I guess. Did you know Lincoln was the first one to be photographed during inauguration?


Cool, those must be interesting to see in this day and age


Yeah and JOhn Wilkes booth was in the photo too


Tiny then. the star at the center of the Solar System.


Do you like reading? Starship troopers is the first sci-fi novel on the reading lists of three of the five us military branches


Thats fun! I do like to read, you? another fact about the sun, It is by far the most important source of energy for life on Earth.


I do like to read,  but I mostly do audible now so I can listen to books. The world record for speed reading is held by anne jones, with a reading speed of 4,700 words per minute


do you have to comprehend when you speed read? That is what reading is supposed to be, comprehension.


Reading requires creativity and critical analysis. I bet with speed reading you don't get that.


Maybe. Cs lewis and tolkien held "you laugh you lose" competitions when reading terrible poetry


I see that. I also see the Ender's game is suggested reading for the marines.


Yeah,  me too,  thats pretty cool. In the 18th century there was a "moral panic" because of the spread of the reading of novels.


Hello,  how are you doing?  Did you know The sun is actually white, only perceived as yellow because of atmospheric scattering


Could you imagine! Just because people were reading!


That kinda makes no sense lol reading is good for people,  why the panic?  Great talking to you.


I had no idea! Guess I hadn't thought of it. The Capital Gazzette is out of business now. The one where there was a shooting.


yeah,  that's really sad.  But, A lightning bolt is hotter than the surface of the sun, about 5x hotter.


Thats amazing info!  "5 shot dead at The Capital," read the headline of the article written by 10 journalists on the day five of their colleagues were killed.


crazy.  The sun produces enough energy in one second to meet the needs of the entire planet for 500 000 years.


Too bad we can't harness that! Atop the front page were pictures and names of those killed: Gerald Fischman, Rob Hiaasen, John McNamara, Rebecca Smith and Wendi Winters.


Yeah,  I saw.  On july 11th, 2011, neptune completed its first full orbit around the sun since its discovery in 1846


Jarrod Ramos, charged with five counts of murder in what authorities said was a targeted shooting, was held without bond after a hearing Friday morning in an Annapolis courtroom.


Thats good,  justice for the people. The sun is only 1 billionth the size of the biggest star discovered in our galaxy


They are pretty good and they even had 300+ concerts in 2001 alone due to their sucess


Thats a lot of concerts for a year, I loved their first album it was a success indeed.


Speaking of concerts have you ever listened to the ramones? They played a total of 2000 concerts and toured for nearly 20 years


I have too bad I didnt make it to any of their concerts, they are a really talented group.


I agree. Personally I am a fan of the piano for most songs


Piano is a great instrument I really like it, it has such a relaxing tone, in the 30s the BBC network decided to broadcast piano music instead of the news


Did you know a group of climber reach britain's highest mountain peak and found a piano. Someone must really like the piano


I agree I would be too busy getting freezed to play the piano, that must require a lot of hard physical work though.


I sure respect Bartolomeo for inventing such a beautiful instrument so far back in the 1700s.


Wow that was 300 years ago! the piano is an old instrument, there is also an aluminum grand piano


I do, I listen to classical music when Im working what about you?


I didn't know that. In any case thank you for the chat. I am going to look up what the aluminum grand piano looks like after this chat.


I enjoy listening to classical music in a serene space, but did you know classical music concerts originally had loud wild audiences?


I didnt thats a cool fact, another cool fact is that a computer composed a classical music master piece back in 2011


I wonder if it was any good? In any case, classical music isn't just music. Cities are using it to successfully deter crime in public space with remarkable results


They are? that application is suprising and new to me have you attended any good concerts lately?


I recently attended Joe Hisaishi's concert. He has amazing melodies and it would be perfect music to listen to in a beautifully scenic place in nature


I haven heard of that artist I might look him up in Youtube later today, there is a roman amphitheatre in Cratia that its still used for concerts, it would be amazing to attend a concert there


did you know creed concerts entered into 4 lawsuits, I think I would be fine


Thats too bad Creed used to be a great band, do you like Linking Park?


It's so weird to think that the Cubs is only one of the two baseball teams in Chicago.


Yes that is pretty funny.  They have always been unique - they have had pitchers with 4, 5, and 6 fingers!


That's pretty neat. Can you believe the Ottoman empire was still in existence when the Cubs first won the World Series?


Wow that was a long time ago!   They have appeared in 11 world series total - apparently they were a lot better a hundred years ago!


I love watching the World Series, though the Women's World Cup had higher ratings.


Yes the World Series is great fun to watch.  The Fall Classic is always exciting.  I am not sure if I like it better with the playoffs than how it used to be with just the best record which went.


Baseball is so popular in Japan, they are always surprised to hear it is America's National pasttime.


Yes.  I think its funny the reason that baseball managers wear a uniform is that they are actually allowed to play!


Wow! I wonder if the same is true for the Kickball managers, or soccer-baseball in Canada.


I never realized that there was a couple who scheduled all of the major league games every year - all the way up until 2005!


I do.  I love watching the Chicago Cubs in the NL.


I wish my parents had collected baseball cards.  One lucky guy found 3 million dollars worth of cards of his grandfathers!


It was so awesome to see them finally win the World Series in 2016.


Yes that was so exciting!    Especially after a 108 year drought!


Totally! They were the first team to ever win back-to-back World Series, then nothing.


Yes I do love Wrigley field where they play - its within the city


Did you know they evidently didn't win for so long because they were "cursed" by a man named Billy because Wrigley Field security would let him stay there with his pet goat?


Yes - who takes a goat to a baseball game?  But 5 million people celebrated in the streets after they finally won!


I would have, too! For one of the oldest teams in the major league? What a day.


Yes.  The Cubs and Atlanta are the two oldest teams - founded the same year as the battle of little bighourn!


Oh yeah, I absolutely have to! It's like a primal instinct and I can't take it anymore! I was reading about Cornell University and I guess they require students to pass a basic swim test before the can graduate.


My daughter's college in Massachusetts used to but not anymore.  Just don't tie your feet with shoelaces anymore especially in deep water  lol


Yeah, that was pretty dangerous now that I think about it! And also I'm not as spry as as I used to be. Haha! Did you know that in 1936, the russian's made a computer that ran on water?


I did not.  That sounds different.  I wonder how powerful it was considering it was 1936.


Probably not too powerful, but hey, what do I know! I was shocked when I found out that the space shuttle's general purpose computer runs on only 1MB of ram! No idea how they managed that!


Me either.  Did you know that Bell made a manual computer from cardboard in 1968 to show high school kids how computers work?


That's a great way to teach the kids about computers! I hope they don't turn into transhumanists! That's people who want to upload their minds to computers and memory sticks! Sounds scary to me!


I agree.  I am already creeped out by the people who use those VR gadgets on their face.  They look like that have left out world for another.


Yeah, those sounds completely dangerous! No thanks! I deal with enough drama without not being able to see what's right in front of me!


Did you know Ada Lovelace wrote the first computer algorithm?  Her name sounds made up like from a children's story.


Yes, I live in Maine so i have to go the Y in winter.  How about you?


No, I didn't know, but I think that's a very pretty name! Sadly I smoke cigarettes and thank goodness I don't use an Apple computer. Because if I did, smoking near the computer would void the warranty on account of it being "Hazardous Waste!"


I don't like to nag but you know cutting back on your cigarettes would help your health and your swimming this summer.  Sorry for nagging


:) It's perfectly fine! I appreciate it! I do plan to quit soon! I've been making big lifestyle changes and seeing all these great results! It was so nice chatting with you!


Same to you.  Have fun swimming this summer!


Thanks I will! You have a wonderful night! :)


Oh, I love swimming! But it's been too long! Something like 16 to 18 years! I'm Native American and I just found out that we introduced the front crawl swimming stroke to the west when we beat the british who only used the breaststroke!


That is awesome!  Hey, did you that Michael Phelps has more summer gold medals than most countries?  Isn't that crazy


No, I didn't know. But it's easy to believe that guy is amazing! I've heard that he eats so much food, to have that kind of energy!


Yes, I thought I heard he used to eat 6000 calories a day because he burns so many calories training in the pool.  I would assume he has cut back on his eating now that he is retired.


I sure hope so! There is a type of competitive swimming where the athlete has their hands and legs bound, and swims like a dolphin! I use to tie my feet together with shoelace and pretend to be a mermaid!


Too cute.  Did you know that most swimmers won at the 2008 Olympics wearing a type of swimsuit that was so good it became banned?


No, but I'm going to try to buy one for when I do go swimming again. I aim to do it this summer no matter what! Especially considering that swimming is among the top public recreational  activities, I feel so left out not having done it in so long.


You should.  It a great low impact workout.  Find a nice place to swim and go for it!


They are expensive.  Would you want them to play basketball in or just for the looks?


I see,  that is an expensive hobby then lol


Yeah. If only I had some of that Allen Iverson money.


Right!  yeah I hear hes got a really good contract with Reebok.


Did you know granny style shooting has proven to be most efficient type of shooting?


I wonder if that's how Cheryl Miller broke 8 national records.


I like to watch it, but I'm not good at it myself. What about you?


I was saying I dont know if granny style shooting is how she broke 8 national records.


Would you stay and play in college for 4 years like Tim Duncan or go right to the NBA and get that money?


If I had skills in basketball I would go straight to the nba,  but maybe tim duncan wanted a back up plan or something lol Its been really great chatting!


I watch a few games a year,  I dont really follow it though.


Yeah I do.  Did you know the inventor of basketball is the only losing coach in university of kansas?


There is a basketball court in the top floor of the Supreme Court building.


Hey there do you like the NBA? It's composed of 30 teams


No I haven't. Is he good at basketball? I also didn't know that the Golden State Warriors play their games at Oracle Arena and one year it was booked so they had to play their final game somewhere else haha


When Seth Curry and Mychel Thompson were playing on the Golden State Warriors, their brothers, Steph, and Klay, respectively, were playing together on the Santa Cruz warriors.


That's interesting. Do you listen to jazz music by the way? I know Clint Eastwood uses it in his films a lot


I like to listen to live jazz. I guess trumpeters don't only use goatees for style. It is to provide comfort when playing.


Maybe I should try growing that haha. Although I do only play the drums. have you heard of the Pakistani Jazz Orchestra?


It would still be stylish! A harlem woman has held free jazz concerts at her apartment every Sunday for twenty years. Sounds interesting. Sometimes top performers stop by.


That actually sounds cool. I wonder if your neighbors are ok with that though haha. I could see things getting really loud. And yeah the Pakistani Jazz Orchestra is topping the charts right now. Although I've never heard of them


Yeah I have never heard of them either. I guess there are even programming languages that have jazz like harmonies!


Wow that sounds cool! And yes Clint Eastwood scores a lot of his films with jazz. One of them was Million Dollar Baby. I like that movie a lot, what did you think?


I don't know if I have watched it. I will have to check it out.


I do not really follow the NBA though I do have to say that the warriors are my favorite team.


Yeah you should. Do you like any other Clint Eastwood movies? Like I said they all have jazz in them haha


I see. I like the Warriors. I also like the Pistons because I live in Michigan


The Warriors have had a ton of talent and have been to the Finals in the past three seasons.


I guess they were founded in 1946 in Philadelphia Pennsylvania. Then they relocated to San Francisco in 1962


Cool, and this year they had the best net rating in the NBA.


Somehow they earned 12 million dollars after losing game 4. This was last year. Can you explain how that's possible haha I just don't get it


Thats pretty good if you get paid that much even when you lose! Haha. I'm not sure how that works either.


What do you think about Stephen Curry? It's nice of him that he donates mosquito nets for every 3-pointer he makes


That is cool. Have you heard of Seth Curry? He is also a basketball player and Stephen Curry's brother.


I hope he was happy with the end result! 10 years is so long to be working on something.


It really is, I think the film did pretty well over all.  I think the Dream within a dream concept is neat.


and definitely very unique. The plot was hard to follow at times but I think they did an awesome job to make sure the audience never got too lost.


oh man, do you think the top fell? Or was he still in a dream?


Part of me thinks he was in a dream, but the top wasnt his totem, it was his wifes.  So  maybe it was her dream all along.


That's a good point. I like the ambiguity about the ended, it keeps people talking!


It definitely does, and leaves you open for a sequel if you so desire.


You remember that rotating hallway fight scene? That wasn't CG at all. It was just a massive rotating set. They were really committed to making that scene cool


Wow, that is pretty cool, was that one of the ones where were flying and floating because of the dream?


Such an incredible movie, it was supposed to be a horror film to start too!


Im glad it wasn't. i'd be too scared to watch!. I'm going to go watch it now. Good chatting with you!


Nice chatting to you too!  Have a great day!


I have! I love that movie, Leo is one of my favorite actors


He is awesome!  Pretty diverse in his abilities!


I did, even three times in the theaters I believe and a few on TV.  I loved it.


wow, that many times? Did you ever notice Elon Musk's wife on screen?


No, I didnt.  Although I dont quite know who his wife is.


I'm not sure either, thats a cameo I probably wouldn't notice. Did you know the movie was supposed to star WIll Smith or Brad Pitt as Cobb? That would have been entirely different movie


It would have, I can imagine anyone other than Leo in that role.  It took Nolan 10 years to write Inception, so he was probably thinging about it the entire time.


Any object! So yes lol....must have been interesting!! As funny as if you grunt...before a shot...it is by some considered to be cheating!


Really, there is so much grunting in tennis.  The longest match was 11 hours long over 3 days!


Wow, I could never last that long! Speaking of Serena Williams, I didn't know she went pro at age 13! That is amazing....and she is co owner of the Miami Dolphins...wow!


She co-owns the dolphins and was a pro at 13!  Wow, she is really incredible.


I think she is! Speaking of amazing...imagine this...the worlds fastest rapper can rap 14.1 syllables per second!


That is crazy, can anyone even understand that?


I am not sure but I would love to hear it! Talk about funny, McDonald's at one time paid rappers 5 bucks every time they said Big Mac in their songs hahahaa....crazy


I bet they were dropping Big Mac lines like crazy!


I bet they were too! lol! There is even a rapper who is deaf! he raps in sign language, very interesting!


Wow, Id like to watch that.  Great Chat!  Have a great night!


I haven't but I hear they are really powerful messages in this age of people stepping forward about sexual harassment.


It is all about there is no wrong way to be a woman.


Yes, ans inequality among races and gender. I like Serena.


I really think she is a great driving force and a good role model to girls.


Yes, definitely! I agree. She is happy to have such a powerful platform to try and pave the way for upcoming generations.


Very true.  Did you now polo shirts were initially invented be a famous tennis player?


That is interesting! Did you know in Tennis years ago you were allowed to use any object as your racket? Haha


Yes. THe NZ basketball team are called the tall blacks


I do a bit but they are really bad for the environment


Yes they use a lot of water, in the US on average of 312 000 gallons per day per course


Yeah and there is one in Dubai that uses 4 million gallons per day


Yeah that is such a waste for something so artificial


True. Babe Ruth was a very accomplished golfer once too


Yeah, he was the most famous golfer in America


Yeah. Samuel Jackson is also a golfer and he has it in his contract too


Yeah, he gets 2 weeks between filmings to play golf


Yes I do. Do you know who Kareem Jabbar is?


Yes he plays it smart. Nice chatting with you


Yes the guy that was the master of the dunk shot


Yes and because of that the shot got banned for a while


Yes. Do you know who invented the sport?


That was James Naismith. a coach at U of Kansas


Yes and the only losing coach in their history


Yeah ironic. THe coaches are the highest paid employees in many states nowadays


Yeah. Have you heard of the highest court in the land?


Yes that is on the top floor of the US Supreme Court


Hello. Do you like TV? I don't watch it as much anymore because I'm tired of watching commercials. Too much mass advertisement.


Yes I wonder as well. I think it's funny Michael Caine when into acting for the girls!


I would too if there were cute girls in my drama class lol! I wish I would have taken Jon Hamm's drama class though!


Yeah me too. He's one of my favorite actors. Ellie Kemper was lucky to have him as a teacher.


I agree! She's had some success for sure! Have you ever listened to any radio dramas?


Definitely. In the past I believe I have but not so much anymore. If I did like radio dramas I would definitely use that website that has thousands of episodes for free.


Me too! Free is best! Do you know some of the celebrities that voiced Thomas the Tank Engine?


Free is always best. Yeah I do know some of those celebrities. I think I would most like to hear the narration by Alec Baldwin because he is one of my favorite actors.


Me too! I think it's cool they do that! Have you ever seen that 70's show?


Yes I used to love that 70s show. Ashton Kutcher was one of my favorite characters. I have never seen the UK version days like these however.


I've never heard it either, but maybe because it lasted only 10 episodes in the UK!


I agree with you on that one! I did watch the Simpsons and South Park back then.


True I guess it's not even worth seeing. They should not have remade it verbatim they should've switched up little bit. Well I had fun talking with you today. Hope you have a good one.


I agree! I had a nice time chatting too, have a great day!


Yes me too both great shows. There is only one episode of The Simpsons where Bart neither appears nor is mention. But I don't think I've seen it.


I wonder if you don't even notice it watching it in real time because you get so into the show?


Maybe so. Have you ever watched pokemon? There are over 750 episodes.


I used to as a kid back in the day. There were only like 150 pokemon at that time haha. That is like 50 episodes a year for 16 years straight!


Yes now there are so many! It was a great thing as a kid. Do you like drama? The term Drama is Greek in origin and means action.


I do like them. I can't believe how much Hugh Laurie made on House!


Yes he's the highest paid actor ever for TV drama earning $700,000 per episode. I think he deserves it.


That's a nice paycheck! I wonder how he got into acting? Was it like Michael Caine?


Good morning! What do you think about the Redskins? I've been reading about their training camp beginning with coach Gruden.


Smith seems to be building good chemistry with the team, according to Gruden.


Yes, but he has to say that. The only real evidence a fan will see is on the field.


Yes, and he's only led them to the playoffs once during his five years as coach. Can he do it again?


And that really brings us back to the gelling concern. He has a diverse and new cast of players - can he bring them together AND help them play well within a single year? I think their expectations are high, but maybe would benefit from some grounding.


Yes, I agree, they need to be realistic.


I do like the comment that he made about it just being about playing at camp. A team that finds fun in the game will probably play fairly well.


Yes, that is a good sign. The team seems optimistic as a whole.


Team attitude is critical to success. Training camp is a time we don't get to hear much from the players either.


Yes, it's true. We're hearing a lot from Gruden, but what are the players thoughts on training camp, the team, and the upcoming season?


Sometimes they aren't ready to talk much. The stars will talk a little, but the young ones may have trouble getting their voices heard. It should be an interesting season, though.


It seems to me like they are looking forward to a big year, but face some challenges.


Yes, for sure. It's been great talking to you. Have a good day!


Yes, for sure. Gruden seems confident in the core group of veteran players.


A coach needs to be, though. I feel like the statement is too common to be sincere. I would be more concerned about how he hopes the team gels together.


Yes, he's been overly confident. He said, "I don't think we really have any glaring weakness." Surely, they do have weaknesses. Every team does.


Especially when you seem to have been bitten by the injury bug. Football is a team sport and you need everyone firing on all cylinders.


Yes, and are those injuries a coincidence? Or should Gruden be coaching them to play more carefully, to avoid injuries?


That's a concern in all sports. I follow the Blue Jackets, and the current coach raised these issues because he wants players to block shots! Of course the play style can cause injury. Gruden has been to the playoffs, though, so he knows something about coaching.


Yes, he has talked about needing to be cautious about injuries.


I don't believe its a result of his style. I think I am most concerned about them having a new quarterback after contract issues saw their previous one leaving.


Have you heard about the red mass? Apparently it's a special mass that they hold for the Supreme Court


Yep it's better if celebrities just don't get involved, but I was shocked to learn that women could not wear pants in the Senate until about the year 1993, that seems very stupid


Agree. In 1993, 1st lady Hillary C. was occasionally wearing pantsuits. Trend change, and celebs affect those changes....Agree?


Yep I could agree with that. What do you think about the top three most wealthy presidents though? Shocking that Trump is not one of them


We don't know. He wont make his tax returns public. Fishy.  Washington & Jefferson made $$ as slave owners. JFK's wealth was built on his father's businesses, especially liquor sales. JFK submitted tax returns, though.


Yep that's true. I wonder if president banana of Zimbabwe is Rich from bananas LOL maybe we should see his tax returns


What do you think about the president of Indonesia by the way? Maybe he is Rich from the three pop albums that he wrote while in office to LOL


Heard about that. If referring to the current Pres., I don't know much about him.


Yeah I don't know much about him unfortunately, I do know that we used to have a different role for vice presidents, did you hear about the rule change back in 1805?


Sort of recall. Jefferson was re-elected in 1804, but think the runner-up may have been James Madison. Now, at least, we can vote for a ticket, Pres. & VP candidates. Better, don't you think?


Yes, held in DC at St. Matthew's Cathedral. Seems to have been controversial mass this year. What do you think?


Yep I think it's better this way. Emagine with President Trump and vice president Hillary Clinton, you would have so much drama


Yes it seems very controversial especially since they were trying to confirm Kavanaugh at the time. Have you ever visited the United States Senate before


The Senate chambers? No. Never was inside St. Matthews, either. Do know Kavanaugh was accused of sexual assault by h.s. classmate in '80's. Don't know where that allegation stands. Do you?


No I think they determined it didn't happen, but I'm not a hundred percent sure on that it's crazy that there is a candy drawer in the Senate with unlimited candy LOL I want some of the Milky Way is right now


Been there since '68. Maybe the jellybeans are an homage to Ronald Reagan, who kept a jar on his desk. Have you ever witnessed a Senate session?


No I haven't. I only know that there are two senators per state so there are a total of 100 senators in the chamber


Right. Powerful chamber of Congress since 1789. Did you know Nixon cracked the gavel that had been used for 165 years. Heard about that?


Haha I did hear about that that's very sad because that is a good history that the gavel had, what do you think about why Michael Jordan would not endorse a Democratic candidate? I think it was smart that he never picked a side with politics


Yeah, but savvy to say, Republicans buy shoes, too". His $$$ sponsor, Nike, must have loved that.


Hi, how are you? What do you think of the president?


I don't know whether many countries have a choice. I bet the "president" of Indonesia doesn't have to worry much about elections. Pops albums are probably the least of the people's worries.


Very true.  I mean if pop albums qualifies you, lets just vote Lady Gaga in.


What fruity nickname would we give her? Lady Grape? Lady Grapefruit?


Well since her name came from a predictive text Glitch that changed Radio to Lady, we could reply on auto correct to give us a new name.


True. The autocorrect has its own wisdom. Perhaps Elton John or Iron Maiden have some suggestions.


Sir Elton has infinite wisdom, he could be elected VP.


True. We could have a system whereby the pres chooses a VP based on godparent relationships.


That would work better than the old way they used to do it by the loser of the election.


That must have been a match made in hell. What did they ever get done? And if you lost, why would you want to be in the WH?


I know, you think it would have led to more people trying to take out the president so that their candidate would not be the president.


Personally not that big a fan, sometimes I wonder if President Banana from Zimbabwe would be better.


Yes, all kinds of skullduggery could ensue. Well, that's for the chat!


That's a funny name. I know people have nicknames for Trump


He isnt even one of the wealthiest presidents, surprisingly enough.


Likely so.  Do you think he is mad the guest house is bigger than the White House?


Perhaps the guest house presents an opportunity to him. He could put up a TRUMP sign and rent it out. Sure path to riches.


Id even probably pay to stay there.  That would be pretty cool.


I wonder how much he would charge for the privilege. He could probably put a co-writer in the guest house and they could work on pop albums together.


It is pretty crazy what the leaders of countries do while in office.  I wonder how many countries support things like that.


The science discoveries about our solar system and the universe in general is amazing. I was a young boy when sputnik was launched and now look at the knowledge we have obtained.


Yes. I learned a long time ago to drink in moderation. I know that there are people around where I live that make 'hooch' that is supposed to be almost pure. Having a drink with buddies can be fun but getting blotto usually leads to trouble in one form or another.


Yes. You definitely have to be responsible with that type of stuff. It can lead to a lot of dangerous situations, which is why people are wanting them to put such expansive warning labels on.


I know that there have been recent deaths on college campuses caused by over drinking. I guess many teens look to it as a right of passage.


Yeah. Peer pressure can make kids act differently sometimes. I know that all kids face those types of pressures. Hopefully when my kids are older they will have enough sense not to do such things.


Yes, hopefully so. None of mine have done more than experiment with booze, at least that's what they tell me. Kids don't lie do they?


No never. Haha. I just heard of the Burger King promotion where if you unfriend ten people you get a free whopper. I wish I would have known about this. Haha.


I'm afraid I don't have ten people to unfriend. My kids demanded that I get on facebook but I am constantly getting messages that if I don't become more active my account will be inactivated. I feel so excluded. I don't feel the need to spew my life out into the nether world.


I hear ya. i have no idea the last time I posted anything. Just doesn't seem natural to me to just post stuff on the internet about myself. I guess we are just behind the times.


No, we are the ones with common sense. Did you know that Myspace turned down an offer to buy Facebook? Now is there even a Myspace around?


Not that I know of. I remember when I had a MySpace. Back when I was like 17 or 18. Seems like forever ago. I bet MySpace wishes they would have made that purchase since Facebook is now worth over 400 billion.


Yes. It is amazing. The amount of technology that we have and the speed in which we are obtaining it blows ones mind. I still don't understand how half of the stuff that we have now a days even works.


Yes and Zuckerburg is a billionaire. Why could't I come up with an idea for something like that.


Maybe you'll come up with another idea sometime. Well, I have to get going here. It was very nice chatting with you.


I know. It is mind blowing. Space exploration has come a long way since Galileo invented to telescope.


Did you know that Astronomers detected building blocks in a planet 455 light years away. It's crazy that they can even see that far.


I wonder how? Wish I knew more about the science behind their discovery. There is also a planet where precipitation is glass shards which travel at  4500 mph. I'm thinking Mercury because of the locked orbit and temp difference between front and back


Yeah. That is an insane amount of heat. Sometimes I forget how hot the sun truly is. It's pretty amazing just how everything in our solar system is placed together and how it all works together. If things were just a little bit different we couldn't survive on Earth.


That's a scary though just how many things had to come together to have the world we now inhabit. When I was very young and first heard that the sun would quit working a billions of years I actually worried about it.


So, have you ever heard of Everclear. It's an alcoholic beverage.


I have heard of it but never tried it. I was a party-er when years ago but seldom drink anymore. I guess it has some serious health risks associated with it.


Yeah. apparently it is like 190 proof. I just don't understand why anyone would want to drink that. It seems like straight up poison. But I guess that's why they banned it from being close to college campuses because a lot of young people don't think about such things.


Hi, do you like to read? I love to read about so many different things..


Yes it's not great. Military recommends weird stuff. Ender's game is another on their suggested reading list.


I never read that one. I wonder why they suggest strange sci fi war-ish movies? think they're trying to prepare the troops for even THOSE outcomes?


lol. Maybe they like the tactics. Do you like any sports? Maybe hockey?


I like to play it but watching it is so hard. I can never follow the puck at all


I don't have too much trouble watching, not sure I'd want to play hard though the average pro loses 8lbs in a game! That is intense.


thats a crazy amount of cardio. Imagine the victory meals they must have after the games!


Gotta gain it back! I'm a poor skater too, maybe field hockey would be okay to play.


skating is sort of key to hockey haha unfortautnely its a very hard part of it! im not great at it but i like to do it. Did you know most of the time the rink is lying just below the basketball court at basketball games?


I did not know that. I'm not sure how they keep the court warm but the ice frozen?


I was wondering that too. and how the court wood doesnt warp from the moisture


I love it, i read for pleasure daily. do you have a favorite genre?


I think I'm going to go read more about that. Thanks for the interesting conversation!


I have to think about it. I read everything from non fiction to fantasy. It's crazy to think in the 18th century they panicked about the spread of reading novels like it was a bad thing.


it was a crazy time! Im curious to hear more about CS Lewis and his old "you laugh you lose"contests he did with bad poems, that sounds fun


Sounds fun, but bad poetry can be really bad, still I would check it out. I was just checking out my cousins braille books. Obviously I can see but it's quite a different experience.


For me I had to go real slow, but for him its amazing to watch him read braille. I would think the way a blind person process a book is different too with it being a tactile thing, but really it's the same as us reading text.


braille blows my mind with how it works and how blind people actually learn to understand it. same with sign language and deaf people. its crazy to think about


It really is. Just shows you can go about things a completely different way if you want to, or if you have to. The funny thing is the book he had was starship troopers. Apparently its on the reading list for 3 military branches, it's not even that good!


the movie is even worse! have you ever seen it?


Hi. Are you interested in astronomy? There have been building blocks of life found in a planetary system 455 light years away!


Yes, we are very adaptable. We can grow back ribs that have been removed in 2-3 months


That's pretty awesome, unfortunately we can't synthesize our own Vit C because the gene for this is defective in humans


That stinks. Animals and plants can do it!


Yep, and did you know more than 80% of earths natural forests have been destroyed?


That's very sad. There is almost no helium left on Earth.


And they say that when earth was first formed days were only 5.5 hours long.. could you imagine?


I already feel like some days fly by! You'd only have to work for an hour, though!


in 2010 the United Nations appointed official ambassador to extraterrestrials in case they ever came to earth... now that's crazy thinking


I guess they were trying to make sure they were prepared! Nice chatting with you!


Yes, I am! Did you know Jupiter's moon ganymede would be considered a planet if it orbited the sun?


I didn't know that! It seems to be an ever evolving field, because a lot of things that were considered planets before 1950, aren't considered planets anymore.


Also venus doesnt tilt, so it has no seasons!


Neat! It's the only one that rotates clockwise, too.


Uranus actually rotates sideways and rolls instead of spinning like the other planets, did you know that?


That's so cool! There are 5 planets that you can see with the naked eye.


that's awesome, I wasn't aware of that. Did you know there is a sound frequency that causes fear in humans?


I'm sure there is. Humans used to have hair all over their bodies.


Humans are also the best distance runners because we used to hunt


Hello there, do you watch many videos on YouTube?


Yeah from what I have heard on the streets is that Everest internet charges up the wazoo.


Do you believe that there is a backup of the Internet in the library at Alexandria? Something sounds fishy about that.


Yeah I don't know if I can believe that, you know what they say though, if you read it on the internet, it has to be true.  So if it's written on the internet somewhere about the internet, ya know.


That's true. The library at Alexandria might have put that information on the Internet. They should warn people about the risk of addiction to clicking links.


It is a true addiction I think a lot more people have it that don't ever realize it.  Do you ever get the sensation your phone is vibrating in your pocket and you check it never was?


That vibration is usually me after eating a big lunch. Speaking of lunch, did you know that the 3 horizontal lines on websites are called the hamburger icon?


Really?, I wonder why.  Such a weird name for that if you ask me.


The vegans certainly didn't come up with that one. Do you ever read reddit?


No, I think I have been on the Reddit site maybe once in my life.  How about you?


I've read Reddit. I haven't seen the page with the 25 kindest deeds on Reddit.


I sometimes watch Youtube. How about you?


Maybe I should give that page a try.  Nice talking with you today.


Yeah I use it quite often, mostly for music purposes.  I do know that it is crazy popular among young people these days.


Youtube is the second largest search engine on the net. I did not know that.


Wow I didn't know that either, that is crazy.  Do you know what the most disliked video on YouTube is?


I think it changes every year, but in the past, I bet it was some pop star.


Yeah I think you are right, and I guess it is Justin Beiber's video, 'baby'.  Who would've guessed right lol.


I don't really know Justin. I guess I could watch his videos on Youtube even at the top of Mt. Everest.


That is crazy!  To think you could be that high where you can barely breathe, but still post a selfie.


That's the whole point of the Internet and cell phones. Anywhere you go, you can let the world know. But read the terms of service before you use that Everest internet.


Hey there how often do you use your telephone?


Yep you would think so. You'd also think that they would have a better system for transmitting phone and internet data across the oceans. Like using a wireless system. But apparently they use cable that goes the length of the ocean and is only about 3 in. across


Part of me really worries about things like that.  What if a fish bites into it?  How will the find the spot  where it got cut and fix it?


Haha that's a great point! Or what if a ship crashes into it or a submarine LOL have you ever heard of the charity UNICEF by the way?


I have heard of them, but I am not too familiar with what they do.  I know it centers around children.


Yes they donate clean water. And they will donate a day of clean water for every minute you do not use your cell phone apparently. I need to look into that more


I wonder what the stipulations are on that one.  There is a lot of time, like at night, or when I work that I am not on my phone.


Haha that's a good point. I mean I don't use my cell phone all 24 hours of the day of course. Do you ever watch Tennis?


I cant say I have ever gotten in to a lot of tennis.  I know the longest match ever went on for 11 hours and got spread over three days.


That's insane! Imagine how exhausted you would be. Did you know that the polo shirt was actually invented by a tennis player?


I didn't know that.  That is pretty cool.  Polo players adopted it later.  I wonder why it wasnt called the tennis shirt.


All the time.  Strangely enough not to call people, so it was originally intended for.


haha I know right! I always wondered to on why polo shirts had that crocodile logo. The Creator's name was Renee "the crocodile" Lacoste so that's where it came from LOL


Haha me too, I only like to text personally on my cell phone. I don't even have a house phone anymore. What do you think about New York's area code, 212?


I heard it came about due to the rotary phone and it was the easiest number to dial.  You think they would have made it the emergency number for that purpose.


Yep I agree with you. That should be the number instead of 911. Have you ever overlapped to phone books, page by Page?


Can't say that I have. Aside from the one that someone left on my doorstep last week, I havent even seen one in years.


Haha nope me neither. I just remember they were super heavy and very yellow haha. But apparently if you overlap the pages it is literally impossible to pull them apart


Even though this is a tiny one, I might have to find a second to try that out.  I havent had a need for one seeing as I can just search something in my iPhone and just call from there


Nope I agree with you. I'm so glad that we have cell phones these days. And they're apparently more powerful than even the entire USA nuclear deterrent system


That is crazy, you think with that technology they can put into a device around the size of a couple credit cards, they could improve that.


I used to. It is much better than Stephen King's horror stories.


I'm not a huge fan of horror, but I heard Stephen King was terrified of the movie Bambi.


That is hilarious. Watching horror movies can burn up to 180 calories or more!


I need to start watching more horror movies! haha


Yeah, me too. A single fold in the brain makes the difference between reality and fantasy.


That's cool, I didn't know that. I'm sure you have heard of Fantasy Football, but have you heard of people fantasy drafting the national spelling bee?


I have not, I wonder how one would play that? And what is the prize?


I have no idea, all I know is it's a thing.


Nope, I've never watched it. What is it about?


Interesting, well nice chatting with you!


It is about robots that gain feelings and emotions. It is ok.


That sounds nice. Do you like watching The Simpsons?


I used to watch it all the time. Apparently there is only one episode where Bart doesn't appear.


Yeah, I was going to tell you about that. What about Pokemon? Apparently there are over 750 episodes.


Yeah, I never got into Pokemon, but a lot of people play the video game.


I thought it was a good show, but I didn't really get into it.


That is kind of odd. People will have fantasy league in anything it seems. Kind of like how they have Fantasy Congress. People draft members of congress and points are based off legislative success.


Now that sounds interesting, and something we should implement. Performance based pay. Either that, or give them two phone books whose pages are overlapped to separate,.


That would be epic to see them try to rip up a phonebook. Did you know that a single fold in the brain makes the difference between perceiving reality and fantasy?


I did not. That's so interesting, maybe that's why there are so many fantastic fantasy authors, like the one who was knighted for his services to literature.


That is true, There was a janitor in Chicago who wrote for over six years. He a had a 15,145 page fantasy manuscript with over 300 watercolor illustrations called "in The Realms of The Unreal." Sadly it was only discovered after his death.


That is amazing. I always wondered what made fantasy different than sci-fi, and it turns out that it is mainly due to the lack of macabre themes and science. I guess I should stop thinking of them in the same sense.


Yeah there is a some difference, they're both wonderful genres in their own sense.


They are. I find it hilarious that New York's area code is 212, due to it being the fastest  to dial on a rotary phone.


That is pretty interesting, I guess it is the busiest city so people were constantly calling there moreso than anywhere else.


That may be, may also explain why many in the fantasy genre come from New York.


Morning. I'm okay, now that I've had breakfast. Thankfully, McDonalds installed those drive-thrus to accomodate US soldiers.


That is true. Well it was nice chatting with you, I hope you have a FANTAStic day!


That is a pretty good thing. Have you heard about Derrius Guice from the Redskins playing for a Domino's delivery driver's final semester of college?


I have not, I'm not a football fan. That's a great thing for him to do. I'm looking into the Unicef program that donates a day of clean water, for every minute you don't use your cell phone.


Oh wow, that's kind of a neat deal. It would make me not want to use my cell phone as much if it was for a good cause.


Same here. I'm still finding it hard to believe that my iPhone has more power than our entire nuclear icbm deterrent.


I know that's crazy to think. I guess that's a testament to how far technology has come. Did you know that it is legal to equip your car with flame-throwers in South Africa?


That is the most awesome thing I have heard today. Even more than why the trunk of a car is called a trunk (old ones used to have wooden trunks on the back).


That flame thrower wouldn't go over too well with a wooden trunk, but you could clear snow out of your way a lot easier.


I need that that here. Have you heard about people fantasy drafting the national spelling bee? That whole fantasy sports thing is so odd to me.


Yeah that was a dumb move on their part.  But maybe if they bought facebook it wouldnt be as good as it is now.  What if they didnt have the vision to make it hat is has become.


right at least you dont have people's random music choices blasting at you as you browse.  I thought it was funny Burger King would give you a whopper if you unfriended 10 people!


I know right,  what is your friendship worth lol


It could be worse - in the hunger games you might have to kill your friends


Yeah thats brutal,  I would probably die I dont know if I can kill my friend lol great movie though.


Yes it was definitely one of the top 100 teen novels - the books were better than the movie.


Looks like the writer of Hunger Games got her start writing for Clarissa Explains It All,  I used to watch that when I was a kid lol


It is not quite as good as the Harry Potter books - that was number 1 rated, but I did like it


I love Harry Potter series,  it is so good.  I love that they are continuing the wizarding world with Fantastic Beasts!  have u seen it?


I have not even heard of the fantastic beasts.  The three fingered salute from the hunger games is actually a real sign of the resistance in Thailand


I do like some tv.  I remember growing up with a black and white tv.


wow never heard of fantastic beasts?  Thats weird,  they have already released their second movie.  Fantastic Beasts The Crimes of Grindlewald.


That's cool I will have to check it out.


Wow,  that is interesting.  Do you watch any current tv? Did you know there is only one episode of the simpsons that Bart doesnt appear?


That is funny.  I do know that the Simpsons sent flowers to the Family Guy folks when they did their last episode.


That is very nice of them.  I didnt even know family guy is over lol


Yeah there were a lot of episodes of Family Guy, but not as much as Pokemon - 750 shows!!!!!


that is a lot of episodes.  I have only watched I think one episode of pokemon,  not a huge fan lol Do you use facebook?


I always use facebook though I am not a fan of blue color - just because Zuckerburg is color blind should not make the rest of us suffer!


lol I agree,  I would vote for Purple.   Looks like the "like" button is illegal in Germany.  What do they have against a thumbs up?


Its pretty crazy.   Wonder if myspace was german - they were dumb enough to not buy facebook when they could have cheap!


Oh yes, I am so impressed with service dogs.  They can help people with disabilities, and make their day to day tasks easier.


they can also help with hunting, herding,  and even helping the police.


And it is more common for them to aid in therapuetic roles, like PTSD and visiting elder care homes.


Isn't that amazing they are also great companions and protectors!


I can't believe the dogs we have in our home today is loosely related to the wolf.


Yeah it is hard to believe because dogs can be domesticated and trained in many things and gets along so well with humans.


And they come in so many different shapes and sizes.  I still can't fathom how there are so many different breeds and colors, and sizes.


Did you know they have something in common with elephants? they seem to have an instinct to understand pointing


I never would have thought they had anything related to an animal that is so different.  I have heard about the pointing thing before.  It is amazing how attuned they are to us.


Yes, we all love it. Well something i also love is football and I found interesting to know that the university of Iowa's locker room  for the visiting team is painted in pink.


That's pretty funny.  Football is a good game.  Though that could be confusing if you live in another country since some people refer to football, but we call it soccer or rugby.


Oh yeah,  they have a sense of humor. and I found it incredibly amazing what highest ever score has been: 222 to  0. Georgia tech defeating cumberland. I wish I could find that on youtube.. Well have a great day!


I have a dog and I love them.  They are such interesting and impressive animals.  Did you know that they aren't actually color blind?  They just see less colors than us.


I always thought they were color blind.  There is an interesting arrangement for street dogs i Istanbul, have you heard about it?


Is that where people can feed them with a vending machine?  I forget the details on how that works...


I think is a beautiful arrangement! You recycle plastic bottles and the machine releases food and water that you can give the dogs.


That would be neat if we had something like that here.  I am surprised we don't given how much we seem to like dogs in the US.  Even Google calls themself a dog company and says they prefer dogs to cats.


I have the same preference as Google. I find interesting that there are 12 different blood types a dog may have.


And that they have blood drives and all of them can donate.  I suppose animals have medical needs too.


They do. they should be cared because they are humans best friend and help i different duties to men.


How's it going, do you watch Horror films? I enjoy watching supernatural one sometimes


Not as strange as Danny from the Shining not realizing he was staring in a horror film as a kid


True.    Did you like Inception?     That movie also began life as a horror flick.


Yea Inception was pretty good, Leo and Tom Hardy were great in it


I agree.   Ellen Page was also great.     I heard it took Christopher Nolan a long time to write that script.


Sounds like it, I know Brad Pitt and Will Smith declined offers to play Cobb


I heard the snow fortress was based on some actual building.


That's pretty cool, did you know the rotating hallway wasn't made with any cgi?


Pretty amazing the lengths they will go to!    Amazing it was based on a Poe story!


I never knew that, or that Elon Musk's wife was in Inception either


Very cool.    On a less serious note, there was a Donald Duck comic with a similar plot years before the film.


Sometimes.    A Quiet place was pretty scary.


Never knew that. Well I got to go, nice chatting with you


YEa, Krasinski and Blunt did a great job in A Quiet Place


What was the name of the family?   I forget.


In the film they were called the Abbotts


Thanks for that.     It is amazing how many mainstream movies started as horror films.


I find it amazing Stephen King considers bambi a horror movie lol


Perhaps so, but can you imagine ET as a horror film!


No, I think my childhood would be more ruined than Kings when he watched Bambi


I also find it Ironic "Scary Movie" (the original name for scream) became the title for one of its parodies.


That would be great! I would sell some of them, but keep some for a long-term investment. You never know how much they could be worth one day.


No you're right. That's why I don't throw anything away. And it's also why my house is a mess LOL. One thing I don't understand is why the MLB used a married couple for 24 years to schedule all their games, why wouldn't they use a computer


The couple probably used some kind of technology, but I bet they had a friend at the MLB head office. Maybe they were inexpensive? I dunno.


haha ya, and they did that until 2005, very crazy!


That's a long time. Do you watch the World Series? I try to.


No I can't say that I do haha. I like I said I don't really watch sports that much. I know that it is the best-of-seven games correct? Who do you want to win this year


I like it when an underdog wins. I'm tired of big city teams with big payrolls winning. The Series should bring out the best in the fans and the players.


Yep I like that too. What's crazy is that Babe Ruth tried to steal a base in game seven. That's what made him lose the 1926 World Series. Wasn't Babe Ruth really fat?


He was pretty big later on, but he was also a pitcher at one time, so maybe he was speedy. Still, stealing a base? He was a hitter, not a runner.


Yep I agree with you. Pretty cool that the Cubs were the first team to win back-to-back World Series. I know that would be impressive


Hi I'm doing well. Do you like baseball? I personally think it's really boring haha


It was impressive, but then they hit the world's longest losing streak. How? Is it a curse?


Haha well at least the curse has been broken. What's also crazy is that the Women's World Cup had higher television ratings than the World Series in the United States. Personally I think soccer is even worse than baseball so I don't know how that's possible


Baseball is a slow game. I usually pay attention around the time of the playoffs. Then there's a lot of energy.


Yeah it gets burst of energy, and then a lot of really boring Parts LOL. I never knew that baseball managers could actually play for their team. That's why they wear uniforms, duh


Yeah, it's easier to just watch the highlight reel. The managers probably played way back in the day. Now? It would be sad. I'd want my money back.


Haha yep they would probably get injured really quickly LOL have you ever played kickball when you were a kid


I played kickball. Safer than dodgeball, that's for sure.


Yep I agree with you there. In Canada they call kickball soccer-baseball instead, it doesn't quite have the same ring LOL


It sure doesn't. That's clunky name. Baseball is so popular in Japan that many fans are surprised to discover it's  america's national pastime. I wonder why? The sport started here.


I agree with you. It's very screwy that they would not realize that LOL oh, did you hear about the man who found millions of dollars of baseball cards and his grandfather's attic? Now that is living the dream haha


That is a lot of money, but Im sure they will recover that money and more, did you know Blockbuster had the chance to buy Netflix several times.


How much they were asking to Blockbuster ?


Netflix was on sale for $50 million and now its worth $2 billion so sounds like Blockbuster lost a great opportunity


I think they lost more than an opportunity, they don't exist anymore. I don't miss them with their outrageous late fees.


Yeah in fact thats what inspired Reed Hastings to start Netflix, the excessive fees that the Blockbuster had, he even paid $40 in late fees once for a single movie, boy he was mad.


Mad enough to create a company that would eventually destroy them. They should do a Netflix Original about that. It won't cost a lot, they already have the rights.


Yeah they should do a movie about it, I would watch it, The Fall of Blockbuster, Reed Hastings.


Speaking of movies, have you seen Avengers: Infinity War ?


Yeah, I have seen that one, did you like it? I am really excited because of the second part of the movie


No I did not see it, do you know why the movies are responsible for the increase of Shawarma sales ?


Yes,  it is all I watch in the evening. I am not alone, Netflix represent 33% of all bandwidth consumed in the evening in the US.


I think its because of the ending scene on Avengers, the first movie, in the end the heroes gather at a shawarma place and eat.


Oh, that would make sense, who was your favorite actor in the movie ?


My favorite actor Robert Downey Jr. he is really talented, its was nice chatting with you by the way.


You too, I may see the Avengers on Netflix when I will have the time.  Have a good day.


33% of the bandwidth? really? that is impressive, that means a lot of users, Netflix must have some pretty big servers


Yes, but it is more efficient than sending DVDs through the mail system. Did you ever use Netflix with mail ?


No, never, didn't know that was an option. I do hear that they spend more on postage than on bandwidth.


Yeah I do, I am one of the millions of subscribers, the first series on Netflix was called Lilyhammer


I saw it on my recommendation feed, is Lilyhammer any good ? They continued releasing originals since then, they have 126 original shows now.


I haven't seen it, I don't think it is, I might look for it on Netflix tonight. Netflix does have a lot of original content on the site.


All those original shows are costing them a lot of money, they are 21.9 billion in debt.


Hello there, do you play video games much these days?


Thats crazy, I wonder what earth would be like if we weren't spinning around, and we were rolling like uranus lol.


I guess we'd have really burned and cold poles.  Jupiter has a moon. Ganymede, that's more than big enough to be a planet if it were rotating the Sun.


Very interesting.  I guess there is a planet out there that has crazy winds of glass that blow at 4500 mph!


Wow, that would require a bit more than an umbrella... I guess signs of life have been detected on a planetary system 455 light-years away.  Very far, far away...


That doesn't seem too far away in the whole of space, very interesting, I wonder what our technology will reveal in the next 10 years or so.


It's small condiering the universe and very far for Earthlings.  We can't even fathom going to Proxima Centarti 4+ light-years away.  So are you into celebrities?


Oh yeah for sure far for us as humans, I would really say I am, I don't get all the hype.  How about you?


Most of them have pissed me off with their force-fed moronic political views.  I do miss Robin Williams.  I didn't realize he was the voice of Aladdin and the 1st to start that trend.


Oh yeah, I miss him dearly, he seemed a different breed of most of those types, and yeah he was awesome in that!


Did ya know Pixar has a secret room that is often visited by celebrities?  Wonder what's in there?


Not really... I hear it's illegal in S. Korea for kids 16 and under to play after midnight.  That rule works for me...


No but I wonder the same, I wonder what kinds of things they would have in there?


I guess it's not for us mere mortals... Wow, Judge Judy makes $123,000 per episode for doing what she would be doing off-camera.


That is insane!  Oh judge Judy wonder what you do with all your money lol.  Anyways, it's been good talking, I hope you have a good night!


That is very interesting, I wonder if any other countries around the world have similar rules.


Probably... I didn't know Tom Hanks had a brother that does his voice on video games and merchandise...


Jimmy Hanks!  I think I have heard about that before, good call!


I guess ya gotta help out your bro.  Video games were once called "cathode ray tube amusement devices" by the military... Yawn...


Yeah I don't think they imagined there would be multimillion dollar stadiums built for them.


What was the military even doing with them?  Did you know that Venus doesn't tilt so it has no seasons?


That is interesting, I think it is the only planet that rotates clock-wise as well.


For really weird rotation, Uranus actually rotates sideways and seems to "roll" around the sun.


Car is the motor vehicle used for transportation on roads and make more comfortable travelling.


Self driving cars are available for human purchase, they are only in testing but it creates lot of accidents also.


With all the accidents, I am surprised that Google's self-driving cars have an "aggressive" mode option.


I do not have a landline, but I do have a cellphone with WiFi.


Telephone is a telecommunication device which allows the user to have conversation.


Yes, but with cell phones, the connection quality and "bars" of service have almost no correlation, which is surprising.


Surely, Telephone have two essential elements microphone to speak into and earphone to receive it. Now days, Digital phone are available resulted improvement of technology.


Technology has definitely advanced dramatically. It is so good that dolphins can communicate over the telephone and appear to know who they are talking to!


I wonder how they tested that since dolphins are ocean animals. Maybe with an underwater phone?


In Ohio, it is against the law to warm up your car!


They communication is very nice. Dolphins are also called as fisher men friends.


Interesting, I had never heard of that before. Thanks for the chat!


Very nice chatting with you. Have a great day.


Cars available for human uses in 20th century, It was invented in 18th century by Karl Benz.


Yes, specifically, 1886 is regarded as the birth year of the modern car when the Benz Patent-Motorwagen was patented.


The cars are propelled by internal combustion engine which have fossil fuels to run, which create of lot pollution, some countries are using Ethanol as alternate fuel now.


I bet the pollution it causes is why it is illegal to warm up your car in Ohio.


Some countries, allowed electric cars for their uses due to pollution free environment.


Which countries did that? Did they want a pollution free environment or did they have a pollution free environment?


Does Europe have self driving cars like Google has?


True. A cat is the mayor in the town of Talkeetna in Alaska


I guess some people are just crazy about cats! his been the mayor since 1997 I wonder what are his deeds as mayor


Yeah that is pretty interesting for sure, wonder how that idea came about


Maybe he was a better candidate than most politicians running for mayor at  that town, insects are also interesting


Yeah they are. Have you heard of the golden bugs?


No, I havent heard of them, they sound special


Yeah they breathe in dissolved gold and produce it as a solid, pretty amazing


Wow!! I must get me one of those lol I am in deep need of gold, insects come from the latin word insectum


Yeah indeed. Did you now that the color red in food coloring comes from a bug?


Thats disgusting im never having red coloring again, yuck


Im more of a dog person, what about you?


I go both way I guess. In Japan there are cat cafes


They must really love cats in Japan, they do sleep a lot, when they are 15 years old they have already spend 10 of those years sleeping


Yeah they sure love that. An author once used his cat as a coauthor on a paper


He did? why did he do that lol was he crazy!!


Just so he would not get criticized for using first person plural


Oh I see, still doesnt make a lot of sense but oh well, did you watch The Godfather?


Yeah, and the opening scene cat in the movie was a stray that had been found on the set


That is one lucky cat, I bet it never though that it was going to become a movie star that day,


That does not seem like a lot of money... I wonder if Eminem ever used the words. He used to want to be a comic book artist!


He has enough money now, he could start his own comic book. I wonder how he got his name. The name Childish Gambino came from an online name generator.


Did it really? that is super interesting, he is so well known now, what if it spit out a bad name, maybe he would never have become popular


He might have done several names and picked the best. I dunno. Did you hear about the landfill filled with Atari cartridges?


Atari produced too many cartridges and had to dispose of them, so they buried them in a landfill in the desert.


That is a shame, did they ever discover it? Nintendo did not discontinue the NES until 2003!


I gotta wonder who was still playing that thing then. It came out in the 80s!


It only could display 54 colors, I am surprised that it held its own for so long!


I guess people liked the old-style games. Well, I enjoyed chatting with you!


I love those old NES games, they are on the Switch now! Yeah, same to you buddy!


I am well! Did you hear about the rapping priest who got suspended by the catholic church?


No. He was a rapper? Is that why he got suspended?


No, he had a video of him rapping in the middle of a congregation


Is rapping against God and sunny Jesus or something? Puttin' the Word to a beat is against the Church, I guess.


I suppose so, according to the Washington post, he was suspended for a year from preaching


I guess he try his hand at rapping then. I wonder whether he can rap at 14.1 syllables per second, the fastest ever recorded.


That is very fast, was it busta rhymes? He was reptar in the rugrats movie too!


Noclue. Noclue does 14.1. McDonalds used to pay rappers $5 for every reference to Big Macs in songs. Maybe I could start a rap career.


Hey there, I really love Disney films. I watch a lot of tv actually.


Noway, oh wow, thats cool. They had him in all but one. The kids show Thomas the Train has a lot of movie stars do the voices and I recently heard that Ringo Starr was on there.


They all did at 52 episodes as well. Not just cameos


I wonder if it would take longer to find the one episode where bart is missing. Or watch all 750 episodes of pokemon


HA, I love fun facts like that. I once heard that Bill Nye the science guy was discovered because he won a look alike contest for Steve Martin. I also heard that Ronald Reagan didn't get a movie part because he wasn't president looking enough,lol.


Yeah, that was an over achiever for sure,lol. I like playing Nintendo and was learning that in 2003 Japan discontinued the system.


I am very surprised it lasted so long. It only displays 54 colors!


Wow, only 54? The modern game is video entertainment but the 50bc form of entertainment was breeding chicken for fun and for entertainment.


Nope, to watch them and observe them. Not for eating them.


Awww, I love that one too. It was the first disney film to be dubbed into Zulu for its African release.


Im surprising wreck it ralph took over 30 years!


Yeah, right. The development of the Disney animation film Wreck it Ralph started in the late 1980's. they even had four working titles.


I guess its not surprising since they were known in the 70s to reuse scenes


Yeah, I guess they would literally recreate scenes and recycle and reuse. Did you know Frozen was directed by the first woman for Disney,too?


Me too, a little behind the times for being so advanced. I like to watch South Park and the Simpsons. DO you like Bart?


I love him! And im guessing the creators do to. There's only 1 episode where he isnt mentioned or appears


I just read an article about football, and in part the Seahawks.. Are you a football fan ??


Honestly not the biggest of football fans either American or Canadian..  But I do like a good gossip story !!!!


Oh yeah how's this for gossip. Baker Mayfield wanted to quit football to pursue competitive gaming as the best Halo 3 player of all time


Wow that is awesome... Many can and have used to sport to get ahead in life and prove that the dumb jock stereo is false... Like Alex Smith who was working on a Master's Degree.


Yeah apparently he entered university as a junior and got his bachelor's in two years.


Yes that is amazing. That on smart guy for sure!!


Speaking of university, did you know the University of Iowa's locker room for visiting football teams is painted completely pink?


ha....... Football like most things starts in the mind. I guess the pink is a statement they plays like girls ?? Why did you think they painted it pink ?


Because they want to annoy them. Mind games. Teams have 50%+ of a chance of winning on their home turf due to the more positive mindsets they have from fan reaction.


just like life,,,, if you think more positive, you see more positive things happen


Yes. Our brains are designed to neurally enforce negative thoughts more than positive for survival purposes.


Yes I heard Russel Wilson has some haters, specifically of the name Richard Sherman


Interesting..... more interesting is how we started with the foot (football) and ending  up talking about the brain..... full contact sport that football is


Well there's probably a ton of research done with football and it's negative effects of trauma on the brain. Just like with professional wrestling and we may see MMA get some smoke in the coming years.


I totally agree there.. who knows what is yet to be discovered


It seems these days nothing can escape drama. I dont know how i feel but for sure money seems to always be the bottom line.. Dont you think ?


I don't think money/greed is always to blame, but it sure does have a huge effect on how things play out and brings out the worst in people.


True... it is not always to blame..... but money lack or or if someone gets more that you for equal contribution is a big factor... It seems in this case the Seahawks made a choice based on money.


Yeah it does seem like they were motivated by greed. Speaking of birds, did you know the Eagles had a court set up in their stadium from bad fan behavior?


Your kidding me... How did that works... Football is such big business anymore


Maybe they should put a small prison in their stadium hah. Football makes so much money, imagine what it does for the economy too with bars and restaurant showings


Oh yea it sure is trickle down economics Sherman being cut was also economics....


Are you a big fan of Sherman or the Seahawks?


The white house for being the home of the president has some very odd quirks.


I think that there has to be a little narcissism when it comes to holding political office. They want to be seen and in charge of all things. If that isn't happening enough they do something sensational.


Agreed. Like, the first president of Zimbabwe's name was ... wait for it... President Banana.


I have no idea! The top three US presidents were JFK, Washington and Jefferson. Who knew?


I wonder if it was money they made or if it was inherited? Seems like trump would be on that list.


I don't think Trump has as much money as he says he has. Did you know it used to be that the runner up in the presidential election became the VP... can you imaging Trump and Clinton sharing the same White House? Don't think that'd go well.


Well since guest house is bigger than the actual white house maybe one of them could go live out there. Of course they would still have to speak to each other. I think they used to be friends so maybe they could figure it out.


I'd hope so. Teddy Roosevelt was such a conservationist that he banned Christmas trees from the White House.


I think Teddy Roosevelt is my favorite president. He did so much for this country and was really an all around decent guy.


I like him a lot too. One of the greats. Guess that's why he's on Mount Rushmore.


Yeah, I heard they still store files on floppy disks.


I wonder if those faces will ever be added to. Seems like history would pick out a few and maybe put someone else up there.


That seems really strange to me. Maybe it is for security reasons?


I bet you're right. George W. Bush had solar panels put on the White House. Good to see he was into renewable energy.


I am so happy that someone thought to do that. It has to be a huge amount of power going through there for all the systems and security not to mention the sheer size of everything.


Definitely. In 2011 it took the secret service four days to realize that someone had shot at the White House. That's scary!


I don't understand what took so long to figure that out. I wonder if the first family ever goes and stays in the guest house since it is bigger?


Or wonder how often they stay at the twin buildings in Ireland and France? I didn't even know till recently there were twin buildings in Europe.


I didn't either. At least we can be thankful that the president isn't putting out pop albums.


Haha. That's true. Like the president of Indonesia, who's released 3 pop albums since he's been in office.


Netflix initial started in DVD rental business due to advance technology they are moving to online movie streaming.


Drama is the specific mode of performance to represented in a play, ballet etc... they are especially performed in theatre or an radio.


Did you ever watch House starring Hugh Laurie?  He earned $700,000 per episode making him the highest paid actor ever for a tv drama.


Yes. I watched only some episode. I have no time to watch it. The drama comes from the Greek word "action'. The drama represent the traditional division between comedy and tragedy.


Did you know that Michael Caine became an actor?


Jon hamm taught drama at his old high school. One of his students was ellie kemper. Do you know ?


I did know that.  Ellie was in the Office and Jon Hamm was from Mad Men.  Michael Caine became an actor because all of the prettiest girls in his school were in drama!


Did you ever play an original Nintendo system that displayed 54 colors!  I remember when we got one in the late 80s'.


They have become a huge company!  They had 137 million worldwide subscribers as of Oct. 2018.


Nintendo is the Japan based multinational company, They are focused on the video games also.


They stopped selling the Nintendo in Japan in 2003.  I have to get going.  It's been nice chatting with you.


Netflix is banned in some countries like China, Syria, North Korea and Crimea. The are telecast Serials and Movies.


I wonder why they are banned?  From 9PM to 12AM Netflix accounts for 33 percent of all bandwidth in North America.  That's a lot of people watching tv.


Netflix is also make internet traffic in North america. Mostly people avoid going to theatre and simply watching movie in TV itself.


Do you know how much Netflix still spends on postage?


I don't know it but Netflix entered the content-production industry in 2012. They are production TV serial also.


Netflix spends 20 times more on postage than on bandwidth.  Crazy.


Netflix approached 50 million global subscribers with 32.3% of video streaming market in United States.


Did you know that Blockbuster could have bought Netflix for $50 million?


I think it's kind of like their generic store brand isn't it? My paper shredder is AmazonBasics, but I was never sure exactly what that meant.


it just means they are cheaper and not as high of a quality but I find them just fine


Yeah, my shredder has been fine. I feel kind of funny having Amazon Prime and also Netflix, since I get movies on both, but I guess it's a splurge. Do you watch Netflix?


yes i do, it is so convenient and still pretty cheap.


Absolutely! I guess I shouldn't be surprised that we both have it: apparently it accounts for 1/3 of all bandwidth in N. America from 9 PM to 12 AM.


not surprised though. you can get a job with them as a tagger to watch their content


Really? That's interesting. I wonder what you tag?


I am not sure, they must have words that you use


Yeah I guess. I'm old enough to remember when Netflix actually sold DVDs. Although I never bought any. I didn't sign up for it until after they started streaming in 2007


and they still spend more on postage than on bandwidth, trange.


I do, because I buy a lot from amazon. it is such a big company now


Oh wow. I wouldn't have guessed that so many people are still renting from them when streaming is so much easier


Me too! I order from them several times a month. I first got Prime when I was a student. I wish the price hadn't gone up.


Yeah me too, but they have grown so that makes sense. to think it all started as a book store


Right?!?!  Now, it's the largest internet retailer in the world in terms of revenue.


yup. and jeff has decided to build a clock in a mountain


I guess if you're a billionaire, you can put a clock wherever you want lol! That clock is supposed to run for 10,000 years. I wonder if Amazon will still be around when it finally stops?


that is a good point there. yeah he is rich that is true.


They are so powerful they even go the Postal Service to deliver on Sundays. I always forget about that and am surprised when I get a package on a Sunday.


yeah that is so cool the demand must be so high. have you trie amazonbasics?


Do you try to buy American as much as possible?


I remember hearing that. Trump was upset about that too!


Yeah, but he says that America will never wave the white flag, We only wave the red, white and blue and the era of economic surrender is over.


I will be glad to see Trump go back to his Real Estate and Hotel business


In my opinion, he isn't the greatest, but I prefer him to Hillary.


lol. very true. Trump could learn a lot from the likes of JFK and Washington


Very true. Did you know that the White House has only been the residence of the US President since John Adams in 1800


I did not know that. Isn't the guest house bigger too?


Yes, the guest house is larger than the white house. The term "White House" is often used as a metonym for the president and his advisers.


Could you imagine Hillary being VP since she lost. That would be crazy in this administration especially


Yes, I am so glad that the running up is no longer giving VP.


If I can find them yes I do. I love that the Trump had a event showcasing American-made merchandise.


Many products have components made overseas even when they seem American made


I know, its hard to get anything fully American made due to the fact we don't make everything.


Even our best products in this country that we are famous for have many parts shipped in from overseas


Apple is an American company but the phones are made in China.


That I did know....I don't like Apple anyway. There are a lot of companies like Harley-Davidson and General Motors that are happy with the president new law.


Even Trump's own daughters' clothes are made by workers overseas. I find that hypocritical.


Harley-Davidson has already decided to transfer some production overseas because of the impact of the threatened tariffs.


I heard he likes to save money though. He used the free Pandora app because he didn't want to spend money on the monthly service.


I'm sure he has enough money to buy the company, his first shoe deal from Nike got him 90 million


Warner bros and lebron james have signed a new deal for a "space jam" sequel. That's gonna make him a ton of money.


Yea but I don't think it will be that great with Lebron, the first Space Jam wasn't really that good and it had Jordan


Yeah, but he's still going to get paid and probably points on the back end.


Yea, if I was him I would buy one of those South African cars equipped with a flame-thrower


Yeah. He's probably got a staff to beat people up though. So are you a Jordan guy?


Yea, I watched him deny my Knicks a championship throughout the 90s, I mean Lebrons good and I'm glad he got Cleveland a championship but he's not as great as Jordan


Lol, I remember all the old basketball games on the nintendo that only had like 54 colors


Good. Lebron James bout a 16,000 square foot mansion in LA, that must be nice to live in.


No, not the 23 million it cost to built Lebron's mansion, I'm still working on my first million


Nice. I hope you get there. What is the best part of his mansion, in your opinion


Probably the soundproof theater and the wine cellar Lebron put in there


Yeah, I would make use of both of those, often. Good call. I would also add the cigar bar.


Lol yea the cigar lounge does sound nice with the casino air purifying technology


I cannot fathom that type of wealth and power. It would be crazy...


Lol, Nike must be paying him a lot of money if his bedroom has a private service entrance


Hmm, I did not know that. Country music has roots in Irish, Celtic and English music.


who would have guessed so many different genres influenced the beginning of country music


And it's the most listened to rush hour genre during the evening commute, second in the morning commute. Do you listen to it when you drive?


I switch between that and rock music, or my favorite albums like Linkin Park and NWA


Did you know the Fender Stratocaster was originally intended for country music?


I never knew that, I would never have thought that. Were you a Pink Floyd fan at all?


Their album Dark Side of the Moon is still one of the best selling albums and it has been for 40 years straight!


Wow, cool! And Linkin Park's Hybrid Theory is the best selling of the 21st century. I liked that album.


me too, so many great songs on that one! It was so nice chatting with you!


Love Dierks Bentley, he is a great country singer!


Have a good night. Nice chatting with you.


Yeah, he feels that he has finally established a foothold in country music.


I agree, he is like the modern day George Strait, who just happens to be Jeff Bezos cousin!


Neat! Bentley has often talked about how challenging it is to be in the country music world and he took a break to release a bluegrass record in 2010. Did you listen to that one?


I did not, I would love to listen to that, bluegrass is so interesting. Are you a fan of any other singers?


U2 is cool. They have even opened for themselves a some shows in 1987 as a country music band.


lol, I heard that. They were called the Dalton Brothers from Galveston, TX lol. I wonder what the crowd thought


Yeah I wonder if people fell for it at first.


I am sure they did lol. Did you know there are only 2 african americans in the country music hall of game


I have.  Up until a few months ago, my car had a cassette deck in it.  I still have a record player at home too.


That is awesome.  That lasted over 30 years, from the 70's to early 2000s.  Hold onto it.


I see people selling tape players for 100 and record players for several hundred dollars!


That is crazy, now MP3 is the new craze, I really wonder what the next development will be.


Instant streaming any song anywhere you want without storage.


Even just regular streaming is pretty incredible.  Music certainly has developed in terms of formats.


It all started from the West African griot tradition.


I wonder they developed it to make sure people were paying attention so they could disseminate traditions that way.


I know he is from Canada and hangs out with Steph Curry near my house in Alameda!


That would be a pretty effective method.  It has been great chatting, but I must go.


Same here take care of those records and tapes!


I didnt know he graduated from high school at 25.


Thats interesting.  I think its cold they call him Waldo at Warrior games.  At least he has Rihanna lol.


He also spent a lot of money of first editions of Charlottes Web and Winnie the Pooh, I didnt know he was into childrens literatrue.


I wonder if he will actually let his kids read or touch the books haha.


With the cost of a new paperback, I highly doubt it.


I wonder if the timmy thomas 1972 hit song that Hotline Bling sampled from gets any royalties.


I would hope so, so many rappers use older songs in their music and just call it a remix.


Maybe that is a strategy since the originators maybe gone already.  Have you ever used vinyl record or cassette tape?


Hey! Are you a Star Wars fan? I love George Lucas for creating such a cool storyline.


That is fascinating! Blade runner was the last sci-fi movie to be made completely analog, that is there were no computerized graphics.


Wow, and now it seems like it's all computerized graphics! Speaking of crazy, isn't earth awesome?


Yes earth is epic indeed! When earth was first formed a day was only 5.5 hours long! But that was a very long time ago!


I feel like I would never be able to catch up on sleep during that time lol. I wonder at what point will earth's days be like 40 hours haha.


Yeah I've wondered that as well. I don't look forward to working that long! Earth will also be helium free by the end of the 21st-century. No more balloons for us!


I wonder if clowns will be out of jobs at that time as well haha. We do have to thank Jupiter though, they save us from many asteroids coming our way!


Do they really? I'm not really familiar with that concept. One sad statistic is that more than 80% of the earths natural forest have already been destroyed.


That is so sad! We are destroying the planet we live on! That is even more sad because the world is 71 percent water anyways!


Yes it is. Mostly by oceans but also lakes, rivers, and other sources! Well it was lovely getting to talk with you!


I agree, It was nice chatting with you as well. Have a great day!


Hello! I do like Star Wars! I can't believe companies thought it would be a flop!


Yeah can you believe that? Now the franchise of Star Wars is estimated to be worth $65 billion.


I'm glad 20th century fox finally decided to jump on board with them! My mind is blown, George Lucas says the entire story is told by r2d2!


Wow I never knew that. Star Wars is the second highest grossing film series of all time. I wonder what the first one is?


Maybe the Harry Potter movies? I don't think the movie Blade Runner comes close to it haha. Have you seen it?


Yeah I have seen all the blade runner movies. They are very cool and gritty. Ridley Scott is a good director.


I still have yet to see one but I want to! I like how the director and Harrison Ford debated if his character was real or not!


Now that is something that I have thought a lot about as well. That classic line at the end of the first movie delivered by the replicant was actually improvise by the actor.


I think the whole concept of that movie was done right just by hearing about it! I didn't even know the composer to the soundtrack couldn't read music!


Also, apparently in the 70's Disney recycled a lot of animation frames so there are identical scenes in some movies. I am going to have to look out for those.


I do like dogs. I also like cats. I like all animals really ha ha.


I have cats. I had dogs growing up but we have a lot of stray cats around my home and we took a couple in so now we are out of pet space.


I don't mind hockey. I do know that Canada is the only country in the world with two national sports and they are hockey and lacrosse.


i like hockey,The referee supervises the game, calls the penalties, determines if goals are scored and handles faceoffs at center ice at the start of each period.


It is very action oriented. It certainly moves quickly. Did you know that if they switch between a hockey rink and a basketball court that the hockey rink remains under the basketball court? I thought they completely swapped them out.


Glad to hear it. Did you know that The Lion King was the first Disney film to be dubbed in Zulu for it's African release?


Yes i know a little bit this film Directed by Roger Allers, Rob Minkoff. With Matthew Broderick is it right.


I'm honestly not sure who directed it. I was quite young when it came out. The main character was Simba, a lion. Speaking of directors, did you know that Frozen was the first animated Disney film directed by a woman.


yes,Frozen, for which she earned an Academy Award for Best Animated Feature. Lee is the first female director


Yes that is correct. I'm glad to see that they did that but sad that it took them so long. I see a lot of Disney toys. Did you also know that the toy industry gets involved in Disney films before the beginning of the film's production?


I don't know about it please explain the details


They prepare to make toys before the movie has even began filming. I was wondering how toys came out so quickly to promote a movie.


Do you know what Oscar Wilde's last words were.


Wow.  That is crazy.  I can't believe that it was ever illegal like that.  Well it sadly still is.


I know right, sounds like a lot of discrimination.


He was unique for sure.  Is Picture of Dorian Gray is one of his most noted works.


He became one of the most popular play writters in London right


Yes, one of the most popular in the early 1890's


The Ballad of Reading Gaols is a legacy, I like that poem, its based on his life on prison


Ill have to check that one out.  I really liked his works.


He had great compositions and still has many fans to the day, there is a $12000 fine for kissing his tomb


I wonder what the obsession is with doing that?


I dont know, many people might feel closer to him that way, I think its really odd and creepy


No, not really, do you follow his last words?


Same here.  I didn't realize he had type of cult following like that.


Oscar Wilde sure had an interesting life, full with challenges and with a lot of talent.


"My Wallpaper and I are fighting a duel to the death. One or other of us has to go"


Im not sure what to make out of that, seems like he was delusional in the end,


It does, it also seems that the wall paper won.


If Wilde is not here with us I guess it did, he was a britsh elitist but also an Irish natioinalist


He had quite the influence, Olivia Wilde's original last name was Cockburn, she changed it to wilde as a tribute to him.


He was homosexual as well I bet that was hard specially at the time


It must have, it is hard enough now, and people were a lot less understanding back then


I guess  society has changed for the better in that way, he was even convicted of sodomy, he spend 2 years in prison


Yeah, and it was done to accommodate the soldiers who were not allowed to get out of the cars


yeah. I think the first drive thru was opened in 1947.


Yeah by McDonalds, that was nice of them to accomodate the soldiers


Yeah that is true. Do you use your phone much?


Yes, I like Phone very much. Because i like phone.


Good for you. DId you know we can grow a rib in 2-3 months


Hmmm maybe for some people is faster. There is a frequency that humans are afraid of.


Hi, I love cars very much. Particularly BMW car was favorite one.


Yeah, I wonder what it sounds like. Nice chat


Nice, good taste. DO you know how Cadillac got its name?


It's Automobile make. And it's parent company was General Motors.


Yeah and got its name after the founder of Detroit, which is quite fitting.


i think the founder's are henry and william.


I do not know that but I guess they liked the name of Antoine de la Mothe Cadillac.


Okay. I like action movies. Specially mission impossible. It was awesome movie. That movie hero tom was very hard worker and great actor.


Yeah he was great in that for sure. DO you know ho the drive thru was invented?


drive thru is a type of service provided by a business that allows customers to purchase products without leaving their cars.


I think guns are dangerous since people can bring them to things like concerts.


I am a fan of music yes I don't really enjoy country however.


I really enjoy edm personally, who is your favorite composer?


I personally don't have a favorite musician right now, who is your favorite president?


to be honest, I do not have one because each president has his pros and cons.  How about you


I'm only 21 so I can really only remember 3 presidents all the others where before I was born so I am in the same boat as you.


I see.  How do you feel about Donald Trump and his performance so far in term of economics and national security


Ignoring any of the social issues that he has been scrutinized for I think Trump isn't doing a horrible job at those issues.


I concur.  Btw, did you know that Woodrow Wilson is the only president with a Phd degree


US is the rare country in the world that allows buying guns


I know.  Btw, nice chatting with you.  Have a happy holiday


Yea I think the United States should look for solutions since anyone can buy guns even people with mental problems.


this is inhumane.  Too many innocent people lost their lives because of this controllable issue


Yea an example of that is the country music concert where the guy killed over 50 people.


I agree.  I think gun control issue is the root cause of the problem not the convicter's mental illness


Same I feel mental health is an excuse since other countries have mentally sick people too.


they just use it for an excuse to avoid losing their money from selling guns


Yea I feel the arguments that gun control wont work are mainly from people who feel strongly about having a gun.


Btw, do you like country music or music in general


Hey how's it going. I think wrestling is a fascinating sport. It can be either theatrical or competitive.


That is a very good description. Maybe we should make government leaders wrestle.


I admit I cringe when discussing politics today, but you forced me to picture them in wrestling singlets and I thank you for this image that will give me giggles for the rest of the day!


Ha ha well I imagine it to! I find it odd that the president's guest house is larger than the White House. I guess you got a treat your guests to luxury.


That is very odd, but I wonder if that accounts for the actual living space in the WH, because there are a lot of offices and other working areas were governmental "business" operates.  The guest house is most likely 99% "house".


Yes that's true I'm not sure they count for that. The first president of Zimbabwe was called President banana.


Yes that one is classic. I have a lot of nicknames for the North Korean leader.


He is best friends with The Worm - Dennis Rodman!


Yes that is true. Although North Korea just had an election but it's all for show. There's only one person on the ballot and that was good old Kim Jong. Well it was great chatting with you!


Right - the "Election" in PRNK..... Hey, it was an awesome Chat - have a great day!


Good morning!  I agree on wrestling, and my demographic immediately makes me think of the theatrical variety, a la Hulk Hogan & Andre the Giant!


At least we don't have the runner up being vice president anymore!! Have a good one as well!


Yes those guys were great. Wrestling techniques have even been incorporated into other martial arts as well as military hand-to-hand combat.


I can certainly see that - Greco Roman wrestling was probably developed for combat before it was sport for the emperors.


Yet sounds like it. The Turkish national sport is oil wrestling where men doubt themselves in olive oil and wrestle. Definitely an odd sport lol.


Wow!  Again, due to my age and obvious immaturity, I think of something completely different when I hear oil wrestling than a Turkish national sport involving men!


Yes I would much prefer to be the women's national sport. The man who designed macho man's wrestling gear also design close for Jimi Hendrix, Aerosmith, and more.


Macho Man and The Ultimate Warrior were my favorite guys when I was still eating my own boogers and making out with my arm.  Oooooohhhhhh Yeeeeeaaaaahhhh!  The Aerosmith comparison for costumes doesn't surprise me at all!


Ha ha that is awesome. Apparently Plato lead a professional wrestling career before becoming a famous philosopher.


I can see the correlation there because wrestling (not WWE) is pretty philosophical at the most basic level.  A battle of wits before physicality, but still using physical attributes to execute the moves and strategies.


I'm surprised 13 year olds can create a FB.


Myspace turned down an offer to buy facebook for $75 million in early 2005


Yep. And it's illegal in Schleswig-Holstein to use the like button


Did you know Facebook is primarily blue because mark zuckerburg suffers from red-green colorblindness?


I think I read that before. Did you know burger king had a promotion to unfriend 10 people and get a whopper


I did not know that. I saw the had a special recently to order from within 100 feet of a McDonads and get a $.99 whooper...


Yes and it works. My husband just did that to test it.


This can't be a good idea, right? Iceland are rewriting their constitution via facebook; allowing the public to make suggestions and alterations.


That cannot be good. In 2012 facebFac was worth $104billion


Did you see Bohemian Rahpsody? Queen's guitarist, brian may, has a phd in astrophysics.


Good morning. I was schocked to know that 1886 is regarded as the birth year of the modern car when German inventor Karl Benz patented his Benz Patent-Motorwagen. I thought it was Ford


Pink floyd guitarist turned a 'grand houseboat' on the river thames into a floating recording studio called the astoria.


Nice. Van Halen recorded the guitar solo for Bear It and set the speakers on fire


The sound of the vibrating strings is projected either acoustically, by means of the hollow chamber of the guitar (for an acoustic guitar), or through an electrical amplifier and a speaker.


Matthew Bellamy hold the world record for most smashed guitars on tour.


Do you think he has a guitar sponsorship, where they're like "Stop smashing guitars, we can't afford to give you more!"?


Either that or a sponsor saying do it. We are setting a record.


Yeah! That might be more valuable than the guitars. Great point!


I thought it was Ford also with the model T.


Facebook was only limited to Harvard students at one point


I guess that was when it was mass produced. I feel like I was lied to all my life... At least we have mass production...


I think the key words for the Benz is the modern car. Model T did have the mass production.


The car brand cadillac was named after french explorer antoine de la mothe cadillac who founded detroit. That's unique!


That's cool. Did you know McDonald's added a drive through to accomaaccom soldiers who couldn't get out of their cars in uniform
