hi how are you?
do you go to concerts much?

I have been to a few concerts in the past but it has been a very long time.

i have not gone recently.
i dont have the cash or the time.
id like to go.
they are fun.

i went to an Eminem concert when I was much younger, that was a really crazy concert.

i bet he was dope live.
he can spit made fire yo.
he is the stuff.

Yeah his concert was one of the craziest I have ever been to, and yeah his stuff is really good when you hear it live.

he wanted to be a comic book artist originally.

Some bands are just great live.

Due to the success of their debut album, linkin park played 324 concerts in 2001 alone.

I bet they got really good at live shows.

Yep that is why he references comic books in a ton of his older songs, Linkin park was an amazing band, but i am not sure we will hear much from them again.

that was tragic what happened to the singer.

i guess they have a best selling album too.

the ramones have showed no signs of slowing down.

Do you watch youtube videos?

In 2007, youtube consumed as much bandwidth as the entire internet in the year 2000.

i have watched them.
youtube is a monster.
everyone uses it.
it is the new television.

Do you think pewdiepie can stay on top, or will Tseries finaly win?

Think he can hit 100 million before they do?

i do not follow pdp.
he is a strange phenomenon to me.
why watch someone playing video games?

Their reactions and commentary are the biggest reasons, it is why twitch is so popular, also he doesn't really play games that much anymore, his content has swayed away from that.

you sound like a fan.

i have not followed him.

i think that youtube had spawned stuff that will never make sense to my generation.

I watch him on and off, i didn't watch him when he just played games, because there are better channels to watch if you want that, like roosterteeth, but since his content changed his stuff is a lot better.

i think that there are things lurking on youtube that will boggle my addled mind.

i should stick to old fashioned sitcoms and spielberg movies.

Well you can't go wrong with jaws or E.T, and some older sitcoms are great, I love golden girls, and the Andy Griffith show.

the old shows always please.
I like to go back and watch them again.
Anyway, great chat!

yeah same to you, was a pleasure.

Have a good one!

same to you


Hey there do you like listening to concerts?

I really like Pink Floyd myself.

I've seen them a couple times

I do, I love concerts Pink Floyd is a great artist, he recorded a live concert once without audience

That is really cool.

It was in Pompeii at and Amphitheatre.

Back in 1972 And there's no audience that's so weird!

Yeah why would he make a concert without an audience, I guess he had his reasons, do you know the band  Creed?

I have heard of them.

Didn't they get sued because their concerts were so bad LOL

They did lol, it was a terrible concert, that happened back in 2002, the band has great songs I don't know what happened there

Yeah I would like to get to the bottom of that story haha.

Do you ever listen to Linkin Park?

I do, too bad the leading singer committed suicide, I loved the band

Yeah that was too bad.

One crazy thing that they did was to do 324 concerts in 2001.

That is so many and insane

I agree that like a concert a day, who has the energy for that?

Hahah that'll do it!
do you like The Ramones at all?
They also play a lot of concerts

I do like the Ramones, they played like 2200 concerts in a period of 20 years,

Yep you're right!

Have you ever been to a Roman Amphitheatre?

Apparently in Croatia there's one that still puts on concerts

I haven't, I might travel to Croatia and visit that amphitheatre one day, a lot of history in one place plus good music,

I agree with you!
Do you like Steven Spielberg movies?

I do like his movies, he is also a clarinet player, he played the clarinet in the Jaws soundtrack

That is funny!

That's a great movie btw, apparently he still makes a lot of money from the Star Wars bet he made with George Lucas back in 1977

I wonder what they betted on lol, they must be really good friends, I love Schindlers List, its one of my favorite Spielberg movies

I agree!

I even like his crappy movies like hook LOL.

how often do you watch YouTube?

I watch YouTube every day so really often, Google made a great purchase there

Oh for sure.

I can't believe YouTube is the second largest search engine

It has become big, there's even a service dedicated only to police called Blutube,


hi how are you?
do you go to concerts?

I occasionally go, although I normally do not have time.

What about you?

i usually dont have time or money, but i do like to go to concerts.

i went a lot when i was younger.

Ah.

Do you ever watch the concerts on youtube if they are posted there?

i dont watch concerts on there.

i do listen to songs on youtube.

many old songs from long ago are on there.

So do I. Youtube is the second largest search engine on the internet!

I believe that only google is larger than youtube!

google owns youtube, i think.

i bet they share search engine technology.

Probably.

Netflix and youtube make up over half of the internet traffic in North America

do you use netflix?

I used to, but I don't now.

Youtube is free.

plus there are things you can downvote.

Justin bieber's "baby" is the most disliked video on youtube

Actually, it has been topped by youtube rewind 2018.

That video has at least 15 million dislikes!

i never saw that but i heard about it.
was that a retrospective on something?

Yep.

Police have their own version of youtube called blutube.

I wonder who came up with that name.

yeah, it does have a strange sound to it.

i would wonder if it had adult material or soemthing.

i wouldnt think the police.

The video gangnam style had so many views that youtube had to upgrade to 64 bits!

i think its funny that that song got so popular.

i dont know it at all.

it is for a different generation.

Well, this generation its all about despacito.

That video got over 5 billion views!

thats over 5/7 the earth although I  am pretty sure that many individuals have watched it many times

5 billion??

i wonder who is watching it that much.

I like to look at the older stuff because im older.

i dont relate to the new music at all.

I am not a music fan although I do watch some music from time to time.

What is your favorite song?

i like songs from the 70s and 80s.
rock and pop.
i dont have a favorite.
Anyway, great chat!

Yes, thank you for your time, it was awesome chatting with you!

My pleasure.
Have a great night!

You too!

Thanks!

Thank you too.


Have you seen the original deadpool?

Yes, but it was a while back.

Some premium dark humor.

I hear Deadpool 2 is good but more of the same...

I heard the same thing.

I'm deciding whether or not I should see it.

Thoughts?

I think I will be I'm not in a big hurry.

I guess Ryan Reynolds is the voice of a mystery villain...

Hilarious.

By the way, did you know Deadpool 2 is the highest grossing r rated film ever?

I think that may be the original one and the stat's for non-Cameron or Lucas directed films...

Hmm, interesting.
You might be right.
Have you seen Starship troopers?

I've see the 1st and 2nd one.

Bugs and more bugs... Did you know the Deadpool video game cost more to make than the movie did?

Wow.

No, are you serious?
How much did it cost?

I don't know but I bet it's a lot.

Have you read "Ender's Game"?

I guess it's suggested reading in the USMC.

No, but I saw the movie.

It is an awful turd, at least I thought so.

I haven't seen it.

Funny, people were in a moral panic in the 18th century because people were reading novels.

They would really freak about graphic novels of the 21st century.

Yeah, that is pretty weird isn't it.
Do you like to read comic books?

Not since I was 12.
Some people are really into it.
I do like and appreciate Stan Lee.

Yeah, I haven't read them in a long time either, but I did just see that movie Glass.

Was it good?

I guess "DC" stands for "Detective Comics" -- I never know that when I was reading them.

And here I thought it stood for District of Columbia.

LOL

The comics wouldn't be good having been produced by the government.

I guess Stan Lee ends conversations by saying "excelsior!".

Is that a real word?

Interesting, I'm not sure.
I'd actually have to look that up.
Well, nice chatting with you!

Stan Lee has appeared on The Big Bang Theory and he says that there.

For comics, MSU is a good place.

Interesting.

I wonder if he wrote the generic comic book.

Well, have a nice day.

I doubt that.

He doesn't seem like he would be interested in that.

OK, see ya.

Take it easy!


Have you seen Deadpool 2?

I saw the first one but had too many distractions going on to enjoy it.

I liked what I saw because it was sort of funny.

I loved Deadpool 2, Lady luck was my favorite in it, and of course the Juggernaut!

I'd really like to read the Deadpool Comic books.

I haven't done any good reading in awhile.

Have you?

that would be fun, I have read other superhero ones but never his, they would be so interesting.

I love reading though

I think the Black Panther is a good comic book.

Did you know that in the original Deadpool comics that he's described as Ryan Reynolds crossed with a Shar Pei?

This was before the movie!

no way, his name was actually in the comic book?

Do you think that is why he was hired?

That would be really cool if he read it himself and found out that way!

Brianna Hildebrand is in Deadpool 2.

She's a good actress.

Who does she play in that movie?

Deadpool is the highest grossing r rated film of all time that isn't directed by james cameron or george lucas, I wonder how close deadpool 2came

She's that teenager who's got short hair and I think she had a yellow suit.

She was also in the Exorcist.

I wonder if they'll be making a Deadpool 3?

I hope so.

lol I never knew her name, I liked her.

I hope they are making it, I would watch that for sure!

Do you know who the director was?

No, I'm not sure, do you know?

I know it's by 20th Century Fox but that's it.

Did you know Ryan Reynold also is the voice of the mystery villain in Deadpool?

That's funny!

Who was the mystery villain, I can't remember them from that movie?

I think it was something Miller as the director

I think it's the guy who gave Deadpool his mutant powers and he's trying to find him at one point.

It's kind of complicated...that's why I
am disappointed I didn't get to watch it with interruptions.

lol

that makes sense lol.

I will have to rewatch it and listen closely lol.

Do you read any other comic books?

No, the most reading I do lately is for work or kids books.

It's been awhile since I've gone to a bookstore like Barnes and Noble to get some reading material for myself.

What about you?

Me too, I have a bunch of comic books, mostly marvel.

I heard marvel created a generic comic book with purposes only to trademark super-hero and super-villain

i guess that's a good idea if it worked out!

I learned in school that people questioned morality of reading novels.

I wonder what those same people would say about the comic books of today?

That is a good point.

I really got into the movie starship troopers when it came out and the book was even better!

I remember that..I think I even saw it in theater.

I guess those people panicking about novels in the 18th century would feel pretty silly in today's world!

ha for sure, books have changed a lot since then!

It is making me want to read my book.

it was so good chatting with you!

I think I'll make it a goal to do more reading!

ttyl!

have a good night!
Read those books!


Did you watch Deadpool 2?

I watched part of it.

It seemed like the first one.

Reynolds felt like he was destined for the role since 2004.

He fits...

He sure sold the part, I heard Deadpool described himsilf as Reynold Reynolds before he was picked for the movie, so yeah seems like destiny

He also did the voice of the mystery villain in DeadPool 2.

Thats funny, another cooll fact is that the videogame was actually more expensive than the movie

Yeah, games are hard to develop.

DP 1 is the highest grossing R-rated film of all time.

I didn't know it was that popular.

Its really funny so that makes sense, I like the cab driver so funny, and also how Deadpool is not really a hero

Was DP ever a comic book?

Marvel once published a "generic comic book" so they could trademark the names "super-hero" and "super-villain"

Yeah it was a comic book his the eternal rival of wolferine, and really?

they trademark that, sounds like a smart move

Yeah.

"DC" of comic book fame stands for "Detective Comics" making their company name redundant...

Which one do you like better, DC comics or Marvel comics?

I'm not sure.

I suppose it's a tie.

Michigan State U. has the largest public comic book collection in the world.

Take that textbooks!

Sounds like an interesting library, sad Stan Lee died, he had an interesting way of ending phone conversations

Stan Lee sometimes appears on The Big Bang Theory.

So, are you a reader?

I do like to read yea, do you?

Yes, if reading off the internet counts.

In the 18th century people had a "moral panic" because people were reading novels.

They would totally freak now.

They would with all the books available out there, Starship Troopers would create panic and revolutions for sure

I can't believe Starship Troopers is recommended for all 5 military branches.

I wonder how it was selected?

Maybe the strategies are good Enders game is another recommened book by the millitary

I can kind of see that.
It isn't full of giant bugs.
Do you speed read?
The record is 4700 words per minute.


Good evening!

I just got in from seeing Deadpool 2, based on the Marvel character Deadpool.

Have you seen it yet?

hi how are you?
I have not seen DP 2.
I saw the first one and liked it.

Deadpool is the highest grossing R rated film of all time that's not directed by James Cameron or George Lucas.

I wonder if Deadpool 2 will come close to that record?

I think the fans of the character will support the series.

i know that the humor is irreverent and that it appeals to a non kid audience.

Definitely.

I didn't realize that in a 2004 comic book series Deadpool described himself as "Ryan Reynolds crossed with a shar-pei"!

I can see why Ryan Reynolds thought he was destined for the role of Deadpool on the big screen!

He was perfect for the role.

i dont know the original comic but he really does breathe life into the character.

He sure does!

He shines, though there are so many other stars in the film, like Josh Brolin, Zazie Beetz, and T.J. Miller.

Yes, the casting was excellent, as far as I can tell.

I think that is half the battle for a good film.

Drop the right people into the role and the audience will accept the story.

Definitely.

I feel like it's hard to go wrong with a comic book movie.

Deadpool 2 is the 11th installment in the X-Men film series, and that's just one comic book franchise releasing films right now!

actually, i usually dont like comic book movies, mostly because there is too much CGI.

i think story and character.

most of the superhero stuff is about battles and explosions.

i guess im getting old.

LOL

There is a lot of visual excitement.

Do you prefer a comic book to a movie?

I like reading the panels and imagining some of the action myself

I am not really a comic book person.
i prefer movies.
I liked Spider-man 2.

Spider man is a good one!

Marvel really has some great characters.

Did you know they published a "generic comic book" in order to trademark the names "super-hero" and "super-villain"?

Pretty sneaky!

That is funny!
the lawyers were behind that one.
i guess they will enforce that?
I wonder who they would sue.

The words seem ubiquitous!

But maybe they have a bunch of lawsuits in a different multiverse!

I just found out that the Marvel Cinematic universe actually takes place in a different multiverse than the original comic book universe.

Now I see why not everything lines up!

Yes, it is easier to explain everything.

i dont really follow comic books, but I guess it gets pretty complicated.

What do you like to read?
I like to read novels.

I read non fiction usually.

i do like stories, but usually watch movies for that.

novels are good, a better escape than TV, i think

I agree.

It's hard to believe that in the 18th century there was a "moral panic" because of the spread of reading novels!

I should probably go catch up on my reading now!

Yes, please do catch up on your reading!

Have a good weekend!

Good night!

Good night!

Bye


hey do you like comic books?

I guess Stan Lee who created a lot of comic book characters always uses the word Excelsior!

Sure.

Did you know that Marvel published a generic comic book in order to trademark the names super-hero and super-villain

oh wow no I didn't, did you know that DC stands for detective comics?

I never knew that

they say that its company name is redudant due to that.

ha-ha that makes sense, I live in Michigan and actually MSU has the largest public comic book collection

good to know.

It is impressive to know that the first modern comic book was released in the US in 1933.

They have been for decades.

wow that is wild, do you watch movies?

The movie deadpool is based on a comic and I guess the videogame of Deadpool somehow cost more than the movie they made

I don't understand how, but indeed cost more.

Ryan Reynolds stars as Deadpool in Twentieth Century Fox?

ah ya I did, did you see deadpool 2?
I didn't like it as much as the first

It was good.

what do you think about reading 4700 words per minute record?

I disagree, I 'm not sure if it's possible to retain that much information, do you read a lot?

Yes, I do.

Did you know that on the 18th century there was a moral panic due to the spread of reading of novels?

haha I didn't know that, have you seen the movie starship troopers?

apparently that book is recommended reading for the us military

No, I haven't, but they also say that is the first sci-fi novel on the reading list.

ya, and the thing is the movie is very anti war and anti military, so that is why it is so crazy they would recommend it!

Enders game was also suggested for many military organizations.

ya have you seen that movie?

It's also not very pro military and I didn't like it even though I like Harrison Ford, what about you?

no, it is not my type of movie.

do you like lord of the rings?

I like how he would read bad poetry with his friend and do laughing contests at reading it haha

Yes, I do.

reading requires creativity and critical analysis.

yes that's true, I also Like how Deadpool is one of the highest grossing R rated movies ever made, I really like the first one a lot


Have you read any romance novels before?

No I have not.
Do people really read those?

I don't either but I don't get why people label them as bad, stupid, or for losers, would you characterize romance novels as those?

No I would not.
I always say "to each their own"

Is there a specific genre you would enjoy the most?

I would have to say Fiction.

I can not believe a judge tried to ban a science fiction comic in the 1950s!

That's crazy, why was that even a consideration in the first place, and then they suggested Ender's Game, a science fiction, as reading for military organizations, a little odd.

It was suggested by the judge because the comic featured a black character.

Awful!

Oh wow!

That's why, I thought because the judge had an issue with science fiction.

I wonder if that were to happen in today's society, what would happen?

Have you ever heard of the science fiction author Isaac Asimov?

No I haven't, is there any notable books that he wrote or perhaps that was later adapted to a movie?

Yes, I, Robot i believe is the name.

Oh, I think I've seen that.

That film was an adaptation of a book?

Good thing we live in the current century because in the 18th century, there was even a "moral panic" because reading was so widespread!

I think we have gone backwards a bit and a lot of people don't read books these days haha.

Ya I agree.

Reading is great.

Apparently the longest piece of fiction is 4 million words long, and it is about a video game called Super Smash Bros.

Huh, I wonder if that's still considered reading.

Maybe if more people read, they would know how to get out of the predicament like when a judge sued a small dry cleaning business for $67 million for losing a pair of pants, I do not know any pants worth that amount of money.

Speaking of pants.

It was illegal for women to wear pants in Paris, France until 2013.

Can you believe that?

Does that mean women were only allowed to wear skirts or something?

That's insane, I would think that Paris is where fashion originates and people would be more liberal in their fashion adventures!

Ya apparently.

Women also weren't allowed to wear pants in the US Senate floor until 1993.

I find that so odd.

That's actually fairly recent I think, I wonder what the definition of  "saggy pants" is?

If I were to take a stab at it, I'd say anything that displays your undergarments when walking, how would you define it?

I suppose pants below the waistline.

I think something MC Hammer wore would be considered baggy, it's also the premise for Aladdin's pants too!


Do you read Romance novels?

i dont.
i do like to read.
do you like romance novels?

No I think they are really boring.

I like murder mysteries.

The Brits write the best ones.

Like Agatha Christie.

I like to see if I can figure them out before the end.

yes, it really is a cognitive challenge.

people like to form theories and test them as they read.

i usually read non fiction though.

I will read a textbook if the subject is biology or a science.

I haven't read too many since college.

I also have favorites like The Lord of the Rings.

Yeah, that was a great series.

i read that when i was young.

it was like literature, but the story was not dry.

the level of language was great!

Tolkein was an English Professor, I think.

The English have more colorful words to describe things than Americans.

he loved language, including dead ones.
he was a prof at Oxford i believe.
they do love language more in the UK

Yes, you are right.

Reading an American murder mystery is never as interesting as a British one.

I do like Nevada Barr, though.

She is an American Park Ranger and writes some very interesting mysteries.

I have not heard of her.

She is a park ranger?

that must make for some interesting stories.

So far she has written about almost all of the national parks and from a Ranger's point of view.

That is a good story.
nothing typical or cliched about that.
has she won any awards?

I am not sure.

I think she has.

I usually read by author and I should know.

I will have to look that up.

Do you read SF?

The term "robotics" was accidentally coined by science fiction author isaac asimov in 1941.

I enjoy Asimov but that is not typically my genre.

Some of the science fiction portrayed on the old Star Trek series is coming true.

Look at their communicators for instance.

yeah, the imagination leads to the creation of the technology.

sci fi is fun that way.

imagine it, and then the engineers will come up with it!

LOL

Poe came up with the term cyborg in one of his stories.

I think he was a really creepy man but I would have loved to have met him.

I like his poem 'The Bells' the best.

He only got a few bucks for the Raven.

i wonder how much money he got in general for his writing.

Whatever he made I think was spent on alcohol and drugs.

What a shame.

Then again, maybe he would not have been a good writer if he had been a normal person.

Also, I love that poem too.

True, it is a curse to be creative.

it is hard to get into the creative mood.

Anyway, great chat!

Yes, thank you and have a great day!

Thanks!
You too!

Bye-I hope this submits.

Yeah, i hope so too!

still here

Ok bye bye!

will try


Hello, have you ever worked in a book store?

Actually, I did for a brief period.

We didn't have many romance novels though.

Really?

That is interesting.

I'm not into romance novels myself.

In fact I don't think I have read any of the ones that they are talking about.

Same here.

It's mainly women who purchase romance novels, with 80 percent of copies being purchased by females.

I'm actually surprised the number is only 80%.

I do like the movie Starship Troopers, I think it is a pretty good sci-fi flick.

Is Starship Troopers based on a book?

Yeah, it is.

It is based on a book, but was made into a movie.

They have 3 sequels to it as well.

Did you see that a judge tried to ban a science fiction comic in the 1950s?

I didn't realize that, what was his reasoning?

The comic featured a black character, which was his only reasoning.

Wow that is crazy, seems like a mean judge to me.

Seems so, but the history of science fiction is very interesting.

I tend to agree.

I didn't know Aladdin's pants were modeled after MC Hammer, you can't touch that!

I think it's crazy that women couldn't wear pants in Paris until 2013.

I was unaware of that.
Is this true?

Seems so.

Probably a pretty unofficial ban in modern times.

Yeah, I don't think it is true.
I know a lot of french people.

I'm sure they probably knew nothing of the "ban" since it seems quite ridiculous.

Yeah, perhaps it is one of those old laws that is still on the books.

WE have some weird laws in the U.S.

I agree.
Any examples?

Yeah, in Arizona there is a specific law against feeding garbage to Pigs.


Good morning, are you a big reader?

I am!
I love reading!

Who are some of your favorite authors?

I actually like to read a lot of biographies so it changes from book to book.

lol   President Andrew Johnson never attended school in his life and his wife helped him to learn math and how to read.

I like to read non-fiction and fiction.

My favorite genre at the moment is Historical Fiction.

Nice!

I guess I do like those.

I like historical fiction Westerns.

An elementary school replaced desks with reading bicycles and test scores skyrocketed.

That's what I need here at my house!

It would be a good way to get some exercise during work.

I wouldn't want to get too sweaty during the day though.

lol true!

Louis Braille, the inventor of the braille system, perfected it when he was just 15.

That's incredible!

That's pretty amazing, I think I perfect sleeping late and playing video games at 15!

LOL nice!

Silent reading is a recent phenomenon.

Only the most skilled readers of the middle ages could read silently.

Interesting.

I'm not familiar with silent reading, what is that?

That's where you don't speak while you read.

lol

Haha, I realized that after I read what I sent a little more closely.

I couldn't imagine if everyone was reading out loud all the time.

That kind of would have been funny to see.

lol  In the 1950's a judge tried to ban a science fiction comic because it featured a black character.

What a sad sign of the times from back then.

I would hope there would be more to the story than that just being the reason but it does reflect poorly on that era.

Yes.

The world's longest piece of fiction is a 4 million word Super Smash Brothers brawl fan fiction!

Some of those fan fiction writers are really creative, I can't imagine trying to keep up with that.

I couldn't that's for sure.

The term robotics was accidentally coined by science fiction author Isaac Asimov in 1941!

I know he is famous for the 3 laws of robotics and a lot of novels, I don't think I have read any of them though.

I know I haven't read them.

A drabble is a work of fiction that is exactly 100 words long!

That's neat!

I've had fun chatting with you.

It was fun chatting with you as well!


did you know that the seahorse is the only fish that is known to also have a neck?

Yes I did, but only because I came upon that fact randomly in my reading.

Interesting in it's a way.

ya, I wonder what qualifies as a neck?

becuase other fish have a separation from their mouth to their body, I don't know, i do want them to mix jellyfish genes with me though so I can become immortal like a jellyfish haha

Yes, I read about that jellyfish also in my reading, where a skunk emits bad odor or a possum plays dead when under stress or danger in a situation, those jellyfish can revert to smaller, underdeveloped child like states to avoid danger and then grow again in an infinite cycle.

Interesting.

wow that is interesting, theres a lot of weird facts about fish like that, kind of like how 84% of human genes that predict diseases have counterparts in zebrafish, that's just crazy

Yes, I wonder if those zebrafish used in medical research?

I also read the surface of the moon is more known about than the deeps of the sea, who knows what other amazing creatures are down there.

yes that is wild, I wonder if there is like, a really old dinosaur fish or something else awesome that hasn't been disocvered yet, we know so little about our own planet still and it's sad that 80% of earths natural forest has been eliminated at this point

Yes, you compound the loss of forest and photosynthesis, increased amount of CO2 from fossil fuels and global warming it seems a sad future for mankind.

Interesting too that all Helium will be gone by the end of this Century.

ya that is scary, I know that it's used for balloons but also very important for manufacturing, I hope we can turn our using of resources around, apparently the earth was formed when a day was only 5.5 hours, so I guess the earth would do a complete rotation in that amount of time?

Yes, that really amazed me, the Earthy was spinning 5 times faster than it is now?

I wonder.

A 5.5 hour day would really mess with your sleep cycles.

I've been up in northern Sweden when it was only 4 hours of daylight and that messes with you.

ya that's what I was wondering, like if days are faster but the earth is the same distance from the sun and moving at the same rate, years would be the same length but just have 5 fimes more days in a year

I assume if the earth's rotation is slowing at some distant time in the far future the days will be another 5 times longer or like 100 hours in a day.

You'd have 50 hours of sunlight and 50 hours of daylight, like 2-3 days.

That be a change.

yes that would be a major change, do you watch hockey at all?

typically hockey rings are interchangable with basketball courts in size so they just switch between them at stadiums

I grew up in St. Louis so in the 80's I went to a lot of Blues-Blackhawks games.

I live near Boston so there's a lot of Bruins hockey in the background but I don't have much interest.

I knew the ice was below the basketball court and was always amazed there's no condensation, they must have a lot of insulation between.

ah I see, what's also crazy is that a hockey player can lose 8 pounds just during one game, that's a lot of weight but I bet it takes lots of energy to play a game, you're always moving, plus being cold will burn calories

Yes, and bundled up in all the layers of clothes and pads and protection and helmet while sprinting up and down the ice for 60 minutes.

I wasn't really surprised by that fact when I gave it much thoughts.

that's true, what is surprising is that in 1993 a hockey player was traded for $1, and later went on to win 4 Stanley Cups, imagine the regret of the first time haha

Yes, I'm assuming he made more a $1 after the trade was completed (and was a value at the price).

But as I said being a pseudo St. Louis Blues fan they've never won a Stanley Cup so good for that guy.

ya he must be relaxed, it's weird that Canada's national sports are hockey and lacrosse, I would imagine hockey is but I wouldn't have predicted that lacrosse is their other sport, I'd say that is not too popular in the USA

I agree, I thought in the US lacrosse was more a rich family/Ivy League elite sport.

Canada always struck me more middle/working class so it was surprising to me lacrosse was a national sport.

yes I agree, my friend played lacrosse in high school but I had never heard of it before he started playing, I've seen it on TV randomly but I always change the channel haha

Change the channel, that we agree on regarding lacrosse!

haha that is true!
such a boring thing to watch!
give me hockey or football instead


Do you follow the NHL?

I loosely follow the NHL

I don't really follow it.

Apparently the Vegas Golden Knights did well last season.

Yes, they made the finals.

They got a ton of support from their fans.

There were 18,042 fans on average at their home games

That's crazy, I've seen that's over capacity of their arena

Yes, I am not sure where the extra fans were put.

They must've included employees in the count.

Yes, another theory, though may have been a joke, was that pregnant women were included.

I can imagine that children who are small enough to fit on the lap without a ticket could also be counted.

I've known of arenas that used to sell standing room only tickets.

Perhaps that was part of the count then.

Also, three quarters of Golden Knights fans are locals.

This is surprising given all that there is to do in Las Vegas.

Did you know that Canada has another national sport besides hockey?

I was unaware there were any sports in Canada besides hockey!

Haha, that is funny.

Lacrosse is also a national sport in Canada.

That's interesting, I would've never guessed that.

Apparently hockey is a good sport to take up for weight loss.

A hockey player can lose up to 8 pounds in a game.

I can see that, even with short shifts they come off gassed.

It's surprising that throughout most of the world, hockey refers to field hockey.

I can see it, since its hard to keep ice in warmer climates

That must be it.


Good morning, do you like shirts?

A shirt is just functionary for me, I don't really have an opinion about them.

I agree.

In China, they have a fashion that involves layering as many shirts as possible and popping the collars.

Those Asians country's have some funny habits, but they probably say the same about us.

Kombucha is another one I don't understand.

Did you know Polo shirts were invented for tennis players?

I guess they polo players saw it and thought, we'll have that and put our name on it before the tennis players know what's going on.

Did you know button down is where the collar tips fasten to the body of the shirt?

I was not aware of that.

I've always been aware of that term but never really put much thought into it.

The official business and office attire in Hawaii is an aloha shirt.

I never liked dressing up for work back when I was in an office, not sure how I feel about those aloha shirts though, it feels a little like forced merriment.

Me either.

I hate getting dressed up.

I saw at Billy May's funeral the pallbearers wore blue shirts and khaki pants.

I think that would be more meaningful to me if I knew who Billy Mays was.

Was he in the khaki industry?

He was a face for as seen on TV types of things.

He loved blue shirts and khakis.

Oh, well I do know who he is, I just didn't know his name.

Did he ever try selling fermented drinks on TV, such as Kombucha?

Haha no idea.
Do you like horror films?

It depends on my mood.

I can get really worked up at times watching them, I understand I may be burning a number of calories at the time.

Me too.

Stephen King was terrified of Bambi when he was little.

I found that very sad, but not scary.

There's a scary movie called Sunshine that I like, kind of Sci-Fi horror.

I've never seen or heard of that one.

I saw watching horror movies can actually make you enjoy art more.

Must awaken your sense or something.

My son watched a horror movie with me last weekend, as a kid I thought is was scary, he thought it was funny.

I guess tastes change.

Haha yep things change.
Good talking to you today.
Take care.


Hey, anyone out there?
Anyone under the sun?

we all are since its 109 times earth size

Yes, it's huge in comparison.

One second of its energy would power us 500,000 years.

So long fossil fuel...

except it takes those same fuels to make renew able fuel sorces like solar panels.

sucks

Always a catch...

Speaking of hot things, do you iron your own clothes?

no anad reading about shirts im glad i dont,

Yeah, iron tragedies... Oh no, not the Oxford cloth!

blue shirts and khaki pants, i wonder if they were all properly pressed before hand

One can only hope...

I avoid 100% like I avoid bad alcohol like grappa and kombucha

lol, id avoid that weird living biohazrd too.

Yep... BTW: I meant 100% cotton... Hard to do with polo shirts that actually have a tennis history and not polo...

side stepping here to how odd is it they mention King they mention the shining but not how much the man hated the movie of his book.

Hmmm.

Weird.

Weird is fitting for King novels.

I read a short story by him, Apt Pupil, and it keeps me out to this very day.

i read that in high school right after the movie was released, i was freaked out too.

Keeps – creeps… Yeah, I can handle Cujo but that was too real...

I think I burned more that 180 calories...

right, same here, im great with everything else of his but the reality of how quickly people fall into those situations still

Not big on the horror genre in general...  Like the Shining, I'll never drink Red Rum...

lol, i wonder how they got the number of cal.

burnt.

is it just the average the body uses naturally or is it from the jump scares i wonder

Maybe some kind of FitBit... Do you think it's possible to do a waterphone solo?

yes completly in fact, there are several people out there who make music with only found sounds already i bet they already did something

That amazing...

Puts a new spin on the "alternative" genre... Nice talking to you.


lets talk about hockey, Canada had a great winter Olympic season in 1924 scoring 132 goals total

Are we talking the ice form or the field form?

ice form, Lacrosse and ice hockey are both Canada's national sports

Two national sports.

That seems a little greedy.

I've never been much of a skater, a few times when I was a kid, but never got into it.

They are the only country in the world that has two national sports

Lookin at it on TV I'd imagine those guys must sweat a lot in all that clothing, even if it is on ice.

There was a hockey player that was traded for a $1 in 1993

I could have bought him.

Not sure what I'd do with  hockey player around the house, maybe laundry.

maybe, 8 pounds is the amount an average professional hockey player losses each game.

That's  a lot, you could make a lot of money by marketing a diet plan that loses 8 pounds in a single night.

You could have a nice big dinner after and not feel guilty, a fish supper maybe?

yeah, when they switch to basketball the hockey ring stays under the basketball court

I wonder if you can feel the temperature of the ice through the temporary court?

It's time we came up with a new sport, ice basketball, the same basketball just on ice.

Then they would not have to keep switching the court from one to the other.

Lets talk about the Earth next, it is the third planet from the sun and formed 4.5 billion years ago

I guess the rotation of the earth has slowed, a day used to be 5,5 hours,  a work day would have been shorter then.

yes, the earth has already lost so much of its natural forests, around 80 percent of them

From what I hear on the radio it's still losing more, and quickly.

I was also aware that we are losing helium, need to think more carefully about those birthday balloons.

I did not know that either, The earth by the end of the 21st century will be virtually helium-free

I've heard it a while back, I guess you can't make helium, and when it's released into the air it escapes our atmosphere, never to be seem again.

If you put the earth's history in a 24 hour period, humans only represent 1 minute 17 seconds

I can never comprehend these time scales, lie the size of galaxies, and distances in light years.

Just too vast to process.

yeah, the Earth's surface is mostly water, being covered by 71%


Hi!
Do you like the horror genre?
It is meant to elicit fear!

I love horror films, they are my favorites what about you?

Awesome me too.

I love that they were inspired by the works of Poe, Stoker, and Shelley.

I didn't know that, cool, do you like Christopher Nolan, the director of Inception?

Yes I love that movie.

I don't think it was really a horror movie though.

Watching horror movies can burn up to 180 calories!

I thought it was kind of scary but yeah, its more like a thriller/suspence movie and 180 calories no kidding?

Yeah very surprising right?

Those creepy metallic noises in sci-fi or horror films are made by an instrument called the waterphone.

Oh so thats the name of thats instrument, interesting, another cool fact about horror movies is that E.T was originally meant as a horror movie

Actually I was kind of scared of that movie as a child.

The actor who played the boy in the shining didn't even realize he is acting out horror film until several years later.

He didnt?

how can he not know the Shinning was a really scary movie?

I got really afraid watching it.

Haha I was scared too but didn't quite wet myself.

Almost though lol.

They must have shielded him from the actual blood and gore I guess.

I guess they had a great strategy so do you follow fashion I love wearing T-shirts, they are so comfortable

Yes I like being fashionable too.

Polo shirts were originally invented for tennis players!

They were?

thats an amazing fact.

polo took all the credit for that one, do you know why t-shirts got invented?

No I'm not sure other than the fact they were invented for tennis players.

Official business and office attire in Hawaii is the aloha shirt.

Must be much more comfortable than a suit and tie.

It is?

I love aloha shirts and the t-shirt was actually invented for bachelors who could sew or replace buttons.

Oh that is really cool.

Good to know.

In British English, the shirt is more specifically a garment with a collar, sleeves with cuffs, and a full vertical opening with buttons or snaps.

Fashion has evolved a lot over the years, good thing fashion has changed its a lot more comfortable now

Yes it is more comfortable than ever.

In China during the cultural Revolution gang fashion involved layering as many clothes as possible and popping the collars.

It was nice chatting with you today.

That doesnt sound comfortable at all lol a lot of heat by wearing all of them at once.

it was great chatting with you as well bye

Yes


Hello, did you enjoy the iron man films.

My son loves them.

I loved all of them!

Robert Downey jr made 10 million dollars for iron man 2.

He only made 500k for the first installment.

Nice!

The fist movie grossed over $585 million dollars!

Robert only got 10 million of that.
He was the best part of the movie.

Yes.

The actor who played Ralphie in "A Christmas Story" was the executive producer of Iron Man.

I didn't know that.

I heard that.

Also that he decided to do the movie without a script.

That's neat!

Paul Bettany the voice of Jarvis has never seen the Iron Man movies.

Well he must be make a conscience effort not to, because Im sure he has had many chances.

Lol.

lol Right?

Stan Lee created Iron Man because he thought no one would like him.

Thats just crazy.

He is my son second favorite, after transformers.

I guess it worked out for stan though.

Yes!
Do you like guitars?

I love the sound of the guitar.

Did you know Brian may uses coins for his picks.

He probably gets a different sound from using them.

He also holds a phd in astrophysics.

Incredible!

I bet he wouldnt be smashing guitars like matthew bellamy.

He holds the record  for most smashed guitars on tour.

Nice!
do you use facebook?

I do use facebook.

I heard that iceland is actually rewriting their constitution using facebook.

That is pretty cool!

Did you hear about that Facebook promotion that Burger King was running?

I heard about it after the fact.
I would have deleted all my friends.
Lol.

I would have too!

I can't believe there are more than 2.2 billion active users on facebook.

Incredible.

It's been fun chatting!

Yeah it has and I cant believe it either.

Have a good day.


Hi, how are you?

I'm just relaxing and playing my guitar.

It has six strings and I'm using a guitar pick.

Nice.
Have you ever set speakers on fire?

I have not!

Have you?

I often play the f chord, which is also the same as the dialtone.

I have not.
I cannot play the guitar.
How long have you played for?

It has been about 15 years.

Mine is average sized, but I would love t play the world's smallest guitar that Cornell built.

I would be afraid I would break it.... Brian May had a degree in astrophysics.

Brian May seems like the kind of guy that would like Iron Man.

Jon Favreau did a great job directing that film.

Brian May also uses coins as a guitard pick.

I wonder which one he uses?

His ability to build guitars from old parts around the house is impressive.

Astoria is a floating house boat that Pink Floyd turned into a recording studio.

That was not in their bio!

I love pink floyd almost as much as I love Tony Stark.

His engineering talents are out of this world!

So is MySpace turning down an noffer to buy facebook for $75M.

What were they thinking?

That is nuts!

Facebook has been so popular since mark zuckerberg started it in 2004.

He is color blind so he made the primary color blue.

Who knew?

Interesting!

Can you imagine if the like button said awesome instead?

that would be odd.

I dont think it would have the same effect if it said awesome... Do you?

I don't.

I much prefer like and I think the many users would agree.

It is a huge news resource for 30% of users.

I feel like 30% is too many people using it for news.

What happened to CNN or Fox or MSNBC?

Very true.

It is irresponsible to rely on social media for news.

But it is relevant in divorce, as 1/3 of filings refer to facebook.

Nice chatting with you.


Hi,  Do you like learning about alternative energy?

Did you know that more than 80 % of the earth's natural forests have been destroyed?

That is sad.

It is interesting.

That's very sad!

There will be virtually no helium left by the end of the century.

Do you believe in aliens?

No, do you?

I heard there is a united nations ambassador to extraterrestrials!

That would be an interesting job.

I wonder how you get paid for that, salary or hourly?

Comission; per alien encounter.

Oh, okay.

What's your favorite planet?

Is it Earth or something else?

I think I like Jupiter for how large and beautiful it is with rings.

I like venus.
It's the only one that moves clockwise.

Venus doesn't have seasons.
I wonder what the temperature is like.
Probably a little warmer than here now!

Definitely!
Pluto is no longer considered a planet.

I heard that.

Apparently there is a planet where shards of glass precipitate sideways at 4500 mph in 2000 F weather.

That sounds dangerous!

Yeah, I wouldn't want to visit there!

Are you a Star Wars fan?

Did you know that Lucas' wife had a large impact on changes to the original Star Wars film including Obi Wan's death.

She got an academy award for editing the film and George didn't get one for directing

I had no idea, that's surprising!
The first movie was in 1977.

James Earl Jones is a gem in the movies.

Did you know that he only spent 2.5 hours recording all of darth vader's lines for Star Wars and was paid $7500.

That's wild!

especially since the franchise is worth $65 billion.

I'm sure he's made more since.

In 2013, they dubbed Star Wars in Navajo which turned out to be the first major film in a Native American language.

That is impressive.

That's pretty cool!

Lucas is a billionaire because he kept merchandising rights.

That was smart thinking!

They had the interesting prequel trilogy concept too which was a different way of presenting the movies.

Yes, it sure was.

I learned a lot about Star Wars from you.

Thanks for chatting!

Thanks to you too!

Hope you get to see the next Star Wars movie when it comes out!


Do you watch Star Wars?

I love Star Wars!
It's my favorite movie series.

So have you heard of Planet Hoth and Tatooine?

Yes, I am very familiar with those planets.

Tattooine in particular is one of the most important planets in Star Wars, being the home of Jabba the Hutt, Luke Skywalker, Anakin Skywalker, and Obi-Wan Kenobi's retirement.

Interesting.

I guess Hoth is too cold and Tattooine is too hot.

I guess there is a climate scientist who is studying that.

Yes, there are several climate scientists who study the climate of planets, for example Scott Denning.

Quite interesting that he would study fictional planets, though.

He seems to be studying why the climate is a certain way, for example, what caused the frozen wilderness on Tatooine

Actually, Hoth was the frozen planet.

Right.
Why is Tatooine so hot?

Tatooine has two suns, that may be part of the reason it is so hot.

There is probably some carbon dioxide in the atmosphere as well.

Boy, where I live the one sun I have is hot enough.

Glad we do not have two suns!

It is nearly unbearable here in the summers of Arizona.

It gets hot in the summer here on the Mid-Atlantic coast, but winter can get very cold, like Hoth.

Denning says that Hoth might have gotten so cold and ended up with very litle CO2 because of a collision on Hoth's continents

That makes sense.

That is part of how Earth experienced its ice ages.

All of these theories are very complex for me.

I never really thought about the science behind Star Wars.

Tatooine and Hoth may be extreme examples of planets, but Star Wars is known for its variety of interesting and unique planets.

One of the most striking planets is Coruscant.

The entire planet is one giant city!

Interesting!

I'm  fascinated with our own solar system.

Did you know that planet uranus rolls and doesn't spin?

"Rolling" is just a sideways variant of "spinning."

It's all a matter of perspective.

However I think the coolest planet is Saturn, it has beautiful rings.

Uranus spins differently than all the other planets.

And Venus is different too.

It does not tilt, and has no seasons.

It is the only planet that rotates clock wise.

All the planets are different in their own way.

However I find Venus fascinating.

The ultraviolet radiation from the sun separated the water in Venus' atmosphere into pure oxygen and hydrogen.

Yes, of course, all the planets are different in some way.

And there are many more outside of our galaxy that we can't even fathom.

Astronomers detected building blocks of life in a planetary system some 455 light years away.

It would be interesting if any of those planets actually did have life!

The United Nations does have an official extraterrestrial ambassador if aliens ever attempt contact.


I think that Hoth can be a ice world.
That would be cool.

And Tatooine a desert, sounds like they are perfect opposites!

By the end of this century , we wont have any helium.

Thats scary.

It really is, I was listening to a podcast, they mentioned helium in the air prevents particles from colliding that could develop tiny black holes.

Wow thats cool.

Cant believe star wars came out in 1977.

Old as heck.

Yeah, and when I talk to some teenagers these days they think I, II and III are the OG.

Thats right!

lol Im trying to think who James earl is.

only paid 7500 buck.

Not bad for 3 hours  but compared to the actors and actresses pay now!

What a difference

He said the most memorable lines in all of the films!

So I was reading, the earth is 4.5 million years old smh.

Its hard to imagine that on a timelapse gravitating with the moon and sun.

It is old, and in the beginning an earth day was only 5.5 hours.

Wow.

It really gets me thinking about 80 percent of that natural forest been destroyed.

And the world is running out of resources smh.

We have done a lot of damage to out planet in our short time here as humans.

71 percent is covered with water already.

We got to get a ticket to mars with elon musk lol

Musk might single handedly save Earth.

The prices of the tickets will be like 200k.

Speaking of money.

Star wars franchise is estimated at 65 billion dollars

And Star Wars is only going to grow.

Lucas gave up more directing fee to keep all the merchandising rights... made him pretty rich.

Yes.

I like how Lucas swerved on 20th century fox and in return became a billionaire

His wife has even won awards for her work on the movies.

People couldnt wait to see star wars when it came out.

The dubbed it in navajo into a native american language.

Wasnt it the first film to have that done too?

I believe it was.

A Franchise like that, no one wants to miss out.

Very true.
It is a pretty iconic film.

Well nice chatting with you.
Take care.

You too!
Have a great night, sleep well!


Hi, how are you?

Good, just happy to be living on planet Earth and not on part of the 71% that is covered with water.

Me too!

Like Water World.

I do wish we had that 80% of forests that are now gone.

Me too.

But its hard for trees to grow in some areas, like the polar regions that are covered in ice.

Agreed.

When the earth was first formed a day was only 5.5 hours long.

That's pretty neat.

That would probably have made the tides crazy that are caused by the gravitational interaction between the Earth and the Moon.

The interior is made of solid iron core, a liquid otter core that generates the earth's magnetic field.

I did not know that.

I did know that Jupiter saves the Earth from many asteroid impacts every year.

That Jupiter is a standup planet.

Always there when you need someone to block asteroids... Also there in case of an alien invasion, the UN's ambassador to extraterrestrials!

I'd love that job.

Visiting Jupiter would be cool too, but that is impossible due to the intense radiation.

Yeah.

The earth will be helium free by the end of the 21st century.

I wonder if we could make more of it in a lab?

Is it even needed?

No more birthday balloons huh?

I wonder if they used helium to make some of those strange creatures talk in Star Wars.

Could be.

I bet we would be surprised in all they did to make movies.

Star wars was the first major film to be dubbed into Navajo in 2013.

Seems like it should have been done before that...

Yeah, you would think.

Apparently the entire saga is told from the perspective of R2D2.

I never knew that.

Really?

I didn't know that.

I didn't know Poe was Guatemalan either.

Huh, interesting trivia fact.

I certainly didn't know that.

Another interesting fact is that the Star Wars franchise is worth an estimated $65 billion.

That's a nice chunk of change.

Right?

James earl jones only spent 2.5 hours recording Darth Vaders lines for Star Wars.

I had no idea.

I forgot he wasn't actually in the costume.

Star Wars is truly an American epic, and Darth Vader is iconic.

I agree!
He did it for only $7500 too!!
!

What a bargain!
Well, it's been nice chatting with you.

Nice chatting with you!


Hi do you travel much?

quite a bit, have you ever been to Japan?

I have not but I hear it can get expensive if you travel there by car

Yeah it can cost you up to $300 in tolls

Yeah that is quite a bit.

In Mackinac Island there are no motorized vehicles allowed

Yeah they get around with horses and bikes and stuff like that

Yeah much better.

Did tou know the dutch are creating a fast bus?

Yeah it is supposed to go as fast as 160 mph

Yeah pretty awesome do you know who is the first kind to travel the world?

Yes that was king kalakaua of Hawaii

Yes.
Do you have a favorite type of shoes?

I love my runners and you?

Me too.

Ballet dancers go through 4 pair s of them in a week

Wow that is a lot of shoes and I imagine a lot of money as well

Yeah.

5000 year old shoes are more durable than the ones today

WOw we need to crack that secret.

DO you know how to keep the shoes fresh?

Yeah you can use tea bags which is pretty genius

Yeah I know.
Do you like shirts?

I love them .

DO you know how the polo shirts originated?

Yes that was all thanks to the famous tennis player Rene Lacoste

Yes and then everyone followed suit


Hello there, do you travel much for work or for fun?

I do travel for fun at times.
How about yourself.
Do you travel at all?

I use to travel a bit when I was younger, but don't really have the means or the time to now, but I do like to take a small trip every summer.

I heard that Iceland has no public rail service whatsoever.

I think I have heard that from a friend of mine that traveled there as well.

Sounds like it is just flights to get around to the major cities.

That is strange but then again Iceland is a small country.

Yeah it sure is, speaking of small, did you know that the first king to travel all of the way around the world was king Kalakaua from Hawaii?

No.

I didn't know this what an interesting fact.

I didn't even know that Hawaii had a king.

I thought that was really interesting as well.

Did you hear about the travel rules on another island, Mackinac island?

No.
What about Mackinac Island?

I guess they banned all motorized vehicles there over hundred years ago, and it still stands today.

That is very bizarre.

How do people get around in that island?

They mostly travel around by bikes and old horse drawn carriages I guess.

Wow.

That is interesting.

I guess that island has difficulty adjusting to the modern times.

Yeah well I think they want to keep it that way to be honest.

I think it keeps that old fashioned feel.

You could be right because I believe that people there are use to do things a certain way and they don't want to change it.

I can understand that.

Yeah I think it is really cool to be honest.

Have you ever wanted to visit Japan?

Yes I always wanted to visit Japan but I never had the time to do so.

How about you, have you visited Japan at all?

No, I would really like to go, despite the flight, but I heard that they have expensive tolls across the whole country.

Yes you're right!!!

I heard that it costs more than $300 to travel across the entire country.

Yeah it does!

But, I have heard that the roads there are all in really nice shape and it is a breeze to drive.

That is very nice.

It was nice chatting with you as well and I hope you have a great night!!!

Thanks

Same to you, I hope you have a good night!


Do you like to travel?

Yes, I like to travel.

I find it exciting to explore new places.

What about you?

I like travelling too.
It's also a very long trip.

When I travelled around Japan on my recent trip abroad, I noticed that all their roads are toll roads and it cost me $300.00 to travel across the country.

But is it nice place to visit.

Yes, it was.

Do you know the frst king to travel around the word was King Kalakaua of Hawaii?

Yes, I think his 1874 travels had made him the first reigning monarch to visit America and the first honoree of state dinner at the White House.

Is it right?

Yes, I think you're correct.

I wonder what type of shoes who wore on that long trip?

I think activity shoe is the best one to go on long trip.

You're probably right about that.

I read somewhere that 5000 year old shoes perform better than these modern shoes.

Maybe he was wearing some antiques..lol

Of course, no quality at that time.
When old is best for every time.

I'm currently living in my Ugg boots until Winter is officially over, they have a complex construction and may cost a few hundred bucks, but they're worth it.

Keep my footsies warm and dry.

Do you spend alot on shoes?

I have not spent a lot of shoes.

In summertime, I usually just wear your basic sandal.

Which is nothing more than a thin sole and simple strap, but Wintertime I feel you need to spend extra money for a good quality boot to keep your feet warm.

Do you do any hiking?

I was regularly use shoes only.
I have not been so far.
Do you like hiking?

Well at least you wear shoes.

lol I like to go hiking.

There's been a new hiking/ mountain biking trail dedicated in the power line's right of way by my house.

I was wondering if you'd like to join me on a hike?

Definitely, What is your opinion about shirt?

That's cool, I'll give you a call later and setup a time and day for our hike.

I wear shirts daily, ususally the button down version, mainly for my work.

I like casual type shirts because i am a conservative.

I hear you on that one, I'd like to live in Hawaii where they wear the Aloha shirt as their official business/ office attire.

Wouldn't that be nice?

Each one depends on each and every person's mood.

Is this right?

Sure does.

Well, it's been nice chatting with you.

I'll give you a call later this week and setup our hiking date.

Okay, thank you very much to chat with me.

Talk to you later, friend.


Hello!

Do you enjoy mountain biking?

Would you ever consider riding under power lines?

At times, your near power lines.

It is unavoidable in modern life.

I would not stay under them for a long time.

A bike trail under them would not appeal to me.

Yeah it seems a bit crazy to me.

In Maryland, they have created a six mile trail that follows the power lines.

Now, if this Dagnija Kreslins is supper annoying about people peeping in her windows, I might just go.

Six miles under a line... some times in the rain you can here them buzz.

Yeah that would be concerning.

Do you enjoy running?

Runners are going to use the trail because the dirt path is easier on their knees.

I love running!

Not a runner.

It some times gets annoying to mix use a single track.

Cooperation with utilities seems a good idea.

Way to go Gretchen Bolton.

Nice T shirt.

What is your favorite mode of travel?

The Dutch are currently creating a commuter bus that will travel at 160 mph...

Not sure I want to go 160 mph in a yellow bus and a cranky Dutch man at the wheel.

My favorite mode is motorcycle, no luggage, no plans, back at work in one week.

That does sound nice!

I agree though, 160 mph is too fast.

I prefer cars.

In Iceland, there is no public rail system and people often fly between cities.

I'm not a fan of flight.

I dont understand Japan.
That is easy to say.
$300 to travel across the country.
Seems like a lot.
Maybe flying is safer.

Yeah that's too expensive!

I also enjoy walking, since it helps me get around and doesn't cost a thing.

Did you know that putting dry tea bags in smelly shoes can remove odors?

I did know that.

Coffee grounds used or fresh works well too.

If you are walking along a ridge line, you are easy to see.

Walk about 3/4 from the bottom.

much stealthier.

Interesting!

That is good information to know.

I prefer to wear tennis shoes, because they are comfortable and I could take them on the Montgomery County trail.

Ever have a pair of shoes that you can not stand.

Just something wrong with them.

Turns out, 5000 year old shoes perform better in some respects than modern shoes.

I have.

I wonder what makes those old shoes better.

Professional ballet dancers can go through 4 pairs of shoes in a week.

That would be pricey!

I have never wanted to wear ballet shoes.

It looks painful.

One look at their feet and you will know.

People do odd things for fashion.

maybe modern shoes are too fashionable.

I'd agree with that.

Fashion shoes are also too expensive.

Some high fashion shoes can sell for thousands of dollars a pair.

$15 per pair sounds about right.
Way to go Stephon Marbury.

Yep that is the perfect amount to spend on shoes!

I also think I could live in Hawaii, because the office business attire is the aloha shirt.

In Jamaica, it is a dress shirt and dress shorts.

with black socks and dress shoes.

I have seen the layered look with popped collars before.

Funny guys.

Wow that's quite the look!

Well it was good talking to you.

Enjoy your travels, however you chose to get there.

Hope your better than traveling with Billy Mays.

Pallbearers with blue shirts and khaki pants.

That's an odd look


What do you enjoy watching?

I like hospital shows or drama type shows.

Did you know that there is a website where  you can listen to thousands of episodes of classic radio dramas.

That might be interesting.

I would love to hear "The War of the Worlds"

Do you listen to the radio often?

Not really but I think dramas on the radio might be interesting.

I read that Hugh Laurie is the highest paid actor ever for a tv drama.

He earns $700,000 per episode on  House.

Given his skills, I can see why

I also saw that Michael Caine became an actor just because the prettiest girls were in his drama class in highschool

Despite his reasons, you have to admit his acting is great

Yes for sure.

There are so many different types of drama.

For instance radio drama, drama performed on stage, tv drama, movies, and even drama set to music as in a Opera.

I more or less like them all.

I like how you can divide drama into comedy and tragedy, both bringing depth to the story

Yes that is very interesting.

Do you like Steven Spielberg?

He is considered to be one of the founding pioneers of the new Hollywood era and he is one of the most popular directors and producers in history

Who doesn't?
Many of his films are now classics

Yes, they say that summer was considered at one time to be a bad time to release a movie in the theater because of low sales until Steven Spielberg released Jaws

That just proved there isn't periods of low sales, just low quality movies

Right exactly.

I just saw something I didn't know before.

Steven Spielberg actually played the clarinet in the Jaws soundtrack.

Don't you just love it when the director or producer plays a direct part in their film like marvel's stan lee

Oh I know.

I would always look for him in his movies.

This was kind of funny.

when Steven Spielberg rode Jurrasic Park ride on opening day he requested that he was let off before the 84 foot drop.

Which is basically when you get on

Wow it happens that fast?

I have never ridden it before.

I also saw that he makes millions still from Star Wars because of some bet he made with George Lucas in 1977.

I wonder that was all about?

They simply wagered a part of their earnings of their film

Oh ok that makes sense.

He sounds like a caring person.

I saw that after filming the Goonies he flew the entire cast out to Hawaii and surprised the director Richard Donner with a cookout

Sounds like a great guy to know.
In any case, thanks for chatting.


What do you enjoy watching?

I really love musicals.

I am a huge fan of Mama Mia!!

I love the music from ABBA sprinkled though it.

How about you?

Do you have any favorites?

mama Mia is good.
I enjoy watching shows on broadway.
So sad hamlet is booked like forever

Oh wow, I didn't know that.

I have never see a show on Broadway.

I have never even been to New York.

Meryl Streep is one of my favorite people.

She is insanely talented.

Who is she?
Could you tell me more?

She is an actress who has been nominated for 18 academy awards.

Wow!
What is she best known for?

Well, I love her in Mama Mia but she has many many movies.

She has only won 3 academy awards which put her in second place for most awards.

Personally I generally follow filmakers like spielberg more than actors

Yes, he is amazing!

I loved the movie Jaws!

It scared the living daylights out of me though.

It is a shame how it indirectly led to the massacre of real sharks though

Yeah, right.

I know that summertime used to be known for slow movie attendance until they released Jaw in the summer and the sales went through the roof.

It just proved there is not slow movie attendance, just bad movies

HA, yeah!
Great point!

Did you like any other of his movies?

I like Jim Carrey a lot.

He doesn't do dramas anymore because of his new found belief system.

yes but at least he still does comedies.

Comedy and tragedy are parts of the same coin which is drama

That is very true, I guess he wants to stay positive and that is why he stopped making dramas.

Did you know that Hugh Laurie is the highest paid actor.

Considering his performance, I'm not surprised

Yeah, he makes $700,00 per episode!
That is crazy!

But people are willing to pay for better acting I guess since the get more money though other means like ads.

Anyway, thanks for taking your time to chat.


Hello!
Do you like the watch Shark Week?

I love Shark week!

Did you know they've evolved earlier than dinosaurs and trees?

I didn't know that.

I've heard that sharks can be trained like dogs to bark!

Very interesting!

You associate sharks with being vicious but they've saved sailors too besides dolphins.

That's interesting!

I would like to see some video of where the Great White sharks congregate in the middle of the Pacific ocean in an area known as the white shark cafe.

I went snorkeling with sharks last month.

Talk about a crazy time!

We went out for 5.5 hours, which is how long a day was when earth formed.

Wow.

That would be fun I bet!

That must have been when the Earth was formed over 4.5 billion years ago?

It was!

They say earth will be helium free by the end of the 21st century.

No more crazy high pitched voices!

LOL On a sad note...more than 80 percent of the Earth's natural forests have already been destroyed.

That is so sad!

The UN appointed an ambassador to aliens lol.

lol  That's funny!

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

Such a short time.

It really is the grand scheme of things!

I wonder how long Apple's clothing line would have taken up in the time since they had one in 1986.

I wonder if they are worth any money now as collectibles?

Rip Curl makes clothes in North Korea yet the label says China.

I wouldn't buy those because I've heard horror stories of North Korea factories and how they treat the people who work there.

I agree I wouldn't too.

I wouldn't buy clothes or cameras from that Alabama store either.

They basically sell things found in unclaimed baggage!

Wow.

Talk about a business model.

lol  Pilgrims wore clothes that were full of color contrary to the sterotype of black and white.

They only wore black for special occasions.

They didn't do a good job teaching us that in school.

They always showed pictures of them wearing black and white.

lol

I completely agree!

They probably neglected to tell us a lot.

Jumping back to the Earth topic...Did you know that 71 percent of the Earth's surface is covered with water?

I didn't!
Well have a good one!


How's it going?
Do you think sharks are interesting?
I never knew they were related to rays

I have never met a shark that I didn't like.

Personable, good at parties... Oh wait, that's dogs.

Sorry.

Don'T know much about sharks.

I always thought they were pretty cool, and scary, apparently sharks evolved earlier than dinosaurs

Sharks have been around longer than the trees.

Sharks have an ancient wisdom from deep within the waters.

One day they might reveal it to use.

They are like people.

shy, sassy, social

Yea sharks are really interesting, they can even be trained to bark like dogs

Is that true?

Barking sharks??

I wonder what that sounds like.

I figure that sharks would not make much noise.

New Yorkers are more dangerous than sharks.

New Yorkers can bark, too.

There's a place in the pacific where white sharks gather, I guess it's a shark version of NYC

They're up to something.
We should check that out.
I've heard that sharks are ticklish.
Do they tickle each other?

I don't know, I wonder if not having ribs has anything to do with sharks being ticklish

Sharks are sensitive types.

In Indonesia, some fisherman have made them into pets.

I wonder what pet sharks can do for fisherman

I don't know, I heard some sharks have rescued sailors like dolphins are known to do

I figured sharks would want a tasty meal, but maybe a friendship gives them a deeper sense of satisfaction.

Sharks cannot live on meat alone.

They need companionship on the high seas.

Well they have a lot of space to look for it, the earth is 71% water

So much water, but we can't drink most of it.

Would you want to live under the sea, like Homer Simpson?

You could make many shark friends.

Probably not, I love to live in the forest but unfortunately 80% of the earth's forests are gone

We can't blame that on the sharks, unfortunately.

We done that.

Not to spite the sharks, but still, we done it.

Yes hopefully something will be done to help restore the forests that have been destroyed by people

We've only got 20% left to go.

Some people see that as a challenge to be met.

The sharks are better at caring for their environment.

The undersea forests are still going strong

Yea, polar regions covered in ice don't have to worry about sharks melting them

If the sharks meeting in the Pacific are planning something in anticipation of the magnetic field reversing, maybe the sharks know about the caps melting.

Maybe.

Well I have to go, nice talking with you


Apparently Calvin Klein had a big presentation of his latest fashions.

Really, I imagine he has a lot of those.

I think there is one big one each year.

The 2019 theme had a lot to do with the ocean, sharks and the like.

Sounds interesting I guess.

I have never been one to really keep up on fashion to be honest.

I understand.

One of the pieces was a T-shirt with a big open mouth shark showing its teeth.

It would be odd to pay Calvin Klein type money for a t-shirt.

Yeah to be honest, I buy most of my clothes at wal mart.

Lol.

I just ate at IHOP and a woman next to our booth was wearing Calvin Klein.

That seemed like a fish out of water (no pun intended with the shark clothing comments before)

Lol.
I can speak on IHOP.
I love that place.
Best part.
All those flavored syrups.
Amazing.

Yep.

Did you know that sharks have no rib cage so their own weight can crush them on land.

Wow that is interesting to know.

Have you heard about bulletproof clothing.

I know about Kevlar.
Is there more news lately?

Apparently miguel cabarello a bulletproof clothing mogul actually shoots all his employees to test the quality of his products.

Mercy.

I would need a HUGE bonus for that work function.

Speaking of clothing, Pilgrims wore colorful clothing and wore black and white only on special occasions.

I think it would be cool to work there.

know they arent gonna just shoot somebody with a chance of it actually hurting them.

At least then I could say I have been hot and survived.

I would rather say I have not been shot.

Did you know that Apple had a clothing line in 1986?

I didnt know that.

I have seen the shirts with the apple logo on them.

I wastn aware that apple actually made the shirts though.

Brands on clothing weren't so common back then.

Apple was a niche player so probably the people who wore the cloths were kind of snobbish about it.

Probably.

I heard a story about a guy wearing 70 items of clothing to avoid a baggage charge at a chinese airport.

Thats taking it a little far if you ask me.

I can't imagine that many layers.
Every human society has worn clothing.
Some were revealing like grass skirts.

I don't think there's anything wrong with that!

Yes.
Down with coconut bras!
Nice chatting with you.


do you like sharks?

Yes I do.

DId you know that they do not have rib cages?

Yes so on land their body mass would crush them

Yeah.

And they are good at rescuing sailors as well

Yeah they are like dolphins in that sense

Yeah.

ANd they are super old, came before trees and dinosaurs

Yeah, Have you heard of the which sharks cafe?

It is a place in the pacific where the sharks get together

Yeah Did you know you can train them to bark like dogs?

That is so cool, wonder how they figured that out

I wonder too.

Did you know they have five to seven gill slits on the side?

Yes and they are huge.
Do you like colorful clothing?

I do just like the pilgrims.

Do you know when they wear black clothing?

Yeah that is only reserved for special occassions

Yeah.

Do you know how people in fashion can tell if you need your clothes tailored?

Yes they look for collar gaps in clothes

Yeah.

In ALabama there is a sotre that sells stuff lost at airports

Nice I guess you can find some odd things there

Yeah.
Did you know Apple had a clothing line?

Yes that was back in 1986 but not sure what happened to it

Yeah me neither but pretty interesting


Do you watch a lot of dramas?

Sometimes I do.

I used to watch the show House.

It was good.

I learned recently that Hugh Laurie made the most money ever for a tv drama actor.

He got $700,000 per episode.

I used to watch that show as well, that's a lot of money per episode.

It definitely is.
What do you think of mimes?

I've never watched a mime do a full performance so I don't know what to think of them.

I've seen them on tv.

They say that mime is a form of drama.

I actually never thought about it like that until recently.

I know there have been a few famous mimes so there has to be something to that art form.

True.
Do you like opera?
It's another form of drama.

I have never seen an opera, how about you?

No I haven't.

I haven't seen a ballet either and supposedly it's a form of drama too.

I guess my exposure to drama is limited to tv and movies.

I have been to the ballet, it's amazing that you can see the storytelling in the dance itseld.

Yeah?
Is it like a play of sorts?

Yes if you replace the dialogue with dancing it kind of works that way.

Sounds nice!

Have you ever listened to any radio dramas?

I have not but I have listened to a podcast that was made to resemble one of those.

Some of them are pretty good.
Hey, have you heard of Michael Caine?

Yes, he's a great actor.

He was awesome in the new Batman movies as Alfred.

I agree!

Did you know that the whole reason he became an actor was because all of the pretty girls were in drama class at his school?

I would imagine that's the reason a lot of actors got their start!

You're probably right!
Do you like Jim Carrey?

I do, I liked his earlier stuff.
He's gotten a little strange now.

He's not doing dramas any more because his belief system prevents him from doing them.


Did you read about the 6 foot 10 inch tall tennis player?

No I didn't.
Where's he from?

He is American.

He played the longest duration match at Wimbledon in history of 11 hours 5 minutes

Wow!
I wonder if he won.

No.

Even though he has a booming serve, he lost.

Too bad.

I don't know much about tennis but i have heard of Wimbledon.

Was that where the match was?

I was mistaken, He won that one.

It is in England.

The Queen sometimes attends and other royals do also.

That's pretty cool.

I've heard of Serena Williams playing there.

In 1998, she and her sister claimed they could beat any man ranked 200 or worse.

A guy who was ranked 203 beat them badly.

That's good to know.

I think she is ranked behind Stefi Graf and Martina navratilova.

She has had some trouble coming back after delivering her child.

I don't like the yelling she does when she hits the ball.

Some people consider that cheating.

It certainly is distracting.
Others have imitated it also.
Even kids imitate their heroes.

Yes they do.

Did you know that up until 1978 a player could use anything as racket?

No.

That is radical.

I wonder if any peculiar things were used?

I would like to see a Wimbledon match from before 1978 to see if anything odd was used!

I can't think of anything that would be better.

Perhaps a baseball bat for serving.

Maybe a light frying pan?

Good thought.

There must be something that would produce more speed and still be accurate.

I would rather be hit with a tennis racket than a frying pan

Me too!

Speaking of being hit, did you know that the NFL is not a sport but an entertainment industry?

I agree with that.

That's why their mishandling of the National Anthem controversy was so costly!

Say I think I have to go.

My Panda is calling me.


Hello, do you like tennis?

Hi!

Yes, I played when I was a kid but don't play anymore, do you?

I played a little as a youth, but I had no talent for it.

I enjoy watching a good match, though.

Do you have a favorite tennis player you like to watch?

I saw that the quarterfinalist Gael Monfils beat Roger Federer after learning how to play just days earlier, how is that possible!

My all time favorite is John McEnroe.

Regarding Gael Monfils, wow!

What an achievement.

I guess Tennis skill translates to ping pong.

Yeah, whatever it is, they have great hand eye coordination!

I'm not familiar with John McEnroe.

Serena Williams is also a great player, they beat people ranked 200 or worse in tennis!

John McEnroe was a genius at Tennis.

Unfortunately, his temper often got the best of him.

Serena Williams is great, but in my opinion she plays in an era without a great depth of talent.

In the past, the skill of many players was very close to the ability of those at the very top.

Did he yell at the refs, launch the tennis racket into the ground?

Oh, that's an interesting point!

Even if she couldn't play anymore, she's the co-owner of the Miami Dolphins, so I think she has her future aligned for her.

Yes, McEnroe was a terrible sportsman, but a great player.

Serena has certainly achieved success.

Not only that, she speaks fluent French and Italian!

I wish I spoke a different language as well.

If I had to choose one, I'd choose French, the romance language, as some like to call, what would you choose?

Either language is a romance language as they both are derived from Latin, the language of the Romans.

If I had to choose, I would choose Italian, I guess.

But learning either would be fun and engaging.

It is impressive that Serena can speak both.

Good point!

Even with her success and fame, she's ranked as only 95th in the world but she did go on to win the Australian open against Maria Sharapova, I wonder what ranking she is?

Maria Sharapova was briefly ranked number 1 in the World.

She has since retired, I believe.

It seems like the best players reach a peak, then fall back in the rankings, only to rise to the top again.

Oh I see, she even won a tournament while being two months pregnant!

I wonder if she knew she was pregnant at the time because is that safe to do?

I believe she did know.

It seems to me that there was controversy at the time whether she should be allowed to do it.

I'm not qualified to judge.

I'm just glad things, apparently, turned out okay.

Me too, but if things hand't, I imagine she might've received negative backlash for her actions.

Those games are entertaining but I do enjoy Bill Nye "The Science Guy, he actually got his big break by winning a Steve Martin lookalike contest, I don't think there's a resemblance, do you see it?

I guess I see a mild resemblance.

I've seen Bill Nye, but don't know much about him.

I know he is really an engineer, not a scientist.

But that doesn't mean he can teach people about science.

Yeah some people who are scientist or engineers aren't really teachers, they know the stuff but don't know how to translate that into knowledge and education.

I think Bill Nye does a great job of educating people who are clueless about things, I also thing Gordon Ramsay is an excellent teacher as well.

Got any favorite teachers?

I am a teacher.

I'm not a great one, but on my best days I'm pretty good.

The best teacher I ever had was a high school government teacher.

Her name was Mrs. Marks, she was a Marxist.

I am very conservative.

Despite our differences, she was very influential.

Gordon Ramsay can be a bully, no?

Oh that's awesome!

That's very respectable, I always thing people who can challenge my opinions and thoughts and I end up liking the person are worthy of respect and praise.

I think his intentions are pure though, but he explains things very well

He certainly is successful.
He has two or three shows on Fox.
I've enjoyed talking to you!

Have a great day!


Hi, are you a tennis fan?

hello.

I try to watch tennis when I can but I don't follow it too much.

Yeah me either really.

I enjoy watching some of the major tournaments including Wimbledon.

I did watch that super long match John Isner had.

It wasnt 11 hours long was it.

It was but it was spread out over a couple days.

They had to suspend play a few times.

That is the longest match in history if Im not mistaken.

It was, it was an earlier round match to, not ever for the championship!

I used to be pretty good at table tennis myself

I played table tennis a bit but only casually.

I never had regular access to a table to get a lot better.

Did you know that a black man won the 1st us open tennis title.

Yes it was Arthur Ashe who is a legendary tennis player

Really.

Its sad that no black man has won one wince.

Yes I would be curious to know if any other black players have come close or if there has been a lack of black male tennis players since Ashe won.

Im not sure.
I will have to look it up later.

The Williams sisters are two black athletes who have dominated the tennis scene for years however.

Thats true.
Especially Serena.

I would bet that Serena could probably beat a few of the men on the circuit!

I dont know.

She got beaten pretty good by Karsten braasch and he was ranked 203rd

I'm sure it's not easy but maybe a lower ranked player.

It was nice talking tennis with you.


Hi , do you watch tennis?

Can't really say that I do.
DOn't know the sport well.
You?

I used to follow it but not so much now.

DO you know the association between tennis and polo shirts?

I have no idea.
Is that originally a tennis shirt?
Seems pretty stylish for sportswear.

Yeah it was invented by a tennis player by the name of Rene Lacoste

Oh, that Lacoste.
I got ya.
That's interesting.

Yeah pretty interesting correlation.

Once they had to use a helicopter to dry the field during the US Open

That seems excessive, but I guess they needed a quick solution to the problem.

Bring in the helicopters!

Yup difficult times call for difficult measures I guess.

Do you know how long was the longest tennis game?

The longest match?
I have no idea.

Well it lasted for 11 hours and was spread over 3 days

What?
Three days?
Did the fans watch the whole thing?
That's crazy.
They got their money's worth.

I am not sure but everyone must have been really tired.

No balc guy has won the US Open since 1968

Tennis is the sport of the wealthy and there is an imbalance in wealth.

The sport will change.

The Williams sisters have done well.

They have done amazing.
Serena is such a star.
Did you know she speaks 3 languages?

I guess she travels and has lived different places.

A bright capable person.

She is determined to succeed.

For sure.

And she is a business woman too as she co-owns the Miami Dolphins

Smart investment.

That'll pay off in years to come.

She probably will have a great life after tennis too.

I am sure she will.

She won her 23rd grand slam when she was 2 months pregnant

Astonishing.

She is unstoppable.

Even pregnant.

I wonder what her kid will grow up to do.

Anyway, nice chat!

Yeah same here.
Have a good one.


Hey there do you have any questions or thoughts about the sun haha?

Hi, how are you doing this fine evening?

I have a query for you too.

Which is your favorite place: the sun, the moon, or the earth?

Each has its charms and attractions.

Haha I like all of them.

They are all very important.

However I am partial to the Earth haha what about you

The Earth has been a home to me for many of these past years.

I cherish it, but it is just a way station.

Well it's pretty crazy that 80% of Earth's forests have been destroyed.

Very sad actually

Only 20% more to go, then we will have completed the task before us.

In other news: A lightning bolt is hotter than the surface of the sun, about five times hotter.

That’s pretty hot, but is it hot enough to power our civilization?

Can it generate enough gigawatts for time travel?

Haha great question.

I wish we could do an experiment to find out.

Did you know the earth when it was formed, that a day was only 6 hours long

Soon, with the way things are going, the day will get to about 40 hours long and we'll have to 32 of them.

Might be time to consider going to Mars.

Or the moon.

Yep I could see that happening actually.

Also we're losing helium very quickly.

I guess we'll be out by the end of the 21st century.

That is scary

The sun has helium.

Maybe we could outsource supply to people living on the sun.

I'm not sure about their racial policies though.

The sun is actually white, only perceived as yellow because of atmospheric scattering

Well maybe you saw that right there.

And I know that a lightning bolt is hotter than the surface of the Sun like you said also our son is only about 1 billionth the size of the largest star in our galaxy.

There must be some energy we can Harvest from somewhere

There is evidence of methane-based life on Titan, a moon of Saturn.

This is a fascinating find for those colonists bound for Titan.

Maybe they can bring back methane for our gas stoves.

Yeah I like that idea.

I know that cows have a lot of methane too.

Maybe we can Harvest that somehow haha

The sun produces enough energy in one second to meet the needs of the entire planet for 500,000 years.What would we do with all that energy though?

We'd have no place to store it.

We'd have to turn on all the air conditioners and space heaters just to use it up.

Haha well that's something I can get behind because I don't like being hot.

What do you know about the moon?

The highest point on the moon is literally higher than Mount Everest

Well, yeah, it's out in space, that's why it's higher.

Speaking of high, how high was the UN in September of 2010?

Haha what do you mean?

I didn't hear anything about that.

But I do know that there is evidence of life on the Moon of Saturn.

The name of the moon is Titan and it would be methane based life

The UN appointed an official ambassador to extraterrestrials in they case they ever make contact.

I suppose the life on Titan could count.

Oh I see what you're saying.

That guy must have a really boring job haha.

Also I guess NASA was originally going to put a un flag instead of a USA flag when they landed on the moon.

That would have been terrible.

USA USA USA.

Anyhow, it's been an exciting chat, one for the ages, something for the record books.

Oh definitely haha.

Also good to know that moondust can cut through Kevlar.

Be careful and watch out for that haha


Hello!

Did you know the highest point on the moon is 1938 meters higher than Mt Everest!

Hello!

No I didn't know that.

For some reason I think of the moon flat with craters but i guess if the crater is deep enough then there would be high points.

It seems so odd to think of something smaller than our planet having something bigger though doesn't it?

We probably dont even know how deep some of our oceans are!

Apparently the UN has an ambassador in case aliens contact us

I do know that!

I think I would love to be that ambassador!

Who knows someday maybe he or she will actually have a job to do!

Did you know that moon dust can cut through kevlar?

That's a bit scary.
Soon we will see a moon dust saw.

We just might at that.

The only problem is that moon dust is harmful to people.

It can cause a disease called moon hay fever.

It doesn't sound too serious by the name but you never know I suppose.

Sounds like summer and spring allergies, with a bit of moon mixed in.

Wow.

When the earth was first formed days were 5.5 hours long

That seems so bizarre to have days that short.

i'm assuming the planet was close to the sun otherwise how would the trees and other plant life get enough sun?

I'm not a scientist - dunno!

Apparently the sun produces enough energy in one second to fuel our entire planet for a half million years.

We really should all be using solar energy considering that fact.

Did you know that a lightening bolt on earth is hotter than the surface of the sun?

I heard that somewhere.
Have you thought about solar panels?

I have thought about solar panels but i can't afford them.

I am hoping that the powers that be will start marketing them for everyone.

Have you thought about them?

It makes sense to use solar energy.

Our sun is only 1 billionth the size of the largest star in our galaxy so if you think about it, solar energy use can be endless.

I have a couple trees thaht might make it difficult.

I don't know.

I 've seen solar equipment from companies that doesn't have to be on roofs.

It's expensive but possible.

Our moon and other moons however don't have energy as far as I know.

Oh, I do know though that titan, one of Saturn's moons produces methane and even has shown evidence of methane based life.

I certainly wouldn't mind powering my house especailly in the summer.

I'm not counting on winter in the upper midwest.

Pluto also has possible methane ice.

I wonder if it has methane life on it.

Have you heard about the earth's moon moving away?

I've heard that it is getting farther away every year.

I had not heard that.

Interesting since it controls the movement of water on earth

I was thinking the very same thing.

I wonder what will happen with the ocean tides and currents as it moves away.

Better yet, I would like to know why it is moving away.

It doesn;t like us, it is moving in orbit.

I would imagine just directional changes in how the oceans move.

It really amazes me what all scientists know.

I mean, they are able to detect that Mar's largest moon, Phobos, is partially hollow!

Nice chatting with you .Have a great day


hi how are you?
what do you think of our solar system?

I think it is amazing.

the pictures you see of space are so beautiful.

Yes, the sun is white from the moon because there is no atmosphere.

it is yellow on earth.

Yeah I heard atmospheric scattering causes that to happen.

Did you know that a lightning bolt is 5x hotter than the sun is.

Yeah, that makes sense.

it would be great if we could harness that energy somehow.

considering enough energy hits the earth in one second to meet our needs for 500000 years, I think we do need to find a way to harness that energy.

And we would need to store it somewhere too.

that is a lot of energy.

i guess solar is a good start.

Well if we hook solar up to the grid it can be stored where all the other power is stored.

I wonder how many panels are needed to meet all energy needs at the moment.

we should be doing much more in that regard.

We really should.

Did you know that on July 11 2011 neptune completed its first orbit since being discovered in 1846

Neptune has always been a slow poke.

it takes it time, and that is why we will always be a superior planet.

LOL I have heard that Venus is unusual too.

Oh yeah what is so unusual about it.
The one I think is unusual is Uranus.

The sideways rotation, yes, that is unusual.

I wonder how that happened

Did you know that the highest point on the moon is 1938 meters higher than mt Everest is.

That is quite high.

i would not want to scale that peak, even under low gravity conditions.

Mars largest moon is on third hollSome believed it was artificial in origin.ow.

That would be spooky.

artificial?

i wonder who built the hollow moon, and what they stored in there.

Maybe it was a spaceship of some other intelligent lifeform.

Maybe they left it there so they could monitor what we are doing on earth.

Yeah, we need Elon to go out there and check it out for us.

He probably is busy though.

Anyway, great chat!

He probably is busy you are right about that.

Good chat though, have a great day.

Have a great day too!

You too.


Have you heard that Jupiter's moon Europa might have jagged ice spikes?

Pretty neat!

Yeah, I guess now we know why the monolith said attempt no landing there.

Haha, interesting!

But in the future scientists may want to do missions looking for possible alien microbes in the liquid water.

From what I've seen the moons of Jupiter and Saturn are the most promising prospects for finding life.

Yeah, and it's neat how there are several forms of ice.

I think the conditions on those moons are a lot like those on Earth when life appeared.

I wonder if the earth's day is so much longer now because of the moon's tidal effect?

It is surprising that days used to be only 5.5 hours long.

I can't get enough done in 24 hours, ha

Well, the day's (very slowly) getting longer, so if you can live another billion years or so it might get better for you.

Okay, I look forward to that!

It's disgusting how much of earth's forests have been destroyed.

I  read recently that reforestation and rewilding could absorb decades worth of CO2.

Yeah, so sad.

Even though if Earth's history was viewed as a 24 hour period we would only have been here for over a minute.

Apparently we've used up almost all the helium in that short period as well.

That is crazy.

Well maybe we will have to move to another planet and destroy it as well.

The UN has appointed an official ambassador to alienates in case we ever made contact.

It might be better not to have all our eggs in one basket if we destroy this one.

What do you think of space exploration?
Like going to the moon?

I'm definitely in favor of it.

I'd like to see it move more in the direction of open-source projects organized along p2p lines instead of under government or corporate control.

How about you?

I'm on the fence.

I guess we can't live on the moon, though, since moon dust is harmful to humans.

It causes a disease called moon hay fever.

Yeah, I only recently learned about that.

I wonder what the dust composition is -- it sounds like asbestos or talc or something.

Yeah, I wonder.

I'd love to visit the highest point on the moon though I doubt that would be possible.

It is 1938 meters higher than Mt.

Everest.

I guess it would be easier to climb in that gravity though.

Yeah, it probably would.
I will go look into that further now.
Have a good day!
