by the Government?


Yes, I did. Do you know why? I was thinking military owns it.


I'm guessing that too, but I don't remember that many installations out there. Probably top secret stuff going on.


That's what I was thinking. Is it area 51? They say they see aliens out there!


I'm sure area 51 is highly secured and I believe there were aliens but who knows! I'm sure we'll never know!


There so advance now with everything, that things we don't know about. Think they are doing things in Antarctic also!


I bet! They should do testing in the ocean with Russian technology. They created a computer than ran on water in 1936.


Really water? I would like to see that! I'm excited to see all the new technology that will be coming out!


I am too! but don't smoke near Apple computers because it's considered a biohazard!


Yes, I wonder if that means candle smoke too? lol, Can the Chinese censor any more when the censor the word, censorship!! lol


Yes, I love to read, Its so relaxing when I can find the time.


That is too funny! Well have a good day!


It seems like I hardly ever find time lol. It would be better if I could have the record for 4700 words per minute!


Wow, that's alot! How do you understand what your reading at that speed? Louis Braille was a very smart 15 year old when he invented the braille.


I have no idea! I think braille is so amazing. Have you read Ender's Game?


No, I want to though. I heard there was a movie, do you know?


I've heard of the movie but never seen it. I think it's cool the military makes people read it.


Yes, I do too. Speaking of the government, isn't  it interesting J.P Morgan bailed out the US in 1895!


I believe it! That man had so much money! The government has come a long way! I wish our country donated 1 billion dollars to help the amazon rainforest like Norway did.


Yes, isn't that great!  Did you know if you renounce your citizenship, there is a publication with everyone's full names?


They did, not like Benz, they made the first model but Im guessing it was only for rich people, I guess things havent changed that much


yes, a luxury car for the elite. well, if you want money, you have to go to where the money is.


Do you know how the drive-thru got started,?


i assumed that the demand for faster fast food pushed the companies to make the drive thru.


That and also to accommodate soldiers, turned out to be a great invention, a lot of money


soldiers? ok. i guess they have a lot of rules about cars and uniforms and such. that makes sense. good for mcds!


Seems unfair they were not allowed to get out of their cars wearing their fatigues, good thing that has changed now.


yes, i think so too. the rules in the military often dont make sense. do you like reading?


I do like reading, do you? what genres do you like


I like nonfiction mostly. it is good to stay informed. too much noise out there. Anyway, great chat!


i dont. is that about a guy and a dozen women who try to win his heart?


I like fiction books but non fiction are also nice, its been a pleasure have a nice day


Yeah thats the one, only its 15 women not 12, I find the show interesting


and the winner gets what? a husband? a prize? is the guy special in some way?


They get a chance to be with the rich bachelor, mostly fame, they get really popular and I guess they also get really expensive gifts


oh, the expensive gifts. that makes sense. i though maybe he was a celebrity. he is from a rich family. its good to be rich i guess.


Its a really popular show, but anyways do you like cars?


I do have a car and love it, I have a Ford, interesting how the Ford company made the first mass produced model


Ford really made the car for the people. the average person finally had a useful mode of transport that they could fix on their own.


No, he would probably dress you down for your lack of style and then get the crowd to mock you LOL


lol right.  Before eminem became a rapper he wanted to become a comedian.


A comedian? i never knew that. i heard that he wanted to write comic books. he could do either one now with all his money.


Oh wow, thats awesome too. Yeah he could do whatever he wants honestly lol


Yeah, he is set. He could start a comedy club and a comic book company. By the way, do you like Kanye?


No, not really I think his head is too big but not filled with enough knowledge.


He is a weird man.  I agree his head is too big,  he always says hes the best rapper,  his songs are hardly on the radio at all lol and hes rude!


Yeah, he has done some impudent things. taking mics from people on stage. He thinks AIDS is man made. What? Anyway, great chat!


Hello, yes I like some of it, how about yourself?


I dont really know much about the genre. i am more interested in melody and harmony. who do you like?


Bryce Vine, Cardi B,  Drake.  Did you know Tupac took ballet classes?


I heard that he danced ballet in high school. He was a talented dancer.


Korean rappers invented a new rap battle, "compliment battle" lol That sounds awesome!


I bet they come up with interesting compliments. I would how they determine the winner.


Yes, get the greatest number of compliments in the time limit. that would work. I wonder if tupac could do that.


lol probably not,  he doesnt seem like the type to shower you with compliments lol


I love working on my computer.  I got my first one back in the late 70s


That is cool.  I was surprised to learn that Jupiter has radio storms so loud you can pick them up on AM radio


That's amazing. Did you know Bill Murray voiced Fantastic Four's Human Torch in the 70s?


No I had never heard of that.  I knew soldiers in WWII made radios using a razorblade and a pencil - very creative


That's extremely resourceful. a song by Hanson became the most requested song on a radio station because the DJs didn't reveal the artist! ha those are the Mmmbop guys.


Smart djs!  I love going to the website where I can listen to old classic radio dramas for free.  War of the worlds is a great one


Oh yeah that's the one where listens who tuned in late thought aliens were actually attacking the Earth right?


Thats the one!  A big deal!  Sounds a lot better than the finish station which broadcasts in Latin


I meant "listeners," sorry. It must have been really believable! One of the most popular radio acts was actually a ventriloquist in the 30s.


A ventriloquist?  On radio?  That is unique..  I wonder if he was Canadian - their stations have to have at least 40% of music be canadian


Yep, that fact even baffles contemporary critics. I'm a big fan of poetry and there's a 274 line poem called Chaos because there are 800 irregularly pronounced English words.


I got mine sometime in the late 90s! I was in grade school and it was exciting to own one. The first computer algorithm was written by Ada Lovelace.


Wow!  That is insane.  That is a lot of words.


Yes Ada did a lot.  I was lucky we never smoked - it would have voided the warrenty on our macs.


Around the time my family got their first computer, Windows 95 was the 2nd most installed piece of software. The first was Doom. I'm pretty sure I had 98 though.


Nice.  Did you know that someone once built a working computer using the building blocks of minecraft?  crazy


I didn't know that and that's very interesting. The first Google compute at Stanford was housed in custom made enclosures made from Legos.


I love Legos!  The Russians even made one out of water - I have no idea how!


I love Legos too! And how did they accomplish that? I have to look into it. I just learned that CAPTCHA actually stands for something- completely automated public tuning test to tell computers & humans apart! That's a mouthful.


Wow that is a mouthful.  Maybe I should just upload my mind to my Mac like the transhumanists want to do


That would help me remember things! Radios are amazing technology too. There's a radio station that translates solar activity into sound, so you can listen to music from the sun.


Yeah positivity is a graet mindset to follow, do you like to watch TV?


A bunch.  Game of Thrones,  Westworld,  Homeland,  The flash,  FRIENDS, How I Met Your Mother,  some others too.


Those are pretty good, do you also like the Simpsons?


Do you have any favorites?  Yes,  I like the simpsons,  but I haven't watched it in awhile.


I like Arrow, Gotham and Lethal Weapon right now, and I used to be a big fan of the Simpsons, I hardly watch them anymore.


Those are good shows too.  Did you know theres an episode of the simpsons where Bart is not in or mentioned?


No I didnt know that, why would they take the star out of the show that doesnt make sense lol


It's probably just one of those things that writers like to throw in there, maybe they just wanted to see if we would notice lol I always thought Homer was the star lol I hear he had like 180 jobs on the show.


Hello,  yes,  I do like drama films.  How about yourself?


Thats really funny, Homer just kills me, his the best lol


I like them as well, also drama shows like House, Hugh Laurie is a great actor he eans a lot of money


Ive actually never seen that show,  any good?


Its great, I love the show you should try it out, he actually gets paird around $700,000 per episode, I wouldnt know what to do with that much cash


Im not sure, I used to watch it on TV but maybe, do you like Jim Carrey?


Yeah I love Jim Carrey.  I actually just wated Liar Liar again last night,  one of my favorites from him lol


One of my favorites as well, too bad he doesnt make dramas anymore but I have to respect his reason


Yeah,  I hear he is taking the positive roles now.  Which I think is fantastic!


That is pretty crazy.  They better get on that.  Cities are not easy to build.


No they arent. I would say they will get it done though.


They will, yet they probably wont have a lot of money made from it.  Those places that host never usually do well with it.


I think a lot of it is just getting exposure to the world as a vacation destination and a place to do business.


I mean, most people would never just pick qatar to travel to, so it is doing that for them


I dont know that americans would ever want to go there. It just doesnt sound too inviting to me.Lol


Most places don't this day in age.  The world seems so hostile.


I did!  I still have mine.  It was the best game system ever


I dont know. I think they just keep getting better and better. I loved the super nintendo. That one was awesome.


Never really watched it to much. Its not nearly as popular here as it is around the world.


I never had that one, I had NES, N64, and a Wii


I had all those. The super nintendo had this ken griffey jr game. I played that one for hours.


I was always trying to save the princess.  In only 54 colors though.  Crazy


It is, and it was always fun to try to rescue the princess. Lol.


Much better than using chickens for entertainment like they did back in 50bc.  That is what lack of nintendo must do to people


I could see raising chickens being entertaining.


I dont even have a pet, so it would likely stress me out.


Well you could always throw food for the chickens when you're stressed. Lol


Lol.  Poor Chickens.  but then again, my aim isnt that good, so theyd probably be safe.


Just throw grain. Then you can tell people you are feeding the chickens and how much it calms you down.


Can I do that to people?  Throw food at them and claim I am feeding them?


I have just never got into it myself. I do know the womens US team is always good.


They have always been on the podium since the first cup in 91


Thats pretty amazing. Now we just need the mens soccer team to do a little better.


For real, they havent done well since 1930, where they got first.


Thats just crazy. Did you hear about the 2022 olympics.


Hi there, seen any good videos on YouTube lately?


I'm sure there are plenty of sites devoted to the underappreciated goats on the internet--you can find anything there!


I'm sure I can spend all night looking at goats online- the Internet is measurably addicting!


Yes, it's kind of crazy that the 3 line horizontal line menu is named after an addicting food, the hamburger haha


I love hamburgers too! Maybe I'll use one of the online food delivery services to buy a half dozen cheeseburgers. I am getting hungry now anyway.


I wonder if they deliver to Mt. Everest--you can get internet access even up there!


I'm sure nobody delivers to the top of Mt. Everest, though maybe they deliver to base camps at the bottom.


They have to spend a lot of time acclimating at base camp, it's a good thing they have so much entertainment available online to keep them from getting bored. They definitely have time to read those full terms for services and products, which only 7% of people do.


I'm sure only 7% of those 7% actually understand what they're reading. I sure don't!


No, not everyone is as smart as the founders of Google, who met while they were pursuing PhDs at Stanford.


I wonder if they could have predicted how big their company would become, seems like a lot of these Internet sites were started by college students.


I watch Youtube daily, am subscribed to many channels.


They certainly were ambitious, although I'm sure other people tried other ways. Nice chatting!


Did you know it is the second largest search engine on the internet?


Yes, and together with Netflix they make up half of North American internet traffic!


Yes, and they also provide access to content from partners like CBS, the BBC, and Hulu, so they're kind of doing double duty!


Youtube is one of many Internet services owned by Google.


Yes, it's pretty crazy that they only paid $1.65 billion for it in 2006!


Googleplex, the Google headquarters, is located in Mountain View, California since 2015. They are reorganizing as a corporate entity called Alphabet in which Google will continue to be the company providing their Internet services.


Yes, they used to use goats instead of humans to mow their lawns there.


Goats are awesome, my niece loves them! They don't get enough attention compared to other farm animals.


I have not. But I do like all things Disney. I like that the movie Wall-E was a tip of the hat to Walter Elias Disney.


Bill Nye was a consultant on flubber to make sure they were getting the science right.


That's great that they wanted to be so accurate. Disney is always doing the best to be accurate. When they made the movie Big Hero 6 they used a 55000 core supercomputer!


Wow, that sounds like a really powerful computer.


Disney does have an eye for detail. They modeled Aladdin's pants after MC Hammer. And they really look the same.


Wow.  I never thought of that before.  They really do. I wonder why Roy didnt take more credit in the company.


I am not sure. It is impressive that they started it in October 1923 and how big is has grown almost a hundred years later.


It really has, the mousehead is iconic.  There are theme parks everywhere, and they even own Star Wars.


Well thanks for chatting with me. I have learned so many new and interesting things!


Well, I just learned that New Yorks area code is 212 because it was the fastest number to dial on a rotary phone.


I would have thought that the fast number to dial would be for emergency services.


That's a good point. 9 is the longest number to dial. I bet people didn't use their phones like we do today. UNICEF will donate a day of clean water for every minute we do not use our phones.


That is fantastic, Ill have to look into that, It would be a great way to help.


I also learned today that Minnie Mouse's real name is Minerva Mouse. I think that was a good change.


I was shocked with that one.  All my life I just thought she was Minnie.  I now wonder if Mickey is short for something too.


It would be nice to find out. It might be a hidden fact, just like there is a whole subculture dedicated to finding hidden Mickey's in all things Disney


I have friends who are super into it and have shown me a few.  Have you seen any?


Hi there do you have an iPhone or an Android?


They sure are. Do you listen to the radio much?


Yes I listen to Pandora Radio. How about you?


Yes me too. Their net income is $-16 million and the revenue is $274 million


Wow that is so strange. Now they are streaming stand up comedy.


That is nice they are diversifying their stream. When Swift removed her music from iTunes she still kept it in Pandora


Maybe that means more of her fans moving over to Pandora, so that is good revenue right there


Yeah that is true. Have you ever played Nintendo?


I have actually. Did you know it only had 54 colors?


Wow that is it? Too bad it got discontinued in Japan in 2003 though


That  is true, I have some fond memories of it. Do you know who Bill Nye is?


Hi, I have an iPhone. Do you know when the first one was released?


Yeah he is the science guy who got his break by winning a Steve Martin lookalike contest.


Haha yeah that is pretty cool. Nice chat.


Yeah that was back on 2007, seems so long ago now


I know it sure does. Among users, women are more likely to own one than men


Oh cool fact. Microsoft in fact held a funeral to mark the death of the iPhone when they launched theirs


Wow that did not work very well because the iPhone has had tremendous sales


Exactly. Have you heard of the game send me to heaven?


I did, and Apple banned it because people were supposed to throw the phones as high as possible and risked damaging them


That is so stupid. When Steve Jobs presented it first he has identical ones hidden because they kept crashing


Yeah it kept running our of ram and that is why it crashed. Those days are over though


Hello,  do you watch basketball? Did you know granny style shooting is the best way to get points.


Yeah lol luckily Nike paid the fines!  Good way to get advertising!


Heck yeah . I would imagine the amount they paid wasn't nearly the amount the made from the brand itself.


Did you know the inventor of basketball is the only losing coach in the history of kansas university?


I did his name was James naismith. That's pretty ironic.


Yes!  lol I hope he gets royalties or something because this sport generates a lot of money!


Yes even New Zealand has a team called the Tall blacks.


Even the supreme court buidling has a court on their top floor. Basketball appears to be big everywhere .


Right!  That is nice and convenient for people who spend too much time at their job.


Wonder if they are playing now during the shut down . Lol Anyway, do you read any poetry ?


Yes! I watch Basketball. I've been following The Wizards especially their guard Bradley Beal.


Not really.  I dont mind it.  Its been great talking to you!


Oh yeah,  you are a fan of the Wizards?  I really like the Golden State Warriors.


Yes. Team member Howard completed 36 of 51 shot attempts . He's a really awesome player. Who's good on the Warriors ?


Oh yeah ! He is good. I never knew the NBA had a team in Canada.  There are 30.  29 are in the U.S. and one is in canada.


That is really interesting.  I didn''t realize Canada played basketball lol


I recall you said that granny style was the best technique. So , I read up on it and the reason they don't do it is because they think it looks stupid. wow.


Yeah!  The goal of the game is to score points,  who cares if it looks stupid  They are getting paid crazy amounts of money to play effectively.  Although it would be pretty funny to see a silhouette of a granny shooting on a side of a shoe lol


That would be funny! Speaking of shoes did you know that Jordans were banned by the NBA?


I don't know a lot of his songs to be honest with you. Are you?


A little bit I suppose. Did you know that his song gold digger is in a minor. the only song of the top ten most succesfuls songs to be that way.


I can believe that. I didn't know that there were only a few songs to be written in that key that are successful though.


Kanye is a little bit different. He says some pretty off the wall stuff. Did you know he said aids is a man made disease.


Yeah, I remember that. Apparently he has a GPA of 3.7?


Actually that is big sean with the 3.7 GPA. Big Sean also turned down a scholarship to go to michigan state.


Oh, nice. Did you know the first president of zimbabwe was called president banana?


I heard that. The president of indonesia has released three albums while in office.


Yeah, Banana is actually his real last name. Well, nice chatting with you!


Nice chatting with you as well. Have a great day.


I have not. I would love to go sometime though.


It is pretty cool. I've gone on a tour. Did you know they use floppy disks for storing files?


Get with the times huh. Did you know that teddy roosevelt banned christmas trees from the white house.


Yeah, I heard he was a conservationalist.


After 9 11 it took the secret service 4 days to realize that there was bullets shots at the white house.


I remember that. I live in the area. Pretty crazy, huh?


I heard that George W bush had solar panels put back on the white house. I am interested to know who actually put them on ion the first place and then who took them off.


Well on another note. Are you a kanye West fan?


The Shining, It, The Mist. All scary and crazy endings!


Didn't see either one. When I was a kid, Psycho was the big horror movie. There's been a ton of motel-themed horror films since Psycho, I know.


That is true, I like those, kind of thrillers. In the movie the Shining, there was a boy named Danny in it that never knew it was a horror movie he was in until years later


Maybe that was a good thing - for the kid. Wasn't that a Jack Nicholson film?


Yea, it was set in a snowy hotel I think. Did you hear what horror films do for abstract art?


Let me guess. After viewing blood, guts, torture and gore, the art actually looks good!?


Yes lol! I don't know what it triggers in the brain, but it happens! Do you like Rock music?


Sure, even though it's always been connected to violence in some ways. Concerts turned bloody when stands collapse; premature deaths of some rock greats...


I never thought of it that way, but valid point! I think about the turnover of some bands too like Whitesnake


Weren't they a band with a revolving door of band members?


Actually, no, though some say watching them helps burn calories. Some kind of fear factor?


For sure, they had like 50 members since their start! It was nice chatting with you, enjoy your weekend!


I bet, I think it is like 180 calories per movie. I can watch 10 per day and get rock hard abs soon


As long as you don't use them to chop up victims! Some horror film plots seem predictable, almost silly. People do laugh at horror films, don't they?


lol I won't, just for the beach! They all seem predictable lol, you can yell dont go into the room in almost every one!


Of course, yet I bet the characters always do. It's the violence - and the unexpected shocks - that I don't enjoy.  What's the scariest movie you ever saw?


I enjoyed the VHS horror movies, they are little know but scary. There was a ghost one on netflix too, 2 of them, and they were great also. How about you?


Silence of the Lambs. Scared for Jodie Foster's character. Thought Anthony Hopkins played creepiest character I've ever seen!


that is awesome and a great movie! I like the stephen king films too, what about you?


Right. I wonder if wolves have blood types similar to the 12 that exist among dogs. There are even blood drives for dogs


It must be really complicated to have to have that many blood types on hand. Also it must be hard to get blood donations.


I can't imagine most dogs being large enough to give much blood, especially some as small as Chihuahuas


And they can't exactly "volunteer," so hopefully it comes mainly from dogs who are calm and relaxed and aren't bothered by it too much.


True. And since they're not actually colorblind, they might be capable of seeing the red of blood


I don't think colorblind humans are technically colorblind either -- they just see red and green as the same color.


Or some variant of that. It's likely similar with dogs


IIRC only a relatively few species see red and green as separate colors -- mainly the primates, and some birds.


And elephants are the only other animal apart from dogs who understand pointing


They're so smart! They pass the mirror test and remember their dead when they pass them following their old trails.


Dogs really are smart. That might be why Google likes dogs more than cats!


I'm not sure, but I heard that one of the significant characters was killed off


Yes -- a dog, I believe. Are you interested in cars?
