Are you a fan of Google or Microsoft?

Both are excellent technology they are helpful in many ways.

For the security purpose both are super.

I'm not  a huge fan of Google, but I use it a lot because I have to.

I think they are a monopoly in some sense.

Google provides online related services and products, which includes online ads, search engine and cloud computing.

Yeah, their services are good.

I'm just not a fan of intrusive they can be on our personal lives.

Google is leading the alphabet subsidiary and will continue to be the Umbrella company for Alphabet internet interest.

Did you know Google had hundreds of live goats to cut the grass in the past?

It is very interesting.

Google provide "Chrome OS" which is a light weight OS.

Google provided a lot of hardware mainly in 2010 to 2015.

I like Google Chrome.
Do you use it as well for your browser?

Yes.Google is the biggest search engine and Google service figure out top 100 website, including Youtube and Blogger.

By the way, do you like Fish?

Yes.

They form a sister group of tourniquets- they make the sea water clean and remove the dust from it.

Fish is the biggest part in the eco-system.

Did you know that a seahorse is the only fish to have a neck?

Freshwater fish only drink water through the skin via Osmosis, Saltwater fish drink water through the mouth.

Dolphins are friendly to human beings.

Interesting, they also have gills.

Did you know that jellyfish are immortal?

Yes.

Fish is the important resources of human world wide for the commercial and subsistence fish hunts the fish in the wild fisheries.

What about cats, do you like cats?
I'm a dog fan myself.

The cat is referred as domestic cat and wild cat.

They make our world very clean from rats!

Yeah, cats can be cool, but they sure do spend a lot of their time sleeping.

Cats hear the sounds too faint or too high frequency human ears can hear.

I heard that too.
Well, it was nice chatting with you.
Have a good day.


do you like dance?

Yes  I do.

Did you know Bruce Lee was a cha cha dancer?

Yes he even won a hardcore cha cha championship in 1958

Yeah.
Did you know Tupac was a ballet dancer?

Yes and he even was in the production of the nutcracker

Yeah.

Ballet dancer go through 4 pairs of shoes a week

Yes that is a lot of shoes and also a lot of money

Yeah true.

Did you know babies are really good at dancing?

Yes and they smile more when they hit the beat

Yeah they are much smarter than we give them credit for

True Did you know Jackson had a patent on a dancing device?

Yes it helped him smooth out his dance moves

Nice.
Do you like Shakespeare?

Yes I do.

Do you know that he popularized many phrases

Yes like good riddance, in my heart of hearts and such

Yes and then he also invented names like Jessica, Olivia and Miranda

Yes.

And for his works you have to use old english for it to make sense

Yes otherwise the rhymes and puns do not seem to work out

Yes.

He lived at the same time as Pocahontas too

I wonder if they met how that would go from there

Yeah interesting point.
Nice chat


Hey what's up do use Google very often?I really love the company and was surprised to hear that it was founded back in 1998.

i think everyone must use it daily!
its become ingrained in every day life

Agreed.

The Google headquarters in Mountain View California is nicknamed the Google Plex.

thats funny.

The current CEO is Sundar Pichai, i didnt know Larry Page was replaced

Oh yeah I didn't know that either.

I also want to go to google Plex to see the goats who mow their lawn by eating it.

say what now??
they have that?

Yeah apparently lol!

They do that instead of hiring people to mow!

thats both funny and i guess imaginative.

leave it to a huge tech company to employ actual goats!

Yeah exactly I am sure they are cheaper.

One thing I bet they couldn't exploit is fish.

I think fish are so cool there is actually a breed of jellyfish that is immortal.

i had rememered hearing about that before.

Immortatlity is wasted on a jellyfish haha.

did you know a seahorse is the only fish that has an actual neck?

That is so funny I guess I never considered a seahorse a fish.

The black swallower fish sounds a lot like a snake because it can eat pray that is so large.

i guess they live up to their name then!

It seems they do.

I also didn't know that there was a difference with how freshwater and saltwater fish drink.

thats crazy.

i wonder why fresh water ones only use osmosis?

Yeah and saltwater fish are lucky because they can do that and drink through their mouth's.

seems like fresh water fish got the short end of the stick with that one.

Have you ever been to a cat cafe?

I have never been to a cat cafe no, what about you?

Seems like they are popular in Japan and Taiwan.

no but I would love to!

paying hourly to hang out with adorable cats?

im in!

Yeah that would be a lot of fun.

I didn't realize that cats sleep so much.

Must be nice.

i guess thats where the phrase "cat nap" comes from

Oh yeah I guess so ha ha.

There's even a town in Alaska that has a mayor cat.


Hi!
do you like to dance?

I love to dance a lot.
How about you?

I am really bad, but it is a good time.

Dancing is a lot of fun.

Did you know that Bruce Lee was a great dancer?

I heard that, winning Cha Cha championships and everything!

Yes that is amazing.

He won the Hong Kong cha-cha championship back in 1958 in fact.

I always just thought of him as a martial arts legend.

Now he is a dance legend of sorts too!

Yeah!!

That is correct.

He was a fantastic martial artist.

Did you know that Tupac danced ballet in high school?

Yeah!

He was the mouse king in the Nutcracker.

Thats pretty cool, I would definitely never have guessed that about him.

Neither did I.

That is insane because Tupac was a famous rapper.

He was indeed, his music is even in the library of congress.

I didn't know this thanks for sharing.

Sure thing!

Did you hear about Michael Jackson's special patent shoes?

No.

I know that Michael Jackson was a fantastic dancer but can you tell me more about his patent shoes if you don't mind.

There was a specific device in his shoes that helped with his extreme lean in some dance moves.

Wow!!!

That is amazing coming from such a talented singer and dancer.

I couldn't even dance like that even if I dreamed of it.

Me neither.
I could never be a professional dancer.

I heard that some professional ballet dancer can go through four pairs of shoes in a week.

That is crazy!
That can't be cheap for them.

No.

I think its very expensive for them to be professional ballet dancers based on this.

It has been great chatting but I must go!

Gotta go get my Bruce Lee on, the martial arts part...  definitely not the dance.

Ha Ha!!!

It was so nice chatting with you as well!!

Have a nice day!!!

Bye

Bye


do you like dance?

I love it.
Did you know Bruce Lee was a dancer?

Yes he even won a cha cha championship in 1958

Yeah.

Did you know ballet dancers use a lot of shoes?

Yes they go through 4 pairs in a single week

Yeah that is a lot of shoes and also a lot of money

Yeah.

Babies are also really good at dancing when they hear music

Yes and they smile more when they hit the beat

Yeah pretty cute.
Did you know Tupac was a ballet dancer?

Yes he was in the nutcracker as the mouse king

Yeah.
DO you like SHakespeare?

I love his work.

Did you know he popularized many terms that we use to this day?

Yes terms like, good riddance, in my heart of heart and such

Yes.

He lives at the same time as Pocahontas did

I wonder if they had met what he would have written about her.

Yeah good point.
He also invented some women's names

Yes among those are Olivia, Miranda and Jessica

Yeah.

Did you know that his works have to stick to the old english language to make sense?

Yes especially with punk and rhymes, they do not work with modern language

Yeah.

Did you know Tchaikozsky donated his skull in hopes it will be used in Shakespeare's plays?

Yes and did get used so that is good.
Nice chat


hi, do you use google much?

Yes, I think it is the most effective search engine.

How about you?

Do you use gmail?

Yes.

a google search takes more computing power than sending astronauts tot he moon

And before on Google moon they used to use cheese for close ups!

do you know how google maps calculates traffic?

I am not sure, how do they do this?

they track how fast android devices are moving

Interesting!

Google really is taking over the world.

Their data center electricity use is 0.01 percent of all worldwide electricity.

Yes for sure they are.
they have grown so much over the years

But I like that they like to have fun too.

Have you ever typed askew into Google?

No I have.
What does the results turn?

You should try it!

It tilts the page.

Another fun thing Google does is call new employees nogglers.

They have to wear propeller beanies.

Or is this mean?

Oh, not sure about that really.

People say it is a great place to work at though

Before Google launched gmail, that was the name of a free email service offered by garfield's website.

That actually seems more fun.

I know now everytime I open gmail I think of garfield

Speaking of cats, I would love to get a glow in the dark one.

They have those in South Korea.

Wow.

In Japana and Taiwan there are cat cafes where you can play with them

That seems fun!

That reminds me of the Anderson house bed and breakfast in Minnesota.

They used to offer a free cat for the night when you booked a room.

wow.

there is a town in alaska where the mayor of the town is a cat

That is cool.

Cats are a pretty smart species.

There has not been a cat species extinction in 10,000 years.

They are indeed very smart and that proves it.

Nice chatting with you.


Do you like comic books?

I do like comic books!

Have you heard that Harley Quinn has a new comic book series coming out?

I have not heard that.

I know that comic book legend Stan Lee used to end every phone conversation with "excelsior!"

I've heard that too.

Did you know that the DC in DC comics stands for Detective Comics?

I just read that today.

The largest comic book market is in Japan.

I believe it.

My son loves to read those mangas.

I would love to go there.
I used to like reading Manga too.

The manga market is Japan is valued at $6 to $7 billion dollars!

That is wild!

Did you know that Michigan State University library has the largest publicly available comic book collection in the world?

I didn't know that.

I wonder how many people use it.

By comparison to Japan, the US comic book market in the US and Canada is $1.09 billion!

That's crazy, Japan is way more into comic books than America it seems.

I agree!

The Marvel cinematic universe takes place in earth -199999, a multiverse different from the original comic book multiverse, earth-616!

That's pretty wild.

Marvel published a "generic comic book," in order to trademark the names "superhero" and "super-villain."

That was pretty smart of them.

No doubt!

Do you know much about the planets or the universe?

I know a little bit.
I've heard that Venus does not tilt.

That interesting.

Uranus is different to.

It actually rotates sideways and rolls around the sun rather than spins like the other planets.

That's really interesting.

I've also heard that Jupiter's moon Ganymede would be considered a planet if it orbited the sun.

It must be pretty big then!

I wouldn't want to ever visit the unnamed planet where shards of glass precipitate sideways at 4500 mph!

I don't see that being a pleasant place.

It's even 2000 degree weather.

That sounds like hell to me!

Hahah That's a good way of putting it!

Well I have to get to work, I hope you have a good day.

It was nice chatting with you!


Can you believe there is stars that can be cold enough to be touched ?

The universe is so diverse.

Its amazing and ever evolving.

Yeah and there is even places that exist but we never will be able to see because they are too far away.

They are saying space pulls galaxies outside of universe that we could see

Yes that is what I was saying, albeit I doubt that there is only one electron in the universe like some people say.

I don't see anything supporting or denying that theory so we would never know for sure.

Yeah, but only one ?
For all the universe ?
It does not seems logic ...

There is only one sun that warms earth and all other planets so why not just one electron?

Because an electron is part of matter, the water you drink, the chair you sit on.

Saying there is only 1 electron in the universe is like saying there is 1 grain of wheat in your bread.

It makes sense when you put it that way but in terms of that universe size the electron could be very big.

Maybe they did mean to say that our universe is contained in an electron in another universe ?

I don't know but I am at the end of knowledge on this subject.

What do you think about the facts of comics?

I would have thought US invented them, but it's Japan or UK.

Japan has a great printing history, I am not surprised about this.

Do you read comics books ?

I have read a few but not about super-heroes.

I used to in my childhood but not any more, I used to love inspector Gadget.

Was Inspect Gadget a comics on Paper or a cartoon on TV ?

I was talking about what Marvel is publishing.

On Paper and yes I do recall seeing Super-hero and Hulk books.

I think that Hulk is in the Marvel universe.

But like I said, I never read anything from Marvel nor DC comics.

Right me neither, there were so many good choices of comics when I was growing up.

Not where I lived, if I want to read a comic book, I had to go to the library.

But as I think about it Tintin is a comic book, so I was wrong, I did read a lot of them when I was young but they were European.

Mine all time favorite was Bozo the clown, books and TV both.

I did saw a lot of cartoons on TV, but I don't think that considered as a comic book.

have a nice day.


Are you a Star Wars fan?

I need to rewatch the OT and the prequels so I can watch the subsequent stuff for the first time and understand what's going on.

Hi!

Yes, I am a huge fan of Star Wars!

I also loved how it was the first major movie to be dubbed in Navajo!

I think that is so cool!

Yeah, that's wild.

I guess it takes a pretty small audience to pay for the translation work.

Agreed.

Isn't it also funny James Earl Jones only spent two and half hours recording his lines for Darth Vader?

I also can't believe he was only paid $7500!

Geez, that's pocket change.

$7500 is amazingly low.

I guess since Darth Vader was masked Jones could just record everything at once in the studio.

Agreed.

Can you also believe that George Lucas' wife at the time, Marcia, won an academy award for her editing on Star Wars and yet George Lucas didn't win an academy award for directing.

That is just downright unbelievable!

A lot of people think the OT was so much better than the prequels because of her influence.

Yeah it was because of her that so many major changes were made like Leia's good luck kiss, Obi Wan's death, etc.

She was truly a big influence!

I remember thinking just about everything in the prequels' timeline was off, based on the mental version of the past the OT led us to construct.

But I'd have to rewatch to nail it down.

Yeah I would have to watch it as well!

So are you also a fan of Chewbacca?

I love him.

I think it's funny there's a bat species called the Chewbacca bat.

That's hilarious!

I never felt strongly about Chewbacca one way or the other TBH.

But I've got to google a picture of that bat to see what it looks like!

I would like to see it as well.

Did you know Chewbacca actually had a wife and two boys?

That's pretty interesting!

I vaguely recall reading something in the Star Wars fictional universe where a young Han Solo stayed with Chewbacca and his mom in their home.

That's so weird, isn't it?

Ha!

Are you one of the fans who believes both r2d2 and Chewbacca were secret rebel agents?

I kind of think it's an interesting theory.

I wish I knew enough about the background to have an opinion, but the last Star Wars I watched was Episode III, when it came out on video.

I really need to rewatch to refresh my memory of it.

Same here!

Like, I also had forgotten that before his companionship with Chewbacca, Hans Solo was an imperial lieutenant!

Yeah, I don't remember that at all.

He definitely doesn't seem like the type.

Indeed he doesn't.

But I've always liked Chewbacca because he reminded me of a giant dog.

Ha!

Speaking of dogs, I think it's cool that dogs, along with elephants, are the only animals that understand pointing!

I wouldn't be surprised if cats understood it but just didn't care, LOL.

Ha!

No kidding.

Speaking of dogs and cats, I like how Google prefers dogs over cats and even states in their code of conduct that they're a dog company!

That is awesome!

Yeah, that's a weird official policy for what's supposed to be a neutral search engine!

Nice chatting with you.


Naming a cloned cat "copy cat", that's cute.

You must have ESP.

I was going to tell you teh same thing!

I have a sad story to tell there are less tigers living in the wild in Asia than as pets in the US.

Really?
That's awful to hear!

Of Roosevelt's 20 pets two were a bear and hyena!

Whoa, cool!

I know he seemed to be quite the animal lover.

And there are more pets in Japan than there are children under 15.

You can't be a pets "OWNER" in Boulder but you can be their guardian.

I have a pet.

I am an ailurophile meaning I love cats.

Cool word!

Did you know there are 20 quintillion animal varieties on Earth?

That is a lot!

And in 2002 Germany gave them legal rights.

Yeah, and the Loch Ness monster is protected under the 1912 Scottish Animal Protection Act.

I wonder if the immortal jellyfish needs protecting... being immortal and all.

Lol...speaking of water animals, did you know that hiccoughs are a left over from evolution when we had gills?

Maybe that connection is part of why 84% of human disease genes have counterparts in zebrafish, too... hmm.

Hmm?

Good theory.

Seeing that the most popular pets are cats and dogs it is no surprise that they are commonly used for therapy in hospitals.

Well, they are good at helping people adjust to new situations, too.

Yes, like for elderly who are without companions.

Or people with anxiety and depression, or kids with autism.

Yes, a seahorse wouldn't be very good for that purpose.

Did you know seahorses are the only fish with a neck?

I don't think a black swallower fish would be good as a companion pet either because it can eat prey twice its length!

That would freak me out!

But I bet it catches that prey using its acoustic communication!

Could be.

Fish are cool like that.

I think it's neat that amphibians and reptiles and birds and mammals all had the same ancestry with fish.

I wonder if reptiles are considered ectothermic like most fish?

That would be a good thing to know, especially because some of them make good pets.

Yep, but I don't know if walking a gecko would give the same health benefits as walking a dog

Probably not.

Dog walking is good because it gives companionship and exercise at the same time.

Hey, did you know the first marine predator was the shark?

They developed in the Silurian period.

Very interesting.

I wonder how many aquatic species have gone extinct since then...

Or have evolved into other species.

The shark has a higher core temperature than other fish because it is an active swimmer.

That makes sense.

I always thought sharks were pretty interesting because they have cartilage instead of bone.

Yes, fascinating fact!

Tuna also hold a higher core temperature.

They are in the same class as shark because they are also active swimmers.

Tuna can get quite large, too.
It's cool how big some fish get.

One more before we go...did you know domesticated animals develop a white patch on their forehead?

Yeah.

that is a pretty cool way to know they are domesticated rather than wild.

Very cool chatting with you.

Did you know there are 6331 groups of genes?

They are common to all living animals!

It was a cool exercise in zoology chatting with you.


I think its sad to have to part with a pet due to allergies and couple conflict like in the Dear Amy section.

That is sad.

Do you have pets?

The first cloned pet was a cat and its name was copy cat.

Yes, I have a dog.

Sounds like in the Dear Amy that they do everything tit for tat.

The cat owner states that her fiance has to get rid of his saltwater fish if she gets rid of her cat.

That's not necessarily fair though I don't think.

They seem like they may struggle as a couple in the future.

Yeah that's a bit dramatic!

A cat lover is known as an ailurophile and a dog lover is known as a cynophile.

Allergies can be serious to people.

I understand his reserve of having a cat.

Me too.

A pet or companion animal is an animal kept primarily for a person's company, protection, or entertainment.

No one should have to be made uncomfortable by a pet in the house.

I'm sure she loves the pet, but she has to make a choice if the pet is harming her fiance.

Over 1.5 million living animal species have been described.

I'm sure they can find one to agree on.

Did you ever hear that animals develop white patches on their foreheads when they are domesticated?

That's a new one to me.

That's interesting!

Of the 1.5 million species, 1 million are insects!

Yuck!

Apparently, there is a breed of jellyfish that is immortal.

If you want to live forever, you can look into being a jellyfish.

Fascinating!

In japan, there are more pets than there are children under 15.

Teddy Roosevelt had over 20 pets and his own real "teddy" bear along with a hyena

Wow!

There are more tigers living as pets in the us than living wild in asia.

I never met anyone with a tiger pet.

That is strange.

It's not legal to own pets in Boulder, Colorado but you can be their guardian.

Lots of places have special animal rights.

In 2002, germany became the first country in the world to universally give animals constitutionally-guaranteed legal rights.

The loch ness monster is protected by 1912 Scottish provisions

That's funny.

It's not even a proven species.

There are about 20 quintillion individual animals on planet earth.

Did you ever hear of people being contacted due to DNA matches?

You can opt in or out but might be connected with matches of family members

That is pretty cool.

There are several companies offering DNA testing, and each seems to offer a different way of handling client privacy

DNA matches could be connected via social media.


hi, do you like fish?

Yes, I love fish do you?

yes me too.

some of them can eat prey twice their sizew

Yes, did you know seahorses only fish to have a neck?

that is so cool, and the males carry the young in that species

Yes, and zebrafish are very interesting.

yeah did you know we use them to figure out stufffor ourselves

Yes interesting,  How about the first cloned cat named copy cat?

that is cool.
there is a jellyfish that is immortal

I know, really?

How about our hiccups are from gills and lungs?

that is a such a cool fact, we are still evolving so maybe it will eventually go away

lol, interesting to know the loch ness monster is a protected species.

yet no one has really seen it to confirm its existence

I know, Also, I do believe in Japan there is less people under 15 years of age than pets.

do you know how many idnividual animals are believed to be on earth?

Yes, 20 quintillion, can you believe that?Wow

I do not even know how many zeros are in that number

lol, I know, I guess  the US have more tigers as pets than living wild in Asia.

and Roosevelet did not have any of them

He did have a bear and hyena.

Good to know you are a guardian not an owner in Colorado to pets.

I like that too.
nice chat


Hello

Hello.

do you have a cat?

I see that some people can be allergic to them.

No, I do not.

I am actually allergic to cats.

The first cloned pet was a cat and its name was copy cat

That's interesting and a little funny.

I had no idea of this, but the cat is the most popular pet in the world.

DId you know that?

Wow, no I didn't know that.

There are more tigers living as pets in the us than living wild in asia.

Now that I had no idea of.

Did you know that some tarantulas keep frogs as pets?

Wow, that's odd.

Two of the most popular pets are dogs and cats

I have dogs and used to have cats too but dogs are my favorite.

Dogs are my favorite also.

I hope to get another one in the future.

Do you have any now?
I have two.

No, I do not.

What kind do you have?

84 per cent of genes known to be associated with human diseases have counterparts in the zebrafish

I have a beagle and a border collie.

I had no idea about that with the zebrafish.

I wonder if cures can be found by using their genes.

I used to have a collie named Bimbo.
That's a great question.

Mine is named Cute Stuff.

Did you know about the fish that lives on land?

I wonder what it is.

No, I didn't.

There is a breed of jellyfish that is immortal

Seriously?

I thought they just evaporated in the sun?

Absolutely, There are about 20 quintillion individual animals on planet earth.

And who knows how many that are undiscovered.

Animals are truly fascinating!

Yes, they are.

In 2002, germany became the first country in the world to universally give animals constitutionally-guaranteed legal rights.

I think that is a good thing!

I like how the netherlands is constructing wildlife bridges.

Me too.
Thanks for the informative chat.


Hello, Did you know that there are over 1.5 million living animal species?

No, that was chock  full of interesting facts.

Hiccups are residual from when we had gills and lungs?

Interesting stuff.

Never heard that one before, lol!

There is a fish called the black swallower that is capable of eating prey twice its length and 10 times its own weight.

I knew one of those in my fraternity in college I think.

I was shocked to learn there is a breed of jellyfish that is immortal.

Only creature on earth that can claim that here on the planet.

Yeah we all know that guy!

how about the loch ness monster being protected under the Scottish 1912 protection of animals act.

Creatures of the great deep are extraordinary.

"The immortal Jelly fish.

I already looked up that jellyfish on my phone.

Fascinating, yes loch ness is protected and pets in Boulder, Colorado are not owned, but guarded.

Interesting how different cultures handle that.

Tell me about it apparently there are more U.S. Tigers living as pets than there are living in the wild in Asia.

Yes, that is sad in some ways too.

Happy we're keeping them alive, probably in zoo but going extinct in the wild is a sad statement on the planet today.

I agree.

Germany became the first country to universally give animals constitutionally-guaranteed rights.

While I'm a pet owner, that going a bit far.

Do you give dogs and cats rights, how about those dairy cows or cattle to be eaten.

Do they get lesser rights?

Very good point.

My wife and I are watching Blue Planet.

It's shocking some of the things that are down in the deep.

they are still making discoveries every single day.

Apparently the sea horse is the only fish with a neck.

Yes, and really they say we know more about the face of the moon than the bottom of the ocean.

Who knows what's down there we don't know?

Maybe the Loch Ness monster's cousin.

If you ever get a chance you should check this show, there's some amazing creatures down there.

84% of genes that are associated with diseases have counterparts in the Zebrafish.

I read that and thought the same.

I wonder how similar the Zebra Fish is to humans?

Can we use that in medical research?

If we can i'm sure it will be preventative or medication.

There's no money in cures.

I didn't realize that we had already cloned a cat and named it Copy Cat, that's too funny.

Yes, the scientist in that experiment had a sense of humor.

Related to domestication, I had no idea that domesticated animals develop a white patch on their foreheads.

I wonder what causes that, it doesn't seem to have any evolutionary reason to me.

Sounds strange.

I can't fathom why anyone would want a rat for a pet.

I'm a little leery of guinea pigs and ferrets.

anything with red eyes you can keep.

Haha, yep.

A snake doesn't seem very warm or comforting either.

I don't understand why people enjoy having them as pets.

And how do they find partners who accept it?

Other people who like that stuff i guess, haha.

Apparently Theodore Roosevelt had 20 pets including a bear and Hyena.

I wonder if he played with them much?

Well, President of the United States, I wonder if he had them in the White House?

Did he have a stable for the bear out back?

Some animals just should be domesticated.

That white patch if true is something to ponder.

Yes indeed, interesting facts that will give me pause this weekend.

That was an enjoyable conversation.

Thanks and have a lovely weekend.

You as well!
!

Thanks.


hey hows it going, do you know what the first cloned animal was?

Was it a sheep?

I heard the first cloned pet was a cat, though.

Its name was copy cat.

That is funny!

haha ya I like that, what is also wild to me is that there are more domesticated tigers living as pets than there are wild tigers living around asia

Wow, that is weird and sad.

Speaking of which, did you hear about the tiger found in the duffel bag?

no that is really sad, poor tiger what happened to it?

Why was it in a bag?

I guess it was being smuggled to the USA from Mexico.

ya I don't like that that makes me mad, do you have any pets?

I guess In Japan there are more pets than there are kids under the age of fifteen

They really love their pets huh?
No, I don't have any pets.
Do you?

no we used to have a dog but we were only watching her for a bit and the owner took her away, we had lots of pets as kids though like iguanas and rabbits and such

In Boulder, Colorado you cannot own a pet.

You can be their guardian though.

hmm that seems dumb like its just playing with words, do you like Teddy Roosevelt?

apparently he had over 20 pets, or as they say in Colorado, "Guardians" haha

Maybe it helps people to feel more of an obligation to their pets.

Shrug.

Yeah, Teddy Roosevelt is an interesting guy.

It's unfortunate though that people try to domesticate tigers as you mentioned.

Many of the animals perish along the way from suffocation or hunger.

ya that makes me really sad, what do you think about fish?

I had salmon for dinner so I do think theyre tasty haha

Haha.

Funny.

I don't eat seafood.

My mom forced me to eat salmon way too often when I was little and I grew sick of it.

Haha #firstworldproblems.

haha ya, well I am like the black swallower fish, I could eat a salmon twice my height and ten times my weight because I love it

Funny.

I would love to learn more about a jellyfish that is immortal.

I know they need to apply those genes to me!

also weird is there is no fish except for the seahorse that has an actual neck

So seahorses are salt water right?

I guess they drink water though their mouths while freshwater fish only drink through their skin.

yes that would be true, also true is that 84% of human disease genes are also associated with the zebrafish, we need to study that fish too!

How odd!

Do you think the loch ness monster is real?

It is a protected species!

haha I wish it were real!

that's funny they did that in 1912, maybe they knew something that we dont?


What would you do if you found a baby tiger inside of a duffel bag?

I would look around to make sure Mama tiger is not in the area and looking at me with, "Gimme back my child" look!

LOL yep you don't want to be around an angry tiger mom haha.

I guess they found one on the southern Border in Texas, a bag with a baby tiger that is

Was it a smuggling thing?

Yes I think so unfortunately.

the smuggling industry is a billion dollar trade unfortunately

With 20 quintillion animals in this world, why would anyone feel the need to smuggle one?

Haha well different animals are definitely worth different amounts, I don't think a mosquito is worth anything LOL.

Why do you think animals can get white patches on their foreheads?

Once domesticated, animals develop white patches on their foreheads, likely because once indoors, they run into painted walls and doors with their heads.

I know i do.

Haha I wonder if humans developed these white patches as well.

What do you think about Germany giving constitutional rights to animals?

They did that back in 2002

I think German constitutional right for animals are pretty cool.

Pretty, pretty .

I learned about that while watching the German remake of the classic film, "12 angry hamsters"

Well I'll have to watch that movie.

I just think it's cool that hiccups are relics of When Animals had both lungs and gills, so next time you have the hiccups think about that LOL

Does that mean putting a bag over your head while hiccupping may cause you to de-evolve?

Maybe that is what happened to the Loch Ness Monster!

I'm glad  she is a protected species.

Hate to think someone might bag Aunt Matilda.

It's funny that it's protected by 1912 Scottish law, the "protection of animals act".

hopefully that means that it's a real animal LOL but I doubt it

Yeah.

Aunt Matilda would make a better hag fish anyway, or maybe a seahorse, since they are the only fish with a neck.

That is crazy!

I also think it's crazy that there is a jellyfish breed that can never die AKA its immortal

Does that mean they never get cancer, or they get cancer forever?

You know, 84% of genes associated with human disease are also found in the zebrafish, but I have never seen a zebrafish with MS or Parkinson's disease...

Haha I haven't seen it either!

Maybe some people have the black swallower fish disease, because black swallow fish Can Eat Prey twice their length and 10 times their weight haha

Haha.

If  freshwater fish can drink through it's skin, why don't you ever see a freshwater fish floating in a margarita?

Haha I wish I could drink through my skin and float in a margarita LOL.

Do you have any pets by the way?

Too many to count.

We've had Hamsters, snakes, scorpions, lizards, fish, cats, dogs, chickens, birds...Our apartment is getting cramped...

Haha that's a lot of animals!

We have a dog actually, but I can't believe that there are more pet tigers in the USA than Wild Ones in Asia, a lot of people must have illegal pets here


Can you recommend any movies to watch?

Do you like Star Wars ?

The movie about Hans Solo just came out on Netflix.

Is that the one where its about a young Han Solo?

Yeah it is the one, so Han Solo is not played by Harrison Ford, does it affect your opinion of the movie ?

Someone else can fill Harrison Fords shoes?

Maybe ill check into how well this Alden guy does in the role

He did a good job, but Han Solo was already young in the 1977 movie, I think it impacted negatively the movie.

Does Chewbacca appear in this movie?

Yes it does, but it is not the same actor who did the other movies.

I don't think that matters too much.

I like their relationshop in the movies.

Chewy is a very loyal friend

In the canon Chewy has a family a wife and 2 sons.

Thats interesting.

I heard George RR Martin had an illustration that Chewie is based off of

I heard that too, it was on the cover of one of his small stories.

It is a peculiar creature when you think about it.

I wonder what other crazy creatures we could have had in space with Martins help.

There's a giant fictional Universe that could be filled.

Would you like to  see a film with Chewbacca as the principal character ?

I think it would be interesting.

There are also so many comic stories that could be told.

I just wonder how communication would work in such a movie

They would use subtitles.

And good storytelling, like how Hans Solo seems to understand Chewie's intentions, but not his words.

Yeah its like having a dog as a best friend.

But able to shoot things

There was also a dog movie that opened this summer A.X.L.

about a robot dog.

I will have to check that one out as well.

Thanks for your time.

have a good day

Do you like dogs ?

I love them, they were one of the first domesticated animals.

Yes!

dogs and elephants can understand pointing


Good Morning!
How are you today?

Well, you may be on the other side of the fence but I like neither Kanye nor Trump.

I couldn't have said it any better lol.

That was such an odd meeting between them two a couple months ago!

I recall the time that Kanye stood up to a President when he perceived racism, now he seems to have flipped.

I guess they money makes a big difference,

A very big difference.

He even thinks AIDS is a man-made disease!

People love a good conspiracy story.

I think that is how Trump does so well, people believe in the Deep State, and such.

I agree!

What kind of music do you like to listen to?

I'm a kid of the eighties and nineties,  I never really moved on from that alternative rock scene.

Same here!

I think rap has been a major significance in the last twenty years though huh?

There has been the odd rap song that I like, but for me it's cultural.

I'm just not from the environment most rappers are and can't appreciate their point of view.

I agree too!

I can't believe a michigan judge once delivered her ruling to eminem in the form of a rap haha.

That's kind of cool, I like it when people don't take themselves too seriously.

Like when Kanye made fun of himself on SNL.

If only he'd do it more.

All he has to do is talk and it happens haha.

I give him props though, he once gave his mic to a fan in a wheelchair at a concert.

However, I'm sure he told a person to stand up in a wheelchair before too.....

Funny.

Are you one for hats?

Probably not a MAGA hat, but hat's in general?

I wear hats when I'm out hiking, but that is about it, how about you?

Generally not.

I'm originally from the UK so I guess most people would associate me with a bowler hat, but never really worn any type of hat.

It took me awhile to figure out what it looks like but now I know.

Wasn't that the most popular hat in the old west too?

I'm guessing that is because of TV and movies, we get this idea of the way it is shown when reality is somewhat different.

Being self deprecating, I'd say a dunces cap suits me well.

Well said!

I think it suits me well too haha.

That is where the conical party hat was derived from!

Or maybe we could give it to Mr West next time he wants to speak his mind to us.

Or just when he is walking around being the odd self he is.

Anyways, I had a great chat with you, have an awesome day!


Do you like wearing hats?
It has so many functions!

I don't like them on myself but I know a lot of people that can pull them off.

Yes me as well.

In the military hats denote a nationality, branch of service, rank or regiment.

I noticed the different hats in the military but did not know it had to do with rank.

Yes they have a function to play.

In the old west, the most popular hat was the bowler!

Wow!

They always show a stetson or something close so I'm shocked by that.

Yes me as well!

Tipping of ones hat arises from the knights raising their face visors.

Very chivalry of them!

That's a very interesting fact.

Did you know that until 1998 British politicians were required to wear a top hat if they were making a point of order?

Oh wow that seems kind of an old tradition.

Kind of like that conical party hat which was derived from dunce caps!

That's also a strange hat.

As far as old traditions in British politics I don't understand why they still wear powdered wigs in court either.

So strange.

Agreed.

They look so silly in my opinion.

A lot of rapping attire looks silly too.

But the rapper Tupac was very talented as his music is in the library of congress of cultural significance.

I'm surprised they would include any rap at this point to be honest.

Speaking of rap, do you know what Eminem wanted to be before he was a rapper?

I didn't know that.

Very interesting.

Rappers also have some odd beliefs.

Like Kanye West who thinks AIDS is a man-made disease.

Eminem actually wanted to be a comic book artist.

Kanye West is very strange and has a lot of strange ideas.

Yes he is.

But he has done some good things like giving a mic to a fan in a wheelchair at his concert.

That was nice of him.

Did you know that Busta Rhymes did voice work in an animated movie?

Oh yeah you're right.

He was the Reptar Wagon in the 1998 Rugrats Movie!

Yes he was.

He has a distinct voice so I don't know how I missed it initially.

Good point.

I didn't know rap was popular in Korea.

They created a form of rap dueling called compliment battle!

Well thanks for talking with me today!

I didn't know that either.

That has to sound a lot different than the rap battles here.

It was nice talking with you as well.

Yes here they are much more agressive!
Have a good one!


did you see that Kanye is having another kid?

I heard something but I'm not really following his offspring :)

I saw that they are using a surrogate and only paying 70k.

I'd want a whole lot more than that!

ok, yes that's what I read... and somebody needs to explain to me, how using a surrogate really works...

Simple explanation:  They take egg from mom, Sperm from dad - put it together and then into another person.

ok... why are they doing that ?
Kardashian can't have babies ?

Not sure to be honest, I'd love to know too though.

I think it's just another thing to do to be on the cover of the magazine and have plenty of interviews...  this is a crazy world...

I wouldn't doubt it.
Speaking of him, do you like rap music?
(trying to cover the topics!
haha)

lol ;) no, not really...
I don't consider it to be music ;)

I mean - I think it is definitely music...but I agree not my type.

Doesn't music needs melody ?
;)

Lots of rap does have that!

a sample on keyboard doesn't count ;)

I'm thinking you haven't heard much more than whats on the radio then

Maybe You're right, I don't want to argue ;) not my cup of tea though :) I'm more of a blues fan.

Classic rock, maybe metal.

I'll pretty much listen to anything except country.

It is god awful

I don't listen to country but I don't mind it.

It has it's own charm and it takes skills to play and sing country...

I suppose.

Just like most music what is played on the radio is just garbage

I agree...

I mean I haven't heard anything new that's good.

Maybe except Black Country Communion... great band

Can't say I know them!


Do you like rap music?

I do, but I cannot tolerate Kanye West.

I adore Tupac, and think it's interesting that the Library of Congress chose his music to be included because it's culturally significant.

I agree, Kanye's old music was really good.

He's just out there.

Just like how he thinks AIDS is a man-made disease.

I just don't care for him.

I would have loved to have been in the courtroom, the day a judge decided to give her ruling to Eminem, in rap style.

That would have been funny.

Speaking of Eminem, did you know that his true dream was to become a comic book artist?

Yes, Spidey is his favorite.

My brother used to love Rugrats when he was little, I only found out recently, that Busta Rhymes voiced the reptar wagon in the movie.

I didn't know that either.

That's pretty interesting.

Did you know that Korean rappers invented a new type of freestyle?

The compliment battle, lol.

i would love to hear that.

I love how people think the cowboy hat was the most popular in the old west, yet it was really the bowler.

Yeah, cowboy hats were more as working hats weren't they?

Did you know that up until 1998 politicians had to wear a top hat if making a point of order in the House of Commons?

I did not.

That sounds interesting.

Much like the "tip of the hat" originates from Knights raising their visors.

That is interesting too.

I heard that in 1908 a law was passed limiting the length of hatpins.

They did that, so they wouldn't be used as weapons.

Smart move.

Yeah it is.

I'd hate to be stabbed to death with a hat pin.

That does sound like a painful way to die.

I do like  the fact that Kanye gave his mic to a fan in a wheelchair once.

He does have a few redeeming qualities.

Yeah he does have a few.

He once did an SNL skit mocking for interrupting awards shows....2 years before the infamous Taylor Swift incident.

I have no idea what that is, as I don't pay attention to her either.

I still find it mindblowing that Big Sean turned down a scholarship to Michigan, to go rap.

Yeah that is pretty good.

He made a good choice I guess, he's one of the biggest rappers in the world right now.

He can always go back.

Big Sean is?
Weird, most have never heard of him.
I do like Kanye's middle name, Omari,.

So his initials are K.O.W.
That's funny!

I love the skits Saturday Night Live does of trump.

The one of Brett Kavanaugh was hilarious, have you seen it?

Yes it was hilarious!

Thank you for chatting with me, have a nice day.

I enjoyed it, I hope you have a nice day as well.


Hello.

Did you know that there is a candy desk in the us senate?

haha yeah, I heard about that.
It's been there since 1968.

I guess they all like candy a lot!
At least it's american made.
The candy is made in pennsylvania.

What candy is made in Pennsylvania besides Hershey?

They've got milky way bars, mars bars, and even jelly beans!

Wow, that's way cooler than the fact that they didn't let women wear pants until 1993.

I know.

It is so surprising to me that it took that long for two women senators to protest by wearing pants on the senate floor.

They wore pantsuits, they kept it classy.

haha.

Yes they did.

Senate is very big on tradition.

They used the same gavel for 165 years until it got cracked.

Senate can be so cool, haha.

Did you hear that in 1988 they arrested senators to force them to vote?

I thought that sort of things only happened on House of Cards

I have heard about that.

One of the senators tried to escape and was carried feet first into the senate chamber by three officers!

Yeah, I think that rule might be from before senators were elected.

They weren't elected until 1913.

Elections are a good and a bad thing.

I've heard somewhere that the people of Ancient Athens came to the conclusion that elections would lead to an oligarchy.

I think that might be because nobody votes.

Voter turn out hasn't gone higher than 62% in 100 years.

Maybe some people figure there's no need to vote.

Research shows that the taller candidate wins most of the time anyway.

We should just have people voted in by lottery.

That's what Athens used to do.

It almost seems as if that is what we have now.

I think more states than just Nevada show have a none of these candidates on their ballots.

Yeah, hopefully we'll see some electoral reform soon, hopefully we can see this will improve fairness.

Speaking of fairness did you know that not all men in the UK could vote until 1918?

nope.

But, I did hear that astronauts can vote from space.

That is amazing and very determined.

It's like India setting up a booth just so one person can vote in a forest that is full of lions!


Hi are you a fan of Star Wars?

My son is, so I know a little bit about it.

Nice!

Did you see the first movie when it came out in 1977?

I remember going to the theater to see it.

No, I did not.

My son went with his friends.

Apparently, Star Wars was dubbed in Navajo in 2013.

There must have been a big enough market for them to do that.

They have the money to do it that's for sure.

Just the box office alone the Star Wars franchise has brought in over $8.5 billion dollars!

20th Century Fox did not think that Star Wars was going to succeed.

Do you know what happened to Star Wars' licensing and merchandising rights?

Didn't George Lucas get them somehow?

Yes, because they did not want to pay additional directing fee to Lucas.

Nice.

He scored then big time because the entire Star Wars franchise is estimated to $65 billion dollars!

20th Century Fox avoided to pay additional fee of only $500k to Lucas.

They were willing to give the licensing and merchandising to him.

Someone got fired at the company, I'll bet.

You know it!

George Lucas' wife Marcia won an academy award for editing the film!

I heard about it.

She was talented.

By the way,  Marcia is no longer married to Lucas.

Whoa!

I didn't know that.

Maybe George doesn't have as much as that $65 billion as I thought.

Yikes.

It's okay.
Marcia is entitled to the money too.
She want the award, remember?

Yes!

lol  James Earl Jones took only 2.5 hours to record all of the parts for Darth Vader for the original movie.

Sorry, what I meant was "she won the award".

About James Earl Jones - I think he was only paid $7500 for his work.

That was not fair.

Wow.

That sure doesn't.

I wonder if he gets any licensing fees at all for Darth Vader?

On a different subject....did you know that Earth's surface is 71 percent water and 29 percent land?

I did not know the exact percentages.
Thanks for the info!

On a sad note relating to those percentages....more than 80 percent of the earths natural forests have already been destroyed?

I heard about it and we need to do something about it.

I agree.

It's sad.

I had a good time chatting with you tonight!

I thank you for your information - I learned a lot from you.

Have a good night.


Hey!

Are you a Star Wars fan?

I love George Lucas for creating such a cool storyline.

Hello!

I do like Star Wars!

I can't believe companies thought it would be a flop!

Yeah can you believe that?

Now the franchise of Star Wars is estimated to be worth $65 billion.

I'm glad 20th century fox finally decided to jump on board with them!

My mind is blown, George Lucas says the entire story is told by r2d2!

Wow I never knew that.

Star Wars is the second highest grossing film series of all time.

I wonder what the first one is?

Maybe the Harry Potter movies?

I don't think the movie Blade Runner comes close to it haha.

Have you seen it?

Yeah I have seen all the blade runner movies.

They are very cool and gritty.

Ridley Scott is a good director.

I still have yet to see one but I want to!

I like how the director and Harrison Ford debated if his character was real or not!

Now that is something that I have thought a lot about as well.

That classic line at the end of the first movie delivered by the replicant was actually improvise by the actor.

I think the whole concept of that movie was done right just by hearing about it!

I didn't even know the composer to the soundtrack couldn't read music!

That is fascinating!

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

Wow, and now it seems like it's all computerized graphics!

Speaking of crazy, isn't earth awesome?

Yes earth is epic indeed!

When earth was first formed a day was only 5.5 hours long!

But that was a very long time ago!

I feel like I would never be able to catch up on sleep during that time lol.

I wonder at what point will earth's days be like 40 hours haha.

Yeah I've wondered that as well.

I don't look forward to working that long!

Earth will also be helium free by the end of the 21st-century.

No more balloons for us!

I wonder if clowns will be out of jobs at that time as well haha.

We do have to thank Jupiter though, they save us from many asteroids coming our way!

Do they really?

I'm not really familiar with that concept.

One sad statistic is that more than 80% of the earths natural forest have already been destroyed.

That is so sad!

We are destroying the planet we live on!

That is even more sad because the world is 71 percent water anyways!

Yes it is.

Mostly by oceans but also lakes, rivers, and other sources!

Well it was lovely getting to talk with you!

I agree, It was nice chatting with you as well.

Have a great day!

You as well.
Goodbye now!


Hello, How are you?
Do you like politics?

Im well.

I do like politics, I just find our current climate a bit hostile.

lol, I agree with you!!

I didn't know Nevada is the only state to have a none of the above voting option?

I think that is a perfect option.

Sometimes there just arent good candidates.

I agree!!

Did you know since 1900 the taller candidate has won by 75%?

yeah, I guess people think dominance with height?

Not sure how that one works.

And All bearded presdients were republican

Yes, I heard that too!

Good to know the astronauts in space can vote too!

They can.

And in certain places they might have voted for some animals.

Like a cat named Hank, third place in Virginia senate election

Oh my goodness!

Really.

At least we don't have to go into the forest with lions like they do in Indian government!

I know, id be skipping out on that election.

I think I would too!

Too bad Richard Nixon cracked that 165 year old gavel the senate used.

It must be somewhere on display.

Yeah, that has to be a piece of US history.

Love the candy desk idea at the senate!

Now I'm going to think about them going thru that drawer full of milky ways .

mars bars and jelly beans!

It does sound like the best idea ever.

All that candy is made in Pennsylvania too.

Yes, keep their sugar levels up!!
lol

Keep them working.
LOL

Yeah, can't make good choices when your sugar has dropped!

It can't believe it took until 1993 for women to wear pants on the senate floor.

I know.

If I were elected, I would be doing that first day.

Actually, Id probably bring up senate pajama day.

I m all about the comfort.

I am too.

Nothing worse than trying to work and feeling uncomfortable!!

Good chat!

For real!
Have a good one!

You too!
Have a good night!
!


Do you know much about politics?

Just the basics mostly.

Do you know what the 'candy desk' tradition is about?

I've heard one of the Senators keeps candy in their desk.

Pretty cool!

Did you know that Since 1900, the taller candidate has won the us presidential election 75% of the time?

What!

No, I did not know that, that is very interesting.

Also, Astronauts vote from space, so the rest of us have no excuse not to make it to an election.

That is crazy, but understandable.

And you are right, gives us no excuse.

Did you know about Jordan's political dealings?

I don't.
Tell me more.

He was asked why he would endorse a Democrat, and he said because republicans buy shoes too.

I thought it was funny.

Haha, that is funny!

Nevada is the only state to have a "none of these candidates" voting option for presidential elections.

Yeah I think the Nevada voting laws are quite odd.

The voter turnout for us presidential elections hasn't breached 62.8% in the last 100 years!

That's actually more than I would guess.

Well, we'll see how voting will be done twenty years from now, if they make it easier, the numbers will probably rise.

That's true.

Not all men in the uk had the right to vote until 1918.

I wonder how much fraud there was in voting back in 1918.

I'm sure a lot.

Elections are fairly new.

rom 1789 until 1913, Senators were appointed by legislatures of the states they represented; following the ratification of the Seventeenth Amendment in 1913, they are now popularly elected.

That is a very interesting fact.

Do you remember the first time you voted?

I don't.

it was a long time ago!

Women were not allowed to wear pants on the u.s. senate floor until 1993.

I think that is the strangest fact of the day.

I think it's wild when observers have to be blocked from polls during elections.

Strange and freaky!

dian government sets up a polling booth in a forest full of lions for a single voter.

I think I've read that before!
Wild to think about.

Nice chatting with you.
Thanks!


Hey how are you, can't believe that Georgia senator got arrested!

She said she was peacefully chanting.

That's interesting, I wish voting was different now, no reason to still have ballots with no federal holiday for Election Day.

It's interesting that astronauts vote from space!

For sure, I wonder if it's confidential up there?

How does it get back to earth?

Right, I'll have to look that up.

Indian government sets up a polling booth in a  forest that is full of lions for just one voter.

I wonder if that person even shows up to vote, or why he's in the jungle like that haha.

Did you vote last election?

Yes I did.

And even though we don't have to go to a forest full of lions, voter turnout for US presidential elections has not reached 62.8 percent in the last 100 years.

That's crazy, I wonder if they'll ever fix that, plenty of things they can do about that but never attempt it.

Since 1900 the taller candidate has won the US presidential election.

Hope that's just a coincidence!

Oh wow, that's pretty crazy.

I'm 6'4", I should run for president lol.

Ha, maybe you should.

Officials in Athens didn't have much faith in elections.

They thought it would lead to oligarchy.

Oh wow, that's some forward thinking.
What is an oligarchy again?

It is where power is concentrated in a small group of people.

Ah I gotcha, they're kind of right I'm sure.

I wonder what the perfect government system is?

Any ideas?

Not sure I have faith in any, as all great civilizations come to an end.

It seems like we are still barely progressing though.

Women could not wear pants in the US senate floor until 1993 after a couple of women senators protested by wearing pantsuits.

Oh wow, that's crazy how sexist they still were.

I agree about the great civilizations coming to an end, they all thought they'd be around forever too.

I think it's interesting that astronauts vote from space.

Yet, we have low turnouts for presidential elections for those of us on earth, haha.

For sure, I wonder why people don't show up so much, I wish they would more!

Yeah, the Indian government set up a polling booth in a forest full of lions for one voter, that is pretty neat.

Very cool.

Great chatting with you, I'm going to take off though, take care!


did you watch the movie Frozen?

I did and loved it so much, and you?

me too.

Did you know it is the first movie by disney directed by a woman?

Yes and also that it made $1 billion worklwide, that is amazing

I know.

Elsa was the main villain in the original script of the movie

Yes but the let it go song was too uplifting to keep her as the villain

Yes.

And the original title of the movie was the Snow Queen

Yes but they changed it because feminine titles do not seem to do well, so sad

That is sad and it is just the mentality that we have to work hard to change

Yup agreed.

They also changed Rapunzel to Tangled for that same reason

Yeah.
DO you have a pet?

I have two cats and a dog.
DO you like dogs?

I love dogs.

did you there they can have one of the 12 blood types?

Yes and there are blood drives for dogs

So cool.

In istanbul they have installed water and food dispensers for dogs

Yes and all you have to do is feed it plastic bottles

Yes such a genius idea and it helps everyone involved

I know.

Dogs are really good at understanding pointing

Yes and same goes for the elephants as well

Yeah.
Google is a dog company it seems

Yes they have that in their code of conduct, talk about dedication

I know right, dogs deserve that though


Do you like baseball ?

I have heard of it.
Do you?

I like, the sport but there is not MLB team in my city, so I don't watch it.

But I find it really interesting, full of small details, like managers wear a uniform so they could replace a player if they need to.

That is probably a holdover from the old days when a player was chosen to be manager.

Nowadays, it wouldn't work.

Yes, I wonder if it could be even dangerous for some of them, like some could have an heart attack.

Yeah, no insurance company would touch the managers on the field, that's for sure.

I think they would be better at softball, did you ever watch a softball game ?

I have never watched a softball game, though I understand many women play it.

I think it is more a hobby than a professional sport, the average salary is around 5500 $ per year, some hobos make more.

Hobos?

I never thought of income in terms of hobos, though I guess they do make money through their illicit means.

Panhandling can be quite profitable, for someone with no income.

Like in a busy place as Manhattan.

But even if I don't consider softball as a legitimate pro sport, if was the first event televised on ESPN.

Can you win money through betting though?

That always legitimizes a sport.

Yes, if it is your criteria, then video game is a legitimate sport.

They have leagues and a lot of betting is done on matches.

Their is a physicality to what they do, but it's just in the hands.

As shooting, and it is even an Olympic sport, but it is strange to see a smoking fat man winning a medal.

Do you play video games ?

I used to play video games.
Not much now.
Lost interest.
Do you?

Me too, I have lost interest playing before I have lost interest in buy them so I have a backlog of a few games that reminds me  not to buy the next console.

It is the more and more popular, 3 billon hours are played on video games each week on Earth.

Wow.

So much time on games.

I guess it's about the same as time spent watching TV.

Yes, but video are viewed more negatively than TV, that is why you have legislation in some countries limiting the time played by children.

It is important to keep the kids from losing themselves in the games.

Which countries restrict video games?

There is Korea limiting kids under 16, and China I think.

Mostly Asian countries.

The kids there go nuts over games.

I know that there are pro gamers in Korea.

Anyway, fun chat!

You too, have a good evening.


Hi there are you a baseball fan?

i like baseball.
i usually watch the world series.
You?

I'm a fan.

Did you know that baseball managers wear uniforms because they are technically able to play for their teams if needed.

I think that is a holdover from the old days.

i bet back then a player was chosen to also be manager.

I'm not sure how that worked.

The last one to do that I remember was Pete Rose back in the late 80's.

He played every day and managed at the same time.

yeah, he was a competitive guy.

probably perfect for the dual role of manager/player.

Up until 2005 a married couple scheduled all 2430 major league baseball games played each year for 24 years!

I bet that could get confusing.

Yeah, i figured that was all done by computer.

I guess they had a pretty sweet gig.

Must have paid pretty good otherwise I don't think they would have done it for that long.

A man found 3 million dollars worth of baseball cards in grandfathers attic that were hidden since the 1940's.

He hit the jackpot.

Wow.

I would probably sell some, and keep the rest as an investment.

What would you do?

I would do exactly the same as you.

How could you not pass that up the chance to set yourself up for life?

lol

Yeah, that is quite lucky.
Do you follow softball at all?

I actually enjoy watching college softball on ESPNU!

Really?
the womens game?
do men play as well?

lol I watch the women though because the pitchers really sling that ball to the plate.

On May 11, 1991 Creighton hosted Utah in the longest softball game in NCAA history lasting 31 innings!

Yeah, that underhand pitch can really move.

That is one long game!

Not much of a career after college though.

As of 2014, the average salary for a professional softball player is between $5,000 and $6,000.

No.

Not enough fans to support it.

lol  Jose Canseco claims to hold the record for longest softball homerun at 622 feet.

He might have it.

I've watched him hitting softballs on youtube.

He crushes them even still to this day.

He had the juice to hit the balls a country mile.

I didnt know he played softball.

Check it out on youtube.

I was shocked at how far the balls go.

lol  Kickball is also called soccer-baseball in Canada!

lol It's been fun chatting!

Yes, it has been fun chatting!
Have a good weekend!

You have a great weekend too!


Hi, how are you doing this fine evening?

Hey there I'm doing great.

What did you think about the Disney movie Frozen?

I haven't seen it.
Is it a good film?
It's animated, right?
With lots of songs?

Yes it uses computer animation and it has love songs.

It was super popular.

There's a song that all the little kids were saying called"Let It Go and I guess it's based on the Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale called the snow queen

HC wrote so many great stories.

I read the Snow Queen a long time ago.

I don't remember it.Has the movie won any awards?

I'm pretty sure that it has, I know that it made a ton of money.

Apparently the villain used to sing that song I mentioned, Let It Go, but the song was so happy that they changed the character

that's good thinkg.

I bet the song is up for an award somewhere.

Who were the people involved in the film?

There's like a princess, a reindeer and a snowman, they're like them three most important characters.

Also this is the first movie that was produced by Walt Disney and directed by a woman.

Not many films get directed by woman.
That's good that she got the job.
Good for Disney!
They know how to spot talent.

I think so.

Apparently she was the first female director of a film that earned over 1 billion dollars too.

So that is another record that she set

Disney has won a ton of awards, and I'm sure she'll win awards as well.

Oh I'm Sure.
Do you like dogs by the way?
We used to have a husky ourselves

A dog is a great friend, but no, I have never had a dog.

I enjoy playing with them though.

Dogs are awesome, I think anyway, they have like 12 different blood types and apparently there are dog blood drives that exist

I wonder how the dogs are rewarded at the drive.

People get cookies and orange juice.

I know right?

I hope that the dogs get a treat at least haha.

Did you know that Istanbul has vending machines that reward stray dogs for bringing back trash?

The Turks know the value of recycling and that dogs are keen to help for reward.

Oh for sure!

One other thing I didn't know is that dogs and elephants are the only animals that respond to pointing.

I want a pet elephant haha!

Good luck with that elephant!
Anyway I enjoyed chatting with you!

I enjoyed chatting with you as well!

And yes I'll go to local pet store and see if they have elephants in stock haha

Have a good night

Thanks you too!

And watch out for dogs, they're not actually colorblind but they just don't see as many colors as a normal human can


Ana Gloria Henrequez was from Salvador, trying to get to USA, trying to escape from misery and gangs in El Salvador.

She was caught.

Yeah, I heard about that.
I feel horrible for her young daughter

Sorry, Ana Gloria Henrequez is the grandmother, my bad.

Ximena is the girl and the mother is Cindy.

They said that they never had been caught until Trump's laws.

Yeah, I'm not sure if that actually made any difference.

It just really sucks that even after his executive order ending the separation reuniting families is still so difficult

Yes, I know.

I don't know how they are not keeping track of what child belongs to what mother.

It's terrible to know that the kids were heard wailing and asking for their family members.

It's even crazier that the grandmother could recognize Ximena's voice.

I guess since I've never been a parent, I can't comprehend that

You are right.

Nobody knows how a parent feels until you are one.

Is terrible.

I myself I was thinking that I would prefer stay in my country and don't enter the USA at least while they are taking these measures.

It would be terrible to lose my son or grandkid.

I understand that.

I can also understand wanting to leave when there are gang members on every corner and your little one is just starting school

Yes, I understand that.

It has to be very, very difficult, a terrible decision to make.

But, me, personally, I would prefer to face it together than not know what happened to them.

I don't know, this is a very difficult situation.

Plus, she had to leave her dog behind :( Poor little Cookie

Yes, this is such a terrible story.

Well, Cindy was robbed twice on the bus.

That makes it very difficult to live in a place where you don't have any safety.

I watched an episode of a TV show Shameless recently and it showed an immigrant child separated from his parents in Texas who ended up in foster care in Chicago!

I wonder why people are adopting them.
Praying for them.
Have you seen Frozen?

Many are adopting the kids because they want to give them safe homes!

Oh, then, thank you very much.
Glad to know about this.
God bless them.
Well, I liked a lot Frozen.
Is a fiery Princess.

yes, it was great movie.
And there's a sequel coming out.
I can't wait!

Hahaha, liked the graphics, tooo!

Do you like dogs?

I didn't know that among dogs they have 12 different blood types!!!!!!

Yes, and they even have doggy blood drives ^_^ Did the male love interest have a dog or a horse in Frozen?

I can't remember...

Really, me either.

I have a bad memory for some things.

lol, but I think I will never forget that Minnie Mouse's name is really Minerva.

Really?!

Like the Greek goddess?

That's fascinating to me.

Usually Disney tries to "de-feminize" things rather than feminize them more.

Frozen was supposed to be named Snow Queen but boys often don't see movies that have feminine nouns in the title :/

hahahaah that is so much male, lol.

Nice to meet you, giving to you an excellent, have a nice day!

Have a lovely day as well :)


Hello my Friend?!
Are you a fan of "Frozen" the movie?
I personally Looooved it!

I have not seen the movie.
Is it animated?
Is it for kids?

both!

lol, although Im not a kid so I guess for all haha, I did take my kids to see the movie though.

It came out in 2013 and earned over 1 billion dollars

That's great!
I must be a wonderful film.
It's a disney film, yes?
Lots of songs?

That is correct!

produced by Walt Disney Animated Studios and released by Walt Disney Pictures.

It was so cute!

They also remade Rapunzel as Tangled, have you seen that?

I have not.

I guess the story is basically the same as the fairy tale?

Girl with long hair in a tower?

Yes, another of my favorites!
How about you?
What do you like to watch?

I enjoy watching comedies and dramas.

I sometimes watch animated stuff, but not usually.

Me too, Mysteries or psychological thrillers are great, but animated is one of my favs to watch with kiddos although everyone knows Minnie mouse did you know minnie is short for minerva?!

mind blown

I did not know that.

I'm not surprised that Disney makes about $1,110 per second.

That's a lot, but reflects the success of the brand.

Oh my!

thats awesome!

I guess im not too surprised since the company was founded in 1923!

Almost 100 years old.

The Mouse House will soon have a century behind it.

Wow, well its maintained its popularity very well!

I mean there is a whole subculture dedicated to finding hidden mickey mouse images in all things disney

I've never looked for the hidden images, but I imagine they are there!

It's part of the playful nature of the company.

It wants to create many layers of fun for the viewers.

Yes, and thus I'm not surprised they're so succesful.

That's very creative and engaging, and keeps viewers interested and coming back... genius!

It's ironic that Walt Disney was fired from his job at a local newspaper in Missouri for ''not being creative enough.''

I guess his genius was not recognized because he was ahead of his time.

Wow!

well see, that's why I believe in perfect timing sometimes there are better opportunities ahead of us.

amazing!

Are you interested in dogs?

They are quite clever.

Dogs can learn over a thousand words and  reason better than chimps.

Yes!

I sometimes Love them better than people... they are just full of Love.

Did you know there are 12 different blood types that a dog may have and dog can donate blood at dog blood drives!

I love them even more!

That's great!

They also have 'eureka moments' and enjoy the experience of solving a problem  to obtain a reward.

Much like people!

Yes and they understand by pointing!

How cool is that?

Thats how I get my dog to get my slippers!

Anyway, fun chatting with you!

Namaste :)

Have a good evening!

you too


I have never heard of Fanfest,

Hey!
What is FanFest?
lol

I guess its where the hall of famers meet, At first I thought it said hall of farmers, lol

Ok.
I honestly never heard of.
Do you play video games?

No, But I did not know they were first designed for the military

It could be for training purpose.

I'm wondering why Australia has more banned games than China...

It means some US games also banned...

It's quite strange.

it is like kids in korea being banned playing games after 12

after or before 12?

If after 12, why is it so?

I used to play a lot when I was child.

I'm not surprised that video games make more money abbually than all films from Hollywood.

But would you categorize them as an art form?

Interesting question.
I don't think this is any sort of art.
It could be kind of sport.
I more support this point of view.
How about you?
What's your opinion?

I really not did get into them, But I would consider them an art form

It could be.

At the same time it would be easy to define popularity of such art.

For example, it could be a reason why the rating system was involved in video games.

Maybe I will just go to the fanfest and try the Pitching tunnels, can you throw well

Ok. Do you watch or play any sport?
Like softball or baseball?

I only play have you heard of any of these players like, Davey Johnson?

Yes.
He played in 1970s, right?
Or maybe 1960s...
I don't remember.

I have no clue, But I love the name Rollie Fingers.

Baseball is fun to watch.

I like it.

However, I always have difficulties to hit a ball hahaha

maybe you should go to the show you can get a medal Maybe

Medal would be too much significant achievement.

The Chicago Cubs were the first to win back-to-back world series and haven't won since.

My luck is about the same lol

Thank you for your time but I must go now

Have a good day!
Thanks.

bye

bye!


Hey how are you?

Did you see the FanFest in Miami last year by chance?

No I didn't see that.

It's interesting that 23 former Nationals attended it though, did you see it?

Yah, it was pretty cool.

I didn't catch who the olympic gold medalists were, did you?

They said there were two of them there.

No I didn't catch their names.

But I know that a lot of gold medalist attended as well as some people from the US Olympic softball team, I don't watch sports or the Olympics so I can't say that I know any of the names LOL

Me neither, I wish I knew more about the olympians, they're so elite.

Hard for them to get a lot of recognition though.

You play video games by chance?

Yes I play video games somewhat, used to play Maurice a kid but I don't play that many these days.

What about you?

I'm just glad that I didn't grow up in South Korea because apparently playing a video game after midnight if your under 16 is illegal

Oh wow, I would have never of guessed that.

I played a lot of video games growing up, I think there is a lot of benefit to them.

I play Fortnite now, and I'm in my 30s lol.

Do you still play?

LOL I have heard of the game but I have never played it.

I do know that they did a study and apparently as a planet we play about 3 billion hours of video games a week so I definitely should be playing more perhaps haha

I could definitely see that.

What were your favorite video games?

Jane McGongiai was the game designer behind that study, pretty cool.

Well I really liked the Nintendo 64 and I also like the original Xbox, it's interesting that I played a Toy Story game back in the day and it wasn't actually Tom Hanks who did the voice but his brother Jim Hanks

Wow, I'm surprised they have such similar voices.

I went the Sega to Playstation route, still rocking the PS4, no Toy Story game though.

Yeah the PlayStation 4 is cool.

I'm just glad that we called him video games and not their original name which was the cathode ray tube Amusement device LOL

I like video game a lot more than Cathode Ray Tube Amusement Devices lol, dang military always overcomplicating things.

I agree with you.

Did you ever play the video game LittleBigPlanet or Harry Potter?

Apparently the same person did the narration in both of those video games, his name is Stephen Fry

Stephen Fry from Top Gear?

I'm not sure if it's the same guy, I don't know Top Gear personally, but it could be, do you ever play softball by the way or watch it on TV?

I hear Stephen Fry's name all the time, he must be super famous in the UK.

I don't, you going to spit some softball knowledge my way?

Haha yes I can do that.

It's interesting that the softball is bigger than a baseball because it is about 12 in in circumference, I've never played softball but that seems like a really big ball lol

Yah, it's quite a bit larger than a baseball for sure, I've never seen a softball video game though, have you?

No I've never seen one actually.

It's interesting though that the average salary for a professional softball player is at most $6,000 LOL definitely you're not retiring on that money

Oh wow, definitely not!

Anyways, I am going to get going, great chatting with you, take care and have a great night!

Yes it's been an excellent chat!

And make sure to try out a baseball video game once in awhile, they are actually pretty fun


Hi, how are you?

Good!
You?
Are you into Fiction at all?

A little and I prefer non-fiction.
Do you like it?

I read mainly non fiction too,  but I can get in to some of it.

I think it is cool that there is a wiki that ranks fictional characters according to their powers.

I find that useful too!

Edgar allen poe wrote about a cyborg, the oldest example of it.

Wow, that is kind of neat.

I thought that was a more modern invention.

Me too.
Julius Ceasar wrote fan fiction too!

Wow.

Id like to see what came out of his mind!

I guess it was about Hercules and Oedipus.

George RR MArtin would not have liked that!

Yeah, he things it is copyright infringement.

I dont exactly agree with that.

I don't either.

Imagine being the racist judge who tried to ban a comic book because of a black guy in it.

That is really kind of ridiculous.
I cant even believe that happens.

I know.

I cannot believe people want to upload their minds to computers!

That is odd.

I dont want my innermost thoughts to be displayed anywhere.

There's a reason I buried my skeletons deep!

I wonder if it runs on water like the Russians did in 1936?

Yeah, that is pretty fascinating.

I wonder why we arent exploring that technology more.

They were too busy building a 16-bit computer using minecraft blocks!

I cant believe that was even possible.
I thought minecraft was just a game.
That is crazy

Right?

I wonder who built it too?

I wish my son could do that stuff.

But not smoking.

Smoking near an apple computer voids the warranty.

Good thing I never smoked near mine.
They think it makes it a "biohazard"

Agreed!
Nice chatting with you!


hey there, do you go out and vote during elections?

Hello there, I do like to get out and vote, how about you?

me too.

do you know way back then though how people were appointed in ancient athens?

I guess they were appointed by a lottery of some type.

I think they believed that elections would lead to an oligarchy.

I wonder how that would work today though.

Yeah I don't think that would work very well, but then again, maybe it would work better, who knows.

yeah there is no knowing there.

In Nevada they have a none of these candidate options in the ballot.

Yeah I heard that there were some wild results in the Nevada elections this year.

I did not know about that one.

not a lot of people seems to vote though since less than 63 people go out and vote

Isn't that pretty sad, I guess it hasn't breached that 63% barrier in the last 100 years!

yes it is because it is a right and we are not using it to its best.

That is true.

Did you know that the taller candidate has won the presidential election 75% of the time?

hahaa I really wonder if that has any correlation with how people perceive the candidates

Yeah I guess it must, because that is just way too high to just be chance.

did you hear that international electoral observers were blocked from polls in nine states in 2012

No I didn't hear that, I wonder why they stopped doing that?

maybe they did not trust them, i have no idea.

do you know when republicans and democrats started using red and blue?

No I don't, but probably more than 100 years ago or so, do you know?

It was actually as recently as 2000 so not very long ago.

Really, wow I am really bad at politics I guess.

I did not know it either until now.
It was nice chatting with you.


Poetry is an art that is getting forgotten

It is one of those that I feel like I don't always understand, but love to hear the analysis of and see how deep it can get.

For instance, there is a poem where if you read it one way it's sad, but read it in reverse and it's actually inspirational!

Wow, I bet that poem required a lot creativity, wrtting a poem with completely different meanings, oposing genres, genius

There is one guy that wrote a poem of over 220 words in palindrome (where it is the same backwards and forwards -- like "nurses run")!

Sounds really hard, did you ever read one of Edgar Allan Poe's poems?

I think I read a couple.

I feel like I know them so well because of horror and Halloween stories.

I know "The Raven" was pretty popular.

Do you think he made a lot of money with that poem?

Not really in fact he only made $9 for the publication of that poem, seems really underpaid

Wow!

That is crazy!

I hope he had a good day job.

Maybe just regular fiction works would have been better financially.

I hope he did as well, the raven is like his most popular poem and selling it for $9, business was slow, he also wrote cyborg fiction,

That's pretty cool.

If he'd had a black character in it in the 1950s that was worthy of banning a science fiction comic!

That sounds really racist, theres a wiki rank of fictional characters according to power and abilities,  I wonder who is the strongest hero

Maybe like a Superman type or Hercules?

Funny thing, future emperor Julius Caesar actually wrote Hercules based fan fiction when he was younger.

I wonder what that was like.

I bet it was pretty good, it was about Hercules and Oedipus, I wonder if he was good.

Game of Thrones author, George RR Martin, might not have cared for it.

Maybe Caesar would get a pass, but Martin doesn't care for fan fiction at all!

Yeah I heard he hated fan fiction, he doesnt care about it at all so changing the subject a bit do you use computers a lot?

It seems like that is what I do the vast majority of my day.

I'm not ready to upload my mind to a computer or memory stick like transhumanists, but it is like an extension of me some days.

I agree theres so much we dont understand about the human mind, Transhumanist must be missing key elements of the human essence.

Are you a PC or a Mac?

Be warned that being a smoker an an apple computer user could actually void the warranty as they see it as a biohazard if someone smokes by it.

I am neither, but that's beside the point.

I have a mac and I dont smoke but its good  to know, seems kind of random to void a warranty because of that,

Maybe they should have tried to make a water-based computer, which apparently the Russians were able to make in 1936.

I do wonder what sort of "computer" that was though.

I wonder if they still make computers that ran on water, not sure is the best idea to mix water with tech


Do you like to use computers?

Yes I love computers.

I can't imagine my life without one.

In 1936 the Russians made one that ran on water.

Interesting.

If you think about it, a lot of power comes from water.

Yes such as hydropower.

Apple computer's seem to be quite sensitive because if you smoke near an Apple Computer it voids the warranty.

Interesting.

That doesn't sound true, but I wonder if it is the same for the iphone?

I don't know what you mean?

There is a group called transhumanist's that want to upload their minds to computers and memory sticks!

That sounds pretty cool.
I would do it, would you?

I don't know sounds kind of creepy to me!

Almost like the work of fiction!

Like something from someones imagination!

I think it would be pretty cool.
Do you play minecraft?

I have in the past.

Kind of amazing someone built a working computer using only the mine craft building blocks.

Yeah, that is pretty crazy.
I'm not even sure how that is possible?

Me neither.

I also don't know how the space shuttles general-purpose computer runs on 1 Mb of RAM.

I'm not sure either.
It seems like a small amount of ram.

Yes it does.

Do you like reading fiction?

I kind of like reading things that are not based on history or facts.

I'm not a huge fan of fiction.

Did you know there is a wiki that ranks fictional characters based on powers?

I would like to see that.

Edgar Allan Poe wrote the oldest known example of cyborgs in fiction.

That would be pretty cool.

I wonder what the best fictional character is on the wiki?

Yes I bet superman is up there.

Probably Thor too.

Julius Caesar wrote fan fiction of Hercules in his youth.

He definitely got started early.

Superman definitely has to be up there if not number one.

Well nice chatting with you!

A judge in the 1950s tried to ban a work of science fiction because it featured a black character.

Glad times have changed.

Nice talking to you too!

Nice chatting with you too!


Hi and good afternoon.

Are you a poetry fan?

It has a long history dating back to prehistoric times.

Hi, how are you?
i am not a big fan of poetry.
Are you?

I think it's fun to read sometimes.

The origins are more interesting for me.

Early poems in the Eurasian content evolved from folksongs.

I dont much about poetry.

that is interesting.

i guess poetry and songs would be closely related.

Yes I suppose they would.

They tried to define poetry in ancient Greece such as Aristotle's poetics.

It focused on the use of speech in rhetoric, drama, song, and comedy.

I guess poetry is spoken and written, so it is related to many arts.

Do you have a favorite poet?

I think it's funny when comedians do poetry.

I don't really have a favorite poet.

Demetri Martin wrote a 224 word palindrome!

that must have taken him quite a while.
224 words, backwards and forwards?
my head hurts.

Yes mine hurts just thinking about it.

Edgar Allan Poe is another classic poet and he only received $9 for the publication of his poem the Raven.

He probably spent it on drugs and booze too.

the man was so decadent, but maybe it inspired him.

Yeah you probably did.

I love the hobbit too.

Most of the character names were taken out of an old Icelandic poem called dvergatal.

Yes, Tolkien loved old languages.

he studied them and learned to speak some of them.

That is so fascinating, I love his works of fiction.

I like fiction because it is so imaginative.

What is your favorite genre?

I like non fiction because i want to keep up with what is going on in the world.

That's good and definitely practical.

The author of game of thrones despises fan fiction because he says it is copyright infringement and not a good exercise for aspiring writers.

I kind of see where he's coming from.

the fans should try to write their own stories, not rehash someone else's.

Exactly.

I think it's so funny authors used have to write on old typewriters.

Now they have computers which can basically carry out any sequence of arithmetic or logical operations.

Yes, the typewriter changes the relationship between the writer and the prose.

i figure that the computer makes my writing different.

Yes probably mine as well now that you mention it.

If you have an Apple computer make sure you don't smoke near it because it voids the warranty.

Very nice talking with you this afternoon.

What about vaping?
is vaping ok?
LOL Yes, i enjoyed chatting!

Ha ha that is very important information I need to know too!

Have a good afternoon.


Hello there, do you use Amazon?

Yes, I like Amazon, I like their movie site and their purchase website.

Yeah I use their delivery service quite a bit, especially around Christmas.

Amazon is a super large company, did you know chief executive own the Washington Post?

No I didn't know that.

Do you know how much the first ever Amazon purchase was for?

No I don't know, do you have any idea, if yes how much was the first purchase?

Yeah it was for $27.95 and it was for the rights to name a building after themselves.

Wow, I will always respect Amazon, because they offer thousandth of people employment rather or not they except it.

Yeah they do, do you know that the US postal service has a contract with Amazon to deliver on Sundays?

No I didn't know that, but I notice they Improve their delivery services to only a few days before receiving their packages.

Yeah they do.

On a different note, do you know much about sharks?

No, I don't, but I know there are different kind of sharks and they behave in different ways.

I like seen them on TV, but not in real life.

Yeah I only know a little bit, I do know that because they have no bones on land, a sharks weight would crush its own body.

most people think that all sharks are killer sharks, but I read that all shark aren't killer sharks.

Have you seen the movies about sharks?

No, just tv shows about them.

I think the Greenland shark and 5 gilled sharks are the most interesting.

The Greenland sharks live for a crazy amount of time!

Yes you are right, I didn't know sharks didn't have ribs.

I wonder how they upstand attacks from other animals from the waters?

Yeah isn't that interesting.

I guess they also evolved earlier than dinosaurs as well.

every show played on TV, always wonder how dolphins kill sharks?

I notice dolphins always attack from the side.

Yeah I think you are right on that.

Dolphins are so interesting to me on how they communicate with each other.

Did you know sharks can be trained to bark like a dog?

Really?

That is crazy, I wonder who thought of even trying that.

Well it was good talking with you, I hope you have a good night.


Hello friend, Do you like horses?

I do.

Did you know horses are able to sleep standing up and lying down?

Yes, that is cool.

Did you know that the horse has evolved over the past 45 to 55 million years from a small multi-toed creature, Eohippus, into the large single-toed animal of today?

That makes it even more impressive that there are over 300 breeds of horses in the world today.

Yes, humans began domesticating horses around 4000 BC, and their domestication is believed to have been widespread by 3000 BC.

Some species were domesticated but then some are still living in the wild as feral horses.

I just heard that Icelandic horses have a fifth gear.

Horses are simply fascinating.

Yes, I agree.

There is an extensive specialized vocabulary used to described equine-related concepts, covering everything from anatomy to life stages, size, colors, markings, breeds, locomotion, and behavior.

What do you think about sharks?

Did you know they're sister species to rays?

Yes, fascinating fact!.

And sharks can be trained like dogs to bark.

I kinda feel bad for them.

They have no rib cages so if they ever end up on land, they get crushed by the weight of their body.

Yes, sad indeed.

Sharks even evolved earlier than dinosaurs and trees.

Have you ever seen the white shark cafe?

It's where white sharks meet in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.

No, I've never seen it but I have heard about it.

Did you know that not just dolphins rescue sailors, but sharks too?

I did know that.
Animals cease to amaze me.
We have to protect them at all costs.

I agree.

Do you do any online shopping on Amazon.com?

Amazon sells almost everything from A to Z.

I do.

Did you know Amazon started as an online bookstore?

Yes, and then they later diversified to sell video downloads, MP3 downloads, audiobooks downloads, software, video games, electronics, apparel, furniture, food, toys, and jewelry.

Wow.

Have you read anything about Amazon's proposed second HQ?

No, I did know that Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos built a clock into a mountain that should run for 10,000 years, though.

I did know.

I don't really understand a lot of what Jeff Bezos does.

That money could've been used better elsewhere.

That could be.

Maybe, he makes up for it by keeping his employees healthy.

Amazon warehouse workers walk between 7 and 15 minutes a day as part of their shift.

Nice chatting with you.


Hey!
I've been reading a lot lately.
Do you read any fiction or poetry?

Hi!

Hm.

I don't read much fiction or poetry, but I've been exposed to a lot of it in my lifetime.

Do you have any favorites?

I've tried my hand at creating both, and failed miserably!

It's tough!

It's an art form, that I just can't do!

I've been more into poetry lately.

It's fascinating that it's been around since prehistorical times, with hunting poetry in Africa.

Oh it's fascinating, for sure!

Even more so to me since it eludes my abilities.

heh.

I've read that there is a poem which when read forwards is depressing, and when read backwards is inspiring!

I'd really like to read it, but I can't find anything more about it, as of yet.

That is fascinating.

Similarly, Demetri Martin once wrote a 224 word palindrome poem.

Oh wow!

Now there is a poem, I forgot that I loved!

The Raven, by Edgar Allen Poe.

It's been so long since I've heard it!

I mean like 20+ years!

Something about The Raven rap-tap-tapping on his door, or floor?

Haha.

I heard he only got $9 for the publication of that poem!

Go figure.

Wow!

Just $9?!

Somebody got a bargain!

Did you know Edgar Allen Poe also wrote the oldest known example of a cyborg in fiction?

Pretty diverse author, isn't he?

Oh yeah?

What an interesting person he must have been, in general!

I don't even know what Javanese is , but apparently their alphabet when recited in order, is a poem.

The ABC's are pretty poetic to me, now that we recite them so sing-songy.

I wonder what kind of poems a computer could come up with?

Computers do everything else, they can control microwave ovens, remote controls, robots...why not write poetry, right?

Haha!

I'm slightly certain that soon, they will write poetry.

Computers have come such a long way!

I found something really interesting, in 1936 the Russians made a computer that ran off of water!

I wonder what went wrong with that.

Maybe electricity and water wasn't the best idea?

Computers can be fairly delicate, I suppose.

Smoking near apply computers voids the warranty by making it "a biohazard".

What in the world could that mean?

Hm.. Yeah I know that smoking near them, just really clogs everything up, kind of taking dust and mixing it with the tarry nicotine and it creates a huge mess and can break a computer and completely stop the fans and such, but bio-hazard?

I'm interested to learn why that is.

Kinda scary!

Someone built a working 16 bit computer using nothing but the basic Minecraft building blocks.

I wonder what kind warranty that one has?

Haha!

Woah!

There's a thing called transhumanists I guess, and they want to upload their brains to computers and memory sticks!

I don't want to do that!

One lifetime is okay by me.

I can only imagine the torment of a mind having to just live for possibly forever!

Yikes!

I agree!

What if people tried to read my mind's unpublished poetry!

No thank you!

I have some interesting fan fiction in my head, just like Julius Caesar wrote fan fiction of Hercules and Oedipus.

But that's private!

Haha!

I am quite happy keeping my thoughts to myself!

It sounds like a scary sci-fi movie to me!

My computer brain gets arrested and imprisoned for eternity in 100 years for some crazy new law!

No thank you!

How much memory would it take to store all of us, anyway?

Maybe less than I think.

A space shuttle can run on 1mb of RAM.

That's crazy!

Precisely why I'm not an astronaut!

I wouldn't want to do crazy things such as trust my life to 1mb of ram!

Haha!

There's a good science fiction  book, The Martian, which has some interestin parts about computers and space shuttles.

That author had a pretty good imagination.

Woah!

In the 50's a judge tried to ban a sci-fi comic because it featured a black character!

Thank goodness, we've come a long way from that hatefulness.

But still we have a ways to go, before things are truly equal, really for all races.

Thank goodness, indeed.

I agree with you, though, there is still progress to be made, and I think reading diverse fiction and poetry can help people see things from other perspectives.

Oh absolutely!

Really all art forms and most certainly the internet is going to bring humanity together on a much more even playing field.

It was really nice talking with you!


Hello!
Are you an Amazon Prime member?

Yes, I am and love it!

That two day delivery really comes in handy!

It really does!

Even Sunday delivery rocks especially since Amazon contracted with the USPS.

Yes, I think that was good for the USPS!

How would you like to have a building named after yourself for being a customer and only spend $27.95?

If only I knew about it years ago!!!!!
I didn't realize they own IMDB as well!

I know, I didn't either!

Thinking the amazon warehouse workers don't need a gym membership with walking 7-15 miles each day on a shift!

Omg!

I would be the fittest man alive working there haha.

They ought to use horses there!

Especially Icelandic horses that can speedwalk!

Ha, ha, ha, Yes!!

Good idea, I love horses, Guess you can't ride your horses to school on, no vehicle day or you can get suspended.

Oh I know I saw that two high school students did that!

I remember kids would drive their tractors to my high school!

Oh really, Wow!

Did you know Clint Eastwood is allergic to horses, after riding all those horses in the movies?

You would have never guessed since he rode like hundreds of them!

He should have rode sharks instead!

Well, I guess sharks have been around a long time.

Makes sense they were here before the trees and dinosaurs!

Crazy to think that is one long time!

I didn't know they could be trained like dogs to bark!

I didn't know that either.
I would like to hear that.
I will have to look that up!

They already sound a lot smarter than me haha.

I always wondered why dalmatians were used at firehouses.

I know, isn't it good they helped calm and protect the  horses back then.

Aren't Lipizzaner horses beautiful!

Yes I think it was!

It all makes sense to me now haha.

They really are.

I don't know many animals or things that can change colors of their skin!

Yes it only takes about 6 years, and give great classical dressage performances!

I would love to see them in real life!

I'm good with sharks though although I just snorkeled with some last month!

Really, very cool!
I love to snorkel too!
The coral reefs are so spectacular!
!

They really are!

Well it was nice chatting with you have a good night!
