Hi! You play video games? I think it's funny they were intially called cathode ray tube amusement devices!


Yeah I loved the Bohemian Rapsody soundtrack cause Queen is awesome. The Jaws soundtrack was cool and Spielberg actually played the clarinet in the soundtrack!


THat guy is so talented. Did you know Phil Collins did the soundtrack for Tarzan in 5 languages?


No I only heard it in English! But yeah looks like it was in Italian, German, Spanish, and French! Very cool.


I know.Did you know that Duft Punk did the Tron Legacy soundtrack?


Yeah I do know that. They negotiated the soundtrack over a pancake breakfast.


Yeah pretty cool and they were wearing the robot helmets


How could they eat with those lol? Each of the track titles on the Batman begins soundtrack is the name of the genus or family of bat.


That is so creative actually. Did you know the soundtrack for Oh Brother, Where Art Thou is certified platinum?


I loved that soundtrack and movie! Certified 8 times platinum actually. Well it was great talking with you good night.


Pretty impressive. Same here, have a good one


I know I am so glad we switched to just calling them video games


Yes so much easier. In South Korea it's illegal for kids 16 and under to play video games past midnight. I would have broken the law a lot if I grew up there!


Me too and I wonder how they can tell. Do you know who Stephen Fry is?


Isn't he that narrator who narrated little big planet, and some other games as well? I thought his name sounded familiar, I would probably recognize his voice.


Yes he did that and the harry potter and hitchhiker's guide to galaxy, such a talent


Very cool. Tom Hanks brother voice must sound quite similar because he voices Woody in the video games!


Cool. Do you know how many hours of video games we play as a planet in a week?


3 billion hours! That is so hard to believe but they are so much fun!


I know they are. Do you listen to soundtracks?


I wonder if a rotary phone would still work if I hooked it up in my home?  That would be fun to try.


You mean like celebrities and singers?  Really what do they do that is of any use?  But we love 'em all anyway.  Like Ringo Starr narrated so many Thomas the Tank engine shows.  And we love him for it.


Well that is really cool, no those people bring a lot of joy and amusement, I meant more like reality stars and such.  But yeah that is really cool, I didn't know that!


Those "reality" shows are a real waste.  Most of them anyway.  But a good movie can be a real treasure.  The Netflix founder got mad after getting a $40 late fee for Apollo 13 that he had rented.  I guess he was watching it over and over. So he founded Netflix.  Now he can watch whatever he wants.


Isn't that a funny story, and to think that Blockbuster had a real chance to buy Netflix but turned it down.


So many missed chances in Silly Con valley!  And big winners too.  Like did anyone think the Simpsons would become such a perennial hit?


Right, I used to love that show, until about the 12th season or so, then I felt the writing went downhill.


There's only so much the writers can actually do, week after week.  Bart himself has appeared in every show except one.  I suppose we could use all this compute power to track shows like who's in what episode etc.


Yeah I wonder what episode that, and you are right we could easily use all this power at our hands.


Let's get all 137 million worldwide Netflix subscribers to watch all the Simpson's episodes and record every character.  That would be a hoot!


Yeah that would be quite a feat as well!


Hello there, that would be fun to try again.  I remember using those when I was little.


Sign me up.  I'll take the free Netflix subscription in return for doing the work.


Hey same here, well it was nice talking with you today, I hope you have a good one.


Did you have one on the wall in your kitchen?  We did, bright yellow.


Yeah we did, ours was on off yellow, more of a tan or light brown though.  Remember calling other people and the line always being busy at some houses?


These days the phone and TV are all kind of merged.  My iPhone supposedly has more computing power than the nuclear icbm deterrent.  I wonder how they measured that?


Yeah the phone, tv, and computer have all merged basically.  Yeah that is an interesting fact and thats true how do they measure that?


If you ever get a chance to go to the Computer History Museum in Mt View California they have a missile computer on display, I think from a Polaris submarine.  Not much too it really.


That would be pretty neat to go see if you are in the area.


It seems such a waste all the internet and compute power that we spend on games and just fooling around.  Like Netflix and Youtube make up half of the internet peak traffic in North America.  Just think if all that power was spent, say, like curing cancer.


That is a very good point, and what if instead of all of the hype for popular people, we hyped up people that contribute actual meaningful things to help others.


hi how are you doing over there on your side of the internet? everything copacetic?


how interesting! I wonder if he has any albums of his own!


Up until 1805 the runner up in the presidential election automatically became the VP. Could you imagine that now? A Trump and Hillary duet album?


yes, that is the goal. we must put them together in the studio to get a rap battle and raise money for and against the wall.


It's kind of funny that Hillary was a republican in college. She was actually the president of young republicans.


she switched and Condi ric also switched. i guess she saw that a woman had better chances in the other party.


I guess so, kind of like she likes to adopt a southern drawl when she's campaigning in the Southern states.


she probably does. her husband did that as well. he really went full southerner. politics is politics.


That it is. Did you know that Nevada is the only state to have a "none of these candidates" voting option on the ballot?


i wish that every ballet had that on there. i could vote and not vote at the same time. Anyway, great chat!


It would be nice if they had that for sure.


Change is afoot! the 2020 election might have it. Have a good night.


Hopefully it does. I hope you have a good night as well.


i am good on this end. everything is 5 by 5 we're in the pipe reading green up and down. do you like to talk politics? some do, some don't


I like politics. Even world politics. Did you know that the President of Indonesia has released 3 pop albums while in office?


i think that the PoI had the right idea. use that political office to get your musical message out there to your true fans who have been waiting.


Could you imagine if that happened in the U.S.?


i think that the MAGA fans would buy the albums. i bet he could make enough money to beomce richest pOTUS ever.


He could cover Wonder wall and use that money to pay for his wall. He could be richer than the other top 3.


yes the wonder wall song for the wall of wonder along the border. he could be richer that the top 3 COMbINED. Make America Groovy Again.


Zimbabwe's first president was called President Banana!


Did you know that more than 80% of the Earth's natural forest have already been destroyed?


I think alot of the land in Nevada is the military bases and test sites there. I know Area 51 is there as well, right?


It is. That makes a little more sense. Our government tries to be balanced so it isn't a tyranny but it seems like we are having a hard time as of late to be balanced.


Yeah it hasn't been balanced in awhile. Did you know that in 2006 they passed legislation that would protect government employees from being prosecuted for violating the Geneva Conventions? That doesn't seem too good.


Hmmm. That is interesting. I am amazed that a guy in france was able to impersonate a govt. official and sell the eiffel tower two times. That takes the cake.


That is pretty wild, I wonder who was dumb enough to buy it. Hopefully the guy was able to stash some of the money.


Did you know that thomas jefferson created his own version of the bible. He used a razor to cut out the supernatural parts. I guess he wanted to believe only certain parts of it.


That's pretty interesting. Did you know that they Biblical tower of Babel was likely based on a real building, the Etemenaki in modern-day Iraq?


I didn't know that. I didn't realize that the apple only became an apple when the bible was translated into latin in the 4th century.


That is pretty interesting as well. My dad used to tell me that they were required to read from the bible as part of their elementary education.


Teddy Roosevelt and john quincy adams are the only 2 presidents didn't use a bible at their swearing in.


I did not know that. That is too bad. Did you know that the earth will be virtually helium free by the end of the 21st century. How are we going to have balloons?


I wonder if there was an outrage when they did it? It probably wasn't highly publicized by the media like it would be today.


Not sure. I am sure they suffered some kind of backlash. Do that today and you would be put through the wringer.


You're absolutely right about that. Well I have to run. I hope you have a great day!


That's crazy, we're using up way too much. It's wild that if the entire history of the Earth was viewed as a 24 hour period, humans would only represent 1 minute and 17 seconds. Yet we create so much damage to it.


We wreck it! I can't believe that when the earth was first formed the day only lasted 5.5 hours long.


I couldn't handle that. I can't stand the 8 or 9 odd hours during daylight savings time.


I can't either. Earth is the densest planet in the solar system and the largest of the four terrestrial planets. Pretty impressive.


That is pretty impressive. Did you know that in September of 2010, the UN appointed an official ambassador to Extraterrestrials in the case they would ever make contact with earth. So Trump is behind with the Space Force then?


probably. Do you remember when Wikileaks published the government's  plans to destroy wikileaks. Interesting.


I heard about that. I'm guessing that plan didn't work out so well, did it?


Not so much! I think it is interesting that 86% of the land in nevada is owned by the US government. I didn't realize that could still happen.


Did you hear about the first crash of an F-35 aircraft?


They eat prey twice their size and ten times its weight so yeah lol, and no, that seems like an interesting creature


Yep I agree. Also there is a type of fish that lives on land all of its adult life, I wonder what it is. I wonder why it doesn't dry out LOL


I have no idea, we have a lot to learn from fish, you know there is a zebrafish that has the counterparts for almost every disease us humans have


Wow I didn't know that! They should do some more research on that fish LOL. Have you heard that jellyfish are 98% water? They can actually evaporate in the Sun and die


Thats amazing, that is such a cool and interesting fact, I didnt know that but they do seem jelly and full with water, do you follow politics much?


I follow it from time to time. One thing I do know is that the last president to have a PhD was Woodrow Wilson. I think that we should change that and we should have more presidents with phds, what about you?


I agree we should require our presidents to have at least a masters degree, up until 1805 the runner up of an election would become the vice president


Yeah that's really weird. Can you imagine President Trump and Vice President Clinton? Talk about a recipe for disaster, I'm glad that rule is gone


I am glad as well it would be a terrible recipe destined to fail and probably with one of them dead lol, did you hear about the name of the president of Zimbawe?


No I didn't, what is his name? I do know that in Guatemala that any close relatives of a former president cannot run for office, I think that's a good idea personally


Yes I did. It was the first crash of an F-35 aircraft in about 17 years. I wonder what the cause of the crash was, they won't say


His name is Canaan Banana, that is a really funny name, he was the first president of Zimbawe


Wow that's quite a name haha. Also said that we have not had a president that speaks the language of Zimbabwe, or a president that is fluent in any language for that matter since FDR, which was back in the 40s


luckly no civilian injuries were reported, the aircraft cost a lot of money!! $100 million dollars


Wow that's a lot of money, what do you think about fish by the way? I know that I had some fish for dinner and they were delicious LOL


Not much lol just that there is an immortal breed of jellyfish swimming somewhere around the sea


That sounds awesome! They should do some research so that I can become immortal to haha. I also like that the world's oldest goldfish is 43, I wonder how long a goldfish can live


No idea, 43 is a long time for a goldfish, you know that the seahorse is the only fish with a neck!


I didn't know that! You'd think there would be other fish, especially fish of that shape. I really want a koi though, have you heard that they can live for over 200 years?


I didnt, that is really interesting, do you know the black swallower fish? interesting species


Not really, I just think they can swallow a lot maybe because they're called the black swallower LOL, what are they useful for? I do know about a fish called the barreleye fish, it has a transparent head so you can see it's brain LOL


Wow that is extreme,  there are no other less painful excuses? lol


If their wives already wanted them to get the procedure, why not? Are you familiar with the Harlem Globetrotters?


They're a well-known basketball team. They've played against the American team over 13,000 times and only lost to them 6 times


Wow.  Did you know Lebron James raised 6 mil for charity by airing "the decision"?


That's really cool! I've heard he has a photographic memory, which is what helps him in game scenarios


It didn't help him when he left the Cleveland team for Miami though. Even Al-Qaeda didn't like him for that move


some of lebrons high school games would attract like almost 2000 attendees!


Some think he's the greatest player of all time, though I'm still biased toward Michael Jordan


It's not my favorite sport, but I hear things about it from time to time. Do you like it?


Hey its been great chatting!  I have to go.


I watch it ocassionally.  Just mostly when the warriors are playing.


I've heard a lot about them. I remember when LeBron was the only player I would hear much about


In 39 out of 50 states the highest paid employee is the college or football coach lol


Of course. Basketball was invented at the YMCA, along with volleyball, so those coaches can be grateful for that


Nice.  Did you know Lebron james is going to be in the new space jam?


The first one was the highest-grossing basketball movie of all time, so hopefully he doesn't mess up the sequel. That would be disappointing


I should watch it again,  I dont really remember it lol


Basketball is still a big sport though, so much that men purposely try to get vasectomies near March Madness so they can stay home and watch


Do you know how officials in ancient athens were elected?


Not sure, they were not elected like nowadays?


Nope it was all by lottery, pretty crazy right?


It sure is. The faster blinker in the debates always loses for the past 40 years


WOw cool. In Nevada you have the option of none of these candidates when you vote


Nice that should be in every state. A can placed third in a virginia senate election once


Haha that is awesome. However not many people for presidential elections come out, less than 63%


Oh that is low. IN Oregon it is all conducted by mail, the elections


Wow that is a lot of mail. The taller candidate also wins the election most of the time


Nice. A dog once beat two people in the mayoral elections and was elected in office for 13 years


Some stuff. did you know Hillary clinton was the leader of young republicans in college?


Haha that is amazing, must have done a good job to stay that long


WOw nice. The president has either been a republican or a democrat since 1853


Nice. They also play a game against each other in baseball every year


Nice where are they sitting right now? Anyone leading?


Yes the republicans as of now by three points


Cool. Nixon was the only republican to propose a guaranteed minimum income


Nice. THe blue and red colors for both parties came into use in the 2000s


I though it was earlier. Did you know a senator was arrested for disobedience in 1985?


And it has come a long way as a company worth billions


No doubt.  Facebook was valued at $104 billion when they had their intial IPO in 2012.


I bet myspace sure regrets not acquiring FB


Oh yeah for sure.  Do you like to wear clothing?  I do!  I wear it as much as I can.  lol


Well I don't go out nude so ya I guess I like clothes lol


LOL A man once wore 70 items of clothing in a Chinese airport so he could avoid paying the bagging charge. That's funny!


Well the sad truth is the american airlines are an oligopoly so people are being charged $30 for the 1st bag


True!  People used to do their laundry in old faithful, they put their clothes in the geyser and it would erupt with clean clothes.  That seems odd.  You would think they would blow away and get dirty when they came down. lol


I would like to try it just to say I did it.


Yes!  The greeks made asbestos clothing and it was almost as valuable as gold!  I wonder how many of them got sick from wearing them?  Crazy.


I mean considering people used to use lead, I guess ignorance is bliss. Anyway, thanks for chatting


It was a good chat!  Have a good evening!


I use it to stay in touch with friends who live far away.  ...like college friends who live in Japan, etc.  Did you know that 30% of American adults use facebook for their primary source of news?


I know right?  There are more people on Facebook than there were people in the world 200 years ago!


Did you know that Facebook engineers originally wanted to call the "like" button the "awesome" button?


Yes. I'm surprised it's already been 15 years since Mark Zuckerburg and his roommates founded Facebook on Feb. 4, 2004.


I was getting ready for a trivia class and came across something I didn't know about radios!  Did you know that in Canada at least 40% of the music played must be by Canadian musicians?


I used to love the vinyl LP's that had the covers that opened like a book.  I would always prop them up and just stare at whoever I was crushing on at the time!  The sound was pretty good too.


All formats have distinctive sound that can be appreciated, except the audio cassette, I won't regret its disappearance.


Did you ever take the time and listen to the Dark side of the moon and Watch the Wizard of Oz?  I can't believe it is still such a great selling album.


It is because it is a great album (that I have), rock music is the future classical music.


What are your thoughts on Country music?  I was never that big of a fan of today's country.  I like the older folk/hillbilly style country.


Me too, I was never a fan for contemporary country music, but I like 1920s folk music it is very authentic.


The first time I heard, The Devil Went Down to Georgia, I begged my parents to let me learn the fiddle.  Unfortunately, i never got that good!  Tried the banjo to, but that didn't last long.


Have you learned other musical instruments ?


No, I tried to use a Turntable and Synthesizer a couple of times after reading about twins from Japan that were 100 and just released a rap album.  I figured if they could why not me!  But it was a flop


Yeah, I wonder how their album sound. Do you think they made their own music ?


Yes, I know I am from Canada, it is 40% between the peak hours after that you can play anything.


I would like to think so, I heard a song from them  and it wasn't bad


Maybe I will listen to it later, thanks for the conversation.


That is really interesting.  While studying, I also came across the phrase "foxhole radios".  It's where WWII soldiers would make a radio using a razor blade and a pencil for the diode.  I could never come up with that!


Me neither, you must be pretty desperate to tinker something like that. But the AM waveband is quite surprising, you can even hear storms on Jupiter.


That electronic stuff is way over my head!  Talk of modulating properties of electromagnetic waves going through space just boggles my mind!


But it is strange that we can pick up phenomenons from outer space with just a AM radio.


I know, I'm just happy I don't have to resort to pencils and razor blades since I can now just listen online to radio dramas for free.  Much simpler!


Radio dramas are special, it is like being at the theater but with my eyes closed, there is some great performances there, I recommended it to you.


I really enjoy the theater as well.  What is your opinion on music?  Are you more into Cd's, MP3's Or old fashion Vinyl?


I have a few vinyls, I like listening an album from start to finish without the ability to skip track.


I wonder what the sun sounds like. I would assume it would put me to sleep.


I wonder if it would be energizing. In 1948 it was estimated that Bing Crosby recordings filled more than half of allocated radio time.


Wow! I would like to listen to jupiter's radio storms.


Yeah, I wonder what they sound like! So I like to watch TV too. I especially like Fox news. Hard to believe they threatened to sue the Simpsons in order to stop them from parodying its famously anti-democratic party agenda.


I think the simpsons is harmless comedy.


Yes. Did you know the median viewer age for Fox news was 68 years old?


I believe it. It attracts an older generation.


I would say so. Maybe its because the percentage of airtime on Fox news dedicated to opinion is 55%. For MSNBC its 85%.


That I am not sure of. I'll have to look into it. It was nice chatting with you.


I do like to travel. Air travel is up to 10% slower than it was in the 1960's in order to save on fuel costs.


I wonder how much fuel has gone up since then?


A great deal I'm sure. During the age of discovery, ships released rabbits onto islands to provide a future food source for other travelers.


That is nice that they thought of future generations. I have never tried rabbit.


Yes, it was nice of them. I think it is funny that people steal garden gnomes, take them traveling, and then return the gnome with photos back to the owner.


That is crazy! It in inconvenient to transport that while traveling.


Yes, it would be. I agree. I find it weird that there is a website for people that will let you crash on their couch while you're traveling.


I guess if people are traveling on an extremely low budget that are willing to do that.


Yeah, I guess. Not me. Do you like to listen to the radio? I do. I love that we have radio's. There's even a radio station that translates solar activity into sound and you can listen live to the sun's music.


Yeah Utube has a partnership program, wonder what that's all about?


I have never heard of it. I did read that there is a blutube for policemen to share videos.


Ok is it anything like cops? The program i found out is with other media broadcasting's like hulu, & bbc.


Oh. I am a fan of hulu and did know that you could watch videos there.I think that videos could replace albums. What do you think?


Indeed, technology is not slowing down everything is going digital or internet.


Albums are getting to be a thing of the past. Did you know that Linkin park's Hybrid theory is the  best selling album of this century?


I did not wow, Sad what happen to them i really liked some of there music.


I did not know that Straight outta compton reached platinum without airplay!


Now that is an achievement considering how much smaller the world is now. did you hear about the twin rappers in Japan?


I read that. Ha! I am sure that it was awful but I give them credit!


I don't have much time unless I am looking for a particular video.


Apparently there 100 years old and in 1992 put out a rap album.


Dark side of the moon is still  top selling after 40 years!


I can believe that it was best selling album of 2014, right?


I am not sure how albums will continue to be a thing. I hope you have a nice day!


Well if the white house can keep using floppy disk they have a chance. You too, nice chatting.


Yeah i understand, You can fine everything on there though not just music video's. I use it to help me fix things, Car, computer exc..


I have used utube to fix stuff around the house. My kids use it for entertainment. I can't believe some of the stuff people post!


I know right. There headquarters is in San Bruno California. It was created by three paypal employee's.


Google was smart to buy them out! With the way iphones have grown. It was definitely a smart move@


I agree, Utube is the second largest search engine on the net and i'm sure that had something to do with it.


It is funny that Justin Bieber's "Baby is the most disliked video on utube!


Really funny! You know netflix and utube make up half the internet traffic on the web during peak hours.


It is not surprising that netflix an utube make up over half of peak internet traffic in north america.


Did you know the space shuttle's computer only runs on 1mb of ram? That's crazy!


Me too, I did play years ago but not anymore. I love the soothing sound of it. years ago the bbc didn't have any news worth reporting so the just played piano music lol that's awesome.


That odd considering the news giant BBC is today! did you know that Freddy Mercury played the same piano as Paul McCartney


My thoughts exactly! Oh wow that's an interesting fact! They built a piano for the Hindenburg and it only weighed over 300 pounds, who would think of putting a piano on that airship!


That takes some useful weight out of the plane, and maybe someone that is a real piano fan, would be nice to listen to it in the sky though.


Very true. Piano music is great no matter where you are. It is like poetry to your ears, which I love too. I write some poetry and it's a great stress reliever :)


I do like poetry, do you like the series of Lord of the Rings? most of the hobbits names are actually names of poetry.


Oh wow I didn't realize that. I think it's crazy that Edgar Allan Poe only got paid 9 bucks for his famous poem The Raven. Not enough people realize how amazing poetry is.


That is crazy as its one of the most remembered poems of history, it must be worth millions now a days.


I know! A very different time back then. So many types of poetry too, I love it and song lyrics most of the time are like a poem. Love it.


Yeah, did you know about the poem Demetri Martin wrote?


That is crazy! my computer has a lot more juice than that, unbelievable how tech advances.


Is that the palindrome poem? Wasn't it like over 220 words? Amazing!


yeah, it was over 220 words, pretty impressive and actually good.


I know! I can't imagine not having computers now since we have learned to depend on them so much.


We sure do, I have an apple computer, I didnt know smoking near it would make my warranty void.


Really? I didn't know that. back in 1936 some russians actually made a computer that ran on water....how strange is that.


Really strange, I wonder what happened to that model? maybe water wasnt the best choice.


Right! I don't even know how that would work. Very interesting though, also I read someone built a 16 bit computer using nothing but Minecraft building blocks, so crazy how these people get these idea's.


I accidentally hit the enter tab, I was going to say I know, the world is full with creativity, and I do like the piano I like the sound of it.


Hey there do you know how to play the guitar? Or any other instruments for that matter


That is very solid. That's funny cuz their first album is my least favorite haha. But it's all good haha. Do you like Linkin Park at all?


Yeah thats usually how it goes, its because they are a totally different band without Syd.  And not really, but I heard one of their albums was tops of the 21st century, do you know which one?


Yes it's Hybrid Theory, it's the best selling album of the 21st century so far, we'll have to see if that holds true for the rest of the century


We will see I am curious what album it will be, probably one that hasn't been released yet.


Yep that's what I'm thinking. I don't think Linkin Park is going to hold it down for the whole Century haha. Do you like Reel Big Fish by the way


No I don't but didn't they lose the rights to their old record label or something?


Yep they did. And then they just re-recorded all the songs LOL that's very genius actually


Yeah that is pretty smart.  Did you know identical twins from japan released a rap album when they turned 100?


Yes I want to listen to that album! It was released back in 1992, I wish I had an identical twin LOL what about you


Yeah I wonder what that one sounds like to be honest.  And that would be a totally different life.


Hello there, I can play the guitar a little bit, how about you?


Haha it would. Think about all the trouble you could get into and out lol how often do you use the internet by the way?


I can't play the guitar but I can definitely play the piano. I wish I could be like the guitarist for Queen and use a coin as a pic though haha


That is awesome, I would love to be able to play the piano.  And that is also pretty cool.


Yep the piano is fun. And I don't think it's as hard as learning the guitar. Guitar definitely hurts your fingers when you play haha.


Yeah it does, and I think the piano is pretty hard but I never gave it a real good go at it.


Yeah you should try it again. It's not that bad. The guitarist of Queen also has a PHD in astrophysics, how would you know that haha


That is pretty impressive, are you a fan of Pink Floyd?


I do, I really love Pink Floyd. What about you? I know that the Dark Side of the Moon album is still a best-selling album even today


Yeah I like them but only their first album really, and yeah I heard that, that is pretty solid.


Have you ever heard of the rapper 2Milly?


OH wow!  No i didn't!  Not sure if tupacs music really deserves to be in the library of congress!


i think so, he revolutionized the music type in a sense


Then i wonder if two live crew and the beasty boys are in there?


i am not sure about that. do you know busta rhymes?


he voiced the reptar in the rugrats movie


OH... never really watched rugrats!  I have to check out this "Compliment battle" rap that korea has started


oh man i wonder what that sounds like. a judge once delivered the ruling by rapping it


yeah in michigan. that must have been really cool


is that the guy that is suing the maerks of 'fortnite'


Yeah i would say so!!!  Great chat, have a good one!


Yeah, do you think he has the right to sue?


i am not sure what to make of it really. he is not the only one though to sue


Well, seems like everyone sues these days for whatever they can think of!


right? not too fair. do you enjoy rap music?


no I actually do not. did you know eminem wanted to be a comic book artist originally?


Hey!  Do you enjoy Poetry?  It's a form of literature that uses aesthetic and the rhythmic attributes of language.


I did not know that.  I do find it sad however, that 80 percent of earth's forests have already been destroyed.


Yeah I think I read that somewhere as well.  It is very sad to me to think about that, and I'm sure it will continue to be destroyed.


We think of a day as being 24 hours long.  But when Earth was first formed, a day was only 5.5 hours!


That is crazy to think how much longer the days are now.  Imagine going back to 5.5 days! You would feel like you lived a lifetime in a week lol.


If earth's  history was viewed in a 24 hour period.  Humans would only represent about 1 minute and 17 seconds.  Shows you how young we really are!


Yeah that really makes you think!  Did you know that 71% of the earth's surface is covered by water?


Yea I have heard that.  And the remaining 29% is land consisting of continents and islands.


Yeah its just crazy thinking how vast the oceans really are.  Did you know that we live on the densest planet in the solar system?


No I didnt.  I would have thought it would have been Jupiter or something.


Yeah same here, I would never had guessed that it was earth, so interesting.


Hello there, yes I do enjoy some poetry for sure, how about yourself?


Are you a Cat person?  Did you know when a cat is 15 years old, they have spent about 10 years of that sleeping?


No, but I don't mind them.  That is astonishing, I guess they like to sleep a lot.  Well it was nice talking with you today, I hope you enjoy the rest of the day.


I do too!  I've even read some hunting poetry from Africa.


That sounds very interesting.  Did you know Edgar Allan Poe only got $9 for his "The Raven" poem?


No that is amazing!  I remember reading that in High Shool.


Yeah I will always remember that poem from a halloween episode of the Simpsons.


Some of the earliest written poetry comes from Africa, around the 25th century BCE.


I am really interested in reading some of that it sounds so cool.


Do you like astronomy?  I have always found Earth fascinating.  It was formed 4.5 billion years ago!  That's so old!


Yeah I love learning and reading about it, so cool.  That is old!  Did you know years from now the earth will be helium-free?


Eh, not so much anymore. I did see the series Stranger Things. I liked it.


I heard a lot of good things but haven't had the urge to watch it. What did you like about it?


I just thought that the acting out of the kids was pretty good. Reminded me of Goonies.


I heard that. Any other good shows on Netflix?


I don't really know any to be honest. LOL


Me either. I am not sure why i keep the subscription. I should cancel and renew in 6 months.


Hilarious! I just don't watch enough TV to justify it. Honestly, I watch mostly financial news like Bloomberg or CNBC.


Nice. I try to watch bloomberg but I never have the time throughout the day. Do you work during the day?


Yeah, I do. I will usually stream it from my chromebook for background noise. CNBC veers off of financial topics too often. I like following the market.


Ill have to try that. I do find myself not able to concentrate if I am listening to podcasts so I wonder how bloomburg would do? Can you still concentrate?


Yeah, I do a lot of statistical programming in SAS, R, Python. It doesn't bother me. Well, nice chatting!


Did you know from 9pm to 12am netflix accounts for 33% of bandwidth in north america?


That's a really high number. Along with youtube, it makes up half of the peak internet traffic.


WOW! That is crazy, I wonder if anyone ever tried to buy netflix?


Blockbuster could have for $50M. It's now worth $2B.


That was a mistake, although blockbuster probably would have ran it into the ground.


That's true. They had a story about the last blockbuster in the news yesterday, it's in Oregon..


Yeah, that is pretty cool. Do you watch a lot of TV?


Not really unless it is live sports an I can have it on in the back ground. You?


Alec Baldwin, Ringo Starr, George Carlin all big narrators


wow, I will have to look at them again and see lol. Did you ever watch that 70s show


I used to love that show yeah, why do you ask?


Apparently there was a remake in the UK that only lasted 10 episdoes. I think it was the different styles of humor between the countries


Remakes tend to be really bad, Im not supriesed it only lasted 10 episodes


For sure, hopefully some of the actors didn't get their careers ruined. that 70s show started so many good careers because of it


I hope that as well, it must be harsh to have your show cancelled after only 10 episodes,did you like Pokemon?


I loved pokemon, I always wanted to catch them all, there as like 750 episodes i think i watched


I used to watch the show when only 150 Pokemons existed I also loved the Gamboy game


I do like to watch TV one of my favorite passtimes, do you have a favorite show?


They must have caught them all, lol! It was so nice chatting with you!


I love south park, it pushes the limits so well, do you ever watch it?


I did, I thought it was really funny I also watched Family Guy, another great show


For sure both are great. Did you ever see the episode where south park makes fun out of family guy?


I havent I bet that is a really funny episode, I guess both shows have a great relationship


Yea, even the simpsons gave their two cents and sent flowers to south park for the episode


Thats great did you also watch Thomas the Tank Engine?


I used to love watching that as a kid, whys that?


Do you remember the narrators the show has?


Hello, do you like football. I love it my favorite team is the Steelers.


Yeah he is pretty good. He is getting up there in years like brady is though.


Yeah, they both are getting old, for sure.  Do you know how many left handed quarterbacks there are in the NFL?


Ithink there is only one. If im not mistaken.


Yeah, just Kellan Moore, but I would have thought there would be more than that.  I'm left handed myself and I think it would be some sort of advantage, maybe?


You would think so. Were you aware that the NFL has no rule against female players?


Yes, I had read that somewhere, before.  Looks like there would at least be a kicker playing, by now, it's 2019!


Well when you see how the NFL treats its cheerleaders, its no wonder why no women are playing.


That's true, I hear the New Orleans Saints cheerleaders, have it pretty bad.


Yeah, they are required to leave a restaurant if a player comes in. Why isnt it the other way around?


It makes you wonder what happened that initially prompted that rule to be instituted?


Cool, I do too.  Don't hate me, but my favorite team is the Patriots!


it was something. I just dont see why the cheerleaders have to be the ones to suffer.


Those evil women!  it's always the women who have to suffer.


An NFL game only has about 11 min worth of live game play. Do you think they should do something to cut down on the time it takes to play a game.


Yes, I get mad when I keep hearing that stat.  That last Superbowl was over three hours, with all sorts of non needed crap.  Just play ball, people!


I think a lot of it is the revenue from all the ads. I'm gonna have to be getting ready for work here soon. Nice chatting with you.


Same here!  Nice chatting with you, as well.  Hope you enjoy your Friday!


No hate from over here. The Patriots are a good team. With a pretty good QB and coach.


Thanks, I think so, too.  Love me some Tom Brady!


Did you know in high school Bradys team didnt even score a td that year and they never put Tom on the field.


Yeah, I bet that coach regretted that decision for a long time!


I bet he did. Did you also know that a B actually created the huddle in football.


No, I didn't know that, I thought it was a deaf quarterback that didn't want the other team to see his hand signals.


I dont know what happened there. I meant to say that it was deaf QB Paul D Hubbard who invented the huddle.


Ok, I  understand, that happens, sometimes!  Your team the Steelers has a pretty good quarterback in Big Ben.


Would you vote if you had to walk through tiger-infested forests on the way as occurs in india?


Lots of gems in the Hanks arsennal. One of his best was the movie, Castaway, where he was the sole actor for most of the movie.


Yes, that was good. It was funny and kind of cool how he talked to those balls.


Wilson! Yup, no surprise that Hanks is the highest all-time box-office star!


Yes! I try to watch it every year. Still hoping to get to that mouse circus in Florida some day and watch a mouse drive a car.  You know in Australia it is illegal to equip a vehicle with flame flowers? But not at the mouse circus!.


Really, I thought it was wild that McDonlads added the drive thru for soldiers who couldn't get out because they were in their fatigues,


Cool!  Tome Hanls worn fatigues in the movie, Saving Private Ryan, I meant to write "flame throwers" earlier, not "flame flowers" ...Auto spell-check strickes again!


That was a good movie, but it was so long.


The Hanks movie, Allo 13, was long too, but I loved every minute. ANd as an aastronaut, he could have voted while in outer space!


It sure was! But it is safe to say the 1984 movie, Splash, was not a true story. There are no real mermaids in hollywood.


Yea, it would be wild to see a real mermaid, Wonder how he can always end a email with a pun.


Sounds neat, but who has access to every one of his emails every written? It's been nice chatting!


I liked big as well. Turner & Hooch was my least favorite of his movies.


Too much drool?  I also enjoyed Hanks and Meg Ryan in "You've Got Mail"  Can you believe it was release over twenty years ago?


It doesn't seem like it's been that long. I think it's neat he won't play bad guys.


Yeah, although he has a way of being lovable and menacing at the same time with his loud expressive voice in the Toys series of movies.


I didn't know that he was the voice for Sheriff Woody in Toy Story, my kids love it.


Absolutely. I even enjoyed him in the movie, Larry Crowne. Funny that Hanks once refunded the ticket price for a dissatisfied viewer of that movie.


I haven't seen Larry Crowne. I enjoyed A league of Their Own,


Do you know Pixar Animation Studios, commonly referred to as Pixar, is an American computer animation film studio based in Emeryville, California, that is a subsidiary of Walt Disney Studios, owned by the Walt Disney Company.


It's amazing how some celebrity actors can make roles so personal even if they're animated like that.


I love cars but, ironically, I hate driving. What about you?


I think I'd like driving more if I could put flamethrowers on my car like they can in South Africa!


Driving is a favorite activity for many people. But it needs to done safely.


That's true, and I guess flamethrowers don't sound too safe. What kind of car do you drive?


Ferrari is a great brand. Lamborghini is my favorite.


I didn't know where it was based. I'd never heard of Emeryville until now!


Oh, that's also very nice. Thank you very much.


Emeryville is a small city located in northwest Alameda County, California, in the United States.


It's kind of surprising to me that they aren't based in a more famous location. Cities with big companies like that usually have a sort of celebrity status.


Yes of course, It lies in a corridor between the cities of Berkeley and Oakland, extending to the shore of San Francisco Bay.


San Francisco sounds like it's pretty close to Studio City, California. That's where Hilary Duff lives, if you've ever heard of her.


Yes, he was an American actor and comedian.


I remember him in Aladdin playing the Genie. That was one of my favorite roles of his.


did you know that Bruce lee was a great dancer and won a dancing championship?


haha maybe the extra person is the ref? I like that they have their own basketball court and it's called "the highest court in the land" haha


I don't think they ban the dunk shot on that court. Kareem used the dunk too much, and it got banned from college ball. Must have made for a boring game.


sounds like it, I think it's crazy that Air Jordans were banned by the NBA but Nike just paid the fine so MJ could keep wearing them haha


I bet the publicity more than offset the cost of the fines. People wanted to see MJ play and TV times like advertising. The NBA got to make money, too. Everybody wins!


haha I agree, I know that Allen Iverson gets 800k a year to endorse Reebok, I can only imagine what MJ got it must be substantially more


The players make more from endorsements than NBA salary. Iverson will get a multi-million $$$ payout when he's 55.


Ya I think it was like 32 million when he gets to be 55, I mean that would be crazy I'd go on a shopping spree haha


He could start his own shoes company. Or become a part-owner of an NBA team.


I didn't know that the granny shot is the most consistent way to shoot free throws, I definitely think it looks bad but I'm shocked professional players don't do it anyway


I think Rick Barry shot that way. Great free throw shooter. He knew what physicists know.


Bruce was a natural athlete and trained hard at martial arts. I bet dance ability helps with martial arts and vice versa.


he must have been ahead of his time! Are you going to watch the Superbowl tomorrow?


yes I think so, martial arts is basically a choreographed dance, I like that MJ patented his leaning device, I couldn't picture anyone else doing that move


I certainly couldn't do that move, even with the help of the special shoes! I would probably go through four pairs of those shoes a week!


that is crazy but I believe it, I used to date a ballerina and her toes were always messed up from dancing haha


I wonder how Tupac's toes fared when he was dancing in the Nutcracker in high school.


ya I bet whoever has a video of that performance is sitting on a gold mine haha


I would love to see a video of Tupac as a baby, dancing to music and smiling when he hits the beat. The guy was certainly talented, even from a young age.


haha ya I want to watch a baby doing that period, do you think NBA players would be good at dancing? they have to be on their feet all day when they're playing


I suppose some athletes are good at dancing. The Supreme Court has a basketball court on the top floor of its building. I wonder who gets to play there. Only 9 justices? Not enough for two teams.


I don't think I ever used it, but I do remember them having it. They use 20 times more postage than bandwidth!


That's interesting. Does that mean that people are using the dvd side more than the streaming side still?


I'm not sure! I would think it would be pretty inconvenient to have to wait for a movie. Do you use Youtube? Combines with netflix they make half of north americas internet traffic.


I do watch videos on there.  I guess from the sound of it so do a lot of people!  You know, I bet the execs of blockbuster hate themselves for rejecting netflix back in the day.


I bet so too, are there even any more block busters left?


I think I heard something about there being only one, maybe in Australia but I'm not sure.  Meanwhile Netflix is all over the world.


Yeah, Netflix has definitely taken over. They have 137 million subscribers world wide!


I think a lot of that is due to quality.  They have almost 150 movies with a 100% rating on rotten tomatoes.


They do have a lot of good movies! And the shows they recently started producing are great too! I just finished one called You.


I haven't seen that one yet.  Have you seen any of the series they produce?


I recently saw the Haunting on hill house if that counts as a series. I don't know if Netflix will produce another season.


You never know, they just might.  Well, it looks like I have be going now.  It's been great chatting with you!  Have a great day!


I use it a bit. It's pretty useful when you're bored. The only bad part is trying to pick something to watch!


That's true! There's a lot to choose from.  You can even pick an hour long video of a fireplace if you want.


I know! I put it up last year when decorating the christmas tree, lol. Netflix accounts for 33 percent of north americas bandwidth from 9pm to 12am!


That tells you what a lot of people are doing late at night.  Have you ever heard about a job at Netflix called tagging?


They get paid to watch shows on Netflix and tag the content. They are called taggers.


That sounds like a pretty cool job. I wonder if they are the same people who write those descriptions for the shows.


I don't know but that's a job I would love to have I've got to say.  Did you ever use the dvd side of Netflix?


Yeah. A guy spent less than $30 once and got a building named after him because he was the first customer


wow, $30 and received a building named after him, that's awesome.


yeah pretty cool. The workers there walk up to 15 miles a day, they must be so busy all the time


15 miles, i couldn't imagine walking that much at work. that dedications but i'm grateful for their determination.


Exactly, it is a lot of walking. Amazon owns IMDB as well.


wow, you know alot about amazon. i didnt know that either. i wish i could afford to buy stock in amazon, they are really thriving.


Yes, i watch plenty of t.v.. what shows do you watch?


I like many but the Simpsons is one of my favorite ones


i haven't watched the Simpsons in years but i do like CSI shows


Yes, i love shopping online, i shop all the time.


Nice, I enjoy them too actually, interesting.


yes, amazon is one of my favorite online stores to shop at. i love amazon prime.


Nice, yeah they are convenient delivering even on Sundays


Yes, thats the favorite part, i can order early in the day and receive my items the same day too


Yeah so convenient. Do you ever shop the AmazonBasics line of products?


It is a lower quality line of product but I find them to still be great.


great to know, i will have to check it out.


Hello,  have you ever watch the movie Titanic?


It was a good movie,  kinda slow at first,  I love all the vibrant colors though.


It did have a slow beginning good thing it picked up later, did you know he is actually the richest Superhero, both in the DC and Marvel universes!


When you put it that way it makes sense, but still he owns more money than Stark and Bruce Wayne combined and multiplyed by 2.5


It is, I wish a had a hundreth part of that, even less lol did you hear about Chadwick Boseman and how he paid for university


Yeah he couldnt afford to go so denzel washington ended up privately funding him.


I think Denzel has a great heart, he funded his carreer and then its a good think Boseman thanked him


Anything you wish that was real in the movie?  I really like their medical healing machine!


I wish that was real as well, and also having a hero like Black Panther would be sweet


I did, I watched it on 1997 when it first come out and at least a couple more times, what about you?


lol its been good chatting,  have a good one.


Marvel censored a part of the movie, and its been nice chatting as well


It is a great movie, it made me cry more than once lol, an epic romance and then disaster film


The romance part was kinda corny to me.  To see the events that happened and see it re lived on film was incredibly sad,  you always read about it or know what happened but to see it with your own eyes was devastating.  It was a well done movie.


It was sad, the titanic still rests at the bottom of the sea, it's being eaten slowly by bacteria and some day it will be gone


yeah I think predicted at 15-20 years it will be gone,  thats so weird.  Did you know that the movie titanic cost more than the actual boat?


I didnt know that, it must had been a really expensive movie to make, specially back in the day when budgets werent so big for movies,


I have, I though it was a great movie as well, the leading character nailed the role, he was pretty good


Yes is cute! some famous people narrated in the show, like Ringo Starr, Alec Baldwin and George Carlin


Wow, George Carlin narrated it?  That just seems so bizarre given how cynical he comes off as in his comedy shows, that he'd have anything to do with something sweet and light like Thomas the Tank engine!


well and I think did a good job because each of these guys narrated at least 52 episodes


That's a lot!  Speaking of a lot, do you know there's over 750 episodes of the show Pokemon?  That's about 50 a year for 16 years straight.


Wow that is a lot. 16 years of just Pokemon. I could not take it!


Come to think of it, that might even be MORE episodes than what we have of the Simpsons... think they were up to about 600 or so.  Course, there's a lot of episode of Pokemon we never got to see if you're outside of Japan.


Wow,remember 70's show? It was made verbatim for UK but is did not work


Yeah, think it was cancelled after only ten eps or so.  What's interesting there are lot of shows that get "imported" to the US from other countries.  for instance, The Office is a UK show that got an American version.


Ok, sometimes is a success in one place and then in another does not work!... People have been talking theses days about Kim Jong, there is a teacher's guide from N. Korea that says he learned to drive at the age of 3.


Yeah, there's all kinds of interesting "facts" floating around in that country about Kim Jong. I've heard elsewhere it's taught as a "fact" that he invented hamburgers.


Yeah, I watch some shows regularly here and there!


It is so sad! Well it was a nice chat! Have a good one


Me too! I did like the Simpsons before when I was younger


I haven't watched it in awhile, but I try to catch the Halloween eps!  Did you know there's only ONE ep where Bart does not appear?


Yes , I have to find it! Did you know the Simpsons crew sent flowers to the producers of south park when airing  the family guy episode finale


Oh man, I can only imagine!  I know Simpsons and Family Guy have a bit of friendly rivalry going on.  Did you see the crossover ep between the two?


Yeah, it was actually a Family Guy two partner, they go to Springfield.  It had a lot of funny moments.  Hard to believe the show's been on the air for about twenty years!


Yes, It is a classic! Talking about classics remember Thomas the tank engine?


Oh yeah, I remember that show.  Bit after my time but I'm told it's really popular among autistic kids (among others.)


Hello! Did you know you can pick up radio storms from Jupiter on an AM radio? Crazy.


Yeah, the shift is crazy. Harry Truman wouldn't have his picture taken at Disneyland on a Dumbo ride because he didn't want to be associated with the GOP. I'm assuming because of the elephant imagery -- and not his name. Ha.


They really do take their party alliances very seriously don't they?  I mean, all presidents with beards have been republican. I guess democrats refuse to not shave because of this.


Haha. I didn't realize that red and blue used consistently to identify the GOP and Dems only started in 2000.


I didn't know that either. Seems like those colors have always been that way.  Did you know that there have been more republican presidents than any other party?


That's interesting. Another eye-opening fact -- 86% of Nevada's land is owned by the government.


Really?  I wonder why that is.  I also would like to know what all land they own.


I'm betting they do a lot of military testing there. In France, a man impersonating a government official managed to sell the Eiffel Tower twice. Wonder how much he got for it?


I'd like to know too. He must have been a very good con artist. I mean, who would believe the Eiffel Tower was for sale to begin with?


I bet he didn't get close to $1Billion, which is what the Norwegian donated in 2008 to save the Amazon rainforest.


That is very impressive of them to do that!  All governments should do something to save the rainforest!  They should focus on saving them planet instead of themselves.  Wikileaks has actually published a plan of the government's to destroy wikileaks.


Hi! I didn't know that! That is amazing! i wonder what the Jupiter storms sound like.


Probably like Rush Limbaugh. Haha. In Canada, at least 40% of music played on the radio has to be Canadian. Lots of Justin Bieber, I'm guessing.


Did you know that there is a website that plays old radio dramas?  I imagine some of them are pretty good from back in the day!


That's really cook. In World War II soldiers made makeshift radios using razorblades and pencils. They called them Foxhole Radios.


People back then were so creative and inspiring!  I mean, I can't imagine being in a foxhole and coming up with a way to make a radio!


The human spirit endures, that's for sure. Speaking of radio dramas, there's a website where you can listen to thousands of classic radio dramas for free. I'll have to look up the URL later. Sounds interesting.


You know I've heard that a radio station in Finland broadcasts a news program in latin.  That must be very educational!


Also educational -- facts about politics! There hasn't been a president who wasn't Democrat or Republican since 1853. Maybe time to move past the two-party system?


I agree with that.  The major two parties have changed their platforms over the years and really become each other in a way.  The republicans used to be liberal and mostly in the north and the democrats in the south and now look.


I know! I can't even imagine. They would not get along at all!


But it would be so much more fun to watch! I heard that Trump doesn't even make the top 3 wealthiest presidents in US history. But that's hard for me to believe.


Yeah, I heard they were JFK, Washington, and Jefferson.


How could they have more money than Trump. I just can't believe that, with his gold sink fixtures! He should release a pop album, like the president of Indonesia did. To show off his fanciness!


Oh, that would be funny. So, did you know that there are three subway lines exclusively for congressmen to move between the Capitol and the House and the Senate Offices?


No, I didn't! I know that they have a "Candy Desk" and they have since 1968! Which is basically a desk closest to the door full of candy for them to all eat. Haha


Wow! That would really make the job a lot more enjoyable.


I wouldn't mind a candy desk, right now! In 1988, a US senator invoked a rule to allow the sergeant-at-arms to arrest absent senators and bring them to the chamber to vote!


Oh that's extreme! I wonder if the candy is any good they is kept in the "candy desk"?


They say it's made in Pennsylvania. And consists of milky ways, mars bars and jelly beans! Yum, i like jelly beans!


I do, as much as possible. What about you?


Well it sounds great to me! It was good chatting with you! Take care.


It was nice chatting with you as well! Have a great day and goodbye! :)


I do. I like all the quirky details. I find it clever that Michael Jordan would not endorse a black Democratic candidate NC with the reasoning that Republicans buy shoes too. Smart man.


Haha, he is a smart man! I'm shocked that women weren't allowed to wear pants on the senate floor until 1993! I wonder how they feel about just wearing shorts! haha


Wow! Talk about behind the times! I think it's funny that the Senate used the same gavel for 165 years until Nixon cracked it. Must have been an overall bad luck guy.


oh wow, i didn't know that! here's an interesting factoid. The president of zimbabwe was called president banana!


Oh my gosh, that is awful! Did you know that the US President's guest house is bigger than the White House?


What? Why on earth would they have built the guest house larger than the white house! That's nuts!


I know, that's what I said. Can you imagine that until 1805 in the US the runner up in a Presidential election automatically became the VP!


No, would that have made Hillary, Trumps VP?


Hello,  did you know the presidents guest house is bigger than the white house?


Ouch,  thats insulting lol I wonder why they have such a negative record.  Did you know Pixar has a secret room that is only for celebs?


I honestly don't but it's worth looking into! I do know the Penguins Of Madagascar actually had a running joke of hiding different celeb names in the dialogue. Ha!


Oh wow,  that seems like a fun game,  finding the celeb names lol I gotta see that movie again,  I hope its on Netflix!


Maybe so - or even on YouTube. Speaking of which, Jenna Marble makes over $300k per year from her channel. Looks like I need to make up some content to put on there.


She's what they call a "YouTube celebrity". But still that pales in comparison to what the Olsen Twins did by purchasing soul ownership of that entertainment company and turning it into a billion dollar enterprise back in 2004!


Oh I see.  I dont really keep up with those Youtube celebrities.  Thats interesting about the Olsen twins,  I guess that was a good decision because they are very wealthy!


So true! There's lots of money in the entertainment industry, isn't there? So much, even Blizzard Entertainment gives these amazing swords/shields out to its five and ten year employees!


Wow nice perk!  I can imagine they get a lot of cool stuff,  did you ever play any of their games?


I would like to for that reason and also work there. Ha! I also wouldn't mind working for the NFL. Did you know it's legally recognized as entertainment and not a sport? That surprised me!


Is it really? Wow! I didn't even know the president had a guest house. Ha! I do know Woodrow Wilson was the only president we've ever had with a PhD!


I use to play World of Warcraft for awhile really fun game by Blizzard.  I did not know that lol


Thats awesome! Oh and in terms of entertainment, Chuck E. Cheese actually stands for Charles Entertainment Cheese. Ha! That's a shocker! Well it was great chatting with you tonight. Take care!


Thats so interesting!  I hear that FDR was the last president to speak a foreign language fluently.


Isn't that u believable? Just like we've had five elected presidents who also lost the popular vote. One even lost by 10%!


Yeah thats pretty crazy.  The president of Indonesia sounds really fun,  he released 3 pop albums lol I wonder if he also toured during his presidency.


Ha! That is hilarious. Wonder if we'll ever have a musician serve as president? Maybe we can elect Justin Bieber one day. Ha! Speaking of Beiber, did you know a guy with the same name was banned from Facebook just for having the same name as Justin Bieber?


Wow no I never heard of that lol I hope he cleared that issue up.  That sounds annoying I wonder what other problems he has because of his name


That a good question! Since we're on the subject of celebs, on a more positive note, John Cena holds the record for the Make a Wish Foundation's wishes granted by a celeb with over 400!


Wow thats really amazing!  He is the wrestler/actor right?  I bet a lot of kids wished they could meet him!


Agreed. I bet they could. Plus that's a much better record to hold than Paris Hilton's 2007 Guinness Record for most overrated celebrity. Ha!


Emilia wrote the president criticizing his NCAA bracket picks!


Yes, they have so much space.Obama was the 44th president of the united states.


I guess so.  Did you know a man who was falsely imprisoned for 10 years spent most of his time in the library to study law.  He was able to prove his innocence!


Great use of time getting information from the library.


Yes, he later became a lawyer to help free other people who were falsely convicted.  What a way to find your life's calling!


There are more libraries than Mcdonalds in the US!


That's comforting!  I'd hate for it to be the other way around!  I wonder in order to publish a book in Norway if you must be a citizen?  If you publish a book there you're guaranteed 1000 sales to the government!


That's a great thing they do. The Sacramento library lets you check out sewing machines and other item.


That's a good idea.  I always feel weird checking out a DVD instead of a book, but I guess that's just the way things are now!  I'm sure William Gladstone would be upset, since he started a library to "bring together books who had no readers with readers who had no books".  Although I guess there's an argument for sewing machines for no users and users who have no sewing machines.


What an interesting idea for a library. Did you know Barack Obama was an attorney.


I did not, that's very interesting.  If, on google maps, you zoom into the white house you'll see Barack Obama!


That's too funny!!  I'm sure he got a good laugh about that!  Can you believe Fidel Castro wrote to our president asking for $10?!


I will have to try that. Also, Obama's secret service name was renegade.


Strange! But he had never seen American money before!


True, I wonder if he wrote to all countries asking for examples of their money or just ours?  Did you know the first president of Zimbabwe was called President Banana?


Funny! It's interesting that presidents do take time to read through many letters from it's citizens.


Yes, it's nice that they take the time to do that.  Well, them and their aids, who I'm sure do most of the reading.  Too bad the kids from New Jersey never got their Kids Day as a holiday!


Too bad for sure. The president of indonesia has released 3 pop albums while in office.


What?  I need to look that up!  Is it a male or female?  And how old??  Do you like how we vote for a VP now, or should it be like it was with the runner up in a presidential election automatically becoming the VP?


Yes, that would be interesting. The US president's guest house is larger than the white house.


That is interesting, I didn't realize the president even had a guest house!


Yeah... What's the best show you've been to?


I have been to some very interesting "underground" acts that combine poetry, dance, primal instincts as well as being erotic. Its fun how instinctively we can feel involved and feel the movement!


where are you from where you would have seen these?


The city... I have also seen many Cirque De Solei shows and those box office tickets start at 70$! They have a lot of pressure and they certainly do perform amazingly! It is dice to see new young artists exploring their talents though.. especially for 17$


NYC? That explains it... Im from chicago and even I sometimes question the culture of NYC...


Oh, I meant San Francisco! Haha, On the west coast that is our city! Las Vegas has been reviving the old downtown for years and they have founding, goals, lots of success. The "ghetto" is certainly being transformed into our own arts district so


How do you like SF? I would like to visit but haven't had a chance...


Every city has its own charm! SF is definitely a bit extreme.. but at least we don't have to deal with box office truamas like the movie trojan wars!  (LA?)


haha. Bill murray thinks kung fu hustle is "the supreme achievement of the modern age in terms of comedy".


Haha, and 3rd rock from the sun beat out seinfield friends and frasier... do you agree with that choice?


I am great! What did you think of the article?


I found it quite inspiring! Having more theater and art in a community opens up so many oppurtunities, both economically and socially


With over $8.5 billion worldwide film earnings, tom hanks is the highest all-time box office star.


Funny thing, I actually can't stand him! Which is another reason why diversity is so important! Plus, these festival shows are only 17$.... even I can afford that!


But can you afford the copious amounts of alcohol? I cannot so I stay away.


Well I would hope the performance wouldn't be so bad I would need them! But I also think there are some unfair stereotypes. That is one thing that is difficult with comedy though because what may be funny to one person is out of line to another!


Disney considered shutting down their animation studio after sleeping beauty was a box office failure.


Well, that is the great thing about local theater... you don't have such big budgets and therefore expectations! Solo shows are quite cheap and venues don't need to be remarkable! Obviously revenue is always important still!


I love drama, have you ever seen House MD?


I have I love Hugh Laurie I heard he made a lot of money on the show


Yes he made something like $700 000 per episode. that is insane


I love him and his comedies. Do you know why he does not do dramas anymore?


Yeah because they do not project positivity I guess


Yeah. Do you know how Michael Caine became an actor?


Yeah the guy just followed the pretty girls who all went to drama class


WHat a guy. Jon Hamm also taught drama in his former high school.


And one of his students was ELlie Kemper, she is so funny


I go as much as I can. Did you know linkin park played 324 of them in one year?


SHe is one of the funniest actors I know of


Yeah that is pretty amazing, their album was successful so they had to kind of


Yeah true. And the Ramones toured for 20 years nonstop


Yeah and they played in that time 2263 concerts


yeah a lot. In Croatia there is an ancient theater where bands can play too.


Yeah same in Italy where PInk Floyd once held a concert


Yeah without an audience. I wonder why they did that


Me too. A creed concerts was so bad that people sued them


That must have sucked for them. DO you like drama?


I was trying to figure out if I should watch some Family Guy or play the Playstation. Today is my day off work and I want to relax.


Right! I would not want to live somewhere that had such invasive laws. Stephen Fry did the narration for the Little Big PLanet, Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy. He also did the Harry Potter video games, another fun fact.


Well, talk about talent. Do you know how much we play video games as a planet in wekk?


No, how much do we play video games? I am not even able to guess.


Well a game designer calculated that is is 3 billion hours in a week


Oh geez, that is scary! Maybe South Korea is on to something,lol. I like those games that are interactive. I have tried the one called Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons. It was a neat experience if you like to really be engaged.


Nice, I do not think I have played that ones before. Did you know PS3's are being used to study black holes?


What , really! That super high tech and crazy! I didnt know that NASA would use something we all have at home.


Go figure, right? Did you ever watch That 70s SHow?


Oh yeah, I dont really know a lot about that show but I wanted to be a fan! I love the 70's vibe and the bell bottoms!


I guess in some countries it just does not work, maybe because they made it verbatim


Well video games can be a good way to relax. DO you know what they were originally called?


Oh, wow. The lingo was not meant to be translated and I can see how that could be really weird, not groovy man!


Yeah, different type of humor there. Nice chatting with you :)


Oh geez, thats a horrible name! What he heck.


Yeah I am glad they changed it to something that is shorter and makes much more sense


I know that the department of defense used 1760 playstations to build a supercomputer because it was the cheapest way to do it. Crazy fun fact!


Yeah that is something. Do you know who does the voice of Woody in the video games?


Oh my gosh I love that movie but I never knew that he brother did voices. That is funny! I can see how they would sound alike probably though. I learned that ts illegal for kids 16 years old and younger in South Korea to play video games past midnight. Thats a weird law.


It is a weird law and my question is, how to they enforce that to begin with


yeah GED. better late than never I guess


He didn't have to with how popular and rich he's become, but still a good think I suppose.  If you can spend obscene amounts of money on first edition children books, I guess you should at least know how to read!


exactly. did you know the beat in hotline bing is actually samoled from another song?


Unfortunately, I don't know either song to have an opinion on it and I'm OK with this!


I really enjoy watching Formula 1 and sometimes NASCAR, but I'm not that into normal cars per se.  I do appreciate them as a for of transportation but some people go way overboard on customizing them - like flame-throwers to prevent carjacking!


cool. do you know how the drive thru came by and why mc donald's put it in p;lace?


Something to do with soldiers who couldn't enter civilian buildings wearing their uniforms?   That's really supporting our troops!  Sometimes, I think it's faster to park and order takeout inside rather than waiting in the drive thru line.  I think they also invented "thru" as a word


Yeah that was the main reason, for sure. do you know why the trunk of the car is called that?


I know the English call it a boot, but didn't there actually be a luggage type trunk strapped to the back of automobiles?


Hello - my kids like Drake, I don't get the appeal, auto tune and everything.  How about you?


yes that was the reason, the name stuck then. it was nice chatting with you


I am not s huge fan either but he has become so popular, it is crazy


It's amazing how an ancillary think like the #In MyFeelingsChallenge can go viral and make the song/artist even more popular!


and also have some very dangerous consequences with that, that whole car dance


Right!?!? People getting run over and run away cars and emergency room visits - I'm so thankful my kids don't drive yet!


it is just so scary, I do not get the point of that. I am glad it is starting to fade away


Humans are very strange when you break it down and social media has exaggerated the behavior and put in on display for everyone to see and copy.  Song + Dance + Car + Instagram = Death.  You couldn't make this stuff up 20 years ago!


very true, and so unnecessary really. did you know he graduated high school age 25?


What?  You mean like his GED right - he wasn't still physically in high school at 25, was he?!?!?!


And amazon! It was started in 1994 as a book company and look how it has grown into furniture, jewelry, food, and toys!


Have you heard about the clock that the CEO of amazon created?


He built a clock into a mountain that should run for 10,000 years!


Jeff Bezos is an amazing guy. It was a good move by him to have amazon buy IMDB in 1998.


I agree! Did you hear the story about the first amazon customer?


I did! He got a building named after him! I wish I had beat him to the first customer spot for that honor!


That was a good investment! I wonder if it was delivered on a Sunday since Amazon has a deal with USPS to do Sunday deliveries.


I watch netflix every night. I don't even have cable anymore. 2007 was life changing when they started streaming.


I am not sure. I will go look into that. It was nice talking to you.


I agree. It is great. You must contribute to the 33% of all bandwidth in north america on netflix accounts at night.


I sure do! Netflix combined with youtube is half the internet use in North america. It is big business!


That is crazy that two services like that take up half!


I'm thankful for them. I hated getting stuck with all of those late fees back in the day of rentals. Reed hastings started netflix after getting a $40 late fee for Apollo 13.


I know. Late fees were the worst. That is funny that $40 has turned into this worldwide service now.


Blockbuster was stupid to pass on the deal to buy out netflix for $50 million.


Without the internet, none of it would even be possible. the network of networks are linked by electronic, wireless, and optical tech.


Good afternoon! How are you today? Thanks for chatting with me! Do you like to play video games?


Wow!! That is a long time; I did not know that! I go to games almost every weekend when they play locally where I live. I heard a man found three million dollar worth of old baseball cards in his grandfather's attic.


That would be nice.  My brother used to collect them I don't think he had million dollars worth.


I agree it would be nice to find such a grand amount.  I have caught a couple balls and have them signed by the players.


That would be cool. Did you now that baseball is really popular in Japan?


I did know that actually, America's past time!! I find the name soccer-baseball funny as in Canada that is what they call the game of kickball.


I played a lot of soccer baseball when I was a kid then. Lol. The Japanese are surprised about baseball being our national pastime.


Did you know that baseball managers also wear a uniform as they too are technically able to play for their teams if needed?


Id be interested to find out how many times that has happened. Im sure it happened a lot more in the early days of baseball.


I would have to agree with you on that; but I also think it happens more often that we just don't hear about it as much.


I dont know. I have never heard of it happening. I do know in the early days there wasnt as much money in it so I could see them just using one of the players as the coach.


I play a few games on my phone. Used to play video games a lot when I was a kid.


It has always made me wonder why when played do the players run counter clock wise versus clock wise during a game, do you have any ideas as to why?


Im not sure. I think Ill go look that up. It was nice chatting with you today.


I agree; I should do the same thing! And nice chatting with you.


I too play on my phone more now than I did when I was younger. I loved to play video games as a kid when time allowed that is; chores seem to take up much of my playing time. Did you know a game designer calculated that we as a whole play 3 billion hours of video games a week?


I believe it. I have a son and a few nephews that would play games 24 7 if they could.


I do as well, lol. I find it interesting a little factoid I heard that for kids age 16 and under it is illegal for them to play video games after midnight in South Korea.


Did you know that Tom Hanks brother Jim does the voice of Woody for video games and merchandise.


That is interesting; I did not know that! I find that to some video games are that of an art form but that in itself leads to a great controversy over what is art.


I see them as almost lifelike. I mean when I was a kid we had little blobs on the screen now a days people look like people in the games. It is amazing.


It has been a long time since I have went to one. Did you know that up until 2005 a married couple scheduled all 2430 MLB games. They did it for 24 years.


hey my friend did you ever see the movie Jaws?


ya he did, in like 5 different foreign languages too, that's impressive!


It is impressive he must be really smart, that's not an easy feat


no I agree, I would definitely have gone right for the professionals, I wouldn't have stayed in college haha


I do actually, didn't they negotiate the tron contract over pancakes? Pretty awesome!


Yeah, over a pancake breakbast, Tron Legacy was a great movie and the soundtrack was supreme


oh I agree, also crazy is the batman begins soundtrack names its tracks after different types of bats


Thats an interesting fact, I love Batman movies and havent noticed that detail, do you play video games?


I do, I played the NES up to the Nintendo Switch haha what about you?


Same bought the original system and also have a switch now, I'm a Nintendo fan.


I did, I thought it was scary back in the day, what are your thoughts on the movie?


ya I agree, its crazy though that we as a society play about 3 billion hours of videogames each week


That seems like a lot of time wasted, I wonder how Jane Mcgonigal did his calculations.


oh its scary and its a classic, and I guess the director played the clarinet in the soundtrack


Yeah I heard Spielberg played the clarinet, I must say he is pretty good, never imagined it was him


did you see the movie o brother where art thou? Directed by the coens?


No, I think I didnt watch that one, who is Coens?


theyre brothers that direct movies together, but anyway the soundtrack is good it was certified platinum 8 times


It was pretty good, scary as well, I think the soundtrack is one of the most important factors for the success of the movie


oh ya definitely, do you like Phil collins btw?


I do like him, he recorded the sountrack for Tarzan right?


Nice. Did you ever see the show House MD?


I have seen some episodes. ANd Jon taught Ellie Kemper too, small world


Wow cool. Laurie made $700 000 per episode in House MD


Wow that is a lot . Patrick Stewart is also a drama teacher in the UK


Yes I do as there is  free website with tons of them online


Nice. Do you know that soap operas got their name because they were sponsored by soap manufacturers?


WOw that is so cool and certainly very fitting for the name


Yeah. Did you know that astronauts have stronger internet up there?


Some of them. Did you know that Inception was supposed to be a horror movie?


Cool. Do you know which movies Stephen King think is the scariest?


I have no idea but the guy writes the genre so maybe something really scary


It is actually Bambi the cartoon with the deer in it


Wow did not expect that. ET was also supposed to be a scary movie originally


WOw cool. DO you know how they make the scary sounds in those movies?


I have no idea,is it not computer generated?


Actually it is an instrument called the waterphone. Do you like drama too?


I love drama. Did you know JOn Hamm was a high school drama teacher?


How's it going? Do you enjoy comedy films? Apparently comedy films have been around since silent films


Yea, almost everyday, I love watching South Park, better than watching dramas like House where Hugh Laurie is paid 700,000 per episode


ya I agree, I like comedy more, sad taht comedy central cancelled like 100 shows, they always seem to cancel the ones I like


Yea shows don't last too long usually. I remember Demetri Martin had a show on there,. It's crazy Demetri dropped out of Harvard law due to boredom


haha well I can imagine that would be boring, weird taht Patrick stewart teaches masters class acting, he must not be bored with it


Probably not. Michael Caine took acting classes in high school just to meet girls


haha can't blame him there, do you like Jon Hamm? he was also a drama coach for a high school


Yea he's good. I really like Bill Murray, he things Kung Fu Hustle is one of the best comedies ever made


yup, that is a great movie, have you ever watched the show Ikea Heights?


No, never heard of it. Do you know if it's any good?


well it is shot in an ikea store with no ones knowledge, so its either really awesome or it could be horrible haha


yes I do! I love Evan Almighty and apparently it was the highest cost comedy to make at over 200 million


I see. Will I got to go, have a nice day


Nice talking to you, and check out that Ikea show!


Yea, that movie had a lot of special effects. I really found pineapple express funny, I didn't know some call it a bromantic comedy


haha Ive never seen it, I do like monty python, I guess the programming language python was named after that grouop


Yea, that and spam. Did you know 3rd rock from the sun won a golden globe over Seinfield, friends, and Frasier? That must have been a really funny season to beat those shows


wow that is crazy because seinfeld is great, have you seen green lantern with Ryan Reynolds?


No I haven't, I heard a lot of people didn't think it was too good


ya it was horrible, but I guess originally it was going to star Jack Black, who knows that could have been better, not sure how it could be worse haha


Maybe they should of tried Jim Carrey, he stopped doing drama movies because they don't project positivity


ya that is werid but to each their own, do you ever watch Comedy Central?


Did you see Draymond Greens shirt after the NBA finals last year. He seems to like to ruffle feathers and talk smack.


I follow the Utah Jazz, they have some decent young guys up and coming but not enough fire power to crack the top 4 in the west. NBA has become a super team league.


Yeah I like the Jazz to make it to the 2nd round of the playoffs at least, they have some good young talent.


I think if the matchup is right they could get to the second round as well. They need some more players though. So Lebron probably wont win another MVP but possible harden or your guy on the bucks. Can't think of his name.


Yeah I think it is down to those 2 for sure.  Its Giannis, he has had an amazing year so far, our whole team has.


Yes Giannis thats it! He has a lot of good years ahead of him. It would be nice to see someone other then the Warrior win a title. Although I admire Curry's long ball, I remember watching Reggie Miller and thinking he could shoot, but Curry is so far ahead of anyone else.


Yeah Curry's shooting ability is just insane, I don't watch them too much but you have to appreciate the dominance.  But same here I hope it's two different teams in the finals.


Well I will route for Milwaukee and Utah to duke it out for 7 games. That would be fun to watch Gobert vs Giannis. Even though there are 30 NBA teams it some times feels like there is really only 5-6.


That would be awesome I can cheer for that.  And yeah I feel the same, look out for the 76er's though, next year they will be a powerhouse.


Yes they have some great young stars too. I think the East has finally caught up to the west. Boston could be scary good too if they start gelling as a team more. could be a really good playoffs this year.


Yeah Lebron leaves, and the east is strong again who would've thought.


Yeah I think I remember seeing that, he has been at the center of some questionable stuff recently.


Yeah he must be scared of the power in the east now. I need to go check out the standings on ESPN and see where teams are stacking up.


Yeah it should be fun to watch, anyways it was fun talking with you, I'll cheer on your Jazz out west to meet my Bucks here in the east.


I think he loves the attention he gets when he causes issues. He's a good player and has helped his team win 3 titles but also a headcase.


Yeah he is a good player all around and has helped them win the titles, but you are right.  They have a new player that is more of a headcase than him so maybe he will relax a bit.


Oh I didn't know there was a new headcase on the Warriors? Its hard to focus on those guys when they are stocked with Superstars.


Yeah it is, but now with Cousins on the team and back healthy, we'll see what happens.


Cousins seems to be adjusting quickly and getting back to form. It will be hard to knock them off in the playoffs. Even Lebron doesn't have enough help on the Lakers to do it.


Yeah I don't think Lebron has nearly enough fire power to beat them.  I think the Nuggets look like a tough matchup for them.


Nuggets have been really surprising but I don't know if I see them beating the Warriors in 7. Possibly Toronto or Milwaukee from the east could give them a run.


Yeah I am really hoping Milwaukee can reach the finals, they are my favorite team.  Do you follow any team?


Hello! Are you an active member of Facebook?


I love that! I wonder why they are choosing to do that marketing campaign?


I wonder that as well! So do you also use YouTube? It just so happens to be the second largest search engine on the internet, if you can believe that!


That is crazy. I can't believe that Justin Bieber's song baby is the most disliked video on youtube/


That and even crazier is PSY's Gangnam Style's video was viewed by so many, YouTube had to upgrade their view count integer to 64 bits! That is wild!


That was viral world wide I guess. I forgot about that dance.


True. If you also subscribe to Netflix, together Netflix along with YouTube accounts for half the peak internet traffic in north America. That is shocking!


I love netflix. I do not know why anyone wouldn't get it. It makes sense the traffic.


Agreed. And on a similar note, the police have their own version of YouTube called "Blutube" that consists of law enforcement videos they share. I guess it's like watching the show Cops anytime you want. Ha!


I wonder if its open to the public or only they can access it.


That's an interesting question. I'll have to find out! But I mainly like to watch rap videos on YouTube. In fact, the Koreans invented a new style of freestyle rap called "compliment battle". It's very fun to watch. Are you a fan of rap?


I am and I do enjoy it! Can you believe MySpace rejected an offer from Facebook for $75 million back in 2005? Oh what might have been!


I wonder if people still use MySpace! I wonder if the regret the rejected offer.


Agreed. Especially since the company was valued at $104 billion back in 2012 which was the largest valuation to date for a newly listed company!


Wow. I can't believe how much they are estimated! I wonder what Facebook is estimated worth.


That's a good question! But speaking of Facebook, did you know Zuckerberg has red-green color blindness which is why Facebook is mainly a blue color?


I did not know that. I like the blue look. It makes sense to avoid colors that he can not distringuish.


Agreed! I like it as well. But what I don't like is the Facebook like button is illegal in the German state Schleswig-Holstein. Can you imagine not having a "like" button?


I wonder if they have a different button? How do you let people know you like their post?!


Exactly. That's so puzzling! But what's funny is Burger King has a promotion going where you get a free Whopper if you unfriend 10 people on Facebook. I would totally do that. Ha!


Funny how Homer had 188 jobs in the first 400 episodes, not a guy I would trust with the safety of a nuclear power plant


Yeah lol did you know there is one episode that Bart is not seen or mentioned.


I didnt know that, he is like the star of the show, doesnt make sense to have Simpsons without Bart.


Game of thrones,  westworld,  handmaids tale,  homeland,  broklyn nine nine,  the flash,  supergirl,  walking dead,  santa clarita diet,  how I met your mother


Sounds like you follow a lot of tv shows lol, I like GOT and also The Flash, there are a lot of good series on TV now


Yeah I watch a lot of tv.  Im still catching up on the flash I think I am on season 4 right now.  Yes I agree too much good tv.  In between shows I like to watch discovery channel shows lol


Season 4 is one of the best ones, I like how Reverse flash is back on the show and Cicada is a formidable villain


I do, its actually one of my favorite sports, do you like it?


I dont follow it much,  but I do watch it sometimes.


Do you have a favorite team? mine is in the AFC division


The 49ers,  but they havent been good in awhile.


My favorite team is the Patriots and maybe this season the 49ers can make it to the Superbowl,


Yeah that would be cool lol George rr martin calls the Patriots the lannisters of football lol


Thats a funny reference lol but I guess it makes sense, they have dominated the league for a while now, great coach + great players + awesome QB


I do, I like to watch the Simpsons, what about you?


A brave new world indeed, I guess you like reading and Shakespeare ?


I like reading. I havent read much shakespeare. I have read a couple of books from the military reading list.


Any that you would recommend? I liked Ender's Game, thought it was a nice novel.


It was a good book. i read it long ago. i never saw the movie. Starship Troopers was fun too.


It was a fun movie, I liked it I wonder if the book was any good? usually books are better than movies.


I have to agree. FIlms are good, but the written word is superior for some stories. I think film should not try to imitate or supersede prose. it is different.


Yes, I like Tolkien. I read Lewis a long time ago.


Both are really write authors, they used to have a funny game together.


Oh, who laughs, loses? that sounds great! i would love to witness that! ANyway, great chat!


I find it fascinating. The universe is cosmic, man.


It does sound like a great game to play, it was fun chatting I agree hope we can do it again, have a nice day.


It is interesting, time, space, planets, galaxies theres just so much to explore


Yes, we know so little. I wonder about the theory of natural selection of universes. what about our current universe? are we good?


I think we have a strong universe, there is also a theory that the universe may be a giant superhologam.


I think that sounds odd. what does that make you and me? are we tiny holograms? Am i chatting with a hologram?


No, your not chatting with a hologram so dont worry lol, I wish we could travel to other planets and galaxies.


Yes, that will happen in our lifetime, but i dont know what will come of it. it will be possible to put a person on mars, but not for long.


Maybe one day the human kind can adapt and a civilization can be started at the planet, hope Im alive when that day comes.


Yes, we would need birth certificates and passports for new planets. A brave new world!


Did you know 86% of the land in nevada is owned by the us government?


Some people dress silly. In the United Kingdom, the word pants generally means underwear and not trousers.


Lol, that is funny. I heard awhile back that Aladdin's pants were modeled after MC Hammer.


Wow. They're making a live action Aladdin.


I saw that.   I also saw that people wear pants because of horses.


Really, that is cool.In Rome, the romans saw wearing pants as a sign of barbarism.


yes they can be. Also the color, style, etc depends on geographic area.


True. Just like clothes can be made from animals, but some animals wear clothes.


Dog and cats do sometimes.  Clothes are usually made from textiles, animal skin, or thin sheets.


No i didn't. THAT'S CRAZY.  i DID KNOW THAT THE NORWEGIAN  GOVERNMENT DONATED 1 billion to the amazon rainforest in 2008


Interesting.A man in france impersonated a government official, and managed to sell the eiffel tower not once, but twice


I hope he got in trouble.  Changing topics, dis you know Apple had a clothing line in the 80's.


No. Pilgrim clothing was full of color. they only wore black for special occasions.


I'm not a big fashion guy, but fashion experts can tell if your clothes are tailored by the collar.


Wow. Rip curl makes clothes in north korea yet the label says made in china


Sounds like false advertising to me.  Here is a funny fact.  in alabama, there is a store  that only sells clothes, cameras, etc found in unclaimed baggage at airports


That's sad for who lost them. A d.c. judge sued a small dry cleaning business for over $67 million for the loss of a pair of pants.


They must have been great pants.  I love that Collinsville, IL has a law that prohibits "saggy pants.". The whole US needs that, in my opinion.


do you like the band Kiss? I like them a lot, I guess they bought into an arena football team


ya that is shocking to me that they make that much, I do like how the supreme court has a basketball court on their top floor, I wonder if they ever settle cases over a game haha


That might explain some things about our government.  haha  Are you planning to watch the superbowl tonight?


I am actually, I'm going to a party later what about you? I can't believe ESPN won an emmy for making the yellow line that shows first downs, I'll def be seeing that tonight haha


I'm just staying home.  I don't have cable, so I ll probably try to catch the game online, or use someones log in to watch it.  My favorite part is always the commercials.  Thats crazy about the yellow line,  you never know whats going to win awards these days.


haha ya we don't have cable thats why I'm going to a friends haha, ya I hope its not a blowout like the game in 1916 that was 222-0 haha


That is a crazy score, I can't believe its possible time wise to even score that many points, that has to be a lot of turn overs from the losing team.  Unlike a former Patriots running back Benjarvus Green-Ellis who never fumbled in his NFL career


ya I would give the ball to that guy every time! One day I will go to an actual game in a stadium and I guess 14 of the 25 largest stadiums in the world belong to american football teams which is crazy


College football teams at that.  I don't remember ever being to a live NFL game, but ive been to several college games.


I wish Kiss would play at the halftime for the football team that they bought, because then I would absolutely go see that haha


I think most people would, it would be like going to a concert with a football game before and after it.


I do enjoy their music.  I think its cool that they offered a contract to Tim Tebow to play.


have you been to a kiss concert? I haven't yet but it is my goal before they stop touring


ya that is awesome, who is your favorite Kiss member


Ive always liked Gene Simmons the best, how about you?


oh ya me too, he's very business savy, and I like the books that he wrote too


I did't know he wrote books, I bet those would be an interesting ready.  I often like to read books by successful people to see their process and prospective.


ya he wrote books and I like the audiobook versions that he does because I like his voice, do you follow basketball at all?


I do like listening to audio books when the author narrates.  I don't follow too much basketball, but I do know that Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's use of the dunk got the shot banned from the sport in college for over a decade.


that is crazy because that's such an iconic move! I think it's funny that the inventor of basketball was the most losing coach at his university haha


I know, how can you be bad at coaching the game you literally made the rules up to?    I guess he wasn't one of the 39 out of 50  states where the highest paid state employee is a college basketball or football coach.


Good afternoon. You looking forward to the World Cup in Qatar in 2022?


Awesome! The woman's USA team is good too as they never placed below 3rd since 1991.


Wow! The Hungarian soccer team only lost once between 1950 - 1956 which was the world cup! Imagine that!


Very impressive indeed. The current champion is France though.


Yep, in the last world cup all of the teams that were predicted to win were knocked out early and it ended up being Croatia vs England.


For which match? I thought France won in the last world cup which was in Russia? That was their second title too.


Was it France? Oh sorry, my bad. I think I was looking at the wrong games. Did you know that soccer makes the most money out of any sport?


No problem! Yeah more than football, basketball, baseball, golf, tennis, and hockey combined!


And I thought that football earned a lot of money! Americans only called soccer soccer because it was a slang for the association football!


Oh interesting I always wondered about that. Soccer is played by 250 million players in over 200 countries!


Now that is a lot of people. A german soccer player donated his 300,000 euro victory cup bonus to pay for surgeries of 23 Brazilian children! Talk about generous!


I am, although I am kind of skeptical as the city which is set to host the world cup  has not come into existence yet. What about you?


Awesome guy.. Mesut Ozil is so thoughtful!


There is actually a variation of soccer where it is three teams face each other. Essentially an Free for all!


Oh wow cool. That would be fun to watch. well nice talking with you have a good one!


Yes my thoughts exactly. I also find it interesting the host city doesn't really make any money...


In fact, it may be similar to the olympics where host cities lose millions of dollars, such as Rio.


Yeah that was a mess with the whole water quality. Very dramatic. Soccer brings in a lot of money though!
