The telephone has come a long way.

It is awesome being able to connect with others far away

Oh absolutely.

I don't have a home phone that I only have a cell phone, what about you?

The same as well.

I wonder if people still use rotary phone as home phones

I think they do.

My grandma still has a rotary phone and it still works LOL.

It's interesting how New York's area code is two-one-two due to the rotary phone

It is the fastest number to dial on it

Yep exactly.

It's also shocking that there is a phone line that runs across the Atlantic ocean, connects the USA to Europe and is only about three inches in diameter, seems very precarious to me

And it just lays there!

Like I wonder what would happen if a shark bit it?

Hopefully it's protected by metal or something

Did you know people have fantasy drafts for the spelling bee?

No I didn't know that, but they also have fantasy draft for Congress and the laws that they passed, so I guess people will make a fantasy competition for anything LOL

That is crazy.
I wonder how has scored the most points

Yep I don't pay attention to either one so I wouldn't know, but I'm sure some people are very concerned with winning those competitions haha.

What do you think about the human brain?

A single fold can actually change whether you think you are perceivingfantasy or reality which is interesting

Im glad we can tell the difference.

But it would be cool if the stuff we see in films, books, and video games come to life

Yes I'm glad that my brain has the right folds in all the right places haha.

Have you ever read a novel or play by Shakespeare by the way

I have.

He has influenced a lot of todays language

Yes I think so.

He invented the phrases such as laughingstock, Brave New World, and as luck would have it

He even invented names!

I heard about that, he invents the name is Jessica Olivia and Miranda, those are all awesome names!

He is one of the greatest writers of the english language.

Yes and it's interesting that he had an accent that would make his work rhyme better, but since we read his work in our modern accent not all of the lines rhyme

I did not know that.
Have a great day!


Hello, do you use your phone much?

Yes quite a bit.
Do you as well?

I do quite a bit, at work and at home.
Did you ever use a rotary phone though?

I have.

I heard once that it was originally developed by an undertaker.

Yeah quite something.

And also the reason why NY's area code is 212

Oh interesting - what's that about?

It was the quickest number to dial with a rotary phone

That makes sense.

I was thinking that 112 or 211 might be shorter still, but wasn't sure what the rules were back then.

Yeah.
And di you ever use a phone book?

Yes I have, but there a rare commodity these days.

THey are for sure.

And if they get stuck together you cannot separate them

Haha.

I was reading the other day about the winner of the $560 million powerball.

The winner was in a big court fight to remain anonymous.

Yeah that is strange.
DO you enjoy reading

I do.

I don't read as many books as I used to, although I read a good 40-50 articles a day.

Oh wow that is very impressive.
Did you ever read Shakespeare's work?

A few of his plays, back in High School and as a college Freshman.

I think the last one I read was "The Tempest".

Nice.

Did you know that he invented a lot of word and even some names?

Yes and he had some interesting word play.

He sometimes would purposely make grammatical mistakes before key plot points to heighten awareness of his audience.

That is genius.

And he lived at the same time that Pocahontas did

Interesting, I didn't know that.

He's also indirectly responsible for introducing the Starling infestation in the US.

Apparent there was some guy who wanted to bring over each of the birds mentioned in his plays.

Thanks!

Wow, the guy was all over.
Nice chatting with you :)


Are you a fan of Kim Kardashian?
I find her fascinating.

Yes.

Time magazine included kim on the list of most influential people.

Well deserved I think.
Do you ever watch her TV show?

Some times i watched her show very attractive and lot of knowledge.

She's one of the highest paid TV personalities.

In fact in 2015 she was the highest paid reality television personality making over $53 million.

She used to be paris hiltons personal assistant and used to travel with her as her stylist.

I hate to admit it but I first came to know who she was during her sex tape controversy.

Now a days Drama are very rare.
But its very pleasant to see it.

I'm a fan of dramas.

I wonder where the word "drama" came from.

Do you have any idea?

Drama can be combined with music is very good to see it.

That's true.

I've read that Jim Carrey doesn't make dramas any more because they don't allow him to project positivity.

Hugh laurie is the highest paid actor ever for tv drama,.

How much did he make?

$700,000 per episode.

That's a crazy amount.

Did you hear about the thieves in Sweden stealing the country's crown jewels?

The police capture the thieves and recover the jewels ?

Not that i heard.

The last I read was the police spokesman saying he hoped to recover the jewels.

I think its valuable national treasure.

Its duty to all people give clue about the robbery.

I agree.

The robbery seemed well planed & executed by professionals.

They escaped using a speedboat I think.

They're going to have a hard time selling these jewels.

Carol burnett was the first celebrity to appear on the children's series sesame street.

That must have been ages ago.
It was nice talking with you.


Are you a fan of drama?

I am a fan of dramas yeah, I like the opera and ballet as well.

Interesting, have you ever heard of Michael Caine?

Not sure I have, is he a famous drama actor?

He plays Alfred in the new Batmans.

Oh I see, he is a great actor I do like him.

Do you like soap operas?

Not really, I haven't seen any in a long time.

Are you a fan of Jim Carrey?

I am a fan, he is a great actor his more of a comedy actor though

Yeah, I'm not a huge fan of his dramas.
I don't think I've actually seen one.

I don't think so either, his comedy movies are great though, celebrities sure have it hard but they earn a lot of money too.

Yeah, that they do.

Did you know that Judge Judy makes $123,000 per episode?

No didnt know about that, she sure is lucky, thats a lot of money.

YouTube celebrities also make a lot of money

Apparently she is the highest paid celebrity other than LeBron James.

She is?

wow, that is amazing, I wonder how much money LeBron makes then.

I'm not sure, but it is a lot.

Apparently Pixar Studio has a secret room that is visited by celebrities.

They do?

that is crazy, I wonder who has seen that room, another cool facts about celebrities is how Justin Bieber a guy in his 30s was banned from Facebook because he had the same name as the celebrity

Interesting, but not surprising.
I don't use facebook all that often.

I see, I dont use it much either I prefer Instagram.

I think instagram is probably a better platform.

Well, nice chatting with you!

Yea I do like it more, its been great chatting with you as well have a nice day bye.

You too!
Have a great day.


good morning to you!

Goof Morning!
Have you seen Inception?

I have!

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

He is awesome!
Pretty diverse in his abilities!

absolutely.
Did you see Inception?

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

I loved it.

wow, that many times?

Did you ever notice Elon Musk's wife on screen?

No, I didnt.

Although I dont quite know who his wife is.

I'm not sure either, thats a cameo I probably wouldn't notice.

Did you know the movie was supposed to star WIll Smith or Brad Pitt as Cobb?

That would have been entirely different movie

It would have, I can imagine anyone other than Leo in that role.

It took Nolan 10 years to write Inception, so he was probably thinging about it the entire time.

I hope he was happy with the end result!

10 years is so long to be working on something.

It really is, I think the film did pretty well over all.

I think the Dream within a dream concept is neat.

and definitely very unique.

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

True, that ending though!

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

Part of me thinks he was in a dream, but the top wasnt his totem, it was his wifes.

So  maybe it was her dream all along.

That's a good point.

I like the ambiguity about the ended, it keeps people talking!

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

You remember that rotating hallway fight scene?

That wasn't CG at all.

It was just a massive rotating set.

They were really committed to making that scene cool

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

yup, thats the one!

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

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

Nice chatting to you too!
Have a great day!


How's it going, do you watch Horror films?

I enjoy watching supernatural one sometimes

Sometimes.
A Quiet place was pretty scary.

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

What was the name of the family?
I forget.

In the film they were called the Abbotts

Thanks for that.

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

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

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

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

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

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

True.

Did you like Inception?

That movie also began life as a horror flick.

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

I agree.

Ellen Page was also great.

I heard it took Christopher Nolan a long time to write that script.

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

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

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

Pretty amazing the lengths they will go to!

Amazing it was based on a Poe story!

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

Very cool.

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

Never knew that.

Well I got to go, nice chatting with you


Do you like horror films?
I love them.

I do, I love horror films one of my favorite authors is Stephen Kind, his written a lot of books that give me the chills.

I love Stephen King.

Did you know he credits Bambi as the first horror film he ever saw?

Really?

Bambi?

as in the deer?

that is unbelievable, I guess Bambi isnt as friendly as I thought

I guess looking back that it could be quite traumatizing.

The killing of Bambi's mom is rough.

Do you also like the move The Shining?

That is messed up, poor Bambi and yeah I though The Shining was a really scary movie!

It certainly is.

The child that played Danny didn't know he was filing a horror movie.

I'm glad he shielded him from that because that movie is intense.

Yeah that could creat a mental scar for sure, I wonder how they use the waterphone, it must be an interesting instrument

I have heard of that.

That's the one used to make that metallic noise in scary movies right?

Yeah the same one, Im sure I heard that instrument at some point but cant recall on which movie

If it's what I'm thinking it's the sharp noise often used in jump scares.

I could be wrong.

Did you know you can burn over 180 calories watching a horror movie?

I didnt I guess ill rent some scary movies for the weekend then lol, do you use the telephone any more?

I use my cell but mostly for texting.
I hate talking on the phone now/

It can be stressful I agree, its been a long way since rotary phones, New York are code sure resulted convenient at the time.

Yes I think they are 212 because it was fastest.

I'm shocked that the cables that carry our phone and internet across oceans are only 2.7 inches thick!

They aren't even suspended they just lay there.

I wonder what they are made of, it must be a really strong material as you dont hear they get damaged often.

That's a good question.

Apparently Unicef will donate a day of clean water to a child for every minute you do not use your cell phone.

I would like to know how to get signed up for that program.

That is a great campaing, I would like to be a part of it too as well, its also suprising to know that an IPhone has more power than the entire US nuclear deterrant

That's terrifying.

They should really upgrade that.

No one keeps them anymore but if you overlap the pages of two phone books together they are impossible to separate.

Yeah I can imagine its really hard to do so, its amazing how a telephone works, I can be at miles of distance and still be able to talk to others.

It is amazing and we just keep getting more advanced with it.

I agree, its hard to think about whats next, what other inventions will come in the future.


do you like listening to albums?

I sure do.

Did you listen to  Hybrid Theory by Linkin Park?

Yes that is the best selling album of this century

Yes.
DO you know who Reel Big Fish are?

Yes the band that lost the rights to their music so they rerecorded their hits

Yeah.

Do you know which was the best album of 2014?

Yes that was the dark side of the moon which was released 40 years earlier

Yeah.

Have you heard the album straight outta campton?

Of course, it reached platinum without much airplay

Yeah what a success.

In japan twins released an album when they were 100

Yes and it was a rap album out of all genres

Yeah.
do you use facebook?

Yes I do.
DO you know why it is blue?

Yes because Mark is colorblind for green and red

Yeah.

In part of Germany the like button is illegal now

I really wonder what prompted that rule there

Yeah me too.

Did you hear what they are using facebook for in Iceland?

Yes they are rewriting the constitution that way

Yeah.
Do you like Disney movies?

I sure do.

Did you know Lion King was dubbed in zulu?

That is very fitting.
It was nice chatting with you


Do you have a favorite album?

No not really, anything by Taylor Swift or Luke Perry is good for me!

How about you?

I was big into Linkin park back in the day, hybrid theory

Oh thats big in the 21st century.

I think it was the top album of the 21st century

the dark side of the moon has been best seller for 40 years.

I love that album so much!

I also liked NWA back in the day, do you know them?

straight outta compton!

FOR SURE!

that album went platinum without needing major tours or air time!

Thats crazy, I remember hearing it on the radio often though!

Maybe that was after

Probably was, have you heard that japan twins released an album when they turned 100 in 1992

Wow that is crazy.

Reel big fish had to re-record his album after losing his old label

That is awesome, that was really showing them whats up, lol.

Do you use facebook much?

Not much, but I am close to the campus in Menlo Park, ca

How is that?

I bet that is a fun place to work.

Imagine if myspace bought it for 75 million when they could have

Probably better that Zuckerberg kept it.

For sure, myspace would have screwed it up somehow lol.

I wonder if it even exists anymore.

Yeah, its worth 104 billion now

wow, that would have been a solid investment.

Have you heard about the promotion Burger king once had?

I dont know why they would want people to unfriend others.

That is true, I would have unfriended like 100 people for 10 whoppers!

Dang...whoppers.
Im going to unfriend some now lol.
Take care.

I am going to also, lol.
Great chatting with you!


Hi!

Guess what's the only kind of fish that has a neck?

Hello!

I have zero idea what fish has a neck, can I have a hint?

Seahorses!

Cool!

I might have guessed right if I had known seahorses were considered fish.

Yes, not everyone knows that.

Did you know that there is an immortal species of jellyfish?

I believe I've seen something about that on a nature special.

Yes, fascinating.

And there is a species of fish that can eat animals twice its own length and ten times its weight.

Guess what it's called?

Would that be the black swallower fish!

Yes, the black swallower!
I wonder how big it is.

It's only 10 inches long, can you believe it?

Very fascinating.

Indeed.

Fish are a taxonomic group defined by exclusion.

I wonder if the way they're categorized will change as we come to understand them better.

I believe so, it's just so much to learn!

For instance, do you know how fresh water fish drink water?

By osmosis!

But salt water fish can also swallow water with their mouths.

That is correct!

I wonder if there are any genetic studies being done that correlate with humans.

That would be interesting.
Like the zebrafish studies.

Ah yes!

84% of the genes associated with human disease can be found in the zebrafish.

Yes.

I wonder what kinds of studies have been done using zebrafish.

It seems like there have been genetic studies to help humans find cures to certain ailments, that's awesome.

Yes, I hope it has been helpful to us.

So do I.

Just like I think this chat has been very helpful.

It has!
Have a great day!


Service dogs recently had an outing at Disneyland - a special day for dogs assist vets and the disabled.

Great idea or what?

I think it is a pretty cool idea.
Are you a fan of Albums?

Do you mean record albums?

Yeah, did you know Aerosmith made more money from Guitar Hero than any other album?

Really?
Remember the group.
Did they mostly have hits in the '90s?

They have both 70s, 80s, and 90s hits.

Do you know the Arctic Monkeys?

No, I'm not familiar with who they are.
Are they a band?

Yes.

Seems they released an album with a track called, "The World's 1st Ever Monster Truck Front Flip" which fans like.

Song title sure is a mouth full!

Interesting, do you use Facebook?

No, not anymore.

Too much invasion of privacy and control of news content users see.

Do you agree w/Zuckerberg's responses to congressional committees?

I'm not sure, he's just a kid in my opinion.

He's not a business guy, that much is clear.

A smart kid.

And a rich kid, since Facebook is now worth well over $104 billion.

What is the best use of Facebook, do you suppose?

Yup, he is pretty smart, luck has a lot to do with it as well.

I don't know, I don't use it anymore either.

LOL

Are you a Disney movie fan?

Somewhat, when I was younger I was.
What about you?

As a kid, yes.

Liked "The Lion King".

James Earl Jones voiced the father lion.

Plot had good message about overcoming loss; learning to accept responsibilities.

Do you agree?

I didn't know that.
He also voiced Darth Vader.

Right.

Did you know that Lion King was the 1st film Disney dubbed into Zulu to release movie in Africa?

No, I didn't kow that.

The Disney's Big Hero 6 was made on a 55,000 core supercomputer.

Didn't know that.

Wonder what they type of computer looks like.

Have you seen it?

I'm not entirely sure.
But it was nice chatting with you.


Hey how's it going.

What do you think of fish?

I think they are pretty interesting.

They don't have any limbs or digits for Pete's sake.

I adore fish!

I've had many fish in my life.

I've even had small sharks in my house,when I was a kid.

I still have fish.

Goldfish, koi, guppies, etc.

Did you know the oldest known living goldfish was 43 years old?

That is epic.

I want a big fish tank like that.

Thats amazing.

The black swallower can even eat prey twice its length and ten times its weight.

I would love to see that in action!

It seems impossible.

I'm not familiar with the black swallower.

But I do know that Koifish which are related to goldfish, can live up to 226 years.

Which blows my mind!

What a long life!

Truly amazing.

The only fish to have a neck is the...seahorse!

I love seahorses!

What a neat fact!

I had no idea!

They are very hard to keep in a home fish tank but I've had some before.

Here's a fun fact!

Jellyfish are 98% water which is why they evaporate in the sun.

Can you imagine being 98% water?

Weird!

Haha that is hard to believe!

There is apparently a jellyfish breed that is immortal!

That's just mind blowing!

I think that aquatic life is truly amazing and so unique compared to other species of animals.For example, there's a species of fish that lives on land for its entire adult life!

I'm not so sure I'd classify those little guys as fish even!

Wow yeah good point.

I always thought freshwater fish drank water through their mouth but apparently that is only saltwater fish!

Hm, that's interesting!

I should know more about that but I don't.

I do know that some fish like goldfish and others can breathe atmospheric oxygen through their mouths which is pretty interesting.

Yeah cool.

Another interesting fact is that Zebrafish have 84% of genes known to be associated with human disease.

Oh wow, I wonder how that may be playing out with scientific advances in medicine and such.

I'd definitely look into it, if I were aiming to cure human diseases.

I think my favorite fish might be the barreleye fish, which has a transparent almost see-through head!

Whoa I need to look that fish up!

Do you ever see fish videos on FB?

I don't use facebook that much they just get too much money from ads.

Oh yeah.

I had to stop using Facebook a long time ago!

It feels like they are taking over the world!

And I don't feel comfortable with that!

Haha.

I was reading about how one third of all divorces mention the word facebook in the divorce filings.

That's just too much reach that facebook has in my opinion!

Yeah FB is influential in so many things.

It has come a long way since 2004 when it was launched.

I don't like it at all!

I mean, something like 30% of all American adults use it as their primary source of news!

How scary is that?

Haha.

Not that I can't blame them for wanting more from news, than news stations on TV give.

But getting it from FB!

That's crazy.

Very scary.

I wonder how different things ould be if Myspace purchased facebook in early 2005.

They had the chance to buy it for 75 million!

Wow!

Myspace really must regret their decision not to buy FB at this point, Crazy!

I wonder how different life might be if instead of calling it a "like button" facebook called it "the awesome button" like I heard they almost did!

Crazy.

Celebrties also use facebook a lot to increase their wealth!

Well nice chatting with you!

Yeah , for sure crazy!

I don't miss facebook at all!

Plus it didn't increase my wealth.

Ha!

For sure, it was very nice chatting with you as well!

Ok have a good day now!


Have you ever been to Prince Edward Island?

I have only been to Montreal in Canada.

I havent, I heard its a great place with a lot of attractive sites, and was it nice?

It is very nice.

There is a section that has all the new modern stores and restaurants and an older section with great architecture and smaller stores.

I see, one of the most attractive places must be the Verdant island, it  has an interesting mix of colors and I can imagine beautiful landscapes happening there

I would like to visit there for some fresh seafood, I've never had a meal from a place close to the water.

Yeah I heard about the sea to table and farm to table communities, food must be great and another reason to visit the place

We have one farm to table restaurant near where I live, it takes almost a year to get a reservation!

Wow a year!

I hope its worth it though, many of those businesses are actually family owned right?

That one is owned by a family farm business.

They have other restaurants but this is a smaller, more intimate experience.

It takes so long to get a table because they don't have many seats and they only do it certain days.

Oh I see, so whats is your favorite breakfast meal?

I love omelets with a cup of coffee, just makes me start the day on a positive note

I've been cooking eggs in a muffin tin with vegetables and cheese.

It's sort of a mix between an omelet and a souffle.

Plus you can make them and refrigerate them for the week.

Sounds like a good meal I might try to do it one of these days, I also like French toast my mom is allergic to gluten so it's a good thing many restaurants have gluten free menus as well.

I feel like a lot of people have taken up gluten free as a fad but it has really helped those who suffered from a gluten intolerance because it's become more widely known now.

Yeah for instance the Bavarian Breakfast, its worth $11 but its one of my favorite gluten free choices

That sounds delicious, is that your favorite omelet?

It's on my ranking for sure, I dont think it's my favorite but top 3, its made with potatoes, bacon and onions so that's a great combination.

That is a classic breakfast combination.

I usually stick to pancakes and waffles if I'm not eating eggs but that is not very gluten friendly.

Yeah not a healthy option for someone alergic lol, do you like seafood?

oysters?

I do like seafood but not raw seafood that much.

I have never been a big fan of raw oysters, I do not like the consistency.

How about you?

I love oysters, theres a great place to get them they are expensive though like $1.95 for each and that's a small one.

There a few places in my area that have specials where they are a dollar each.

That would be a good deal if I liked them.


I believe that service dogs are such a necessity for the handicapped.

Yes it helps veterans and individuals with handicaps be more independent.

I agree.

Recently Disney Land had a service dog field trip.

The outing was organized by Canine Companions who raises adn trains service dogs.

They even gave the dogs Mickey Mouse eats.

And poor Pluto got jealous because the dogs were allowed to roam free at Disneyland.

Ha ha yes.

I believe it was a very nice gesture on the part of Disney Land.

I would have loved to have seen that.

It sounds adorable.

Sure does.

Have you ever been to the Walt Disney Studios?

No I have not.
It sounds like a good time though.
Have you?

No but I would like to one day when I am in Burbank, CA.

I'm much further away so it would be more difficult.

Did you ever watch American Choppers?

I have heard of it but never watched it since I don't get Discovery Channel.

I see.

Well apparently it has returned to popular culture and there is even a meme featuring shouting between the stars.

That's interesting.
I prefer Disney films instead.

I do too but it's difficult not to see the most popular memes if you are on social media.

Users have been using the scene of the argument to form their own memes including ridiculous arguments, philosophical debates, and more.

Do you like animation films like those produced by Pixar?

I do.

It's not my favorite genre but I do enjoy them from time to time.

I liked Wall-E.

Bambi was my first animated movie.

Disney used a special camera to make it look realistic.

Really?

I was not aware of that.

Do you know anything about how it was different?

I can't remember what my first animated movie was.

Well the camera is supposed to change the speed and distance of moving pieces but it's been so long since I've watched it to remember specifically.

That's very interesting.

I did recently find out that Wreck-It-Ralph started development in the late 80's.

That's so shocking to me.

I wonder how many rewrites were needed just based on how many characters are in it that spanned so long after.

That is interesting.

I understand why Walt Disney Pictures is called one of Hollywood's Big Six.

Yes especially recently with all of their acquiring of properties.


Hello, did you know the only fish to have a neck is a seahorse!?

so interesting.

Hi.

very interesting.

I like fish.

If you get a goldfish it might be around a while.

Like the one that live to 43!

Wow thats crazy!

Yes it is.

There even a species of fish that lives on land all its adult life.

So crazy!

Wow what fish is that?

I watch a show last week and I forget the name but there is a shark that can walk on land with its fins,  insane.

Haha I want to look that up later.

I don't know the name of that fish, but there was once a koi fish that lived to 226 years old!

How does anyone even keep track of their age lol There is a breed of jellyfish and lobster that are immortal!

Wow how is that even possible?

Speaking of jellyfish, they can evaporate in the sun because they are 98% water!

If nothing kills them then their organs or body stay the same,  they dont age or lose function......but lobster is delicious so I really doubt they are immortal lol

Haha oh lobster is sooo good!!

I see a lot of lobster dinner pics on facebook.

There are more people on facebook than there were people in the world 200 years ago!

That is not surprising!

Myspace turned down an offer to buy facebook in 2005

Bet they are kicking themselves now no doubt.

Facebook has 56 gender options that is ridiculous lol.

Wow way to cater to everyones preferences though!

That is considerate!

Agreed.

The like button on facebook was almost named the awesome button if it were up to the facebook engineers!

I like the awesome button way better than the like button lol

Same it would be way more dramatic!

Facebook also seems to play a big part in divorces unfortunately.

I think people are more responsible for that lol

Yes most of them are lol.

A lot of celebrities are always getting divorced.

I hope Justin Bieber lasts with his wife.

The actual Justin Bieber, not the guy with the same name who got kicked off facebook!

oh wow,  theres someone named justin bieber ?

lol thats weird.

Haha yeah.

Kind of unfair he had to be blocked out of his facebook.

Yeah,  he probably was doing something to be blocked though.

Its been fun chatting,  great conversation!

thank you.


Hi, how are you?
Do you watch YouTube?

Hello there, I'm good thank you, I hope you are too.

I use it all the time, mostly for music, how about you?

I use it to listen to music and sometimes watch shows.

Did you know that Youtube is the second largest search engine on the net?

I didn't know that but that is very interesting.

I find is crazy how popular it is with kids these days.

I guess it is.

So many people go there and upvote things.

Psy's "Gangnam Style" got so many views that Youtube  had to upgrade the view count integer to 64 bits.

That is hilarious!

Do you know what the most disliked video on YouTube is?

I bet I could guess.
Something by a boy band?
A pop star?

Yeah you are on the right track.

It's a Justin Bieber video for the song, 'baby'.

I don't know the song, and now I really don't want to.

Police departments actually have their own Youtube called Blutube, where they share law enforcement videos.

I wonder what's on there.

Yeah i wonder what kind of stuff they could show on there but not on regular YouTube?

I guess it has to do with weapons, drugs, gangs, stuff like that.

Maybe the cops even do some rapping on there.

That would be pretty funny if there were some cop rap videos.

I don't think they'd have much cultural significance though.

Tupac Shakur's music is in the library of Congress for its "cultural significance."

That is really cool and I think that is really deserves to be in there as well.

He was a talented guy.

Danced ballet in high school  Eminem is another talented guy.

Before he became a rapper, his true dream was to become a comic book artist.

That is an interesting fact, I wonder what type of characters he would have created had he gone into that field.

His favorite superhero was spider-man.

Probably something along those lines, maybe?

Yeah I think that is a safe bet, I think he would have come up with some really cool villains though.

I'd like to see Eminem do like the Korean rappers that invented a new type of freestyle, it's called "compliment battle".

That would be a cool YouTube video to watch!

Very true.
Anyhow, I enjoyed chatting!
Have a good night!

Same to you!


Hi there.
Do you use computers often?

Pretty much all day, you?

Yes I use it a lot as well.

There is a group of people called transhumanist's who want to want to upload their minds to computers!

A bit odd.

And memory sticks!

Yes you are right!

But if you own a apple computer make sure not to smoke near it as it voids the warranty.

Apple claims it a biohazard?

Yes a bit extreme if you ask me!

People are so innovative.

For example, someone built a working computer using nothing but the basic minecraft building blocks!

How many bits was it?

It was a 16 bit computer, which isn't extremely impressive but still cool!

Is that more than the space shuttle computer that had one mb?

No it would be less!

I wonder how many megabytes the computer was that ran on water, built by the Russians...

Wow, that is amazing.
When?

Yes it really is impressive.
Especially since it happened in 1936!

That is incredible for 1936!

Agreed.

Do you ever dance?

I think it is a beautiful, aesthetic, and symbolic form of human movement.

No but I heard Tupac was a ballet dancer?

Yes!

He actually portrayed the Mouse King in the Nutcracker!

Crazy.

I heard professionals wear out 4 pairs of ballet shoes per week?

Yes I think the shoe makers need to work on durability.

Have you heard that babies spontaneously dance when they hear music?!

How adorable lol.

I have heard that and parrots too!

Hah that is hilarious.

I like when baseball players dance when they hit a home run.

It is funny to watch.

Hey it was really nice chatting with you tonight!

Have a good one


Do you like youtube?

I'm on it quite a lot.

My kids still like Psy's Gangnam Style video.

So weird.

lol what a great dance!
I heard that song almost broke youtube!

Can't believe how popular that was.

My daughter's also a Justin Bieber fan.

I'm unfortunately am not so we get into arguments sometimes about what she's watching.

lol I disliked that video when it came out, I am with a lot of people because that is the most disliked video on youtube lol

You're talking about Bieber's song "baby?"

Yeah, I didn't like that song either.

I've been trying to find older albums on youtube.

Stuff like Linkin Park or Reel Big Fish.

yea, terrible song lol.

I loved Linkin Park, especially Hybrid Theory

I heard it's the best-selling album of the 21st century.

You listen to anything in particular?

Just rock and some rap here and there.
How about you

Been trying to revisit some older rap groups.

I was pretty square in my younger days so didn't listen to it much.

Was told NWA's Straight Outta Compton is a classic.

I loved NWA's straight outta compton, nothing better than being a high schooler back in the day bumping that lol!

They went platinum

Yeah, didn't know how well that album did.

I used to like beatboxers.

Always found that fascinating, how they could create all those rhythms without any accompaniment.

for sure, I practiced that and got decent at it and busted it out sometimes at parties lol.

Did you ever hear about the twins from japan who released an album at 100?

That sounds awesome.

I've got to look that up.

Seem like it of "cultural significance" for many cultures!

I think rap's even pretty big in Korea.

I heard about Korean rap, they have rap battles that are compliment battles.

I would like to see that

That sounds cool.

Guess rap is a legitimate form of music.

I know my dad hated it.

But hey, the Library of Congress seems to think it's a worthy art form.

Think they deemed Tupac's music as culturally significant.

That is a good feat by Tupac, making rap music significant.

My dad hated it too lol.

Did you ever watch the rugrats movie, Busta Rhyme was the voice of Reptar

Really?

That was the dinosaur thing right?

Kind of "bad boy."

Speaking of which, isn't that the name of P. Diddy's record label?

Sorry like I said, I'm pretty square.

Yea lol, the dinosaur.
I think it is lol, bad boy records.
It was so nice chatting with you!

Nice chatting with you as well.

Gonna go look up some LL Cool J and Run DMC now.

Take care.

I will too!
loved those rappers!
Enjoy your weekend!


What do you do for fun?

I like to go walking and exploring.
Do you like dancing?

I like it but am not good at it lol

I'm not either, unless there are spirits involved!

I do like watching videos of dancing sometimes though!

I think many martial artists are great dancers since they have trained their bodies like bruce lee

He won the hong kong cha cha championship in 1958!

That's awesome!

Did you know that michael jackson's signature extreme lean is thanks to a device?

I wonder how much is device and how much is ability

That's pretty cool!

It must be a pretty crazy device!

Tupac played in the Nutcracker in highschool.

I have seen the nutcracker.

It was an amazing performance.

Similar to the lion king on broadway and vegas

Yeah, it is a really beautiful production.

Do you like computers?

Yes, in fact I am even using it right now

Lol!

Me too!

The russians once made a computer that runs on water!

I wonder how that even works.

Does the water generate electricity for a computer or is it a part of the computer?

I really have no idea, but I wonder why it didn't take off into production.

Would have been a pretty cool invention.

Perhaps it was too large or impractical

That could be true.

If I recall correctly computers once used to be the size of a house when they were first invented!

Man technology sure has advanced.

Did you know someone built a computer using nothing but basic mine craft blocks?

A computer in a computer lol

Lol, I'm not even sure how that could be done!

Smoking next to an apple computer voids the warranty!

I wonder how apple would even check that!

I'm guessing theres something inside it that they could check that shows up if it has been around smoke.

I do wonder how often they check it though!

True true.
In any case, thanks for chatting.


Do you listen to much music?

Yes I listen to a lot of rap, I even listen to Craig Mack after he left the NBA, he became a rapper

I did not know he became a rapper!

I loved NWAs album, they went platinum without air play or major tours needed!

Impressive!

I also like the band Radiohead, did you know that the singer Thom Yorke was credited with playing the"laptop"on albums

I did not know that.
I like them.
Were you a fan of linkin park?

I like some of their songs.

I was sad that the lead singer passed away, did you ever listen to Bob Marley by the way

yea it was sad.

Their album is the most selling one in the 21st century

Wow that's impressive!

Also impressive how Bob Marley has been on the top album chart for over 914 weeks

Dang, I did not know that.
I love Bob Marley!
I have his album.
Do you like him

Yes, I think he's pretty good, right now his album is at the 69th spot.

lol, that is funny.
Are you a tupac fan for rapping?

I think he's ok.

I'm more prefer Led Zeppelin though in terms of Music, apparently they didn't title their fourth album which is awesome

Nice, both are great.

Tupac's music is in the library of congress under cultural significance

All that is interesting, just don't buy his albums at Walmart because they only sell the clean versions LOL

I would never lol!

I would watch youtube instead for music.

Do you use youtube much?

Yes I watch YouTube a lot.

Did you know that YouTube actually started out as a dating website

WHAT?

I did now know that lol.

I wonder if it stopped when too many people disliked the baby video by Bieber lol

I wonder about that too, I don't know why they think it's such a bad song LOL.

Did you know that the first video on YouTube to be uploaded was actually one of a guy talking to an elephant

I will look that up now!
Good chatting with you!

Yes you too, make sure you look up some Bob Ross painting videos on YouTube as well LOL

bye!


Hi there!

Do you listen to albums or have any favorites?

hi how are you?
i do listen to albums.
i was recently listening to bill evans.
you?

Nice!

One of my favorites in Linkin Park's "Hybrid Theory".

It's one of the best selling albums of the 21st century!

Are you familiar with it?

Is Bill Evans country?

i havent heard it.

but those linkin park kids sure could rock.

Bill was a jazz pianist.

worked with Miles Davis.

Ahhh...ok.

I thought I heard the name before just couldn't place him.

Were you a Pink Floyd fan?

They released Dark Side of the Moon over 45 years ago now.

In 2014 is was still one of the best selling albums of that year.

Yeah, i liked floyd.
they had a great sound.
they continue to gain fans.
have you done the dark side of oz?

What is that?
lol

You watch the wizard of oz from 1939. at a certain point in the film, you start the dark side album.

it synchs up with the film.

i have never done it, though

Interesting!

I will have to try it.

Two indentical twins from Japan released a rap album when they turned 100 years old in 1992!

Good for them!

Are you a fan of rap?

I am not a fan, but i would love to hear that j-rap.

it would be cool to hear them spit mad fire about arthritis.

LOL

lol  I'm not a fan either.

But, I would like to hear the Korean rappers who invented a new freestyle called "compliment battle"  That might be entertaining!

That is a totally representative form of rap for korea.

culturally they must show respect.

i think that is cool.

I agree!
Are you a youtube user?
I watch it a lot.

I do watch youtube a lot.

i listen to old songs, and sometimes watch the news and documentaries.

Same here.

I watch a lot of concerts.

Did you know that it's also the 2nd largest search engine on the internet?

Yes, google bought youtube many years ago, so they share search engine tech.

I saw that.

They bought youtube in 2006 for $1.65 billion!

it seems like a lot but i bet they are making a ton of cash on ad revenue.

Oh yeah.

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

So there's lots of eyes to view those ads.

Yes, people love their video.

i guess that the kids will be glued to the screen forever.

Anyway, great chat!

No doubt!
Thanks for the chat too!
Have a good night!


Hi, how you doing tonight?
Do you use YouTube?

Hey there I use you to almost every day.

What about you?

It's crazy that it's the second largest search engine on the internet

I'm not surprised.

Youtube was bought by google.

I guess the search engine technology is great.

Yeah it's crazy that they bought them.

I would imagine Google is the number one, and then with YouTube as number two, they are definitely controlling a lot of the internet have you ever seen the music video to Psy's Gangnam Style?

No, but it was crazy popular.
I saw a commercial that used it.

Yeah it was definitely popular.

YouTube had to upgrade the integer that does view counts on their site to 64-bit just because that video has so many views

Wow.
Psy broke the counter!
Amazing!
I guess I should check out his video.

Yeah you should.

You should also check out the music video Baby by Justin Bieber, it's the most disliked music video on YouTube actually

Um, maybe I won't check it out if people hate it.

I'm not into Bieber, but I guess people hate him as well.

Yeah some people love him and some people hate him.

Did you know that Netflix and YouTube makeup half of all internet traffic?

Imagine if one went down, that would be insane

If YouTube went down, it would be bad.

If Netflix went down, civilization would stop.

Yep people would probably riot in the streets haha.

Unless they switched over to blue tube, it's like YouTube but only for police, maybe they could get their fix there

The police would need to consult Bluetube to figure out what to do about the riots when YouTube and Netflix went down.

Yep I agree haha I would use it for training for dealing with the crowds LOL.

How often do you listen to rap music by the way?

I'm not really into rap.
I prefer melody and harmony.

Yeah I don't like rap that much either, I know that Tupac Shakur has music in the Library of Congress, I don't think his music is that good and it doesn't have cultural significance either

He probably appeals to enough people and represents a segment of American society.

Not mine, but someone's.

Yep that is probably what it is.

Also, Busta Rhymes did a voice in that Rugrats movie, I like Rugrats but I don't like Busta Rhymes LOL

I guess he is good with his voice, perhaps good with voice overs.

Anyway, I enjoyed chatting with you!

Yep it's been fun.

And watch out for Eminem, his favorite superhero with Spider-Man, very strange I would not have guessed that

True!
Have good night!

Thanks you too, and I hope if you're ever in legal trouble the judge does not give the ruling as a rap like she did with Eminem!


Do you watch YouTube?

I love YouTube!

I'm actually listening to music on youtube now haha Do you?

I listen to music, watch videos, just about everything!

Same here, i am on a horror fetish right now on youtube too haha

I cant say Im with you there, I dont care too much to be scared.

Yeah not everyone is i just like that Youtube offers horror movies!

It is really cool!

There is something for everyone, even for people who like Justin Bieber.

Yep, that is even how he got noticed was through youtube!

Although, people didnt care too much for his Baby, its the most disliked video.

Yea, do you blame people but they still wanted to watch his youtube video though haha

true, cant argue that point!

Did you also know that there are 70 full episodes of The joy of painting on youtube also, i loved Bob Ross

There is?

That would be awesome.

He is pretty iconic, painting those happy little trees.

Yeah, he has his own channel dedicated to those happy trees!

I might have to check that out, see if I can paint along with him.

Cool, i'm sure he will be happy if you did!

Netflix and youtube together make up half of peak internet traffic.

That's pretty interesting since Youtube and Netflix are internet based companies!

I am always contributing to that, one way or the other!

Yeah me too and did you know that Youtube first started out as a dating website?

Of course that makes sense since its name youtube

It is also the second largest search engine.

I believe it!

It has been great chatting!
I have to get going.

Ok, it was great chatting with you too!
Have a great night, take care!


hi how are you?
doyou like to dance?

Hello.

I like to dance in front of the mirror sometimes.

Lol.

I havent done much dancing otherwise.

I am a terrible dancer.

it is better if i do not dance in front of others.

i could do them harm.

LOL

That makes me think of bruce lee.

He was a very good dancer, winning the 1958 cha cha championship.

Plus he could also do some harm to people.

Yes, i hope he didnt do any harm on the dance floor.

i am sure that i would have done some harm LOL

Lol.

Tupac was also a dancer in high school.

He danced ballet.

Not exactly what I would have pictured from him.

me neither.
he was a guy with a tough image.
but i bet he was graceful too.
he was a back up dancer for a band.

I didnt know that.

I did hear that michael Jackson has a patent on a device he used in his dancing.

that is smart.

michael was an innovator.

it is important to hold on to clever ideas.

I bet i would have trouble using those shoes though.

LOL

He really was.

On another topic, are you a baseball fan.

Yes, i do like baseball.

i dont get m,uch chance to watch it though.

i try to watch the world series.

I used to collect baseball cards when I was a kid.

I heard about this guy that found 3 million dollars worth of old cards in his grandpas attic.

That would sure be nice.

that sure would be nice.

LOL i would probably sell a few of them, and keep the rest for the future.

those things would appreciate.

# million dollars is a lot of money though.

I think I could find some better investments to put that money into.

Yes, i would look for better investments to.

baseball cards are cool, but money is better.

Were you aware that baseball managers wear team uniforms?

I thought about that, and i think that in the old days, one of the players was chosen to be a manager too.

Actually its because the manager is able to play if he needs to.

I have never seen that happen though.

it would be funny to see that happen nowadays.

all the managers playing at the same time.

LOL

Or if they just had one manager pinch hitting and the other pitching.

They could face off for the last out of the game.

That would be pretty awesome.

Yes, the old guard out there, do or die!

Anyway, thanks for the chat

Have a good one.


hello, do you listen to music?

hey there, yes I do , I like Led Zeppelin a lot, also Pink floyd what about you?

Nice, I like Linking Park.

Did you know they have the best selling album of 21st century?

that is wild, I think its funny though that Led Zeppelin didn't name their fourth album just to mess with teh rock press at the time

I guess they wanted them out of their hair.

Yeah, that Linkin Park album is called Hubrid Theory

ah I'll have to check it out, have you ever bought an album at walmart?

I guess they only sell clean versions of albums

Oh I did not know that.

I would like to get the album of those Japanese twins that was releases in 1992

haha ya I wonder how good it is, did you know there is a deaf rapper who raps in sign language?

That is so cool.

Yeah I wonder too because they were 100 years old when it was released

interesting, and yes this deaf rapper's name is signmark, do you thinkwhen he performs there is a translater for hearing people?

haha

Wow, talk about different.
Do you know bhusta rhymes?

I know of him but haven't listened to his songs, do you have any recommendations?

I am not too big of a fan but I read that he voiced the reptar wagon in the 1998 rugrats movie

haha ah ya I have to check that, do you know that the worlds fastest rapper can do about 14 syllables per second?

Wow, that is crazy fast.
Have you heard of compliment battel?

haha yes don't they do that in Korea?

Do you know the real name of the rapper Childish Gambino?

No actually I do not.
What is it?

well it's Donald Glover, I guess he got the name from an online name generator haha

Hahaha that is one way to do that.

Do you know hwich is the most disliked video on youtuibe?

No I don't what is it?

I do know that youtube did start as a dating site though

It is Bieber's Baby.
Nice chatting with you


hELLO, DO YOU USE A COMPUTER?

I do use it every day.

DId you know that someone built a working 1 bit computer using the basic minecraft building blocks.

Yeah, that is awesome huh?

And that the space shuttle's computer only uses 1mb ram

Yeah there is more ram in my phone.

That's crazy.

The russians once built a computer that ran on water in 1936.

Wow thats cool, i wonder the world doesnt use it now.

Talk about eco friendly!

I believe it was just used to measure for pouring concrete.

That's true but could you just imagine

So have you heard of these transhumanist.

They want to upload their minds to computers and memory sticks.

Yeah, they are already trying to make it a reality using AI

That would be cool if you could live in a computer.

Sit in the den of the house so all the family members can come ask your advice for the rest of eternity.

Yeah, your consciousness would even retain your memories, cool

So do you like baseball.

I am with the japanese who are surprised that it is our national past time.

I love baseball, yeah they were totally shocked!

Did you know that the manager is allowed to play in the gam.

That why they wear a uniform.

Yep, but of course if absolutely necessary.

Some of them aren't in the best shape!

Lol.

that is true.

I never really played baseball.

I played kickball or as the canadians like to call it soccer baseball.

Yeah, i loved kickball i played it as a kid in elementary school

Me to.

It was always a good time.

Did you hear about the man who found 3 million dollars worth of old baseball cards in his grandpas attic?

WOW, i hope he sold them and got the money!

I think I might have kept a few of the most expensive ones.

So how do you feel about dancing?

yeah, you're right!

I love to dance i go dancing every weekend and you?

Yeah I love to go dancing.

I hope you have a good rest of your day.

Yeah, i hope you do too, it was a great chat!

Bye


do you like fish?

I do, tasty animals, do you?

fish is practically a vegetable.
they are the food that my food eats.

Yeah except for fish like the black swallower fish, I hear that one likes to bite

I envy that fish's ability to eat.
that is a glorious spectacle.
I would go to the buffet everyday.

Buffet is my favorite kind of restaurant so yea, did you hear about that breed of jellyfish, the one that is immortal!

i did not.

i wonder what it does all day with its unending life.

must get kinda boring.

who does it talk to?

what celebrities does it follow?

I agree, must be a really boring life, still, interesting species might be worthwhile to study them

true.

they might hold the secret to immortality for us.

that would indeed be a long boring life for most people.

I think death is a necessary part of life so yeah, there is also a breed of zebrafish that has 84% of the counter genes that cause disease on humans

the zebra fish could also hold some secrets about how to prevent and cure disease.

maybe our fishy friends could be a great benefit to us.

We should really study them also the seahorse is the only fish with a neck

that is a unique problem too.

hard for the seahorse to find a chiropractor.

who is your favorite celebrity?

One of my favorite celebrities was Robin Williams, the voice of Aladdin so sad how things ended for him

he was very sick and very sad.

i wish they had a treatment for his disease.

he was an inspiration.

He was an inspiration, I agree, depression is a silent killer,

he had a kind of dementia.

very serious, untreatable.

I wonder if he ever got to see the secret room at Pixar.

I think he did, he was a really influential celebrity so yeah, maybe Judge Judy did too, she is the highest paid celebrity if you don't take LeBron into the mix

she is a star.

her show has been around for a long time.

Anyway, great chat!

It has been around for a long time, earning $120,000 per episode is insane,

i bet the advertisers are happy to pay.
Have a good day!

I bet that too, she is the second highest paid celebrity for a reason, have a good one.


Are you a wrestling fan?

I used to be a really big one when I was younger.

I watched WWE all the time.

How about you?

I never really got into it.

However, I have heard of Bruno Sammartino.

He had a heart punch or something.

A heart punch?

You mean when he died?

He had some heart problems if I remember correctly.

I thought he had a patented heart punch.

Then again, I really don't know wrestling.

He died at age 82.

A long life!

Yeah, It was a great loss in my opinion.

The again most wrestlers don't live to the age of 82, so I give him all the credit in the world.

He must have been pretty health.
Abe Lincoln was a legit wrestler.

Really?

I never knew that.

Sammartino got started in wrestling by weight training to prevent bullying.

A lot of guys take up martial arts or lifting to ward off attackers.

It's good for your confidence as well.

I agree with that, you never know where you'll end up.

Bruno ended up being a world champion for like 8 years in a row.

Have you ever seen Turkish wrestling?
Covered in oil!

Never have.
That kind of wrestling seems odd to me.
I wonder how popular it is.

Probably big in Turkey, but not many other places.

I am skeptical about Plato's ability to wrestle.

Plato was a wrestler?

I doubt he would stand much of a chance against a guy nick named the living legend.

I guess wrestling was the Greek form of athletics back in the day.

Possibly, it is a combat sport after all.

It involves strength, balance and speed.

I've always seen it as a who is stronger thing, but there is a lot more to it.

Parts of it have been adapted by other martial arts.

Have you ever wrestled?
I never have.
It seems like a challenging sport.

I've wrestled one time when I was a kid.

It never really interested me personally but it did get me into martial arts.

A lot of what I learned were wrestling techniques.

Well, it was good chatting with you!


I am not sure I like restaurants that try to be something they are not.

A Los Vegas  place has little reason to emulate the Amalfi Coast.

I agree.

the food seems enticing though, like Florentine style steak and brazino.

And ricotta cheesecake for dessert

The restaurant, Osteria Costa does not serve anything but dinner.

I find that annoying.

If I stay at this hotel, can I get lunch or do I have to venture out onto the strip?

Haha you are right.

I guess you would have to venture out or order a pizza or something.

The margherita pizza does sound good.

I would like to try it.

Not sure making a pizza requires a executive chef with a fancy name.

True.

The waiters seem overly enthusiastic though.

I do not want my dinner to be interrupted too much

Waiters can be annoying.

Dinner and a show with Mariah Carey to sing would annoy me as well.

Sure, its a 200 seat restaurant.

Lets have some one famous sing to distract everyone.

Ha, but would you not want to have a selfie with giant frosted trees and Christmas ornaments the size of igloos?

Ah, the selfie.

I would like a selfie with lemon ricotta cheesecake from the restaurant.

Yum.

They have pleasing fish and seafood.

I wonder if it's served in an aesthetic manner.

I prefer to observe fish rather than eat them though.

Seahorses are cool, they are the only fish to have a neck.

So, you like to eat fish that dont resemble fish?

I get that.

That is an interesting thing about sea horses having a neck.

Is a seahorse really a fish is a question for someone that loves systematic biology to answer.

I actually do not like to each fish at all.

I just love aquariums.

My mother forced me to eat salmon (first world problems) when I was a child, way too often.

Right, is it a fish or not a fish, that is the question.

I'd love to observe a breed of jellyfish that is immortal.

If that jellyfish could learn, would it care that 84 percent of genes in human diseases have counterparts in  zebrafish.

That is the ultimate fake news.

Ha, I think I will stay away from that zebrafish just in case.

I'll also steer clear of the black swallower fish which can eat ten times its weight and prey twice its own length.

The black swallower fish seems like a problem.

I know that fish only drink through osmosis.

Good for them.

Interesting, though saltwater fish also drink through their mouths.

I wonder if Bill Nye the science guy knows these kinds of fun things about fish?

Is he more entertainment or science?

I love Bill Nye.

Do you think he looks like Steve Martin?

He does in my opinion.

If entertainment is a persons goal, watching Caesar visit Britain in 50 BC would have been entertaining.

Well I guess others think so as well since he got his break by winning a Steve Martin lookalike contest.

What did Caesar do in Britain?

Caesar made the remark that people bred chickens for entertainment, not food.

I think Steve Martin is more entertaining than a chicken.

Haha well I think you are right!


Do you like fish?

Hello there, I do like fish and I like to fish, how about you?

It is interesting how the labeling of fish taxonomically isn't as specific as say mammals or reptiles.

Yes, that is very interesting.

Do you know what the only fish is to have a neck?

A seahorse?

I am still not sure if a seahorse is a fish though

Yes good call!

That is true, that is one interesting fish if it actually is one.

Is jelly fish also fish?
If anything it is at least immortal

Yeah I think they are considered fish, and isn't that incredible!

I think I watched a program on tv once about them.

Well fish are very interesting since human scientists not only use mice for genetic experiments but fish as well.

84% of genes associated with human diseases can be found in zebrafish

That is very interesting as well, I hope that we can come up with new ways of fighting those diseases using zebrafish genes.

I mean it was while doing such research we have the glofish of today

That is true, did you read at all about the black swallower fish?

I saw a picture of one where it ate something so big it's stomach had burst

Yeah that is truly amazing, I guess they can eat prey 2x the lenght and 10x it's weight!

I guess that prey was simply 1% too big and too heavy

Lol, you are probably right, i wonder if us humans could do such things, I wonder what the Nathan's hot dog competition would look like?

Is that the one where people eat as many hot dogs as they can?

Yeah usually they do it on the fourth of july in New York City if im correct.

Wow they must look like the balck swallower fish with their stomachs bulging out.

Strangely enough, I remember than many winners of such championships are really thin since they train themselves for years

Yeah that is some dedication and commitment those people show that do those competitions.

I wonder if that is healthy though.

In any case, thanks for the interesting chat.

I may go look up some more information on binge eating after


What forms of entertainment do you like?

I guess I mostly like to watch TV.

It's always available and doesn't cost much.

It can have humor, or drama and music.

I see, I like to dance myself and also music, I think TV is also a great way to be entertained

It's also fun to see the various celebrities, especially if they are doing a role that's not normal for them.

Like when Carol Burnett was on Sesame Street.

Or Ringo Starr too.

She was the first celebrity ever to appear in Sesame Street right?

a lot of talent,

So I've heard.

I liked her there a lot better than on her own show.

We also have video games to play although I don't do it as much as the kids do.

I do have an old original Nintendo system, 54 colors.

I should dig it out and see if it still works.

That was a great system, I liked it a lot too bad it got discontinued back in the year 2003,

If I get bored with TV, then I can always watch the aquarium.

Very relaxing.

Except I worry about the zebrafish, they have genes that are associated with human diseases.

Keep my fingers away from them.

That sounds like a good idea,  I hear there is an immortal jellyfish out there, that sounds like danger too

The best fish however is the ones we eat.

Like a grilled branzino, striped by the grill marks.

Like the one from the MGM hotel in Vegas.

Very good.

That sounds like a great meal, and also the margherita pizza with mozzarella at Osteria Costa, both seem like great choices

I'm sure that is really good.

I'd like to go back to Vegas and try it.

Only thing is that most restaurants there, the servers are constantly checking on you.

If I tell them once that "It's fine", then they don't need to ask again.

I think thats a good thing, some servers can be a bit annoying, a great chef is Beau Williams, he has a lot of talent

If I went to Osteria Costa, I'd probably want to check out the Vespa they have on display.

My brother has one that he rides to the train station everyday but he won't let me try it out.

Seems like it would be lots of fun.

It does seem that way, fun place to visit indeed, many attractions in the place, I am a food lover so sounds like a place for me

You could do some celebrity watching too.

And Vegas really gets dressed up for Christmas.

Just checking out the decorations, all oversized of course would be fun too.

That sounds like a lot of found, Mariah Carey and ''All I Want for Christmas Is You'' sounds like fun,

You could go to a show too.

Too bad Robin Williams is not around anymore.

He was great in Aladdin even though we never actually saw him,   His voice was plenty distinctive.

I know right, that has a huge loss for the genre, great actor, many celebrities suffer from the same illness he did

I guess they sometimes don't realize how much we fans actually love them.

A lot better entertainment than watching a cock fight like Caesar enjoyed when he was in Britain way back then.

Should have grilled one!

I envy that, I wish I could be at one of those places now, what a great form of entertainment


do you watch wrestling?

I watch it sometimes.
Do you watch it?

Yeah sometimes.

In Turkey they put it all over their bodies and wrestle

Wow that sounds very slippery.
Lincoln was a great wrestler too

Yes and he is in the hall of fame, only lost once in 300 matches

that is pretty cool.
Same with Plato, he was a professional

Yeah that was before he became a famous philosopher

Yeah.
Do you like watching TV?

I love it.
Do you ever watch the Simpsons?

Yes I do.

There is an episode where Bart does not appear

Yeah and he is not even mentioned

Yeah.
Do you watch Pokemon?

I have watched like 10 episodes and not the whole 750 of them

Yeah they have been going at it for 16 years now

Yeah true.
Do you watch That 70s show?

Some episode, I know it flopped in the UK.

Do you like the Superman movie?

Yes I so.

In Sweden you cannot name your child Superman because it is illegal

Yes and same with Metallica, Veranda, Elvis and Ikea

Did you know Superman was originally a villain?

Yes and that was based on the philosophy of Nietzche

Yeah pretty interesting how that evolved


I don't know about you, but I still think it's incredible how much the internet has become integrated into our lives

I know what you mean!

But I have to admit it is great to have all kinds of information just a click away.

At the same time, the action of clicking on links can cause reactions in the brain that lead to addiction

I suppose that's possible.

But I think it's worth the risk :) In fact I just spent an interesting hour researching the Brexit issue.

It's definitely an interesting issue, considering how big of a deal it is to leave the European Union

I just don't think the people who supported it thought it thru.

Now there is a chance their economy could implode if they don't make deals before the exit?

Kinda defeats the purpose...

Not just that, but even their organic farmers that have the EU logo would need to make changes.

It affects smaller businesses in their economy too

More proof that they didn't think!

Honestly, I can understand wanting economic freedom but have a good contingency in place!

Even their secretary of trade has complained.

It even affects the sandwiches given to those in the British Army because of the importation of things with a short shelf-life

Right and getting out of season produce will cost them big.

People are always so gung-ho about changing the status-quo, that they often rush change.

They would have been better served to have deals in place before they announced the departure.

People are even worried about it causing traffic jams that could last for days and backups at the ferry ports.

That's a lot of chaos

I know right!

And I understand a lot of British retirees live on the continent and between pension disruptions and banking law changes they could be left in a bad situation.

People are worried enough that the secretary released several advisories for the businesses and citizens on how to navigate the changes

Wow I hadn't heard that.

What really has me worried though is fear some experts have that cutting Britain off from cross-border databases could make it easier for terrorist suspects to get in and out.

Not only that, but some of Britain's own citizens living in Europe could lose access to their own banking

Yep, it's a bad situation alright.

It just amazes me how integrated British businesses are with the EU.

Leaving will be like cutting off a limb for some of them.

Some of their own politicians have their own doubts about the situation, and many suspect the poorest will be the ones affected the most

The poorest always seem to get the worst in these situations.

Oh well, March is less the a month away, so we will soon see what whether the Brits will descend to anarchy or ride it out.

And it seems that it's too late to reverse the situation at this point

They may have an option to rejoin in the future, but at that point the damage will already be done :/

At least the government is doing something to help people prepare for the possibilities


HI, I love to go to the theater.

I really hope to see Hamilton someday at the Kennedy Center.

Getting tickets to see that show is crazy.

But worth it if you get the chance

Yeah I heard that it turns in to a frenzy and can sort of diminish the overall experience a little bit.

It is still one of the best new Broadways released in a while

Yes, very true according to many people.

I really love comedy too.

Bill mUrray is one of my favorite actors.

I like Drew Carey.

He was a marine for 8 years and told jokes that helped start his career

Wow, I never knew that about him that's cool.

Bill Murray thinks that Kung Fu Hustle is the supreme achievement of all time in terms of comedy in our modern age.

I want to see it after a recommendation like that!

That movie is pretty far out there.

It would help Bill's case if that movie had won for best picture.

A comedy hasn't done it in 37 years

OH man, that is forever!
lol

Did you know that the movie joke of slipping on a banana came from slipping in manure?

I would take the banana any day

Oh really, gross.

I bet that was sort of funny in a gross way.

I really enjoy watching dramas too.

Jim Carrey doesn't make them anymore though because of his belief system, he says.

Maybe he should think of dramas as Greeks do.

It means action

Yea, good idea!

Hugh LAurie is the highest paid actor ever for tv drama.

He earns more than $700,000 per episode for the show House.

Did you know soap operas are named that way because originally soap companies sponsored the shows?

Ha what a trip I never heard of that before.

Cool!

That finally makes sense to me.

Theres an Ikea in Burbank Ca that has a show filmed there.

The actual store doesn't know about it

Oh really, thats wild.

I was just learning in class recently that Pocahontas and Shakespeare were alive at the same time in history and only died one year apart.

That is a wild fact.

He was such a great writer.

maybe the greatest of the english language

Yes, Shakespeare coined many phrases that we use today.

Some things we say are ,"good riddance", "brave new world", "laughing stock".

Some words even take on a different meaning when using era appropriate accents compared to modern day ones

That is a good point, I agree.
I also like the phrase," wild

It was nice talking to you.
Have a good day!


Man...a no-deal Brexit could throw the UK and world economy into chaos

Wow, officials have long suggested that the possibility of  a no prearranged pacts on trade, travel and security with it one-time partners would be unlikely.

Yeah, but here we are anyway.

I bet Theresa May wishes she wasn't PM, or that PM didn't exist...like it doesn't in Austrailia

Well, according to Frances O'Grady's tweet, "these papers confirm that a #NoDealBrexit isn't a credible option.

It would be devastating for working people.

Government must pull out all the stops to get a deal that delivers for the whole UK."

They should take another vote.

Governments job is to determine policy and enforce it in a manner that reflects the will of the people

It is and it is a mechanism that determines policy as well.

Yeah.

Too bad they are all surfing the internet instead.

Hah, no doubt.

Typically, the philosophy chosen is some balance between the principle of individual freedom and the  idea of absolute state authority (tyranny).

Looking back on our history, prevalent forms of government include monarchy, aristocracy, timocracy, oligarchy, democracy, theocracy, and tyranny.

Don't forget catocracy.

The cat in 10 downing st has a government title.

I loved that one.

Do you surf the Internet a lot?

Did you know that the 3 horizontal line menu on apps and websites is called a hamburger button?

Is that hilarious or what?

Glad the app maker wasn't eating a Big Mac.

Did you know that the constant novelty from clicking links on the Internet can cause a real addiction that's measurable in the brain?

Makes sense.

I'm so addicted I'm gonna move to Alexandria...just in case the internet burns down.

Yes, and then you could go to Mt.

Everest because they have 3G cell service and the Internet as well.

Cool.

That means there are indeed hamburgers on Mt Everest.

Good one.

Yes, the current Library of Alexandria has a saved copy of the Internet in case the Internet burns down.

Pretty ironic since the Library of Alexandria burned down during the days of Caeser.

Yeah...maybe they should move to the Amazon rain forest.

The Norwegian government might help.

Yes, that could be their saving grace.

Speaking of government, did you know that the US government owns 86% of Nevada?

Wow.

Did Wikileaks reveal that...or just the Governments plan to destroy Wikileaks.

I think just the plan to destroy Wikileaks, but very funny.

Well, I better leave before they hatch a plan to destroy me.

Nice chatting with you.


Hey there what do you think about the government?

Apparently governments are different all over the world and can often have a constitution

hi how are you?
I dont think about govt often.
it can be depressing.

Well one thing that is not depressing is that the Norwegian government donated 1 billion dollars to the Amazon rainforest so that is at least something nice that they did

It is great that they made such a gesture.

i wish the us govt did those things.

Yes I agree.

But I'm just glad that we didn't have someone like the guy in France who tried to sell the Eiffel Tower twice, I can't imagine if someone tried to sell the Statue of Liberty that would be crazy LOL

I want to meet the people who bought it.

i would love for that guy to sell some of the USs govt land.

Yes you should ask Nevada if you can have some of their land, because apparently the US government owns 86% I'm sure they would be happy to sell some to you haha

Yeah, what are they doing with that land anyway.

are they putting it to good use?

i doubt it.

Yes I don't think so.

Unfortunately.

what do you think about prime ministers?

I think it's funny that in 1995 a radio station prank call Queen Elizabeth LOL and pretended to be the canadian prime minister

Yeah, that would have been Chretien as the PM, they probably used an outrageous accent.

Haha they must have.

Do you ever watch the Harry Potter movies by the way?

Apparently Bellatrix from those movies is actually related to the prime minister of the United Kingdom during World War 1

Bellatrix?
I dont remember her.
who played her?

It was Helena Bonham Carter.

She was also in the movie Fight Club and I think some other movies that I don't remember haha

Oh, yeah, she was great in Fight Club.

She was also in movies with johnny depp too.

Yes I forgot what that movie is called.

I'll have to look it up on the internet haha.

By the way, do you ever use the hamburger button on the internet?

uh, no, i dont think so.
the hamburger button?

Yes it's the button that has three horizontal lines on it, it is nicknamed the hamburger button but the name makes me hungry LOL normally it's used for menus online

Oh, ok. i never heard the name for that.

hamburger?

i would have said sandwich.

Haha well let me ask you this have you ever been to Mount Everest?

Apparently they can even get 3g service at the very top which would be used Snapchat haha

I guess.

Why else would you use internet at the top of Everest?

Anyway, great chat!

Yes thank you for being an excellent chat partner!

And also make sure to read the terms of service online, apparently only about 7% of people do


Hello,  did you know 86% of Nevada is owned by the government?

No but it's not surprising the government owns so much land in Nevada considering most of is desert

Yeah and military property.

Yea,I also think the US gov't stores nuclear waste in Nevada too

ugh really?

Yea, I wonder if wikileaks published anything about that, they have published the governments plans to destroy wikileaks

That is hilarious!

Not as hilarious as the man in France who was able to sell the Eiffel Tower twice lol

He must be a really good con artist,  I cant imagine someone selling the eiffel tower though lol

Yes, if he's able to sell the Eiffel Tower twice maybe he can come to the US and sell 86% of the land in Nevada the gov't owns

Thats a great idea,  hes probably in jail though lol

Yea, too bad they couldn't protect him from prosecution like the US does for government employs who violate the Geneva Conventions

Right.

Do you know much about the Prime Minister?

I know that the UK Prime Minister has a cat with the official title of Chief Mouser to the cabinet office

In japan the prime minister gives you a silver cup when you turn 100

That's pretty cool, it be nice if the US gave gifts to their citizens turning 100 like Japan does

Yeah I know right!
lol

It's pretty funny a radio station was able to prank call Queen Elizabeth by pretending to be the Canadian Prime minister, I wonder if she had a laugh too

lol thats funny.

That must have been awhile ago.

Im sure her security is much more detailed now.

Well I got to go, nice chatting with you

Great chatting with you as well.


Hi!
Are you a fan of comedies?

I am.

That genre has some of my favorite films.

Bill Murray's favorite is King Fu Hustle.

I love Bill Murray!

I've never seen that movie though.

I'll have to watch it.

The Green Lantern film was originally going to be a comedy starring Jack Black.

I think that might have been pretty good.

It would have been a very different movie.

I think Jim Carrey movies would be very different too because he doesn't make dramas anymore.

His belief is only to project positivity.

I kind of think that's pretty neat of him to do that.

Did you ever like watching 3rd Rock from the Sun?

I have seen a few episodes.

It was okay but not my favorite.

Shocking that it beat Seinfeld, Friends and Frasier for best comedy series.

I know.

I'm guessing though that all of those shows probably won the golden globe for best comedy series at some point.

That's a good point or maybe it wasn't their strongest year.

Comedy Central has cancelled over 100 shows since its creation in 1989.

That's a lot of shows without a strong year.

Yes it is.

Crazy.

The creator of the python programming language named it partly to honor the British comedy group Monty Python.

I remember some of the movies they did.

Those are great movies.

British people are very talented.

William Shakespeare's 39 plays have been translated into every living language and are performed more than any other playwright.

He is regarded as the greatest writer in the English language!

I never knew that he invented the names Miranda, Jessica and Olivia!

Wow.

I didn't know that either.

I know he coined many phrases we still use today like "Good riddance" "wild goose chase" and more.

So talented, in more ways than one.

It is wild to think that Pocahontas and Shakespeare were alive at the same time and only died a year apart.

I agree!

Do you have any favorite Dramas that you watch?

I don't watch a lot of drama but I probably should watch House.

Hugh Laurie is the highest paid actor earning 700,000 per episode so it must be good.

I used to like that show.

That's a lot of money for one show!

Holy moly.

I liked Mad Men, which starred Jon Hamm.

I just learned that he would teach drama classes at his old high school and one of his students was Erin from the Office.

Wow!

I didn't know that.

I loved the Office!

There is a website where you can listen to thousand's of episodes of classic radio dramas for free.

I might have to look that up.

I've always wanted to listen to some old shows like that.

That would be a lot of fun to listen to.

Well thanks for chatting, I learned a lot of new and interesting information today.

It's been fun!
Have a good one!


Do you own a computer?

I do !

I own a PC, a laptop, and a laptop for work.

Do you?

I do too.

Are you aware that a space shuttle runs on less than 1mb of ram.

no way, less and 1mb??

A floppy disk had more memory than that!

I know, it's crazy right?
I wouldn't get in one of those.

me neither.

apparently the Russians made a PC that ran on water, i wouldnt think that were even possible

Wow, is that even really possible?
Like to have a computer run on water?

I guess so!

I would think it would get the electronics wet.

especially back then with their less advanced tech

Yeah, pretty crazy.
Better not smoke near a Mac computer!
It voids the warranty.

I wonder why.

i wonder why they consider it a biohazard

Yeah, who knows.

I wonder if it is the same for the iphone?

I dont know, i feel like smoking around a cell phone is incredibly common

Yeah, so I wonder what the difference is then.

did you know the menu button used uin most apps today is called the "Hamburger button?"

i guess it does kind of look like a burger!

No, I didn't know that, apparently only 7% of people read the ToS of internet services?

I know I never do, its too long

yeah, and written in lawyer language.

have you ever read it?

On a few services I have.

But this is usually when I'm directly paying for an app.

eh, its mumbo jumbo no one cares about.

maybe id read it once for Google because apparently they account for 40% of all web traffic

Yeah, and their maps calculates traffic by how fast android devices are moving.

Weird.


Hi, how are you?

Hello, im good, what do you think about the 19 year old who devoped that 430000 code

I think he has a lucarative career ahead of him!

I wish I got that money!

Me too, it sure is a lot of money and at 19!

to think it all started because he bored.

I know.

And when I get bored, I eat.

What a waste!

Can you imagine what you would have done with that money at 19?!?!?!

Probably spend it on something stupid lol, that kid must be really smart though, he trained a computer to rap, that must require mad skills

i know.

Most kids that age use it for inappropriate viewing.

And they thought it would go for $10,000....

Yeah, but it seems like the kid is mature as he is working for the Standford University Lab, many wouldnt do that and just take sabatical

That's true.

Those are usually the really good kids that, when given that kind of money, put it in a slow growth mutual fund.

Its amazing what can be done with computers now a days, how they can follow sets of operations, programs.

I am not sure.

I would be worried if i were an astronaut though.

The space shuttle's computer runs on 1 mb of ram.

Doesn't seem like a lot!

My phone has like 2000 times more ram than that lol!

that is really surpising.

Right?

I mean wouldn't you be worried?

I feel like nothing else, at least get .

me a game or tow so I don't get too bored...

Yeah I can see your point you knw that a computer at Stanford had a housing made with lego bricks

Wow!
What if someone took a brick.
WOuld it ruin the computer?

I think it wouldnt as its only a component of the housing, it would make it more vulnerable for sure

Whew!

My son is into legos and nothing is worse than stepping on one barefoot!

It hurts a lot I know the feeling lol!

you know that in Finland everyone has the right to an internet conection, it seems like its a basic service now

Really!
I feel like Starbucks is our finland.
They always have free internet.
Plus good drinks.

I think everyone should have the right for a free cup of coffee lol, I love starbucks!

Ha!
So good.... Nice chatting with you!


Hey there!

Read anything interesting lately, I sure did!

I read about a 19 year that developed a code for an AI to design portraits!

Crazy to think someone so young could do that.

That is crazy!
Do you know how the 19 year old did it?

I'm not sure how exactly he did it, I guess if I did I'd make one as well!

But I know he was only 17 and bored when he did it, he started off by feeding it rap lyrics so it could generate random rap songs.

And than he fed it random portraits from the internet to teach it how to make art!

That is really impressive!

So, did he get a job or a college invite for his talent/success?

He sure did!

He's now working at the Stanford University AI Lab.

He didn't seem to think anyone would pay much attention to his portraits, so much as sell something based on his work!

I'm glad to hear that!
So, how did the program work?
What does the artwork look like?

The man in the portrait has no noise, people even say it can look like frosty the snowman!

Mario Klingemann says it can't believe how much the portrait sold for, he thought it was terribly done even for an AI.

And he would know being an AI Artist!

I guess people bought it because of how it is done.

How much did it sell for anyway?

A French Art collective known as Obvious downloaded the code, and their AI portrait sold for 432,500!

The auction house didn't seem to think it would go for so high!

That is amazing!

Is it possible to tell if a human painted it or a computer?

It depends on the program!

Programs usually are put through rigorous trials, to make sure the art is convincing and that it looks like it was human-made.

It's only a matter of time before it becomes so good and well-trained no one can really tell.

I wonder what that will do to the art industry not to mention museums.

I mean if a computer can fake the mona lisa so well that no one can tell then what happens?

You know, computer innovations are moving so fast.

The russians made one that runs on water if you can believe that.

That's crazy, it's almost scary to think about the future and what it will hold for us as humans.

Not everyone feels that way though, some people call themselves "Transhumanists" and they want to upload their minds into computers one day!

I've heard about them!

They remind me of an episode of Star Trek The Next Generation where a man did that.

I wonder if they want to live forever.

Probably, I can't blame them for wanting their minds in a computer.

Nothing on a computer is gone forever it seems!

There is a library called Alexandria that has saved an entire copy of the internet!

In a way that can be a good thing.

Important information will never be lost.

It can even be uploaded from the tallest mountain peak in the world- mt everest.

There's internet on that peak.

That's amazing, but let's not forget who the King of the Internet is.

Google went down for just five minutes one day, and 40% of web traffic vanished with it!

Hahaha!

Google is definitely the king of the internet!

Did you know that doing a single google search uses more computing power than sending neil armstrong to the moon?

Google is nuts!

I heard they once a hundred live goats instead of people to mow the lawns of their headquarters!

I heard that too.

I guess they were trying to help the planet.

I was a little disappointed to learn though that they calculate traffic by seeing how fast android phones are moving on a road.

I thought there was a satellite in space giving them information.

It was probably mentioned somewhere in their novel of terms and service!

Did you know only 7% of people read those?

I'm surprised it's even that high!

I am too.

I have to admit that I very very rarely ever read them and if I do, it's not in the whole thing.

You know with Google being so dominant in our lives it's hard to believe two college students started it.


How do you feel about Google?

I love Google so much.

A single Google search requires more computing power than it took to send Neil Armstrong to the moon.

No wonder it's works so well.

That is crazy lol.
Times have changed for sure!

Yes they have.So many people use Google that it once went down for five minutes and took 40% of web traffic with it.

wow, that is insane numbers!
What would we do without google?

That's a good question.When there is a disputed border, Google maps tailors its maps to the claims of each country where the Internet browsers located.

wow, it does so much!

The internet is crazy now, what would you do if the internet went down

People wouldn't know what to do.

Luckily there is a saved copy at the current library of Alexandria.

That is a good back up.

I wonder if they have a back up to the back up lol.

Did you know you can get internet at the peak of mt everest

Yes and there's 3G cell service there as well.

I guess there are people who got to make calls up there.

Wow, that is awesome.

I am sure it is for the instagram people that want to show off lol

No doubt!

The three horizontal line menu on apps and websites is called hamburger button.

That makes sense, it looks like one lol.

Do you ever read the terms of service ever on the internet?

Unfortunately not.

I am like 93% of people and I do not read the full terms when buying a product or service!

Me too, lol.

I think I have sold my soul to the devil multiple times and have never known it

Ha ha that is funny me too.

If you own an Apple computer make sure you don't smoke near it because it voids the warranty by making it a biohazard.

Wow, that is a good thing.

They should do it more.

I wonder if russia has that too for their water powered computer they created in 1936 lol

Good question, I want to buy that even made that.

Some people want to upload their minds to computers and memory sticks.

Sounds scary to me.

Very scary and sounds like the beginning to a drama or horror movie lol.

It was so nice chatting with you!

Yes it does indeed.

Someone even built a working 16-bit computer using nothing but the basic mine craft building blocks.

Great talking with you too partner!

That is awesome, I need to see that computer.

Have a great day!


Good morning, do you like cars?

I like cars!
They are my how I get around.
lol

That's how I get around too!

I wish I had a flame thrower equipped to my car.

Did you know that it's actually legal in South Africa?

I didn't know that.

Sounds scary.

The first patent for a car was issued in 1886 to Karl Benz!

It's to prevent car jackings, but it'd be great to melt snow and ice off the road.

I like that Karl Benz car was called Benz Patent-Motorwagen.

That's a good idea!

I need one for where I live.

I see the first car available to the masses was the Ford Model T and it came out in 1908.

Yeah the model T rapidly replaced animal-drawn carriages and carts here, but took much longer to be accepted in Western Europe and other parts of the world.

I think that would have been interesting to be alive during that era when both horses and cars shared the road at the same time.

It would be like living in Amish Country pretty much.

Haha.

Did you know that McDonald's didn't have drive thrus until 1975?

haha True!

I didn't know that.

Wonder why they didn't have them before then?

I'm not sure.

They were invented to accommodate soldiers who were not allowed to get out of their cars while wearing fatigues.

It's good to see that they support the veterans!

I agree!

I had no idea.

There must have been a lot of soldiers going to McDonalds?

lol

I guess so.

Did you know that your trunk is called trunk because old cars used to have wooden trunks on the back?

I didn't know that.

How interesting.

Do you know who the car brand Cadillac was named after?

Wasn't it named after the founder of Detroit?

Yes!
Antoine de la mothe Cadillac!

It's pretty funny that an "All-American" brand is named after a French Explorer.

It goes to show how global we really are.

Good point!

lol  Jann Mardenborough became a professional race car driver after beating 90,000 people in Gran Turismo.

Interesting!

That's crazy.

I can barely beat the computer, so I don't think I'll be a race car driver any time soon.

lol me too!

Did you know that Spotify has 4 million songs that haven't been played once?

lol crazy.

It's been fun chatting with you!

That is crazy, I wonder if there's a station just for those songs?

I hope you have a great day!


Cadillac was named after a french explorer, I never knew that

I didn't either.

It makes sense, though, that he went through Detroit since the French also settled parts of Canada.

I'm surprised Canada doesn't make cars too like Detriot does

I think many American made cars are made in Canada.

I had an American car dealer brand that was made in Canada.

Neat, In South Africa they make flame thrower parts to put on cars

Yes, I see that is to prevent car-jacking.

I wonder if it actually works.

It sounds very James Bond to me.

It would be funny trying to go through a Mcdonald's drive thru with a flamethrowing car.

Yes, it brings a whole new meaning to the concept of flame grilled.

Oh, wait.

I think that's Burger King!

LOL!

Nice.

After I go through a drive thru I like to listen to Spotify, there's still 4 million songs that no one has played on there yet

That's a lot of songs.

On top of that, a musician has to get 130,745 plays per day in order to make minimum wage.

That's a lot, too.

Yea it is, some band was able to earn $20,000, I wonder how many plays they must have had.

Definitely over 130,745.

I wonder how long it took them to make that $20,000.

Must not have taken that long because they were able to fund a free tour with the money

I wonder how much the tour would have cost otherwise.

Well it did say it was a silent album so it's not like they need instruments or other equipment for a tour if it's silent

I know.

I wonder if the concert tour was silent, too?

Maybe it was a fantasy concert

That could be.
Or maybe it was a meditation concert.
A lot of people meditating in unity.

Meditating sounds good right now, I'm so tired

I practiced mindfulness for a few weeks in the morning.

I found it actually boosted my energy during the day.

Cool.

I'm gonna try that now, nice talking with you.


do you watch netflix?

Yes I do.

Did you know it uses more than one third of the bandwidth in the morning?

Yeah that is crazy.

And with youtube they make half of peak internet

And they still spend more on postage than bandwidth

Yeah it is exactly 20 times more, strange

Yeah.
Did you ever use Blockbuster?

Yes before netflix.

THey had a chance to buy it and passed on it

Yeah for $50 million they could have made billions now

True.
Do you know how it all got started?

Yes the guy who started it got a late fee on a VHS once

Yeah and that made him a billionaire, so that is good

Did you ever play with Nintendo?

Yes until it was discontinued in 2003 in Japan.

Yeah and it only had 54 colors

Yeah and yet it was so much fun to play

True.
DO you know who Bill Nye is?

Yes the science guy.

DO you know how he got into entertainment?

Yes he won a Steve Martin lookalike contest

Yeah.

Even Reagan tried his hand at acting once and it did not go well.

Yeah he apparently did not look like a president enough

Yeah , he had the look to become a real one though


Hey there what do you think of our current system of government?

I was shocked to learn that Nevada is mostly owned by the US government

Yeah all 86% of the land, I wonder what they do with it really

I know right.

Although I do know that Nevada is mostly desert, but still.

Did you hear about the Man Who Sold the Eiffel Tower twice?

That was risky.

Haha I wonder how he got away with it twice.

Do you know what wikileaks is?

I have heard of WikiLeaks.

Didn't they publish plans that the government was trying to destroy them?

That's so insane

yeah, they must have an inside man.

Did you hear about the Norwegian government's plan to save the rainforest?

No I didn't what did they do?

I did hear that the u.s.

Passed a law that would protect government employees from being persecuted if they violated the Geneva Convention though, that seems really weird

Yeah tha is weird and the Norwegians donated $1 billion, that is a whole lot of money.

I know right!
How often do you travel by the way?
Have you ever been to Norway?

I have not actually but would like to visit at some point.

In Iceland as well but would have to get a car

Well apparently Iceland doesn't have public service rails, and so you just fly between cities, so maybe you don't need a car LOL

Yeah if that makes it cheaper sure.

Or maybe they will get one of those Dutch buses that go 160 mph

Haha I would definitely ride that.

What I wouldn't ride is a highway system in Japan.

All of them are private and all have tolls

Yeah and it would cost you $300 to travel the country

Yep exactly.

That sounds really annoying.

Have you ever been to Mackinac Island in Michigan?

I have never but would like to go how that works without any motorized vehicles, must be so peaceful there

Oh I agree with you.

But it also smells like horses everywhere haha.

I have been there and there are no Cars, just horses.

Yeah I guess that might be the downside.

DO you know who was the first king to travel the world?

Wasn't at the king of Hawaii?
I wonder what made him do it.
What do you think?

Yup that was him.
I am not sure though why he did it.
Did you know that Venus does not tilt?

Wow I didn't know that.
I miss Pluto is a planet by the way!
Also apparently Venus rotates clockwise


do you like drama?

I sure do.
Do you like Jon Hamm?

Yesh he is funny.
Did you ever watch House MD?

I did some episodes.

Jon taught high school drama and one of his students was Ellie Kemper

Cool.

Laurie made $700 000 per episode in House MD

Wow that is a lot of money but it was a well received show

Yeah that is true.
Do you like Jim Carrey?

I sure do, he is the funniest guy ever, love his movies

Yes and he does not do dramas anymore because they do not project positivity

He is right on that.

Patrick Stewart also taught master classes in drama in the UK

Pretty cool.
Do you listen to radio dramas?

I listen to them sometimes, but not as often, do you?

I do, there is a free website where you can listen to them

Nice.
DO you shop online at all?

Yes and I love to shop on Amazon and you?

Me too.

Did you know they have created a font called bookerly?

Cool, it is for a special reason?
Jeff even built a clock on a mountain

Yes it is to be used for kindle and similar devices?

A clock?

Yes and it is supposed to run for 10 000 years

Hmm interesting, good for him I guess.

Did you know they have the patent to 1-click buying?

Did not know it was them that had it, pretty cool.
