Do you know who Jeff Bezos is?

Ah yes, is that the Amazon guy?

I heard about his clock being built into the side of a mountain and I am quite jealous!

well 10,000 years is a long time.

How about having a building named after you for being the first customer!

That's pretty cool, too.

Was that around the time people were getting paid to advertise companies tattooed on their foreheads?

That was almost like a horror film when I heard about it.

Now that i'm not aware of, sounds horrific.

Did you now that Amazon owns IMBD since the late 90's?

That's a great website for finding a good movie to watch!

I love horror films and I think that's how I heard of the Hostel movies.

Have you ever seen them?

My wife an i braved the first one, not big on horror.

I heard that Bambi is considered stephen kings first horror film he watched.

I heard that and ironically, as a kid, I felt the same way.

I remember the Fox and the Hound was really sad for me, too.

I've seen all 3 of the Hostels.

The second one was the best.

Maybe I like horror because I'm thankful it's not happening to me right now.

Did you know what a waterphone does?

Not for sure but I guess working underwater?

Horror movies involving water are usually super scary, thinking about it.

The Descent is one with some water involved.

Hey thats good enough nice definition of a waterphone, it makes creepy metallic sounds, Did you know you can burn 180 calories watching horror?

lol.

That wasn't sarcastic, was it?

lol Are the calories burned while watching a horror movie having to do with you jumping out of your seat or is it actually just emotion/mental?

Good question i would think all of thee above.

Have you ever watched the movie the Shinning?

I love that movie!

Do you like it, too?

I looked up that waterphone for making scary horror movie sounds...I actually like those sounds.

Does that make me weird?

Not at all after all you like watching horror movies.

The kid from the shining never knew he was in a horror until he was much older.

I wonder what he did think, though, and didn't he have lines to memorize?

lol I bet a new startup business could be a spooky gym to scare you into getting into shape!

I wonder if there's a gym based horror film?

That would do it, to funny!

Different note did i tell you that tupac also dance ballet in high school?

Are you sure that wasn't in a horror film?

lol I did hear that and also that Bruce Lee and Patrick Swayze were also good dancers.

Walking is much easier for me than dance, though.

I should hope so buddy, lol.

I don't blame you though i got two left feet as well.

Tupac was in the production of the nutcracker he played the mouse king.

That sounds cute.

So does the part about the mouse king.

I wonder if you can see or buy footage of that on Amazon or eBay or something?

Might be able to find it on youtube.

You know that professional ballet dancers go through 4 pairs of pointe shoes a week.

They probably have Amazon Prime merchant accounts just to keep up in stock to have enough shoes for the month.

lol They are so graceful and dedicated dancers!

I did some ballet as a kid but liked horses more.


Do you like mayonnaise?

I do like it on certain sandwiches.

I guess it's binary in that people either like it or don't.

I do, Hellmanns is one of my favorie brands, I hear they want to make a mayo ice cream, crazy idea

I think I'll pass on that.

There is also a ghost pepper ice cream in Delaware.

Those flavors sound terrible and really unhealthy, Ice cream is unhealthy already as is

Yeah, It would be healthier for me since I wouldn't eat it.

I guess in the UK they really like mayo, more so than ketchup.

I heard there is also a ketchup flavored ice cream already, an Irish shop has it in tribute to Ed Sheeran

Yuk.

I think some culinary types have too much time on their hands like whoever invented edible birthday candles.

There are some weird inventions out there, there is also a breast milk ice cream, thats just disgusting

Eeeewwwwww.

Need subject change... Do you spend a lot of time on the internet?

I guess I would have to say "yes".

Yeah its been a disgusting topic, I do spend a lot of time in the internet yeah

Do you read the full term when you buy something on the internet.

I'm bad about not doing that.

I dont, they are too long and also really boring

Only 7% of people do so 93% of the people agree with us.

The other 7% must be law students.

Well youre probably going to say yes anyway so why the hustle

I don't understand.

Do you like to travel?

You might want to check out the 160mph Dutch train if you do.

Yeah I do like to travel and that sounds like a great invention, a real time saver and plus you can admire the landscape

Beats traveling on a horse-drawn carriage or a bike on Mackinac Island...

I hear Mackinac island is a great place, its actually located in the US sounds like a relaxing place

Never been...

I don't know Ed Sheeran but if he has a better vocal range than Freddie Mercury, I probably should.

Ed Sheeran seems like a great artist, great vocal range, Freddie had a more unique voice though

Miss Freddie...
Thanks for the great chat!


Hello there, your thoughts on Ed Sheeran?

I think he has a pretty good voice.

I know he is a singer/writer but I'm unfamiliar with his work.

I know he thinks Eminem is his biggest musical influence.

Well he is English and was born in Halifax.

Some suggest he has a better vocal range than Freddie Mercury of Queen.

I am not sure about that though.

Wow he sounds gifted to say the least.

He wrote and recorded the song in the Movie the Hobbit.

I hear in just one day!

True, I wonder if you could travel across the country of Japan in one day.

It costs 300 bucks in tolls though!

Yeah i think that's ridiculous!

So Edward attended the academy of contemporary music in Guildford.

Yeah, he actually wrote the song "Love Yourself", but decided it wouldn't fit his album so he sent it to Justin Bieber who rolled with it.

What a nice guy lol

Sounds like it.
Do you like to or have you traveled?

I have traveled a bit, though I have never been to Iceland.

Apparently people take planes between major towns there.

You?

A little not out of the country yet though.

You know who the first king to travel around the world was?

I have heard that it was King Kalakaua of Hawaii.

Must have been before Hawaii became part of the United States.

Thank goodness for the internet.

Right, lol!

Apparently Mackinac Island, MI banned motorized vehicles for 100 years.

Well that would not work in Holland.
They are making buses that go 160 mph!
That is crazy!

Wow not sure i would want to get on that.

It might as well be a train.

Well on another note, I am glad the internet exists.

They even have internet access at the top of Mount Everest.

Really that sounds cool, still not going up there though, the mountain win!

Are you apart of the 7% that reads the terms and condition from internet purchases?

No I rarely read them sadly, I probably should more often.

What about you?

No my friend we are both 93%'ers, lol!

You know they have copied the internet some how!

Yeah I heard there is a copy of the whole thing in Alexandria.

I wonder how many gigabytes it is and how often it is updated.

I would think it would have to be updated pretty frequently by the minute.

Wouldn't you?

It's all ways changing!

Agreed, thanks for the chat, have a good rest of the day!

You too, hope to chat again soon.

Those 3 lines on the menu app is called a hamburger button, lol!


Hey, do you know Ed Sheeran?

Hello, have you tried the mayonnaise ice cream?

No, sorry.

I don't.

No, I have not.

The ice cream shop that made it also made Monster Energy drink flavor and Strongbow cider flavor.

The Scots have been busy, lol.
I don't think I would try any of them.
Who is Ed Sheeran?

An English songwriter who was influenced by Eminem.

He lived an interesting life.

He gave one of his songs to Justin Bieber.

That is so cool.

Does he have a better vocal range, than Freddie Mercury?

Yeah!

In the past he slept outside buckingham palace.

That is rough!

He must be tough!

Despite his hardships, he still made his way into the music industry.

That's awful that so many are homeless at some point in their life.

Thankfully, a few do manage to break that cycle.

Oddly, the current library of Alexandria has a copy of the internet saved.

That is good that a copy of the internet is saved.

The internet can be useful for homeless people.

Where ever they may be, the internet is an endless resource for them.

I agree.

Plus, many places have outlets outdoors in public spaces.

Now, they need to work on the internet, as it's insane that the peak of Everest has it, and I can't get it in my barn.

It has made travel so much easier to.

There is a website where you can find people that will let you sleep on their couch as you travel.

The internet can be utilized to do amazing things by people with good will and creativity.

I think it's couchsurfing.com.

A few blogs I read talk about it from time to time, they even do it on Mackinac Island, though getting there is a challenge, as you can't drive on the island.

That is probably a good idea to ban motorized vehicles.

It would reduce carbon output dramatically.

Plus increase the amount of people getting daily exercise by walking!

Or, biking- as there are plenty of bikes around the island.

I think we need a commuter bus like the one the Dutch are building

Yeah, a commuter bus is a smart idea too, because more people would be packed into one vehicle.

Also, 160 mph is fast!

Iceland could sure benefit from one too, they don't even have a rail service.

Yeah.

I wonder if domestic flights merely to go between towns is a wasteful form of travel.

I think they are.

But, it's either fly or drive...and if you don't have a car.

Imagine driving in Japan.

All their highways are tolls.

Anyone who doesn't like tolls would be in a nightmare if they were driving in Japan!

That would be a nightmare.

I would prefer to go by boat, like the Hawaiian King who sailed around the world.

Yeah.
Well I appreciate talking to you.
Have a good day!

Have a lovely evening.

Thanks. Bye!


Do you read the terms of agreement when buy a product online?

No not really, I dont think anyone does, do you read them?

No i'm in the majority with you my friend, who has the time.

I agree those terms tend to be really long, I have better things to do, you know that in Finland everyone has the right for internet

I think they should.

Apparently the Dutch are creating a commuter bus that will travel at 160mph.

Wow that is really fast, I bet you can get to your destination in no time, do you like to travel?

I do who doesn't if you can afford it.

Yeah I get your point, well there is a website for low budget travelers, it great if you dont mind sleeping on a couch,

Speaking of traveling there is a 3 g tower at the top of Everest.

I wonder if the signal is strong on the top of the Everest, I guess ill have to climb it and find out lol, it would be nice to post a selfie from the top,

Yeah you would be envied.

Not sure how this is possible but i hear there is a copy of the internet in case this one burns down.

Yeah, I guess thats a great thing, world without internet would be boring and also there can be wars because of that.

Do you know what the three menu lines on a app and website are called?

No, what is the name of the three menu lines on an app?

It's called the Hamburger button, what a strange name.

The copy of the internet is in the Alexandria Library.

It is, makes me hungry, and its great to have a backup you never know when it can go down, I bet it must take a lot of space after all theres a ton of info on the internet

Yeah that's why i don't understand how they can do that.

It's constantly changing from second to second.

But hey i guess that's why i don't get paid the big bucks, haha!

I agree lol, seems like it requires a lot of hard work, you know there are more automated softwares on the net than humans

A.I.

is coming!!

Apparently the content clicking links on the web can cause sizable real addiction in the brain.

Really?

you can get addicted by doing that?

sounds insane lol but I guess there are weirder addictions out there,

That's true.
It was nice talking to you my friend.


Hello, do you like dogs?

I do like dogs.
I have two at home.
What about you?

I don't have any because the wife is allergic.

There are 12 different blood types for dogs.

That is neat.

I wonder if those blood types can help narrow down breed.

I've always wondered what our mutt is.

I've always wondered that too.

Istanbul has vending machines that release food and water for the cities stray dogs in exchange for plastic bottles.

Aww that is really sweet.

Not only does it help the dogs but it keeps recycling going too.

I agree!
Such a good idea.

Dogs are amazing creatures.

They pick up on such simple gestures like pointing and are able to figure out what we mean.

Yea that's pretty amazing.

Looks like elephants can also understand simple gestures.

You would think more animals would but I guess not.

I wonder if it has to do with how long they have been domesticated in different cultures.

Quite possibly.

Did you know Google prefers dogs over cats?

Really?

I would have thought cats.

I do know that dogs aren't actually colorblind.

I always used to think that growing up.

I didn't know that either.

It says they can't see as many colors as humans though.

I read somewhere that they see muted versions of what we do.

So instead of 8 shades of red they just see the one.

Haha yes.
Do you like superheroes?

i love superheroes.

I think they help people realize the best in themselves.

Especially ones like batman where he is just a guy.

There was a comic series about fixing the collateral damage caused by superheroes.

That would be a series that could go on forever.

Superheroes might save the day but for sure some buildings are getting destroyed.

Yes for sure.

There is a Garfield book series named Pet Force which featured Garfield as a superhero.

I love Pet Force.
Garfield as a superhero was hilarious.

I have never seen Pet Force before.
Sounds like a pretty cool series.

It was hilarious.

i always wished they would make it into a comic book so that I could read it with the kids to try and engage them in the love of reading.

It was great chatting with you!


Have you ever seen "The House With a Clock in its Walls'?

No but I definitely want to see it.
I know it stars Jack Black.

It's a little spooky, but its not scary.

It's a good kids movie.

Yes, seems like it's about a magical house.

The whole movie is pretty much about magic, and how to learn magic.

It seems the movie also have just a little bit of suspense!

It does, and an underlying message really.

It's making a statement about how not all kids learn the same way, and our current education system doesn't support that.

It's interesting that the movie touches upon the sameness that schools try to teach.

I know.
Kinda deep for a kids movie.

Fun!

Superheroes are also very popular right now in movies and tv shows.

They are.
My kids like to watch Paw Patrol.
It's a kid show about dog super heroes.

There are over 300 registered superheroes in the US!

Really?

I didn't know you could register as a super hero.

Yes very interesting.

Well, there is a superhero also called normalman.

He sounds like my kind of super hero.

Yes, I guess his superpower was that he had no powers!

I used to love reading comic books as a kid.

I guess that's why I read so much now as an adult.

Yes, I love reading.

The world record for speed reading is held by anne jones with a record of 4700 words per minute.

Wow, that's a lot of word!

I can't read that fast.

But, I have read all of the Lord of the Rings, by JRR Tolkein

Cool!

Those are big books.

Marvel creator stan lee wrote 15 dc comics.

Did he?
I thought he was the Marvel guy?

Yes, he re-imagined popular characters like batman and superman!


hello, how are you?

hey, i'm fine and you?

i am fine as well.
What is your thought on the articles?

i think the articles are way to abstract and you?

yes, especially the first one

yes the first article changed around way to much it didn't have a solid point of view

i agree.

well reading about the dogs was quite interesting.

I certainly didnt know that There are 12 different blood types that a dog may have, and dogs can donate blood at dog blood drives

yes dogs also can learn thousands of words and human actions the article about the dogs was fun to read

Istanbul has a vending machine that releases food and water for the city's stray dogs in exchange for recycled plastic bottles.

Quite fascinating !

some dogs in moscow have learned to use the subway that's amazing

I didn't know that.
cool

my favorite article has to be about the superhero

what did you like most about it?

all the information it had about comic books and characters

it says There are over 300 registered superheroes in the united states.

wonder how people get on that list

it also said there are 30 superhero movies set to be released between 2016 and 2020 i cant wait to see the next superhero coming out this year it should be interesting

definitely will.
would be looking forward to it

article 3 was interesting to read what do you think?

yes, i believe so too.

Reading is so important in our daily lives

it said that louis braille the inventor of the reading and writing system for the blind came up with this idea when he was only 15

i read that too.
that's insane.

Young george r. r. martin began writing by selling monster stories for pennies to other neighborhood children that is so enlightening

yep it truly is .
it was nice chatting with you

it was nice chatting with you to have a nice day

same to you

ok


I did not know that the gray wolf, now extinct, was vastly different than modern wolves.

That information was new to me too.

I wasn't aware that the elephant and dog are the only animals that understand pointing.

Right?

I wasn't surprised how attuned dogs are to humans.

I've had numerous dogs and loved how loyal they are.

Me too.

I did have a therapy dog once.

We would visit the children's hospital and nursing homes.

Old people's faces would light up when we were there

That's interesting!
How long did you do that?

5 years.

Then my dog got too old to walk that much.

I have a cat now.

Haha.

I've never had a cat.

I did have an awesome parakeet for about 15 years.

He was a great talker, even fooling a vet once when I had to board the bird.

Baxter spoke as the vet passed him by, startling him a great deal.

The vet is amazed to this day how well my bird could speak.

My vet has a parrot named Mario who is too mean to live with anyone.

He can sound like the phone and talk just like the receptionist.

It was really funny

I bet!

I've not been into superheroes for quite a while.

Batman was probably my favorite.

Were you ever into superheroes?

I think that Stan Lee recently died.

Wasn't he the Marvel comic creator?

I wasn't into superheroes a lot.

I do like the movies they have made out of comic book superheroes.

Stan lee did die.

I'm going to miss seeing him in the movies.

Oh, my first superhero love was Superman, though.

I loved Clark and Lois.

The newer Superman movies were pretty good, too.

I used to wonder about all the collateral damage many superheroes caused as they were saving the world.

Lol

They were kind of messy lol.

I'm suprised there are only 300 registered superheros in the US.

Wonder where they'll send the unregistered ones.

If you were a superhero what would be your super power?

Mine would be flying.

I would choose strength (seeing through walls, etc.

would be awesome, too).

Have you ever heard of "normalman"?

That might be an interesting read.

No I haven't.

It might be funny.

Reminds me of a movie I've watched where a man and a woman from earth wind up on a planet where everyone is really stupid.

It was funny

A friend and I were talking about stupid today.

I remember the saying, "you can't fix stupid".

Do you like to read?

My favorite reads are mystery and suspense.

Occasionally, I pick up a non-fiction if it has received good reviews.

I think reading improves everyone's vocabulary.

I love to read.

I like historical stories and some fantasy and science fiction.

I've ner thought how complex reading is.

I just thought it was something you did and enjoyed.

Yes.

I enjoy creating my own images based on what I read.

That's one reason I am sometimes hesitant to see movies based on books I've read.

Did you know a good reader averages about 350 words or so a minute?

I did not know that.

I'm not a very fast reader.

I like going to book reading classes at the library.

People can interpret what they read in so many different ways.

Like the Bible for example.

Isn't that the truth!

It's funny that novels were once a huge moral concern in the 18th century when they became so popular.

The church didn't want the peasants to read because then they could read the scriptures for themselves.

That was before the 18th century.

And it wasn't lady like to know how to read.

I'm glad I don't live back then

... and decide themselves how to interpret scripture!

I have a neighbor who is mostly illiterate.

I can't imagine not being able to read.

I believe we learn so much as we read without even being aware of it.

I feel sorry for your neighbor.

I think some alphabets are very beautiful, like Arabic.

Ours is kind of clunky.

English is one of the hardest languages to learn.

I play Wordscapes and as I play, I'm reminded how the rules of our language, not to mention spellings, make the language so challenging.

I would rather speak spanish.
It has better rules.


Do you use the internet a lot?

I don't think there is anyone in a first-world country that doesn't.

Even the library of Alexandria has a saved copy of it.

I guess thats a great thing in the event the internet goes down, there can be wars if that happens, we rely on the internet so much that is a possibility

I guess.

I would have loved to have been at the concert when U2 opened for themselves, and played country music.

Are you a fan of country music?

Not really.

I like music though, and play guitar.

That's why it's hard for me to believe that the Fender Stratocaster was originally intended for country music.

That is a great guitar seems like it would go to waste for country music, that guitat has a lot of potential

It sure does.

Surprisingly, there are only 2 African Americans in the country music hall of fame, and there are a lot that play.

Only two of them, wow, I guess there are more running backs and wide receivers then

I guess.

Did you know that IMDB is owned by Amazon?

I didnt know that I love to shop at Amazon, do you ?

Absolutely.

I have a package coming tomorrow, good thing the USPS has that contract with Amazon.

It is a good thing did you hear about that clock that Bezos had built into a mountain?

I did not.

Is there a reason why, or is it another publicity stunt, like naming a buiding after the first customer?

Might be, and that customer sure got a great deal spending $28 dollars and then also getting your name on a building

Sure did.

I wonder if he gives George Strait a discount, since they are cousins?

George Strait as in the legend of country George Strait?

Yep, that George Strait.

Thats so cool, that family sure has a talentd bunch in it and Im guessing he does get discounts at the site

I took a tour of an Amazon warehouse near me, and learned that their employees walk between 7 and 15 miles per shift.

That is mind blowing.

Thats a big distance, workers must end really tired at the end of the day!


Hey how are you doing, ever use the internet for stuff besides turkin it?

Oh yeah.

I look up stuff all the time like what is that 3 horizontal line icon called.

It's called a "hamburger".

Makes me hungry now.

Me too, I never knew the internet was a contraction of interconnected network, makes sense.

I just learned that recently too.

Did you know that there is a 3G cell service on the top of Mt.

Everest?

I did not know, closer to the satelites right?

haha

Or to order a pizza delivered after the climb?

Do you read the full terms when you buy something off of internet?

Only 7% do...

I never have, that's a surprisingly high number, I wonder who is all reading them?

Do you?

I wouldn't know.

I don't either.

I just keep making Bezos rich, unquestioned.

Wow, I didn't know IMDB was owned my Amazon.

Bezos is so rich he built a clock on a mountain that will run for 10,000 years, I wonder how accurate it will be then with the shifting daylight hours.

That's pretty crazy about IMDB.

I know.

Trustbusters to the rescue!

His poor workers walk 7-15 miles each day on one shift.

Trust busters as in the anti-monopoly people?

I would not mind seeing them around now a days.

Yeah, they've been lazy lately.

Funny, the 1st Amazon customer got a building named after him!

I would rather have money...

Me too, but getting a building named after you for $27.95 is a pretty good deal too.

I feel bad for those warehouse workers though, 7-15 miles a day and crappy pay and no insurance until recently.

Even the USPS makes deals with him to deliver on Sunday!

They would snub little ol' me for sure.

For sure, Ali Baba Group isn't too far behind them, ever order from them?

No but I've seen their stuff (I think).
Do you like country music?
I can take it in small doses.

Not really a huge fan of it to be honest.

Never knew George Strait and Bezos are cousins though, that's crazy.

I do like him.

I thought it was hilarious that Henry Ford helped bolster country music because he thought it was decadent.

Something tells me he wouldn't be a fan of rap.

Haha, he would not have been.

U2 was a huge country music fan too, they used to open for themselves playing country music.

I didn't know that.

I also didn't know the Fender Stratocaster (Strat) was intended for country music.

It's a rock icon now...

That is pretty crazy, I wonder what that would have sounded like in the 1970s with country music haha.

Maybe that's where rock really got it's kick?

Thanks for the great chat!

Great chatting with you too, have a great rest of the night!


How's it going, are you one of the people who is addicted to the internet?

I am one that says I know when to stop (but can't), so maybe?

haha how about you?

It's hard not to be considered you have to utilize the internets for private, public, academic, business, and government uses

I agree!

I'm always on it for work and personal matters!

Can you believe there is 3g cell service at the top of mount everest?

No, it's sad Mt.

Everest has 3g and I can't get a connection in my basement

You and me both!

Are you one of the 7 percent that reads the full terms when buying a product?

Nope, I only read the full terms if it's not more than one page long

haha nobody has time for the 20 page long ones!

Are you a member of Amazon Prime?

Yea, I'm always buying electronics and apparel on amazon

It is so reliable and fast!

I love it!

I wish I was the first person to buy something on it though!

All you would have to spend was $27.95 and amazon would name a building after you

I would be living the high life!

I'd be like "yea that's my building" haha.

Can you believe how many miles amazon warehouse workers walk every shift?

No, I don't think I even walk 7 miles a week, I can't imagine doing an amazon shift of walking 15 miles

I'm sure they are in good shape, but who knows!

They could be eating twinkies while walking!

I didn't know Amazon owned IMDB as well!

Pretty smart buy, I know the movies on IMDB link to amazon if you want to buy them

I didn't know that!
That's cool.
Do you like to listen to country music?

Only when I've had a few drinks, kinda strange the Country hall of fame only has inducted 2 african americans

That is, but I'm glad more and more African Americans are getting into that genre to hopefully boost that stat up!

Yea, it's unfortunate Henry Ford financed country music due to his fear of jazz

That man was something else though haha.

I like how the fender stratocaster was intended for country music.

Anyways, great chatting with you!

You too, have a good one


Hi, how are you today ?
Staying warm ?

Trying just watching some netflix.. Kyle Kinane is hilarious.. One of my favorite comedies.

He is funny i know !
lol

He has a special on Netflix and kind of drives into political issue.

He also does stand up in a Washington DC club.

I know , i love Netflix and watch it all the time :) .

Do you also watch Paradise PD ??

So bad ... but funny as heck !

I've seen it once.
Doesn't he voice a police dog?

I think he does , you are on the ball !!

I am glad Reed Hasting had all those late fees foe renting Apollo 13 and thought up the concept for Netflix !

Netflix has become huge in the last couple of years.

I bet cable won't have a chance in a decade.

Kyle made a comment that I couldn't agree more with, we live in an age where everyone wants to be outraged.

I know , I hate commercials and I love great content .

Netflix does both so well .

I read that Netflix pulls the most bandwidth in the country from 9pm to 12am and I believe it :) .

sure because people don't want to watch the news and how messed up the world has become.

I enjoy comedy films because the main emphasis is humour and I need a good laugh.

True story lol .

I love bromantic comedies , some of my favs lol .

So funny .

And comedies usually have a happy ending.

We need more happy endings.

Yes we all do :) .

I bet blockbuster is is kicking itself for not buying Netflix for 50 million when they could .... its worth 2 BILLION now !

The value goes up every year..

I'm waiting for Hulu to rise up and be a real competitor for Netflix.

There are others out there , but to me Netflix is still #1 .

I always have it , the others i bounce around on .

Plus, they have great specials and original shows.

They give actors and comedians another platform to showcase their skills.

I know , i just wish they didnt do away with their rating system !!!!!

That is the one thing I dont like .

I used it a lot .

I heard it had something to do with Amy Shumer ?

I dont know, all i know is it sucks.

Amy has many specials on Netflix right?

Maybe she got mad because she wasn't getting good ratings..

I don't like her comedy much anyways.

Yes she does , I heard that had something to do with it .

It could all be rumors idk .

But ...

I love a lot of specials .

But not hers .

To each their own :) .

Agreed.

I am waiting on Chapelle to do another set of specials.

Ellen is going to on there in the next couple of months.

I love both of them !

That would be awesome .

I also love Jeff Dunham , or should i say all his dummies .

Just easy , corny laughs lol .

Did you know Ryan Stiles dropped out of high school?

Pretty impressive resume to drop out of school.

That is , and no i didnt know .

Did you know Netflix and Youtube make up half the peak internet traffic in North America .

That is what i watch the most too .

That's nuts...

Going back to Kyle voicing the dog..

Interesting fact, there are 12 different blood types that a dog might have...

I didnt know that .

I do know dogs are not color blind , they just dont see as many colors as we do .

That explains why my dog is always eating things that aren't food.


Do you like comedy?

I do like comedy, have you heard of Kile Kinane?

he is a pretty decent comedian.

I haven't actually.

I like Gabriel Iglesias.

I love how Kinane said that comedians are comedias because they are not good at other things.

He seems pretty humble.

He does seem humble and he might be right lol, I dont know who Gabriel Iglesias is although I might google him later.

Kinane's tickets seem affordable so I would see him if he came to town.

Yeah it might be worth it, its only $25 and I bet you will laugh, I know I will go when he comes to town.

Do you like animated comedy?
Have you watched Paradise PD?

No, I havent watched it, whats it about?

Apparently it is about a drug sniffing and drug addicted dog.

I have not watched it either.

Some people are offended at it because it is so crude.

That seems a bit strong speacially when kids might watch it, I wonder how comedians come up with all those funny lines.

Yeah, if you're not easily offended it might cause belly laughs though.

I might have to check it out.

I love comedy films as well, you know Demetri Martin left Harvard out of boredom.

I did not know that.

Glad it worked out for him but I would not recommend it to everybody.

Ryan Stiles also dropped out of high school to pursue a career in comedy.

Yeah and also for Ryan Stiles, I bet his mom was really angry when he shared the news he was quitting high school to be a comedian.

Right.

Did you ever watch 3rd rock fromthe sun, seinfeld, friends or frasier?

I warched Friends and Seinfield, why do you ask?

I also watched Friends and Seinfeld.

I rarely watched 3rd Rock from the sun, but apparently it beat out all other comedies in 1997 for the Golden Globe Best Comedy Series.

I see, so anyway do you have a dog?

No, I do not.
How about you?

I do have a dog and apparently dogs have 12 different bllod types.

Interesting.

Dogs also vary so much in shape, size and colors.


Hello, are you a fan of fiction novels?

Yes, I do.

I like stories that are based on imagination.

I like it because of how different characters can be.

I like to look at a wiki that ranks fictional characters by their various powers.

Apparently, Julius Caesar wrote fan fiction of Hercules.

Wow that's interesting, guess he wasn't too different than us.

I know Edgar Allen Poe had the first known example of robot fiction!

Apparently, in 1950's a judge was trying to ban a science fiction comic.

Do you know why?

I believe it was because it featured a black character!

Crazy the bigotry that can overrule things, I know George RR Martin doesn't like fan fiction, I wonder why.

You are correct.
It was a long time ago (1950's).
Things were very different then.
I wonder if the judge is still alive.

I wonder if he had an opinion on poetry as well, I think it's fascinating the way features like repetition, verse form and rhyme can form something so beautiful.

He probably had an opinion.

Poetry is very different from more objective and informative forms of writing.

Yeah and poetry can be very innovative now.

For example, I read a poem once that when read forwards is very depressing, but reading it backwards is much more inspiring!

That's interesting.

Do you know the title?

If not, I can research the internet.

I do not like to be depressed.

So, if I find the poem, I will for sure read it backwards.

I don't remember!

What I like to read for relaxation though is a poem by Demetri Martin, it's 224 words long and yet a palindrome, I can't imagine the work that goes into that!

It took Demetri Martin hours or even days to write that poem, I think.

Apparently, Edgar Allan Poe only received $9 for publication of his well known poem, the raven.

That's truly shocking!

Imagine how much that would be worth today.

On the other hand sometimes poetry is truly natural, like the Japanese alphabet forms a poem just when read in order.

I heard about that.

Would you like to discuss about a different topic, such as the history of telephone, etc.

Sure!

I think telephones are fascinating, a trick someone showed me the other day is it's impossible to separate two phonebooks that have their pages overlapped!

I wish I could do that trick.

Apparently, New York's area code (212) was the fastest number to dial on a rotary phone.

I believe that's only because the numbers 2 and 1 are so close and it was a fast number to dial!

It's funny to think where inspiration comes from.

Also, do you know that the cables carrying phone and internet data across ocean just lay on the ocean floor?

That's interesting!

I wonder if they're safe there, after all they only run 2.7 inches in diameter, I'd imagine a fish could easily snap it!

It was what I thought.

Nothing has happened though, otherwise we would have heard about it.

I'm sure one day technology will improve so much we won't even need cables to carry data.

Anyways it was nice chatting with you, have a good night!

Nice chatting with you too.
Good night.

Good night!


Denis Johnson died, but he sure left a legacy behind, its sad but thats go life goes sometimes

That's so correct.
Were you a fan?

Not really a fan but I did read some of his books like Jesus' Son, what about you?

I've never heard of him.

On a lighter note, did you know the inventor of the dial telephone was an undertaker who was convinced telephone operators were rerouting his calls to rival businesses?

I didnt, theres an interesting fact about phones though, do know why New York has the 212 area code?

I'm not sure, why does it have that area code?

It has that area code because back in the days rotary phones were used 212 was the fastest number to dial, so I guess its out of convinience, always seemed a bit random to me

That's cool.

Do you know that dolphins will communicate with one another over a telephone and appear to know who they are talking to?

Isn't that just craziest thing?

It is crazy!

dolphins are really smart the can really play a good one on you lol

On a different note, I read somewher that the 30s actress Hedy Lamarr helped invent the cellphone, wi-fi, and GPS.

Talk about smart and beautiful.

She was the total package.

It does seem that way, not only great looks but a great brain, there is a interesting campaign Unicef is doing, for every minute we dont use our cellphones a kid gets clean water

That's a good campaign, I don't know how many children will be getting clean water, though.

Hardly anybody I see sets their cellphone down even if they have bad reception.

Which I hear cell phone connection quality and those little bars of service, really have no correlation, whatsoever.

Yeah, so changing the subject a bit do you like poetry?

I like some poetry.

The Vikings considered Poetry a gift from Odin himself.

I guess they really appriciated poetry, thats great as many people dont now a days,

I read somewhere that CS Lewis and Tolkien held" you laugh you lose" competitions when reading terrible poetry.

Thats funny, I wonder who is the champion among them, Edgar Allan Poe was a great author do you know about his poems?

I know some like, The Raven and Annabelle Lee.

Did you realize that Poetry was once an Olympic sport?

I didnt!
when did it got abolished?

Not sure, but it should be reinstated, along with Art and Music.

I agree, if chess is a sport then art and music should be considred as events.


Hi how's it going!

What kind of music do you like?

I remember when I used to buy cd's, and it's still hard to believe that vinyl's are still being used today!

Hey, I'm good, thanks.

How is your day?

Yes, I'm also old enough to remember CD lol

Those were the days!

Albums are timeless.

Even being 40 years old, the dark side of the moon was one of the best selling albums of 2014!

True.

It's always interesting to see such changes.

Audio cassette was popular format until 2000s, then CD...

I'm wondering what could be next?

let's say in 10-15 years.

Probably, we have no idea right now...

Good question.

I have no idea.

I think things like apple music and spotify are the most popular now.

I was disappointed to hear about Linkin Park's main singer's death.

They had the best selling album of the 21st century!

It was very very sad for me too.

Btw, I've read about rap album released by twins in Japan when they turned 100 years old.

It's nice!

Wow that is so cool to not only live that long but to release a rap album!

Speaking of rap, NWA was pretty popular and controversial.

They reached platinum status without a major record label.

Cool.

Don't you mind to change topic?

I've read that 86% of Nevada's land is owned by US government.

It's quite surprising.

I know there are a lot military facilities.

It could be a reason.

What do you think?

Yes that is very surprising.

They have a lot of control of that state.

They must do military activities there or something like that.

It looks like you very busy person lol Takes a lot of time to reply lol Do you know any other states with such % of land controlled by US government?

I don't know any other state that they control land.

Maybe Puerto Rico or Guantanamo Bay?

I think the government should do more for the environment like the Norwegian government who donated 1 billion to the amazon rainforest.

I was very impressed by this.

It's very nice step.

And Norway isn't big country.

If you count 1 billion per capita of Norway's population, it will be huge money!

Yeah it shows they really care which is great.

They are very smart to do so.

Meanwhile our government is just trying to keep it from being shutdown!

Yes, the United States has huge debt.

To spend 1 billion for the amazon rainforest could not good idea under such debt lol

Yeah I don't think they could justify doing that.

I just saw a video of this Hawaiian man and he was wearing a Hawaiian shirt which is considered business attire in Hawaii, must be nice!

I didn't know that.
I want to live in Hawaii.
In fact I've never been there.
Have you?

Hawaii is beautiful I have been there 3 times you should definitely go!

Definitely get a Hawaiian shirt!

In China the gangs used to layer as many shirts as possible and pop the collars.

It's interesting!

I didn't know that polo shirts were originally invented for tennis, but it makes sense.

Yeah, kind of like a classy sort of club sport.

I wonder why they aren't called tennis shirts then since polo players adopted them later.

Yes, it could be good idea.

Music and clothing all kind of go together as it's all related to culture.

Now that we have more of a global culture it will be exciting to see how it changes.

It was nice to talk with you.
Have a good day!

You too have a great one!

Thanks


hi, do you like music?

hi, yes I do, what about you?

I love that Led zeppelin made an album with no title just to mess with the rock press

that is too funny.
I like Linkin park a lot

I heard they sold a lot of albums, do you like Bob Marley at all?

Yeah they have the best selling album of the 21st century.

Yeah I like him

ya he's cool, and also has been on the top album chart for over 914 weeks!

right now its at rank 69

Wow.
Do you know reel big fish?
have you heard of them?

I have heard of them, cant say I'm a fan though what about you?

no I am not either but they apparently rerecorded their hits after losing rights to the label

ah that is a good idea, do you like aerosmith?

I guess they made more money from Guitar Hero than from any album they've done

That is crazy , I lke them yes.
Do you know NWA?

I've heard of them, are they any good what is a good song I should check out?

Not sure of their songs but their album reached platinum without the support or airplay or major tour

wow that is impressive, do you follow politics at all?

I guess China literallyl cencored the word censorship

I cannot believe that really.

Better do things like what the Norvergian government is doing

what are they doing?

I know that Monaco got rid of the income tax, they make enough from gammbling apparently

good for them.

they donated 1 billion to save the amazon rainforest

ah that is good, did you know that the USA publishes the names of people that renounces their USA citizenship?

I did not know that, strange though.

do you have a favorite piece of clothing?

well I have things I like to wear, I do wear shirts though what about you?

I

Yes me too, they are so comfortable.
nice chatting with you


What do you think about Golf?

It is odd that it is not played on a standard playing field.

It also uses various clubs to hit the balls that is odd too.

Yep.

The hole is bigger compared to the ball than a basketball goal compared to the rim.

The hole is 4.25 inches in diameter.

yeah and each hole on a course is unique with the layout and arrangement.

I live in Phoenix.

A course closed here because its water bill is over $500,000 per year.

They use a lot of water.

That is a lot of water.What course is it

It is called Club West.

I live in South Carolina I don't think there are many around where i live though.

I think you have quite a few nearer to your coast.

Your state gets a lot more rain, so the 312,000 gallons needed per day are more available.

Yes, that is true

Did you know that Benz invented the first car as early as 1886?

yes, and cars became widely avaliable in the early 20th centry and the first car was a 1908 Model T

The mass production by Ford was a game changer.

Everyone's standard of living improved a lot.

yes it did but it took longer to be accepted in western Europe and other parts around the world.

I think it was easier to build wider roads in America.

The buildings in cities in Europe were close to the road.

True and in America they are taking away more trees and building more buildings.

How about it being legal in South Africa to have a flame thrower to resist carjackers?

Wow!

That is crazy!

I have been to South Africa.

Good neighborhoods have walls with constatino wire.

Sorry I can't spell it.

That's ok.

I have never been, but i have heard stories about missionaries who go there.

Well what strikes you about scientists?

It's interesting, but I like how Harrison Schmitt was the first sciencetist to walk on the moon.

Yes.

I read last week that a basketball player did not even think that we went to the moon.

It was Steph Curry.

I have heard people say that they don't think anyone has been to the moon either.

I read about an Afgan soldier, when told that we went to the moon, held his finger and thumb an inch apart and said you did not go to the moon, it is only this big.

Oh wow.

I believe that someone has been to the moon.

I always wanted to go when i was little but i don't think i would want to now.

Especially with the moon movies of people getting lost in space that is a little scary.

Ha ha!

I think it would be much safer now.

How about learning that a Swiss scientist invented the world wide web.

I knew it was not Al Gore.

That is pretty cool and the scientist was English and working in Switzerland.

You are right.
I misread it.
www sure changed everyone's life.

It did.

I think the www is probably used more now then it ever was especially with all the new technology and it takes a lot of people's time which is sad to me.

No doubt it changes our socialization.

However, it sure is convenient to answer questions when they occur.

That is true.

and it's funny because i'll be talking and i'll be like wait i can google it!

Ha ha!

bye


have u heard of the  Anaheim Ducks ?

I have.

Always reminds me of the Mighty Ducks Movie everytime I hear them.

lol

Yea I grew up loving them, I heard they have been around for about 25 years or so

Yea it doesn't seem that long.

Its pretty cool that they pulled out their old uniforms from 1993, huh?

bet you are a big fan of the NBA :)

I wouldn't say a huge fan, but sure I enjoy watching on tv.

Did you know the raptors got their name from the popularity of the movie Jurassic Park?

I didn't know that.

I like to learn new fun facts.

I didn't know that wow we learn everyday

It's always good to learn new things, like that apparantly Disney bought the Anaheim Angels in 1997 and decided periwinkle was a pleasant color for a baseball team.

what do you think about that?

I find it super hilarious, you know there are some funny names in the NHL, Greg Fisher, Docile Coyote..makes me think they changed their names to get popular with supporters

That's a good theory and probably true.

Many sports names are Animal names, and its pretty awesome to know there are about 20 quintillion individual animals on earth.

that's alot.

yea I bet everything gives itself a balance in the "multiverse" maybe in a different part of the multiverse I would be called mr. froggy

Haha, that's a good one.

How about the two high school students that rode their horses to school on 'no vehicles to school day', unfortunately got suspended, but ha that's a good one.

:) Don't you think it's high time someone question some theories scientist give to us to digest?

How can they say Animals develop white patches on their foreheads when they are domesticated.

I have 2 pet rabbits and a dog, I don't see any white patches on their head

hmmm.

interesting.

I know animals do evolve to their environment over time, but i don't know about white patches on their heads.

wonder what the reason for that is.

lets give a high five and a cheer to germany for becoming  the first country in the world to universally give animals constitutionally-guaranteed legal rights

Awesome for them!

I think the 1912 scottish protection of animals act, that the lochness monster is a protected species is pretty awesome.

I wish lochness monster wasn't a myth maybe I would have bought you a beer ;)

Well I do like beer.

Haha.

It's only 4:44 am here and I have learned so many new things today.

Air jordans banned from the nba but jordan wearing them anyway and nike just paying the fine each game.

There sure is alot of money in sports.

I totally agree with you but also I believe the game have really helped the growth of companies like Adidas

it sure has.

well merry christmas.

time to open presents,  have a good one.

Cheers Buddy

you too


Hi, how are you?

I'm doing well, thanks.

Have you ever been to Washington?

They have cool attractions like the East Potomac Miniature Golf

I have never been.

I really want to go when my kids are old enough to understand the significance of it.

Yea I know what you mean.

East Potomac Miniature Golf is one of the oldest running mini-golf courses so I'm sure it will still be around to take your kids when they get older

I hope so.

I really want to take them to the national mall and library to make sure they understand what it all is.

Have you ever been there?

No I haven't but if I'm in the area I will.

There's a lot of interesting places like the Martin Luther King Jr time capsule, I'd like to see that as well

How surprising will the time capsule be in 2088?

I mean, you can probably look up what's in there, right?

I hope so, I'll be 100 when they open the Martin Luther King Jr time capsule so I'll probably have to look it up unless I'm lucky lol

Here's to hoping!

I'll be 110!

Let me know what's in it when I see you in the afterlife...

Yea I'll try to find you, I'll also check for people who died at the Bladensburg Dueling Grounds too

There were 50 duels there!?!?!
Seems like the spot to duel at!

Lol, yep settling disputes over something as trivial as the speed of a steamboat

Steamboat Willy?
Sorry, Disney reference.

Lol, I wonder if anyone got into a duel at Bladensburg Dueling Grounds after a dispute in mini-golf

THAT'S A 2 STROKE PENALTY!

Then it just ends up with someone dead or shot... People are weird.

Short of my immediate family, I cannot imagine wanting to duel over anything...

Lol, a lot of people do take golf too seriously, Samuel L. Jackson has it in his film contracts to play golf twice a week

Wow.
Do you play golf?

No, I've played mini-golf a few times, I don't think I could finish 18 holes of golf in a single day

HAHAHA.

That's funny.

I tried playing but I am terrible.

Plus I would drink too much and be worthless the rest of the day.

My wife was not happy with me so I quit.

Lol.

I play video games sometimes in my free time.

Apparently Jann Mardenborough became a pro race car driver by beating 90,000 people in the gran turismo game

That's crazy.
Do you play that game?

I played it a couple times years ago, I guess I should of played Gran Turismo longer and I could of went pro lol

HA!
Nice chatting with you.


Hello.
how are you

Hello, I'm great thank you.
Do you like animals?

Yes, I love Animals.

Me too.

Did you know there are over 20 quintillion animals on the planet?

No.
I didnt.
That is really something.

I agree.

Animals develop white patches on their foreheads when they are domesticated.

That is interesting.
I wonder why that is?

Not too sure.

I saw Germany gives animals constitutional rights.

Yes.
I had heard that too.
I think that is a good thing.

I think so too.

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

Yes.
The history of animals is interesting.

Very much.
Do you like horses?

Yes.
Very much.
They are beautiful animals.

I agree.

Icelandic horses have a fifth speed that is basically speedwalking for a horse.

I guess that is slower than a trot.

Clint Eastwood developed an allergy to horses.

That's ironic.
Maybe because he rode them so much?

That could be the case.
He did do a lot of western movies.

For sure.

Dalmations are associated firefighters because they would calm and protect the horses.

I always wondered why they were a firehouse dog.

I always wondered that too.
Do you like the NBA?

Yes.
I am a Knick fan.

Very cool.
Well, it was good talking to you.
Have a good day!


Do you like golf?

Not really because they waste too much water for the courses

Yes that is true.

In the us that averages to 312 000 gallons per day for one

Yes and in Dubai there is one that uses 4 million gallons a day

WOw what a waste.
Babe Ruth was good at golf too

Yeah and he was the most famous one once in the US

Yes.

Samuel Jackson always includes two weeks of gold on his movie contracts

Hhaa smart guy.

Golf course in the US if put together take as much land as Rhode Island and Delaware together

WOw that is a lot of land.

SO they take too much space and use to much water

DO you like cars?

I love cars.

Do you know how the drive thru came about?

Yes that was McDonald's accommodating soldier in fatigue who were not allowed to leave their cars

Yes and that dates back only to 1975 so pretty recent

Yeah it is.

DO you know why the trunk of the car is called that?

Yes it is because the old cars used to have wooden trunks so the name stuck around

Yes.
Do you know how Cadillac got its name?

Yes it was named after the founder of Detroit, de la Mothe Cadillac

Yeah.

In South Africa you can hook up flame throwers to your car to protect it

Wow.

Did you know the emperor of Japan is a scientist?

Yes and he is still publishing papers on journals, pretty cool

I know right, keeping active where he is good at


Hi, how are you?

Hello there, I am well thank you.
Do you watch much television?

I do watch too much tv!
Do you watch it?

Yeah I am a fan for sure, but miss old shows that used to be on.

What is your favorite show ever?

Favorite show ever????
I think I would go with the Simpsons.
You?

That is awesome, that is probably my favorite ever as well.

Except, only until the 12th season or so, then it just wasn't the same for me.

I couldn't watch until the 12th season.

My parents were not fans and they didn't allow me to watch it.

Once I got older, I caught up though.

What's your favorite genre?

Yeah that is understandable, I had older siblings so I got exposed at a much younger age.

I would say comedy for sure.

Seinfeld, King of the Hill, Always Sunny are some of my other favorites.

How about you?

I like Always sunny.
The first 2 seasons were brilliant.
Love them.
I watch a lot of live sports.
It's a little bit of an obsession.
Also can be a pain...

Yeah those first seasons were the best by far.

I am the same, I mostly watch sports live or I use my DVR because I work nights.

My fav baseball team was one game away from the series, and my fav basketball team is the best in the league right now.

Who's your favorite teams?

I am a Milwaukee fan, so the Brewers and the Bucks, how about you, do you follow any teams?

All chicago teams and the University of Illinois.

This basketball season has be rough for us!

I am not sure what they are doing but they are no longer a good organization.

You guys got it going now!

Yeah the Bulls need a few years to rebuild, I was disappointed to see Jabari not do as well as hoped, but yeah the Bucks have a really good team right now.

Jabari came from MIL, didn't he?

Yeah he did, he is from Chicago, so him going back to the bulls was supposed to be his homecoming.

I tore my ACL this past summer, so I feel for him coming back from 2 of them!

Yeah.
We just are not a good org.
First him and then D-wade.
Why can't we keep stars happy?

I think they have had a problem with keeping stars the last few years.

I think they get a good draft pick this year, and then give them a few seasons to get back.

Are you excited for baseball season?

Yeah I am for sure, are you a Cubs or a Sox fan?

Cubs!
Nice chatting with you!


Do you watch alot of television?

I was just reading an article that said that when south park aired its final episode the producers received flowers from the simpsons crew

Yes i watch.
I bet Bart was in the final episode too

Did you know that there is only one episode of "The Simpsons"  where Bart neither appears nor is even mentioned?

yeah that was cool.

have you read or heard The little women story

I have seen a movie on it.
I did see that it is 150 years old

yes it has been 150 years, I love that book.

I will have to read it sometime.

Did you read any of the Harry Potter books by J. K. Rowling

yes had read all 7 books.

had a 3 day marathon to complete 7th book in my college .

so much crazy back then

wow thats crazy.

J. K. Rowling is the first billionaire to fall off the Forbes list because of charitable giving

yes that was some great moral responsibility.

But i would have been happy if they had Robin williams in the movie .

not that i disliked the actor who did get cast as hagrid

Yeah Robin Williams is great.

I guess they wanted to keep it authentic with only British or Irish people

JK Rowling has rights to ask universal studio to change anything in the harry potter area as per agreement .

it would be fun to drive them nuts

Lol, yes that is great that she can do that.

I know that she would really want to make sure it is authentic to the book and that they didn't change anything

She even had written few books under pseudonym Robert Galbraith

Yes I saw that.

She actually was asked to use just her initials when she wrote the books b/c the publishers were afraid boys wouldnt want to read a book written by a woman

Little women was inspired by these kind of situations way back then in 1960

yes that's true.

J. K. Rowling must have been close with her father b/c she gave him the first edition of "Harry Potter and The Goblet of fire

sad that he sold it .
but for a huge lump

Yes I saw that he sold it for 27,500 euros.

I wonder how much US dollars that is

Do you have a favorite sister in The little women ?

I like Jo she is brave and ambitious and most female writers can see her as an inspiration

Well I think they are all great in their own way.

It was really great talking to you about this stuff.


Hi, do you use the word tele or telly instead of television?

I tend to use the abbreviation T.V.

and just say the letters.

I think it is more of a regional thing though.

Yes, I agree, have you ever watched a black and white T.V?

Yes actually I had one for years in college.

What about you?

Yes, my family and I have a black and white T.V.

for yes.

Are you a pokemon fan?

I try to play the game, but I never really understand it.

I would love to learn to play pokemon.

I can't get into the game but my kids love the show.

I can't believe it has been on for 16 years!

WOW, that true, I didn't know there were over 750 episodes of pokemon.

That is so many!

I'm surprised that J.K. Rowling hasn't turned harry potter into some kind of tv show too.

Yes, the book has sold over 500 million copies Including awards.

I find her dedication to charitable giving something to aspire to.

yes I agree, did you like the book?
If yes, how many books you read?

I'm not a big fan.
It really isn't my genre.
I can see why it is so popular though.
It creates a fascinating world.

This is no joke, I felt the same way, I try to get into the book, because it was popular.

There are a lot of popular authors that I just don't get though like John Green.

His books have good messages but are very depressing.

I am not familiar with the author John Green, but heard of him.

He seems to be quite the accomplished guy.

I wonder why he has chose to write such heart wrentching material.

He only received $ 8000 advance for his first book if I am right.

Yeah that isn't a  lot of money for an advance.

I am curious about his youtube channel.

It sounds rather educational.

I didn't know he had a youtube channel, I watched youtube a lot.

I guess he has a lot of history stuff on there.

I wonder if it child appropriate.

It was nice talking with you.

You as well.

Ok thanks and goodbye.

Bye.

Bye

have a nice day


Hi, how are you?

I'm doing good.
Have you seen the film Thor?
It's pretty good.

I haven't seen Thor.
I'm not into superhero films very much.

It's pretty good, I recommend the first one, although the follow up is not very good.

What about the Ant Man movie?

Ant Man made his marvel debut before Spider-man, Hulk, Thor and Ironman.

I haven't seen it.
Who are the actors in it?

I can't remember.

A couple of faces that I recognize but I don't remember their names.

Interesting, it sounds like it didn't do very well if Antman was in fact around before SpiderMan, Hulk, Thor and Iron Man.

When not watching movies, do you spend much time on the Internet?

Yeah, I think a lot of people do.

Actually, I watch most of my movie via the internet.

It's important to be conscious of Internet usage.

Constant novelty from clicking links on the internet can cause real addiction measurable in the brain

Interesting, yet not surprising, I've also read somewhere that only 7% of people read the full terms when buying a product or service on the internet.

That number sounds high to me!

I figure hardly anyone these days reads the ToS.

They just assume it's all good.

I don't think I actually have ever read ToS agreements.

They seem so boring to me.

I wonder if the Internet at the top of Everest has a ToS.

Probably not much time to read it up there.

I doubt it.

Apparently there is a saved copy in case the internet ever burns down.

Crazy isn't it?

That sounds kind of bogus to me.

The Internet is too huge to be backed up like that.

I do know that  the library at Alexandria burned down centuries ago.

Yeah, there is the wayback machine, but I don't think that even is able to copy every single webpage.

The web is just too dynamic.
Well, I enjoyed chatting with you!

Yeah, way too dynamic.

Have a good day!

You too.

Bye


did you use nintendo?

Did you noticed that nintendo system could display only 54 colors?

No I wasn't really into Nintendo.

I am more the music, film, dance type person.

It was discontinued in sept 2003 thought.

Yeah I didn't realize that.
I wonder why in Japan.
Is that where it was created?

yes, it was.
What do you know about Bill nye?

Just that he knows a lot about science ..lol!

Crazy he got his break in entertainment winning a Steve Martin lookalike contest.

I kind of heard the same thing.

on the other hand, Ronald Reagan was once rejected for a movie someone didn´t think  he had the presidential look.

Wow, little did they know, huh?
That's democracy for ya!

well.

talking about something else.

I read something interested the other day about Nevada and the US.

Accordint to what I read US own most of Nevada.

That is nuts!

Did you hear about the guy in France who impersonated a government official and sold the eiffel tower two times?

really

Yes, guess he wasn't punished enough the first time.

:) So would you ever want to visit another planet like Mars?

sure.

I heard they are planning in  creating a colonization project for 2023

Yeah that sounds interesting especially the reality tv show side of it.

Did you hear about the satellite that was lost in mars?

Yeah that was not good and all because they were using different systems.

Yikes.

People gotta get on the same page.

hahahha.

Well, I heard that flying to mars will only take 2 or 3 days.

don´t know how though.

Probably because of the constant 1g acceleration force.

That is really, really, really fast.

oh yeah.
I does make sense.

I don't know if I would like it there though.

Sounds have a higher pitch than they do here on earth.

I hate loud noises or sounds!

I have to go now.
see you next time.


how are you?

do you have any interest in Space?

I find Mars pretty cool, it was named after the Roman god of war

Hi, how are you?

Mars is interesting.

Sounds have a higher pitch there than on Earth because of the atmosphere.

Yea it has a very thin atmosphere, makes sense

The sunsets on Mars are blue.

I wonder who wants to be part of the Mars colonization project in 2023.

Well I know lichens and cyanobacteria would thrive on mars so I'm sure they'd like to go

Maybe they should go first.

We need to work out kinks in the system.

Lockheed Martin was still using feet and miles and caused a satellite to crash.

Lol, that's  bad Locheed Martin was using the imperial system while Nasa used the metric

What scientists use the imperial system?

Strange.

NASA is American and they use metric.

I really don't even see how the satalite was even able to launch if Lokheed was using the imperial system

Probably NASA handled the launch, while Lockheed handled the satellite release at Mars.

I didn't know that Mars is the second smallest in the solar system.

I wonder if it's a comfortable place to live.

Probably not with all the iron oxide that gives it it's reddish apperance

There is a thin atmosphere, so it's got that going for it.

I would only take 2 to 3 days to get to Mars at 1g acceleration.

I wonder whether we'll have the technology soon

I don't know, i guess the US government hasn't come close yet at least according to wikileaks, all they published were the US governement's plan to destroy wikileaks

Wikileaks really is a thorn in the side of the US gov't.

The US gov't owns 86% of the land in Nevada.

I wonder how much it's worth.

I don't know, maybe the man who sold a government official and sold the Eiffel tower twice should try selling it

He should be a politician.

Or he could try being an actor, he could audition as the president, he'd probably do better than Reagan did in his audition as president

LOL!

I wonder what was behind the US legislation protecting gov't employees for violating the Geneva conventions.

Sounds fishy.

I guess the US doesn't want it's military under the jurisdiction of the UN or geneva conventions

I guess the gov't was planning for atrocities or something.

I like that Norway's gov't donated to help save the Amazon.

Yea but I hope more countries contribute too, Norway's $1bn doesn't seem like enough

It isn't.

Plus Norway has a ton of money from petroleum.

And guess what environmental problems oil causes?

Norway acknowledges its responsibility.

Yea, I guess so.

Well I have to go, nice talking with you


I thought it was very interesting that a married couple created the baseball schedule for 24 years

I don't know much about baseball.

Can you tell me more about that?

You mena they created the game schedule?

Of course!

So nowadays the league creates the schedule based off travel and events.

But back then it was just two random people

That's pretty crazy.

I have never much been into baseball, but I do know it is an american game with a long history.

Yeah.

I grew up around the game.

It is kind of crazy how baseball has helped the USA get through its roughest times

Really?

The most I probably know about that is from the movie, A league of their own, which I think is partially based on fact.

Yep that is a true story actually for the most part.

Baseball was huge for WWII they actually stopped the men's league because a lot of the players went to serve overseas.

Imagine a celebrity doing that nowadays

That is hard to imagine.

I can respect the players despite not watching the game.

It takes a lot of skill to play.

Agreed!

Which of the other topics would you like to discuss

Well, I am really into movies, especially Marvel movies.

I grew up on comic books so they resonate with me.

I know they are not for everyone though

I have kind of avoided the superhero movies recently because I feel like the market is getting flooded with them

That I will agree with, but I like some of the original ones in the beginning before is was so big.

I think the stories were fairly well done and they stayed true to the characters.

Agreed!

I do think they came out with too many Spiderman and Batman movies though.

Starting to feel the same with Captain America

Honestly, one of my favorite moview was Thor.

I thought the cast was excellent.

It is so hard to imagine any other actor in those roles now since they are recognized as that comic book character.

I actually never saw Thor but I know it had great reviews.

I have gotten too caught up in binge watching shows that I forget about movies alot

It is hard to keep up with everything.

I think the best part of Thor was the villian, Loki.

He is one of the best villians out there because he isn't really 'bad'.

Plus Tom Hiddleston was perfect for the role.

He is a good actor!

I saw that some people want him to be the next James Bond

Really, I hadn't heard that.

Did you know he tested for the role of Thor?

That is so hard to imagine because he was so good in his role as Loki.

Dang that is crazy that tested for both ends of the spectrum in a move

I would like to see him in more interesting roles.

He probably would make a good James Bond

Agreed!

I am a big fan of Daniel Craig as Bond currently


Hi are you a baseball fan?

Not really but i appreciate the sport.
How about you?

I actually played up through high school and still follow it.

Did you know that baseball is also popular in Japan and they are suprised when they find out it's America's national pastime?

Wow they must really love it to make that kind of claim.

You know why the managers wear uniforms like the players do?

Yes.

lol  I'm not sure.

Why do they wear them?

I think it's the only sport where the managers do wear uniforms.

Apparently it's because they can actually play in the game if need be.

Don't know why they would ever need to but that's kind of cool.

I would like to see one of the 80 year old, out of shape managers get to go to the plate and get a hit.

That would be great!

Right, lol!

You know in Canada they call kickball soccer-baseball.

I wonder why they call it that?

lol  I would have liked to have been the guy who found 3 million dollars worth of baseball cards in his grandfathers attic.

I know why can't stuff like that happen to me, lol!

Hey do you know what the hamburger button is?

Hmmm...I don't know what that is.

It's what they call those 3 horizontal lines on the app menu and websites.

Don't know why they thought that was a good name.

Hahha I never knew that.

I do know that when buying something online only 7 percent of people read the full terms of service.

Well you can include me in the 93% majority, lol.

How about you?

I'm guilty as well.

Most of the stuff I buy is little things anyhow.

There is 3G cell service and internet at the peak of Mt.

Everest now.

Maybe that's so people who make the climb can let people know as soon as they've reached the peak!

Yeah that sounds like a good reason.

They say that constant clicking links on the internet cause real addictions measurable in the brain.

I think I may have had that addiction at one time before I cut back my time on the net.

lol

Me too.
Do you like Thor from marvel?

I do like Thor!

I think that's one of my favorite Marvel characters.

I know he's hilarious!

Have you seen the Antman he made his debut just before spiderman, hulk and ironman.

I loved the Antman!
I haven't seen the 2nd one yet.
I thought Antman was pretty funny!
I have fun chatting with you!

You to!

Marvel has done something that has never been done before i can't wait to see Captain Marvel and the next avengers.

That one should be a good one!
I have to get going.
Have a good day!


What types of entertainment do you enjoy?

Hi all kinds.

I still play my NES.

The system only displays 54 colors but games like Mario 3 never get old.

Wasn't that discontinued in 2003?

I'm surprised you still have a working console

Yes, I was shocked it was that recent but that was only in Japan.

My console is from maybe 1991 got it as a kid but still love it.

Even still blow on the old cartridges.

Actually did you know blowing the the cartridges makes them deteriorate faster due to moisture?

It is actually much better to use those air dusters

Now I do, but in the 90's everyone said that was how you got them to work.

Speaking of old technology, I was really sad to see yesterday that NASA has ended Opportunity's mission on Mars.

They weren't wrong since that it seemed to make them work.

Really?

That is a shame.

Mars has always been of particular interest to people, hence the imagination of martians

Yes, it's so like our planet, yet so different.

Even the name Mars, named after the god of war is interesting.

Did you know lichens and cyanobacteria could thrive on mars?

I wonder what would happen if we move them there

They would thrive I guess?

It would be very interesting but we probably won't see that happen in our lifetime.

The reason is nasa or another space agency would introduce any foreign life to mars as it could have an effect on any native bacteria should there be any.

Great lengths are taken to sterilize spacecraft before they reach mars.

Well a mars colonization project underway for 2023 is planned to be funded as a reality tv show.

I think they just announced their bankruptcy the other day.

MarsOne I believe they are or were called.

Part of the problem is it's just so far.

If you could fly there under constant 1g acceleration it would only take a couple of days but that technology is a long ways away.

Well that and having a reality tv show doesn't seem a smart idea for a place of life and death where precision matters

I think the reality tv part was just to help fund it.

However it obviously wasn't enough.

I love looking at mars through a telescope although it's only close enough to observe up close every 26 months.

You can actually see the polar ice caps which are made of water!

It is a planet that sometimes seems so close, yet so far.

Even a small mistake can cost billions.

Did you know a discrepancy of the imperial system and the metric system lost a satellite?

Yes!

Locheed Martin assumed nasa would use the imperial system but unlike the rest of the US they follow the rest of the world and use metric.

Most missions to mars actually fail.

It's not easy getting there.

Communication sure is key.

It helps that a day on mars is almost the same as here on earth.

Mars sure is similar to Earth, but its differences in atmosphere make sound a tad bit higher there than on the earth

Yeah it's paper thin at less than 1% of Earths.

That's what makes landing the larger sized rovers so hard.

The 7 minutes of hell is because they come down so fast with nothing to slow them down.

I guess global warming would be even more of a problem there?

Not when there is no people...

True, but having a thin atmosphere sure will cause problems when people try to live on mars

Yes.

There will be all kinds of issues.

Even little things like getting used to the fact sounds have a higher pitch.

Indeed.

In any case, thank you for the interesting chat.

I now have some thinking about mars to do after this chat.


What entertainment do you enjoy?

I enjoy many kinds.
Now I generally enjoy music and movies.
In the past I played video games.
You?

I like watching videos of deep space exploration like about mars

I have not seen videos like that.
Is that on PBS?
Discovery channel?

Sometimes youtube, sometimes amazon prime.

It really depends

I guess YouTube is the nexus for a lot of video entertainment now.

Though of course, many people like to play games.

Are there any Mars exploration games?

There are some.

I like how large a role mars plays in our history

It is prominent in the sky, so I imagine that ancient peoples attributed a lot to its passage through the heavens.

I mean people considered it to represent the roman god of war

That makes sense.
The red coloring looks ominous.
Plus the Romans liked war.

The red color is due to the prevalence of iron oxide

I did not know that.

I guess colonists on Mars will have lots of iron available for building things.

Plus their voices will sound higher if they can speak without a helmet.

The atmosphere changes the pitch.

I wonder what kind of life would form if we brought lichens and cyanobacteria to mars

Probably just more of the same in the short term.

Over the course of millions of years, perhaps something would form, but it would be unlike our planet.

I would not want to colonize the place.

Did you know people tried to plan the colonization of mars, funding it by creating a reality tv show?

That sounds prohibitively expensive.

I wonder who could fund that?

I would take years to go to Mars.

I guess they could do a simulation on Earth.

I would rather that the government funded them than a reality tv show

Yes, I agree.

Still, there are a lot of kinks to be worked out.

A satellite was lost on mars because Locheed Martin used the imperial system while NASA used the metric system.

Pretty stupid.

I still don't know why the us is so stubborn with their own measurement system?

In any case, thanks for chatting

I guess people don't see the value in shifting systems.

It would be good to have both together.

Then people could get the info they need.

Thanks for the chat.

I agree.
Thanks for chatting.


I'm laughing at the idea of trying to take that recording off the Internet.

Just guarantees that a hundred times as many people will listen to it who wouldn't have ever known about it otherwise.

You familiar with the Streisand Effect?

I certainly have.

Alyssa Milano's mother tried to get rid of her nude shots and they were from major movies!

MLB is fighting a losing battle.

I love it.

Especially when it's corporations trying to suppress negative information.

Yes.

And in this case the umpire behaved pretty well.

Management discovering that I'd saved and printed off a lot of their emails at an old job is probably what kept them from blacklisting me at the next one.

Wow!

That is a story in itself.

I tried to teach my kids to never write anything that they would not want everyone to read.

Easier said than done.

Yeah, especially when a lot of HR departments are finally getting clued in enough to do web searches on job candidates.

Right.

Have you heard of the Infinity Goblet in the Thor comics and film?

I'm not familiar with that franchise at all, but I should watch the movie to see if I like it.

What's the Infinity Goblet?

It is an important artifact.

In the comics, it is a left handed goblet and so ardent fans called the one in the movie a "fake" since it was right handed.

Wow -- fan policing is really over-the-top sometimes.

I said goblet, it is really a gauntlet.

I guess I don't know much about it either.

Marvel is a pretty good movie franchise now.

Ant Man made his movie debut before Iron Man.

I should watch more superhero movies.

I watched the first two installments of the Frank Miller-based Batman movies a long time ago.

Wait -- watched the first Spider-man also.

I read Batman comics as a kid and did not like the dark brooding personality that he was given in films.

One actor trying out to play Thor went on a strict diet and gained 50 pounds of muscle.

He got the part of Loki.

That sounds... likely LOL.

My first exposure to Batman was the campy TV series, but I was too young to understand that it was tongue-in-cheek.

That was a unique interpretation of Batman!

I imagine one could find some episodes on the internet which is a global system of interconnected computer networks (of course)

Yeah, I occasionally stream old TV shows on YouTube or Amazon.

That symbol of three horizontal lines in the upper right hand corner of my Chrome browser is called a hamburger button.

The internet gives us a whole new language.

I like the way old obsolete names and symbols are recycled -- like the "download" symbol is a floppy disc.

That is true.

Dial me up sometime.

How is punching buttons dialing?

They say that the brain responds with addiction with the constant novelty of clicking links on the internet.

Dopamine does weird things.
Nice chatting!


hello, lets talk about cars.

The used to carry real trunks on the back of cars, that is why we call the back of the car that to this day

Car is automobile wheel to carry human in safe and comfortable way.

Its been a long time now that we have had cars, the year 1886 is considered the birth year of the modern car.

In 1886 car was discovered but in the 20th century only cars are available for human uses.

It is used military for travelling purpose.

The cane Cadillac comes from the french explorer who founded Detroit.

The cars are propelled by internal combustion engine using fossil fuels which cause air pollution and global warming and affect the environment.

Sorry typo in the last message, cane should be name.

In south Africa you are able to have flame-throwers on your car to help prevent carjackings

With the help of modern technology, today we are using electric cars which don't cause any pollution and harm to the environment.

Some countries trying this but the cost is very high.

There is a person named Jann mardenborough who become a race car driver by beating a lot of people on the game gran turismo.

In US only there are people have cars in large numbers compared to other part of the world.

The reason why Mcdonalds added drive-thru was to allow soldiers to stay in their cars because they can not get out while in fatigues.

All the planet in the solar system revolves around the  sun.

Lets talk about the plants more.

The planet Venus has no seasons because it does not tilt.

Venus is also called morning star because we can see it before the sun rise.

it is also special compared to other planets because it is the only one that rotates clock-wise

All the planet rotates around the Sun.

Sun is the source of light and heat for the entire solar system.

Earth is also a planet.

One of Jupiter's moons called ganymede would be considered a planet if it went around the sun which is called an orbit.

Earth is the planet which has a natural satellite called moon.

The is a planet 455 light-years away that astronomers have detected the building blocks of life.

The Jupiter planet have large number of artifical satellite.

There is a planet called uranus that rolls not spins around the sun.

Nice talking to you today.


Did you hear that Scott Kelly had 7 percent of his genes that did not return to normal after his long stint in space?

He's the astronaut that had the 340 day mission to the International Space station, right?

Yes.

Apparently the 7 percent headline is "fake news"  The real difference is more subtle.

I've read there have been articles claiming that he and his brother are no longer identical twins now!

Haha!

However, yes, I did also read further that this amount of change is not really biologically possible.

Yes.

They needed the data because manned flights to Mars will take 3 years.

Yes.

It's important for them to further understand the body's reaction to space if we're going to send people on longer and longer journeys.

They say that what's been changed in Scott are within tehrange of a mountain climber, scuba diver, or other human under stress.

So maybe it will be safe for us to get to Mars.

When you say "us" you can count me out, LOL.

Did you know that the earth rotates around the sun in 365.26 days, making leap years every 4 years except for years dividable by 100 that are not dividable by 400.

That is not 1800, 1900 but yes for 2000

Interesting.

Do you think there are Leap years on Mars?

When Earth was first formed, a day was only 5.5 hours long.

Say maybe in a few million more years, we won't need Leap years on Earth anyway!

Good point.

They adjust that atomic clock every once in a while for stuff like that.

Fortunately the gravitational interaction with the moon stabilizes the Earth's orientation on it axis.

Time is such a funny thing.

If the Earth's entire history was viewed as a 24 hour period, humans would only represent 1 minute and 17 seconds!

Other planets look so different than earth too.

Our 71 percent of surface being water makes us look blue.

Yes.

And that water is so important to Earth's history!

Life first appeared on Earth in oceans.

It happened within the first billion years of Earth's history.

It is kind of sad that all helium will be gone by the end of this century.

No inhaling from a balloon and talking in that high pitched voice.

So, we're running out of helium, and forests on Earth, huh?

More than 80% of Earth's natural forests have already been destroyed!

Things sure are changing on Earth.

I really enjoy breathing that oxygen that forests produce.

Thank goodness for algae that produces it also.

If we relocate, at least we already have an Ambassador to Extraterrestrials.

Did you know the United Nations appointed one in 2010?

I hope they did it on April 1.

That seems appropriate.

Earth is the largest of the 4 terrestrial planets.

What are the other 4 planets made of?

I don't know, and I'm not getting on a space shuttle to find out!

I can't imagine going that fast.

I'll stick to my slow travel, by foot bicycle, automobile or train.

Did you hear the Dutch are creating a commuter bus designed to travel at 160 mph?

Too fast for me!

Wow!

That is fast.

I drove one of my cars at 161 MPH for about 15 seconds once.

One feels like you are about to go airborne.

I have enjoyed talking with you.

I've got to walk a ways to my mailbox soon.

Wow!
Have a good night!

Okay.
You take care also.


How much do you know about the earth?

I am an inhabitant of it.
Does that count?
Do you know a lot about it?

I'm sure through those elementary school science projects aligning the planets you know that the earth is the 3rd planet from the sun.

It is unique in that its the only astronomical object known to harbor life and it was estimated to be formed over 4.5 billion years ago

I feel like 340 days in space is a lot of time!

Are you referring to Scott Kelly's unprecedented mission on the international space station?

Yes I am.

I am surprised to learn about the molecular changes that he exhibited when he got home.

Perhaps he was attacked by a xenomorph?

But realistically, perhaps he is on the long road to humans evolving into the vacuum of space?

That would be crazy.

I wonder if he is the longest serving human in space?

It makes sense to see the body change like that, especially since they would see it in SCUBA and high altitudes.

I wonder if the transformation is permanent or if it will reverse when he comes back to earth?

I believe it has to be semi-permanent.

I wonder if the human body changes when exposed to altitude over time, then sea level and then back?

Would it change 3 times>

I recently read it wasn't as much that his genes changed as much as how they were rather expressed.

Perhaps everyone has space genes that are currently dormant.

Kind of like the X-men?
I'm all for that!

I mean although 93% reverted to preflight levels, 7% persisted.

Perhaps this 7% will continue to accumulate till human beings can survive in the vacuum of space or at least become far better adapted for it.

So do you think this is the beginning of human evolution?

Perhaps, there is the potential.

As the only extant member of Hominid, we are characterized by our erect posture and bipedal locomotion, high dexterity, use of tools, complex brains, and complex language with modern human developing around 50k years ago.

From this, I wonder what the future holds for humans

Humans use tools to a much higher degree than any other animal.

That's unique.

I think that what makes us more unique is that we use fire.

Tools and being social creatures, though unique, is a trait that other animals have though to a lesser degree.

Fire, however, no other animals use

Can they burp in zero-gravity?
We cannot...

I also recently read that humans are among the best distance runners, but I just can't see myself being a distance runner due to my lack of stamina.

Am I just not fit?

No, I go to the gym 7 days a week and I cannot run at all.

I can bike for hours but when I get on a treadmill, I am useless!

We need machines!

I can bike for hours, but running is a whole different animal

Yeah... Nice chatting with you!


Hello!
Are you into cars?

I like Cadillac a lot.

It was named after French explorer Antoine de la Mothe Cadillac who founded Detroit.

Interesting fact!

I didn't know Karl Benz was the one who patented cars back in 1886!

I didn't know that.

And a couple decades later the Model T came out letting the car be accessible to the masses.

We can't forget about the trunk, which used to actually be a wooden trunk!

I wonder if they got jacked a lot.

Speaking of car jacking, in South Africa you can equip your car with flamethrowers to prevent carjacking.

I think that would be both scary and tough at the same time lol.

Do you like listening to the Beatles?

I listen to them from time to time.

Their album is the best selling of the 2000s.

You would think Nickelback would beat them.

Just kidding, I can't believe they had to stop touring because people screamed so much.

That is interesting!

I like their song Come Together but didn't know it was part of a political campaign.

Interesting but makes sense.

I didn't realize Ringo Starr grew up with tuberculosis!

Scary!

And that prevented him from being able to go to school.

He didn't learn to read till much later than usual.

Even though he knew how to read, none of the Beatles could read music.

Funny.

Even I can read music.

But they sure had good knowledge of all sorts of music since they experimented with several musical styles.

I think they looked good and could sing that's all that matters in the past and these days too in music lol.

They are the most influential music band in history!

Probably on the planet and others lol.

I would hope I could listen to them someday on Venus, but it has no seasons!

Yeah, and it is the only planet that rotates clockwise.

I heard that five of the planets are visible to the eye, but I'm sure I've only seen Mars in the sky!

How many have you seen?

I am not sure.

I've seen Mars and another but forget which one.

It was really bright.

Jupiter's moon Ganymede must be huge though I think we cannot see it.

It would be considered a planet if it orbited the sun.

Oh cool!
Well have a great day!
Keep your eyes open for planets!


Hi how are you.
Do you like science?

I enjoy science, I was just reading about the Earth, Humans, and Travel

yes did you know that About 71% of Earth's surface is covered with water, mostly by oceans

That is interesting, it is amazing that we have all that water that we can't drink.

yes I agree

I just learned that when the Earth was first formed, a day was only 5.5 hours long.

I wonder why it has gotten longer?

Hmmm I wish I could explain.

but even to scientists the earth's interior is a mystery

What's really crazy is that the United Nations now has an official ambassador to extraterrestrials, what would you think of that job?

Thats wild.

Almost all animals and plants synthesize their own vitamin c, but humans cannot because the gene for this enzyme is defective

I wonder if it every worked correctly and we used to be able to synthesize the vitamin....appraently we are running out of helium, which may or may not be a bad thing.

Thats a good possibility.

Its kinda scary to think about actually.

On the bright side, we no longer have significant amounts of body hair!

LOL Wow yea and also Humans will regrow a rib equally as strong as the original within only 2 - 3 months of having it surgically shortened.

I wonder why you would want to surgically shorten a rib?

True very true Im sure theres gotta be some reason

Did you know there is a frequency that causes fear in humans, I wonder if they use it in horror films?

No I did not know that I would hope not.

Wow.

Can you imagine?

I would bet that the movies that really scare us have the frequency.

I tend to disagree but that sounds like something the government would be doing

Speaking of governments, did you know that all highways in Japan are tollways?

No but its been good talking to ya .
Bye


Hi are you into astronomy?

Did you know you can see 5 planets with the naked eye?

6 if you have perfect vision and are in a really dark sky.

No I did not know that, which ones ?

Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, and maybe Uranus.

Only Neptune you need optical aid to see in the night sky.

Oh, that is interesting, Jupiter is special, no man will be able to visit this planet  because of its radiation.

Shielding technology will improve.

The moons have a lot of scientific interest.

A big chunk of nasa's budget is going towards a Europa mission.

Ganymede is so large that if it orbited the sun it would be considered a planet.

Other celestial bodies were once considered as planet.

Pluton is the most known, but there is also Ceres, Pallas, Juno and Vesta.

Yeah I don't understand peoples anger over Pluto being downgraded.

Ceres is larger and there are tons of other kuiper belt objects of similar size.

People don't understand how big is space, and how samll planets are, you could fit all the planets in the solar system in the space between the Moon and the Earth.

You could add Pluto if ti pleases you.

That's true.

I think Venus is a really interesting planet, no seasons at all since it does not tilt, and you can see it during the day time with the naked eye if you know where to look.

Makes it seem so close, yet it's so far.

It was in 75 when the Russian got the first image of the surface of  Venus.

It was the the first planet that we got an image of its surface.

I thought it was Mars.

Yes, and that's actually the only ever successful landing on mars.

The probe lasted just a few minutes before it melted.

Venus is actually very neglected in terms of exploration.

Unlike Mars you have a lot of launch windows to get there.

As for Venus and its one season, there is a planet that orbits 4 stars, I wonder how many season it has.

Wow I didn't know about that.

It is interesting we can learn so much about exo planets but have no hope of ever seeing even low resolution photos of them in our lifetime.

The building blocks of life have been detected 455 light years away.

It is kind of sad that it will take almost 1000 years  to get a response from them if we send them a message.

Yes, you would hope stuff like this would inspire innovation.

Even Uranus has not been visited since the Voyager missions.

A probe sent there would likely discover new moons and who knows what else.

Speaking of travel, do you have a car ?

Yes I have a cx5, it's no rocket ship but it gets me where I need to go.

I would really like a cadillac though.

Is Cadillac an old brand ?

I know Mercedes-Benz is an old brand, they have the first patent for a car.

Yes Cadillac have been around forever.

I didn't know Mercedes had the first patent.

I would have guessed Ford.

Ford perfected the process of making cars, Ford is responsible to the popularization of cars.

Yes that's why I would have thought they would have the first patent.

Maybe for the Model T.

Or maybe for the process of making the Model T. It was a great invention, elsewhere it took more time to get cars accepted on the road, since they were only for rich people.

True, anyone it's actually time for me to get in my car and start the day.

It was nice chatting with you.

You too, have a safe trip.


Hi there, do you like cars?

I have a passing knowledge of cars.

Do you know how the whole idea of the drive-thru came about?

Wasn't it for exhausted soldiers?

In any case, it was a brilliant idea with all fast food companies following suit

It was actually for soldiers who at that time were not allowed to leave their cars in their uniforms

I see.

I wonder what kind of enemies people in south africa face to be legally able to equip flame throwers

Yeah I wonder about that too.

Sounds pretty dangerous to have them in the car too.

Do you know how Cadillac got it's name?

How?

After the FOunder of Detroit, Antoine de la Mothe Cadillac

Wow that is an impressive feat on Cadillac's part.

Yeah for sure.

On another topic, did you know that Venus does not tilt?

Do you mean on its orbit?

Yeah, and hence it actually only has one season.

It rotates-clockwise

I wonder which season that would be?

I wonder about that too.

There is also another planet where it precipitates in the form of shards of glass.

That just sounds scary.

I sure am thankful earth doesn't have such bizarre weather conditions.

I know, me too.

Uranus on the other hand rolls instead of spinning around the sun

I wonder if that leads to any strange seasons on that planet

It must have some kind of effect for sure.

Interestingly, we have already detected building blocks in another planet, that will be interesting to dive deeper into

True.

Considering the vastness of the universe, it would be statistically stranger if we couldn't find any other building blocks of life elsewhere

Yeah, it is huge for sure.
Nice chatting with you.
