No, it is basically a soap opera. it visits some familiar places, so if you know film you will recognize the story.


Did you think it was more Hollywood than a real depiction of Asia?


it was high asian culture. the grand themes of asia, but not true to real culture. more like the highlights of the stereotypes.


I see.  I'm not sure that's for me.  I guess one needs to mindset of just enjoying to movie and to put reality on hold for a while.


Yes, it is an escapist film. cinderella story. lots of fun. anyway, great chat!


It sounds that way.  That is, I agree.  Thanks for the excellent chat!


Yes, I love rock music. Have you seen the movie "Destroy All Monsters"? It's about rock stars.


I have heard of it.  Havent watched it yet.


From what I've heard, it's about rock musicians getting shot while they're performing on stage and it was happening all across the country.


that is interesting.  Did you know the band Whitesnake has a total of 50 members throughout its history?


I didn't realize there were that many, that's a lot. Wonder how they keep the songs sounding the same. I was reading something about geology, do you know how old the planet Earth is?


Well,  I think they just have replaced so many members,  they never had 50 members at one time.


Right. It just seems it would be tough to make the song sound the same as the original guy who has left the band. Oh by the way, Earth formed 4.5 billion years ago. Can you imagine?


Yeah i can imagine that,  I think it looks pretty young for its age lol


I wonder if it will survive us humans. We've already destroyed 80% of Earth's forests.


WHen earth was formed,  it was only 5.5 hours long in a day.  Must have been really small.


Yeah, it had to be spinning pretty fast for that. Maybe that's what happened to the dinosaurs, they got flung off into the atmosphere. Did you know that UN has an alien ambassador?


Well, it happened back in 2010, the UN decided they needed to be ready for extraterrestials to make contact with us Earth people. I wonder if there's something there to read between the lines, though, like there was already a contact.


the UN had an ailen ambassador so they would be ready for extraterrestials?  But where did they get the ailen ambassador?  i am confused.


Oh, I see where you're at. No. It's a human person who has a job at the UN to be the go-to guy if aliens contact us. He's the guy that's going to talk with them and make sure they don't kill us all, I suppose.


Did you know if earth's entire history was represented by a 24-hour day, that the period of time us humans have been around is only a minute and 17 seconds of that day?


Yeah, it makes us seem pretty small. The other thing that's going on is all the helium in the atmosphere is expected to be gone by the end of this century. That's scary.


A little bit, I dont particularly align myself with them though.  I know the colors red and blue to represent parties didnt happen until 2000


Well it does seem like a lot longer thant that, did you hear about the funny anecdote involving Turman and Dumbo?


I know that is a bit crazy, it would be like a republican not being photographed with Eeyore.


I know right, poor little Dumbo didnt know why he was getting rejected lol


Yeah.  Did you know that in Nevada there is a neither of these candidate options on the ballot.


I didnt, I think its a great choice, another interesting fact about politics is that every president with a beard has been a republican


I wonder why, not many have had facial hair at all.  I can remember Lincoln, hes the most iconic.


Yeah I cant recall many either, there hasnt been a president who want either a democrat or republican since 1853


That is sad, it is bad that we really wind up with two people to chose from.


I agree usually two candidates, Im not a fan of Trump or Hillary, I wish there was another candidate hopefully in the future that can change


Same here.  Since 1900 the taller candidate has won 75% of the time.  So hopefully that could bring someone good luck!


I agree, hopefully a stronger candidate can become the leader of our country, so do you follow the company Google?


I do, I even read a book about their development, along with amazon, and facebook.


Any interesting facts in that book, I didnt know it was created by two PHD  students


There were tons, none that I specifically recall now, but Google maps calculates traffic by how fast devices are moving on the road.


That  seems kind of invasive, I wouldnt like an app tracking my location like that, not that I have something to hide but it seems like a privacy breach


I wonder if that is only if you are using google maps to go somewhere.  I mean its probably listed in that Terms of Service that none of us read.


It must be but I agree few people read those terms, I know I didnt, its amazing how much influence a company like Google has.


It does and it requires a lot of power.  It is said that a single google search can use more computing power than it did to sent astronauts to the moon.  Crazy


That is crazy and suprising, I guess tech has advanced a lot since then.


Yes, I love it.  I tell you I did not know one of my favorite bands from my youth, Whitesnake, has had over 50 members throughout its history.Totally amazing.


That's a lot of members. Are they your all time favorite group?


No, I think that honor goes to Metallica.  They're my favorite all time Rock band. It's funny to think that Sonic the hedgehog was originally supposed to be a member of a Rock band. Lol


Sorry, premature send... The "'" button is too close to enter this morning... no coffee... That's odd that he was supposed to be in a rock band... Did you know Flaming Lips has the state song for Oklahoma? I wonder if they are from there. Interesting choice....


Cool, didn't know that tidbit, maybe they are from Oklahoma.  I thought you had a beef with my man, Sonic..Lol


Never! I loved that game growing up. I also like his slushie drinks... HA!


Me too!  Did you know Sonic was supposed to have a blond haired human girlfriend named Madonna?


No, I didn't. Hanson was the most requested song on a Chicago alt station becuase they did not reveal the band name. Im from chicago and listen to that station... never heard of that.


Loved Hanson growing up, very talented brothers, they are.  Do you watch horror movies?


I do not... I get too scared for my taste. Do you?


Yes, I watch them to burn calories.  You know watching one burns 180 calories. Too funny.


Dang! I might have to start watching them as part of my workout routine... I'll watch a dozen a day and get my summer body!


That's what I said, easy workout. I have always liked ,The Shining, with Jack Nickelson, and that little boy that played Danny didn't have a clue he was acting in a horror film until many years after.


Seems a little unethical but at least he wont be scarred by knowing about it.


I know that is one creepy movie.  Did you know Stephen King was terrified as a child after seeing," Bambi"?


How are you, do you listen to rock music? Did you know the biggest rock star in russian history Viktor Tsoi kept his job in the boiler room of his apartment after hitting it big?


Yep, and US states have state rock songs too! Oklahoma's state rock song is "Do you Realize?" by the flaming lips


That was interesting.  A Hanson song became the most requested track on Chicago rock radio because DJS did not reveal the band.


Wow, I wonder how embarrassed the listeners felt when the Chicago dj revealed it was Hanson


I can imagine.  I watch horror movies because I want to lose weight and, apparently, you could burn up more than 180 calories.


Nice, I like horror movies too, mostly the ones that have macabre and supernatural themes


Those are more fun and less bloody, I think.  Apparently, Stephen King was terrified to see Bambi, the movie, when he was a child.


I guess seeing what happened to bambi's mom terrified King a lot!


That was it - thank you for telling me.  It had nothing to do with Bambi itself.


DId you know watching a horror movie may make you enjoy viewing abstract art more?


No, I did not.  Thanks for the info.  Danny, the boy from the Shining, did not know he was acting in a horror film until much later.


How couldn't Danny's actor figure out he was in a horror movie when an elevator released blood into the hallway lol


Maybe they used some kind of technology.  He might not see that scene. I watched that movie once - it was scary.


Yea, the metallic noises made by waterphone instruments really set an eerie mood


I wondered who started that technology.  The waterphone instruments are effective in making scary noises.


Speaking of horror, did you know more than 80% of earth's natural forests have been destroyed?


Yes, I heard about it.  It's like a non fiction horror scene.


It's a shame, by the end of the 21st century earth will be helium-free too


That's scary.  Apparently, when earth was first formed, a day was only 5.5 hours.  Does it mean the earth was dark for 18.5 hours?


I don't know, maybe the 5.5 hour days was caused by a faster spin by earth


I will research further.  Talking about the natural forests, we need to take care the 20% that is left. I've got to run.  It was nice chatting with you.


Yes, all the time..Recently one of his founders Larry Page by Sundar Pichai


Google uses goats for mowing the grass instead of hiring people.


That is pretty wise, I like they think outside the box. Do you know how much computer power takes to do a google search?


I know its alot! They say its more power than it took Neil Armstrong to the moon!


Google did go down for 5 minutes on 2013


Yes it did and took 40% of the web traffic with it.


The IPO of Google was in 2004 and it became a company in 1978


That's interesting! Did you know every president with a beard was a republican.


That is funny! Did you know in Nevada there is an option to select None of these candidates when voting for president


Really, None of them? I thought it was before the year 2000 when they started using red and blue for the election.


I thought so too. It is kind of new. Did you know harry Truman did not want to go in the Dumbo ride when visiting Disneyland?  You know why?


Yes, he didn't want to be associated with the republicans. I didn't know Disney is related to the republicans?


I did not know that either, how is that?


At that time maybe it was. I didn't think it's that way today? not really sure.


It is because the Elephants, that is why he did not go in that ride. Did you know since 1853 there has not been presidents that are from a party different than republican or democrat


Well I believe that. That makes sense, of course. Its interesting since the 1900's 75% of the time the taller candidate has won.


Interesting.  I found funny the method of election they had in ancient Greece, it was by lottery


Yes, they believed it would lead to oligarchy. Good chat!!


Yes it has been cool.  I am happy to learn always about interesting facts, like the ones we talk about, google and history . Have a good one


I don't watch TV much. I like listening to music better than watching TV.


Speaking of music, are you a fan of Elvis?


Elvis is one of my favorite musicians. My favorite song he did was "American Trilogy."


Nice. Apparently music was the only class he failed in school.


That's ironic. Elvis is one of my favorite singers, but I also like Michael Jackson.


He was a legend in deed. He was a huge simpsons fan and even wrote the song "do the bartman"


I did not know that!  My favorite Jackson song is Thriller. I really enjoyed the video for that song.


Yeah, he was involved in a lot of stuff, even the soundtrack for sonic 3


That duet he was supposed to do with Freddie Mercury which was canceled would have been epic, I wish that could have happened :(


Yeah, I guess Jackson's llama being in the studio took precedent.


Freddie Mercury seemed to like Elvis better than Jackson. He wrote a song "Crazy Little Thing Called Love" as a tribute to Elvis.


Everyone loved Elvis. His daughter was even married to Micheal jackson.


And so they come full circle. The two greatest American singers have a family connection!


Pretty much. Have you seen Forrest Gump?


It is great, I loved it and there is someone impersonating the voice of Elvis in it. It was Kurt Russell of all people.


What genre is the movie? Would you call it a drama?


Well, some of them can be dramas. But then you have drama TV shows as well.


Like, Bohemian Rapsody is a drama movie, since we were speaking of Freddie Mercury.


i have to be honest with you; i really don't. how about you?


Oh, I must admit I love it! I write it as well.


wow! would you mind telling me about the poetry you write? i'm impressed.


I have always loved words and lyrics to songs and just decided to start researching articles and wrote my first poem about 20 years ago. I am not published or anything I write for people I am close to though :)


have you ever considered trying to have any of your poems published?


People have told me I should but I have never tried. Maybe I will. I wrote a poem for a dear friend at work who's son died and the weekly news letter published it I thought that was very nice.


i think it's great that you did that and i'm sure your friend will always remember that.  the folks who become famous poets are surely gifted.  did you know that Poe only got $9 for the publication of his classic poem "the raven?" amazing.


Thank you, I like to show people how much I care in different ways and poetry is very personal. That is crazy! I love that poem. Did you know there is a poem if read normally it is depressing yet reading it backwards is inspiring!


fascinating.  i wonder if the poet who wrote that meant it to be that way, or if it just turned out that way.


That would be extremely difficult to do! I may have to research that lol i want to read it now lol


i was thinking the same thing.  jumping to something else, do you find studying the various planets interesting?


Oh my, I love the universe! The sky, the planets and my favorite is the moon!


i have always found the universe such a fascinating.  Did you realize that a mars colonization project planned for 2023 is under way? can this really happen? sounds like something from "x files"


Haha! Right! I hope they do that would be fascinating! Mars also has a higher pitch in the sounds there because of the different atmosphere, very cool!


i wonder if this project is some type of publicity stunt.  it is set to be funded by creating a reality tv show.  as far as the "higher pitch," i find all that type of information interesting because it's so important to realize that life on earth is just part of the whole scheme of things.


You have some very good points! They could use a sci fi set and make us think it is on Mars lol but yes! I am a firm believer that we are not the only planet in this vast universe to have life living on it.


i hadn't thought of that...a sci fi set and make us think it's Mars! reminds me of people who think that we didn't really go to the moon.  i know someone who thinks we didn't go because the flag wasn't blowing.  then someone else told me that due to the atmosphere there it couldn't move.


I believe we went to the moon but with how much technology there is now and special affects it is possible they just want to make money on this show.... It is good to question things though, I do all the time lol


is it true that it has been pretty well shown that there is some type of Mars? wasn't water seen? if there is water, doesn't that mean there is some type of life?


They did in fact just report and published pictures from Mars and it does show water...but the temps are wildly cold because there is no sun and they have a recording on youtube of the sounds that Mars was giving off as it was recorded by the satellite very creepy!!!


i guess that's why elton john sang "mars...it's cold as hell..." in his classic "rocket man."  would you go to another planet if you had the chance to? like the Moon?


Hahaha, great song! I would love to go to the moon!


am i wrong or did i not read at one point that they were looking for volunteers to go to the Moon? or some other planet? it's vague to me.  yes there probably more life on other planets than we know.  it just seems to make sense.


I did hear the same thing, not sure which planet though. I truly believe one day we will have proof of other life ....if we don't already and don't know about it.


what a great point! yes there may be proof which we do not know about.  do you believe some type of "beings" from outer space were on the scene in roswell, new mexico as has long been rumored? or a clever diversion by the army? or pure nonsense?


I think they have probably found some type of life other than on earth, I guess I believe so much that there has to be life out there so yes I believe the government knows and hides facts. I think Area 51 is one of the places that have some facts....


i agree. it seems far fetched to think that ALL that we have heard is fiction.  i guess the government hides facts because they think we'll be freaked out if we know some things that are, in fact true.


and then we get to the question of whether the government should hide things from us.  even if those things are scary, do we have the right to know? it's one of those debateable issues.


I truly believe we should know, but maybe it would cause total chaos I don't know.....but I would love to find out one day. It is only common sense to me that there is more than us lil humans in this Universe that we have no idea how large it really is.


couldn't agree more.  and the way many people are, i think it probably would cause a lot of chaos.  i mean look at all the fear about possible problems that happened about the year 2000 that didn't happen.  a lot of fear over nothing.


True! So true. I think after seeing all the chaos over thinking the world was ending ...how many times, and how people were getting safety homes dug in their back yards, I think that's why they keep it hush hush. I really want to know! lol


i think all through history there have been times when various groups of people truly believed that "signs" indicated the world was about to end when in fact, if and when it does, there won't be any preventing it.  if it happens, it will happen and not much we can do to stop it.


My thoughts exactly! We cannot predict that. I don't want to know ahead of time anyway lol...live in the moment!


i ABSOLUTELY don't want to know.  there wouldn't be any good in knowing.  some say it would give us a chance to get things "in order," but if we live  in the moment as you say, that's all we can do.


Yes! If I could know my exact date of death as I was asked that once if I could know, would I want to know....ummm noooo! lol


i've thought about that too.  i don't know when or how i will die.  that would be awful.  not to get gloomy here, but i think if the world ends it won't be because of "natural" events, i think we humans will end it...but there will be some type of life left and we'll start all over again.


I think the same way, and hopefully there will be the ability to start over, look how long earth has been here, crazy to think about but Man is definitely going to be it's undoing.


do you think the dinosaurs met their demise because of some huge asteroid or meteor as some believe?


I think that is a huge possibility yes. Think about how much the atmosphere has changed over the years and everything evolves, I think that is very probable or they all died off....it's so interesting to think about!


it's fascinating to me.  these are the things i have to focus on when i run into the everyday nonsense than life so often presents.  the fact that we are just a small part of something huge and that we need to enjoy and appreciate the people, and the time we have been given.


So very true, life is only a moment really and another thing is we don't know what happens after we pass on....I think our souls do in fact live on somehow but nobody can say for sure. I think our time here is too too short.


oh i can talk about this all night (and it looks like we may have to do so; i thought these talks end at a certain point).  any way i also believe there is something after this life.  i don't see how life on earth can be all there is.


Lol, I love conversations that get deep like this so thank you so much! I truly believe there is something after death, my whole family has died and I have feelings and smell certain perfume or cologne, have heard whispers....I think we live on somehow! That's a whole other conversation! Yes our time is up so I am going to end this now, thank you so much!!!


I do like some rap, especially Drake. Do you listen to him?


Yeah I do, he is a Canadian rapper, songwriter and record producer, he is an entrepreneur as well.


I remember him in Degrassi the most. It was one of my favorite shows growing up. Did you ever watch it?


of course, Drake graduated high school on October 2012, he was 25 years old


Well, better late than never! Hotline bling was sampled from 1972 hit why we can't live together.


interesting. Drake spent a lot of money on first editions of classic children's books like Charlotte's web and Winnie the Pooh during a tour in the UK.


He seems like a pretty good guy, especially after that music video where he spent the who budget on other people.


Yep he is a good guy and good rapper, Did you know that a Michigan judge delivered her ruling in the form of rap during a case against rapper eminem


That's kind of funny. What kind of other rap do you like?


rap that has a good content and meaningful and you


I like the new emo rap genre that's emerging. It's got a pretty interesting concept.


interesting. Korean rappers invented a new style of rap, it's called Compliment battle


That's pretty interesting. Busta rhymes voiced the reptar wagon in the rugrats movie.


cool, Did you know that Eminem dreamed of becoming a comic book artist


That would have been a different route, he could probably still pursue it if he wanted.


yeah he is talented. Tupac was a talented rapper, his music is in the library of Congress of Cultural Significance


He was a pretty significant rapper. Did you know pilgrims only wore black on special occasions?


really that's cool, Also Apple had a clothing line in 1986.


I bet it was really minimalist and expensive!


How you been? do you listen to rap. I listen from time to time and find it fascinating James Brown had a great influence on early rap


Hello, how are you?  yes I do,  not all the time though. That is interesting.  what a great influence! Did you know The rapper drake graduated high school on october 2012 at the age of 25.  Thats a long time to be in high school.


No I figured he graduated much younger. I like to listen to tupac, his music is in the library of congress


Thats cool! During a uk tour in 2011, drake spent an "obscene amount of money'' on first editions of children's classic books 'charlotte's web' and 'winnie the pooh'.


Interesting, I didn't know he was into children's books. Eminem was into comics


After hearing eminem's verse on drake's song forever, kanye west took two days and cancelled appointments to rewrite his.


Lol, that's hilarious. I wondered if Drake did a song with Busta Rhymes, he would probably think it was cool he did a voice in the rugrats movie


That is very cool! The rapper drake visited drake university in the middle of the night after students gave up trying to get him to visit during a tour stop.


Lol, that's cool of him. I wonder if they talked about his time on Degrassi


maybe,  have you ever watched that show?


No, I don't get it on any of the tv channels but I hear degrassi is really popular in Canada, at least before Drake left before 2007


I wonder if  Drake is popular in Korea, they have a type of freestyle called compliment battle


Korea has some weird rules lol they dont allow songs that are negative and for a long time most of their songs honor their country so its no surprise that they have that type of style lol


Yea Korea is a weird place lol. Rip curl makes clothes in North Korea


Pilgrim clothing was full of color. they only wore black for special occasions.


I never knew that. I also never knew apple had a clothing line in 1986


I'll have to google it. I never knew people check collar gaps on your clothes to tell if they are tailored


Never knew that either,  I wonder why that matters. There is a store in alabama that only sells clothes, cameras, etc found in unclaimed baggage at airports


I wonder how much profit they make from selling unclaimed clothes


How's it going do you like rap? It's precursor came from West African Griot tradition


I do like the genre, not my favorite bit it has a nice beat, I'm guessing you do


I like the older rappers like Tupac Shakur, It's cool that his music is in the library of congress


Tupac is the best, he changed American culture thats a sure thing its a great thing his music is in there.


Yea, I like the old eminem music too, funny he wanted to become a comic book artist as a kid


That is funny, good thing he decided to become a rap artists his songs are pretty good,. there is a deaf rapper.


I never knew there was a deaf rapper,, I have heard of Korean rappers engaging in compliment battles


Yeah his name is Singmark, he rhymes with sign language and really?compliment battles? that sure sounds weird


Yea it does sound strange, so does a Michigan judge delivering a ruling in a rap


That sounds really unprofessional do you know who Jason Paige is?


No, was she the judge in the suit filed against Eminem?


No Jason Paige is a singer, he is the rapper of the Black and White Pokemon song.


Oh I had no clue. Did you know Busta Rhymes did a voice for the Rugrats film?


I didnt, I used to love the Rugrats great show as a kid, the world's faster rapper is called NoClue


I never knew that, maybe I'll youtube him, sounds like it will be better than Drake's "hotline Bling" song that sampled "Why we can't live together"


So you like Drake? he used to have a pair of solid gold Air Jordans, he must be a real fan of the game and of MJ to have those shoes, they are really heavy too


Not really, it's sad he didn't graduate high school until he turned 25


I guess the phrase it's never too late really applies to him, good thing he made it though.


Yea, it's kinda odd he spent a bunch of money on classic children's books though


That is odd, maybe he didnt have a good childhood and was trying to make out of it. Did you know he found fame as an actor as first.


Hey there I do like video games. I especially like fortnite, have you ever played that game?


I have't played that one.  I'm an old school gamer. lol  Did you know video games were initially called cathode ray tube amusement devices which were used by the military?


No I didn't but that doesn't sound very fun haha. Did you ever play the video game GoldenEye 64? I played that a lot back in the day, apparently eight out of the nine developers have never even worked on a game before creating that game


I did play that one. lol  That's interesting too!  Game designer Jann McGonigal calculated that as a planet we play 3 billion hours of video games a week.


That's a lot of time! I didn't spend anywhere near that much time back when Mortal Kombat first came out, but I did spend a lot on that game haha. That's the game that started the rating system and video games by the way


lol  Nice.  I remember that game too!  Stepen Fry did the narration for Little Big Planet, Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, and Harry Potter video games.  I'm not familiar with him.


No I'm not either. I'm glad he's getting a lot of work though. It's crazy that games today can actually make more money than a Hollywood movie, we've come a long way!


I agree!  Jim Hanks, Tom Hanks' brother, does the Woody's voice in video games and merchandise.  I've heard that voice in the merch. he sounds just like Tom.


Yeah they probably sound the same since their brothers haha. I also think it's wild that more games are banned in the country of Australia than China, you only hear about the Chinese government Banning things but never Australia


Wow that is crazy.  Speaking of which...it's illegal for kids 16 and under in South Korea to play video games past midnight.


Yeah I definitely would have gone to jail as a kid because I played video games past midnight lol. On a different topic though what do you think about planet Earth? Did you know that it's four times as dense as the sun


lol I didn't know that.  I know about 71% of the Earth is covered with water and the remaining 29% is land that consists of continents and islands.


Are this pretty incredible, I'm shocked that the magnetic field of the earth reverses every 200,000 thousand years, I wonder if it will reverse in our lifetime that would be scary


I hope not!  Earth will be virtually helium free by the end of the 21st century.


Pretty scary. speaking of scary, Google apparently uses about 0.01% of worldwide electricity, I think that is a lot for just one company


I'm sure they suck a lot of power.  A single google search requires more computing power than it took to send astronauts to the moon.


That's really crazy! It's also crazy that Google calls their new employees nooglers LOL I don't know what that means


lol I've never heard that.  That's funny because I call myself a googler when I'm googling at the office. lol  I can't believe I'ts been over 20 years since Google was founded in 1998.  Time flies.  It's been fun chatting with you!


Thanks it's been fun chatting with you as well! And keep in mind that next time you use Gmail, Google actually bought that domain name from Garfield lol they used to use gmail.com as their email domain at garfield.com


I had no idea!  That's interesting!  Have a good night!


Do you follow Elon Musk?  He bet OpenAI could be a human pro gamer at a complex video game.


Hi, I don't follow Elon Musk, wow I think AI is pretty amazing!


He's a real rich guy.  Some say he's the basis for Iron Man.  His bot will compete and have to show great intuition.


Oh wow, that's awesome. I guess the bot is going to take on a team of 5 players who are professional!


Yes, OpenAI already has a track record of beating all levels of humans. It uses 5 of 115 characters.


Oh wow, that can be kind of creepy lol, I know bots are programmed by humans but it is so interesting how they act and think. They say this particular bot is changing the way humans are using strategy and thinking and how they look at strategies, very interesting!


It is and it is kinda scary.  The bot in the article learns from expert humans -- even some really unorthodox strategies.


Really? So odd in some ways, it seems this bot has independently hit on it's own strategies....


I wonder if bots will ever grow hair?  Humans lost most of theirs 240,000 years ago.


If bots grow hair I will be severely damaged lol, But humans are also the best distance runners among all running animals, that is crazy. I need to use Google on my computer and look this AI stuff up.


There is a sound frequency that causes fear in humans.  For me, that's the sound of an accordion....


I didn't know that, interesting. I don't know what my frequency would be. So do you own a computer or do you use your phone? I like my laptop.


Laptop.  Funny humans can regrow ribs in only 2-3 months.


I heard about that, I wish we could regrow limbs. I was reading on a Google search that Transhumanists think it would be a good idea to upload their minds to the computer....very strange!


I'm old enough that I would be happy just to regrow hair.  I hope these Transhumanists have more RAM than the Space Shuttle did.  Only 1MB!


The space shuttle only had 1MB of ram? Wow, that's crazy! About as nuts as the Russians made a computer that ran on water....


Also crazy is a 16-bit computer that was build out nothing but basic Minecraft blocks.


Right? So many interesting facts. I was just reading on Google that the AI bot playing games was trained daily and the information it received was equal to 180 years of playing time by humans, I am so interested in those bot now lol....


Coo.  Do you remember on 08/16/2013 that Google went down and took out 40% of web traffic?  I don't...


Nope I don't remember that but that is huge! I love Google, looks like many others do too!


I use Google... I may not in the future.  I don't like their politics and how they censor people they don't agree with like conservatives.  Thanks for the chat! You were excellent!


yes I do. Do you know what they use to be called


yes they were called cathode ray tube amusement devices


Yes, I am so glad someone came up with just video games


Yeah me too. Do you know who Stephen Fry is?


yes the guy that did the narration for a bunch of games like harry potter and little big planet


Yeah what a talent. Do you know who does the voice of Woody in video games?


Yes that is Jim Hanks who happens to be TOm Hank's brother


Yeah. In south korea is illegal to play video games past midnight if you are under 16


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


yes it is about 3 billion hours as calculated by Jane McGonigal


Yeah I know that sadly we have destroyed 80% of the forests


Yeah. Do you believe in extraterrestrials


Somewhat but it is good we have an ambassador now in case


Yeah. Did you know the day had 55 hours when earth was formed


Yeah so short. Earth will be free of helium by the end of the century


yes no more fun balloons and funny voices I guess


Yes a lot. Do you know what they used to be called?


Yes they were called cathode ray tube amusement devices


Yes I am glad they changed it over to video games


Yes me too. Did you know that Stepehn Fry did the voice for the Harry Potter video game?


Yes and also did it for other games such as the little big planet and hitchhiker's guide to galaxy


Yeah. Do you know who does the voice of woody in video games


Yes that is Jim Hanks, who is Tom Hank's brother as well


Yeah. IN south koreas it is illegal to play video games past midnight if you are under 16


I wonder how they enforce that. Do you know much about the Earth?


I know that we have destroyed about 80% of the forests sadly


Yes I know. WHen it was formed, the day had only 5.5 hours


Yes I am glad that has changed otherwise I would also be behind on work


Me too. Do you believe in extraterrestrials?


Yes I do and it is good that we now have an ambassador


Yes just in case they decide to show up we will have the right guy


Yeah I know. Did you know that earth will be helium free by the end of the century?


Yes I guess no more funny voices and fun balloons for us


Same here and use those balloons as much as you can for now


Hi how are you? Look at this? "Colorado girls may have been killed, their father's defense attorneys say, in motion." Isn't this crazy?


Yes, it's a really sad story. I hope the suspect, if guilty, is punished.


I hope so too.  A motion filed Friday by attorneys defending Christopher Watts, who investigators believe killed his pregnant wife and daughters, asked that DNA samples be taken from the children's necks. I wounder what would have caused a person to do this?


I wonder too. But then I remember that there are some people with really sick mental issues. Some things we can't understand. Doesn't excuse the behavior though.


That is so true. Did you know they didn't find a cause to the death of the people?


I had no idea about that. I'm not surprised though since the bodies were contaminated by their surroundings.


There looks like there were a bunch of people that were all injured around there.


Yeah, that was an interesting story about what happened at the Backstreet Boy concert. I do think that the people holding the event should have warned the people.


Yes they should have warned them. Then the disaster would not have happened. It is sad what happened.


Agreed. I think that there might be lawsuits against the organizers since they were responsible for it.


Then there was the stuff going on with the Immigration. There's a lot going on.


I thought that situation with the illegal immigrant that was apprehended by ICE ws a tricky one. There was too much politics being played on that one. It was clear that the father was a suspect for a murder and ICE were only doing their job.


Yes ICE was only doing their job. I think they were trying to make a spectacle out of the people. So they could make a political mark.


Agreed. That's how politics usually works. It's sad. I hope that people start to understand that the law is important.


Yes you are so right. It is so difficult. Then did you hear about the Shark? Wow that was also a crazy thing. So many things in one week.


It's actually odd to think that there are people in Indonesia that has sharks for pets. I think culture plays a lot in terms of what we deem normal.


Yes culture does deem normal. It is weird you would think a dolphin would be a pet but not a shark. It only make the sharks want to come more around the swimming area. Sad.


It's unfortunate. Personally, I think people should let wild animals be free. But what can I say, we have dogs as pets while others eat them.


I agree with that statement. That would be a crazy thought to eat a dog.


I personally don't want to think about it. I'll stick to hamburgers.


I do! I use google as my main search engine and google mail. Do you?


I use google mail and google docs, is there any other search engine besides google ?


I think Bing still exists, but I don't know anyone who actually uses it. A single google search requires more computing power than it took to send neil armstrong to the moon! Amazing the technology that's readily available.


It is amazing how faster computers are. And those computers in the 60s, were among the fastest that they could build at the time.  As for google's services. I forgot Google Maps, it is very useful for me.


Yes, google maps is a must for me too! I never know where i'm going. It calculates traffic by how fast android phones are moving on the road.


I do that too! It is very useful in a big city with lots of roadwork.Also, Google modify the map to respect each country territorial revendication, I guess it is good.


For sure! When google went down for 5 minutes in 2013 it took 40 percent of web traffic with it.


Maybe it shows that Google is getting too big, don't you think ?


It is certainly the biggest and most powerful search engine. It's a little scary to think what we would do if it really did go down for good.


Like you said, if it was separated in smaller entities, if one part would go down, it would not take 40% of all internet traffic.


Yeah, I use Netflix, I think it grows faster than Google.


Yeah, it accounts for 33 percent of the bandwidth in north america from 9pm to 12am!


And you, do you use Netflix ? Do you have a favorite show ?


Yeah, I do it use it! I just finished watching that new Netflix show called You. Have you seen it?


No, I did not seen it, but it was recommended by the algorithm, I like shows that are produced in house by Netflix, especially those that came from Asia.


It was pretty good, Netflix seems to produce some pretty good shows. Netflix and youtube create half the internet traffic in North America.


That is crazy, I imagine that Blockbuster is regretting their decision to buy Netflix for 50 million.


Yeah, are there even any block busters left anymore? I do miss going in to pick out a movie sometimes.


I don't miss that much, especially the late fees.


Yeah, that's one thing that was annoying. I think I racked up so many fees from forgetting to bring stuff back.


They had a positive side, they inspired the founder of Netflix.


That's a good thing! Well, it was nice chatting with you!


You too, I wish you plenty of good shows on Netflix.


Hey there, I am really into music, art, poetry and concerts. The Kennedy Center is a place i've never been to yet.


Hello. Interesting. Are we speed dating here? If so, my favorite band is the Foo Fighters, they play loud enough to show up on seismic monitors.


HA, yeah I guess it does have that fun fact speedy kinda feel,lol. Yeah, Foo fighters are amazing. I have to brag and say I have seen the Ramones in person decades ago, I am one of their 2,263 concerts.


You are? That's interesting. I cannot believe ABBA turned down a billion to do a tour.


ABBA scored my favorite musical Mamma Mia too.


I haven't seen that one yet, is it good? I think it's hilarous that a woman on her way to the Dave Matthews concert, helped him while he was stranded.


Awww, thats awesome. I wanna meet or be stranded on the side of the road now, kind of. Yes, Mamma Mia is good but the music is epic. I used to like Creed until I heard that they aren't very good in person. They were even sued for an awful concert in the past.


Oh, i can believe that. I have been to a Creed concert. It wasn't great in my opinion. Did you know there are steam pianos? They can be heard for miles.


Awe, I never heard of that but it seems like it would be glorious. I would love to learn to play. I learned of an aluminium grand piano.


I'm not musical, but I would love to hear both. I find it interesting that music, art and poetry were once olympic sports.


Oh yeah, that is amazing. What a cool combo, it makes sense. I was impressed by this aluminum piano that was built for the airship Hindenburg. It only weighed 356lbs.


A mute man in England can only communicate by piano, that would be amazing to hear.


Oh my, what a gift to be born with. I recently heard about a poem that when read normally is depressing but when read backwards is inspiring. That is my kind of poetry and maybe I could understand it.


Tupac Shakur studied poetry in high school I guess that's why his rap is more poetry than gangsta.


Oh yeah, cool. I like rap and that's probably why because some of it is very poetic. The japanese alphabet, when recited in order forms a poem,too.


The vikings were very fond of poetry, as well.


Oh okay. Almost all of the hobbits characters names were taken out of old poems, dvergatal.


I did not, as I have never read any of the books. The vikings consider poetry, a gift from Odin


Oh cool, a gift from Odin. Ya know, Edgar Allen Poe only received $9 for the peon the Raven. I guess money does not live on like poetry.


Back then, that was a lot of money. It still is, when you factor in inflation. Nixon wrote a piano concerto, I didn't know he studied music.


I never knew that either, I did know that Pink Floyd played for an empty amphitheatre in Pompeii, that had to be awesome.


thank you for chatting with me, enjoy your day.


Do you subscribe to Netflix?  As of Oct. 2018, they had 137M subscribers.


I used to, but I haven't been with them for awhile.  Might if I ever get some extra money rolling in.  LOL.  But yeah, it's amazing how HUGE they are!


They are!  From 9pm to 12am they use 33% of bandwidth in N. America.


Did you know the guy who invented it came up with the idea after racking up a $40 late fee on a vhs rental?  That's kind of funny!


Yeah.  Turning anger into riches.  I love it.  Later, Blockbuster declined several offers to buy Netflix for nothing compared to what it's worth now.


Yeah, I heard about that.  They were offered to buy it for $50 and they said no, now it's worth like $2 billion!  I bet someone is kicking themselves over missing out on that!


For sure... Here's a head-scratcher... Some people think the universe in one big superhologram...


Like something out of The Matrix?  Yeah, I guess it's possible, but even if it was there's no way to know, so you'd really just have to keep living "as is" (if that makes sense.)


I agree.  Did you know there are stars cold enough to be touched.  Does that mean cold fusion is a real thing?


That I can't tell ya... although I'd assume it just means there's stars out there that aren't very warm.  Good thing our sun isn't like that!  Speaking of space.. ever seen Wall-E?


I watch part of it then fell asleep.  I didn't know it was derived from Walter ELIAS Disney...


Yeah, that's a neat little factoid.  Another neat thing is they got all sorts of hidden "Mickeys" (ie Mickey Head shapes) all over the various Disney resorts.  People make it a game to find them.


Are they worth anything?  I didn't realize Minnie Mouse's name is short for Minerva...


No, they're painted on various surfaces, you can't really take them with ya (unless you chip them out of the walls...) LOL


I'm sure they wouldn't appreciate that.  I bet Netflix doesn't like paying 20 times more on postage than they do for bandwidth.


Yeah, that surprises me.  I didn't think too many still got the DVDs in the mail, but I guess there's still some people out where internet isn't so great so streaming isn't really an option.


Yeah, I was puzzled about that too.  Another weird theory: there is only one electron in the universe.  OK, this one is crazy...


I'm not even sure how that would WORK given what he know about atoms and stuff.  Unless they're trying to say the electron is so BIG that the entire universe is in it... (shrugs)


Yeah, it's crazy on the surface... Crazy like Disney's Big Hero 6 used a 55,000 core computer to render it.  Wow, I am typing this on a 4-core computer...  Humbling...


Wonder how long the film took to render on that thing?  Bet you could play a mean game of Fortnight (or whatever is big now) on a computer like that!  ;)


For sure... That's one major computer... Thanks for your help.  You were and excellent chat partner!


yes I do love concerts, I want to see the concert put on by 81 year old Philip glass


Is he the one that is playing at the Kennedy Center?


yes he is, it sounds like hes been preparing for this concert for a long time. I just want to support him because he's getting old


Sounds like a good story he has.  In Croatia, there is an ancient Roman amphitheatre that is still used for concerts.  That would be interesting to see a show at.


Yes I would love to visit there. I would also love to go to a dog concert LOL apparently they play high frequencies that only dogs can hear


lol  That's interesting!  Would be funny to see the dogs reactions.


Yep I wonder if they would enjoy the music? Do you enjoy Abba's music by the way


Hahaha I do because I grew up in the 70s and when I hear them it takes me back to being a kid.


Yep I like Abba a lot, it's crazy that they turned down a billion dollars to do a 100 concert tour


Wow!  I didn't know that.  That's a lot of cash!  The Ramones played 2,263 shows over a 20 year span.  Bet they didn't come close to making that for their entire career.  lol


Haha that's a good point! Do you ever listen to Foo Fighters? Apparently their concerts were so loud they show up on seismic monitors


I do listen to them!  Dave Grohl is actually from not far from where I live and his grandparents, parents, aunts, and uncles still live there.  He comes home a lot.  The Foo Fighters even played a show at a local record store.  It's on youtube look up foo fighters niles, ohio and you can watch it.


Wow I'll have to check that out. Do you play any instruments by the way? I personally play the piano


I play guitar.  Tried piano but for some reason I couldn't get it.  Thought I wouldn't have a problem because of the guitar.  But, I was wrong.  Did you know that Freddie Mercury and Paul McCartney used the same piano to record their hits "Bohemian Rhapsody" and "Hey Jude"?


Wow that's very cool! Also cool is that steam pianos are a thing, you can actually hear their notes from miles away


I am going to have to look those up.  Sounds interesting.  They made an aluminum grand pianno for the lounge of the Hindenburg and it weighed only 356 pounds.  I wonder if it went down when the ship crashed?


That would be sad if it did go down with the Zeppelin, very strange that Richard Nixon could play the piano and actually did a performance for The Tonight Show


I never knew that about him.  I wonder if that's on youtube?  On April 18, 1930 the BBC decided there was no news worth reporting so they broadcasted piano music instead.  lol


That seems really nice! I wish they would do that today, what do you think about the mysterious mute man who they found in England and he could only communicate through with a piano, that should be a horror movie


Wow.  I never heard that story.  That's actually pretty interesting.  I have to get running. It was nice chatting with you today!


Hello, how are you? Do you watch Netflix?


I'm doing great! I watch Netflix occasionally - just another one of the 137 million people that do. Do you?


Yes, I do too! I have other places also, like Hulu and Amazon prime. Think blockbuster made a mistake.


Blockbuster made the same mistake other companies like Toys R Us and Sears did by not playing the online market. Netflix took a risk and hit it big that way.


Yes, true. That $40 late fee was inspiring!


That's one nice thing about online streaming. They can't very well charge a late fee!


I use Netflix and YouTube also in the evening usually.  Peak internet traffic time.


It's amazing that everything still streams so smoothly when Netflix sometimes gets up to 33% of all bandwidth in North America.


Yes it does. Good idea of google to use goats to keep lawn mowed!


I bet Google could make some money off that if they started filming the goats and streaming them on something like Netflix. People love watching animals do the most random things.


Oh yes, like that. A single google search computes alot of power!


It has to when it searches the entire web and generates millions of results at a time! A five minute downtime in 2013 accounted for 40% of web traffic.


I don't have any personal experience with the company, but I'm really intrigued to see where they go with their ideas. Elon Musk is so innovative.


Yes, i think so. Didn't know Toyota owns %10 of Tesla.


I wonder if they want to make sure not to miss out on a potentially successful new car idea, like doing the opposite of Blockbuster and buying into their industry's "Netflix."


could be? I love driving electric cars. No sound. lol


I've never driven one, but I can see the appeal of that! So many people around here drive big trucks with even bigger engines and you can hear the rev, rrrrev, RRREVing from across the neighborhood. A quiet Tesla sounds nice.


lol, I love big trucks too! All American!! Didn't know Tesla helped to develop Toyota's 2nd Gen Rav4 Great Chat!


That's true, big trucks are awesome for a lot of things. My mom drives one! Not a Toyota, though. I wonder if Tesla's made any big trucks. Great chatting with you too!


Yes a lot. Do you know how much computing power a single search requires?


yes more than it took to take Neil and 11 others to the moon


Yeah. Do you know how they calculate traffic?


Yes they take the average with which android devices move in traffic


Yeah And once they hired goats instead of people to mow the lawn


SO good, they are really creative with stuff like this sometimes


Yeah true. ANd they once went down for 5 minutes and took with them 40% of the traffic in the web


Yes I do. They account for one third of bandwidth in NA in the morning


No surprises there together with youtube they account for half of the peak traffic


Yes. And they still spend more on postage than on bandwidth, 20 times more


Yes when there was no Netflix, how about you?


Me too. They had a chance to buy it but did not , too bad


Yes and for just millions they could have made billions


True. DO you know how the idea for it came by?


Yes the guy who started it got a late $40 fee on a VHS


I love cars and my favorite brand is Tesla. Do you like them?


I sure do they are good cars. It was nice chatting with you.


I see,  it's a great service.  Looks like Netflix spends more money on postage than bandwidth,  that's really interesting!


I heard that.  So much for "old school".  I heard Netflix was inspired by a late fee on a video rental.  Funny...


That's hilarious!  I guess that's when all the good ideas come to someone,  when they are fed up with what already exists.


Yep.  Netflix is bringing back some 80s comic book stuff like Voltron.  I prefer Walt Disney cartoons like good ol' Mickey Mouse myself.


Voltron!  What a classic,  that's amazing!


Yeah, I had forgotten about Voltron.  'She-Ra and the Princesses of Power' somehow escaped me.  Nextflix is doing that too.


Omg,  really?  I use to love She-Ra,  saying it now sounds kinda funny.  Like what kind of name is that lol I also,  like Walt Disney,  Did you know Wall-e was named after walt disney?


I didn't know that.  To each their own... Why take to fantasy things when the universe is fantastic enough?  Ya know, there are suns that a cold enough to touch?


I think you mean stars!  Got it!  Yeah isn't that amazing!


They are synonyms.  I think dark matter and dark energy is a fascinating riddle.  Much like the theory that  universe may be one giant superhologram


yeah,  I wonder what makes them think that.


I don't know.  I may be the same people that think the moon landings were faked.  Like the Blockbuster people that refused to buy NetFlix -- Doh!


Yeah,  what a missed opportunity on their part!  They would still be in business if they had bought Netflix!


Yep.   I bet they wished they had that one back.


Can you believe that Netflix and YouTube make up half of the internet traffic in America?


Wow.  I guess I won't feel guilty streaming EVER.


lol I absolutely love that nowadays we don't have to been home at a certain time to watch a show,  streaming has changed lives!


Agreed!  lol Well, its been fun,  have a good one.


Hi, yes I do although I have not been to a concert recently.  I have to say I never even saw the Ramones even though they toured almost non stop for over 20 years.


Linkin Park played 324 concerts in 2001 alone! That's a lot of shows!


Yes it is!  I'd like to go to a concert in an ancient roman amphitheater.  I understand Croatia has one still in use..


I wonder if Creed has ever played there. I am sure they would be sued for their performance there too.


Lol! I've heard about that. Didn't they get sued back in 2002 for a bad concert?


Yes! I remember that issue. He played for 10 minutes passed out and then called it art... The concert lasted 10 minutes and had him passed out on stage. Light weight!


He passed out after 10 minutes! No wonder four people sued!


Not like a Pink Floyd show. In 1972 they recorded a live concert in the amphitheater with no audience!


That's one way to keep from getting sued!  They could do anything and no one would know.  Speaking of no audience, I heard that a group of climbers reached the top of britain's highest mountain in 2006 and found a piano.


I read that and want to know who actually dragged a piano up there. You have to be dedicated to climbing and the piano!


Yes you do.  Even if you used the piano built for the hindenburg it would still be heavy. It was 356 pounds.


That's one great sherpa! There's a piano that freddie mercury used to write bohemian rhapsody and paul mccartney used for hey jude! Now thats a good piano!


Agreed!  Say, back in 1930 the bbc decided there was no news worth reporting so they broadcast piano music instead. Don't you think they should do that in this day and time?


That's too much piano for my desire... I get irritated with the news but must be a glutton for punishment because I still watch it. Although I would like to hear the stress test song...


Yeah. I guess it is not playable by humans...


Yes. Unlike other forms of art, like poetry, which is done by humans.


Poetry dates way back to prehistoric times.  Interesting when you think about it.


Agreed. There is a 224 word Palindrome! Nice chatting with you.


I do, actually! What about you? I love Golden State's new championship rings and how they have a bristly texture with a perfect circle at the top to match the Oracle Arena!


The Oracle Arena is impressive, I heard the diamonds are vast like 74 diamonds


They are! It is so beautiful! So do you have a favorite? I like Tim Duncan because I admire how he elected to finish four years of college before joining the NBA. He sacrificed money for an education!


I like Tim Duncan as well, I  think he made the right decision, I also used to like Michael Jordan,


Same here. In fact, did you know Air Jordan's were actually banned when they were introduced but Nike paid the fines each game so Jordan wore them anyway? That was a great way to market them!


I didnt know that, they paid for the fines? wow I bet those shoes generated lots of money a fine didnt matter


Agreed! Well speaking of basketball, I heard that physicists have proved shooting granny style is the best  technique to score points on the line. However, NBA players refuse to use that method because it looks stupid. Can't say I blame them!


I would use that technique if I earned as much money as they do, wouldnt mind looking stupid


You're right about that! After all, they are the best paid athletes in the world by average annual salary  so they shouldn't worry about looking silly or stupid.


I know right, so do you like Drake? that Canadian musician?


I do, actually! I just can't believe he graduated high school at the age of 25 back in 2012. What about you?


That is crazy, I bet he grew in a poor family, I do like him, think he has a lot of talent


He does. I like how he visited Drake University right after the students there gave up on trying to get Drake there during a tour stop!


Canada has great artists, do you follow Justin Bieber as well?


You're right, Canada does! I do also follow Justin Beiber and not the Justin Beiber who was banned from Facebook just for having the same name as the singer. That was just wrong for Facebook to do that.


It was, why ban that other guy, he is the author of the most diliked video in Youtube I guess a lot of haters out there.


So true! But can you believe Beiber has yet to have a number one single in both the US and Great Britain?


Yeah, I guess he is more popular in other countries, sounds like he has a great heart as well he granted 200 wishes in the make a wish foundation


That is very admirable! So nice of him to do that! I'm glad he gives back after becoming the first artist to have seven songs from a debut chart on the Billboard Top 100!


He is the first artist really? wow that is impressive, I like his music,


Hi turker, do you like NBA, If yes, do you like the Golden State Warriors?


I don't pay much attention to basketball. I've heard most of their players actually end up under financial stress after retirement


I didn't know that, because they make good money, maybe bad Investments.


It's possible. One former player chose upfront money over a stake in Nike, which was a bad financial decision on his end


Ok, but I think Michael Jordan made lots of money from Nike shoes and shirts, I guess it depends on your nba performance.


True. The league wasn't formed until the 1940s, which is fairly recent compared to other popular sports


The think that a player like Steph Curry would make a good living after retirement for him and his family.


He seems to have a good head on his shoulder. Tim Duncan is another one. Instead of going directly into the NBA, he stayed in college for four years


I always like to see Tim Duncan play, because he was a cool player and easy going, never really get upset while playing.


That's really cool. One thing I don't get is why Coach Stan Van Gundy was fined. All he said was that he didn't think they should play games on Christmas


Yes that did sound strange, I didn't know the reason for his comment, did you know the reason for that comment?


Not sure. I guess it's one of those things we'll never know. One thing I do know is that Just Bieber has the most disliked video on YouTube


It doesn't surprise me too much, such a young guy when he started, but lived as an adult.


He was on an episode of MTV's silent library when he was only 15. That's pretty young


Yes, I like a few of his songs when he first became famous. As he grew older that change. Did you know the nba was found in New York City on June  1946.


Of course it was in NY. They even have international offices there


Yes, I thought Reggie Miller was a pretty good three pointer, he was another cool player almost like Tim Duncan.


If you take the average per playter, basketball players are actually the best paid athletes in the world. I guess that shows how much of a team sport it is


Yes, you are right, what do you think about wnba? Have you watched one game?


No, I don't usually watch television at all, let alone sports. Of the four major sports leagues in the US, the NBA isn't one I keep up on much


Ok, nba player allen Iverson signed a lifetime contract through reebok for $800,000 a year until age 55, wow.


That's pretty legit. I wonder how much they make through sponsorships along


Hi are you a fan of Justin Bieber or now any interesting things about him?


I know nothing about him. well, he is canadian. what do you know?


I know that he was discovered on youtube in 2008 and was signed to a record deal.


I wonder how many people ahve been discovered on youtube. I guess he must be worth 10 of millions by now.


I bet.  His first full length studio album My World 2.0 debuted in 2010 at number 1 in several countries.


I think the fans skew pretty young. i know that one of his videos is the most hated on youtube. i dont know why.


I cant imagine that he can go on much longer. he is getting old and the new generation will want someone younger.


Yes.  He does some nice things for charity.  He has granted 200 wishes for the make a wish foundation.  It's the most ever done by a recording artist.


He does a great job with the fans, i guess. i am not into his music. i am probably too old. LOL


No.  Never too old.  Just a different generation.  Bieber has never had a number one single in the U.S. or Great Britain.  Interesting seeing how is albums were No. 1's. lol


I guess the fans bought them but there wasnt much radio play?


That could be.  There was a Justin Bieber, a guy in his 30s, who was banned from Facebook for sharing the same name with the famous celebrity.  Crazy.


Yeah, that is weird. but the people with the money have the lawyers to make the rules. Tom Cruise did something like that.


That's just pathetic in my book.  It just doesn't seem right to do that.  Do you like basketball at all?


I do like basketball. played when i was younger. not now though. too old LOL


Out of the 30 teams do you have a favorite one?  Mine is the Cavs because I'm from there originally.


I like Golden State. I like steph curry. I do like LeBron. people say he betrayed cleveland, but i dont know what i would have done in his position.


I know I would have taken the money and set up kids and my grandchildren up for life. lol  Although when came back,  I didn't think he would leave again.  Oh well.  Did you know that Air Jordan's were banned by the NBA but Michael Jordan wore them anyhow because Nike was willing to pay the fine for each game?  It's been fun chatting with you!


Yeah, Nike got a bargain in my opinion. Great chatting!


Not that much although I wonder what Miguel Cabarllo's bulletproof clothing looks like


Me either. I try to stay trendy and I appreciate the artistic side. What is cool is that humans decided at some point that clothing is necessary and we are the only species to do it.


Yea, although people like the Greeks didn't make the smartest fashion choices by putting asbestos into their clothing


Still, it's uniquely human and it varies greatly depending on body type, social and geographic considerations. Including the Greeks haha.


Ironically there is an African tribe that still wears victorian clothing even after the Germans who introduced it left


Did you know that the Pilgrims clothing was actually very colorful?


No, i figured it was just black. Did you know people used to use Old Faithful to do their laundry on?


Yep, people would just put their clothes on the geyser and wait for it to erupt


Haha that seems like a pretty dangerous eruption. Like all of a sudden it could explode and blast your clothes into the sky


Yea but I wonder if using a geyser would be able to get asbestos out of clothing


I imagine it gets almost everything. Except oil. Nothing gets oil out.


Yea, oil sucks. DId you know a man in China wore 70 clothing items just to avoid bagging fees


I wonder how he was able to fit into one seat. I would be annoyed if I had to sit next to him.


That would suck. Did you know airports make travelers walk farther just so they don't have to fetch baggage off planes faster?


That's interesting. Do you travel a lot?


I try to, it's disappointing to know air travel is down 10% than it was in the 1960s


That is disappointing. We wouldn't be able to see the world without like the king of Hawaii.


I wish I could travel like the garden gnomes people steal and take pictures of to send back to their owners


I'd like to see Iceland. Apparently they have to use domestic flights to get around from town to town


That sucks. Well I have to go, nice chatting with you


Hi, are you a dog person? Dogs are the only animals other then elephants that instinctively understand pointing.


I am and that's pretty cool. I know there are 12 different blood types for dogs and that they can donate.


That is crazy! I've been reading a lot about dogs lately but I did not know that. Obviously humans have had dogs around a long time but I'm surprised they are the first domesticated. I would have thought cats.


Did you know google is a "dog" company.  It's even in their code of conduct.


Yes! When I googled information on dogs that came up! I guess because dogs perform so many roles for humans. They are more like "man's best helper" then just "friend".


Your right., hunting, police, and military to name a few.


Yes. It's crazy to think how many have actual jobs. It's much more common today to see people with service dogs also.


Yes that's true. I just found out that dogs are not really color blind. Did you know that?


Yes, but I don't think their vision is as good as ours at least as far as seeing colors.


Your probably right but i always thought they were completely color blind. Did you see the wonder women movie?


Yes actually, it's great. Did you know Gal Gadot didn't even know she was auditioning for Wonder Woman. She thought it was for Catwoman lol.


Wow how'd she miss that..lol. I think she did a good job i was skeptical at first. Now it's the highest grossing female superhero movie.


Yeah she's really an interesting person outside of being an actress. She served in the Israeli defense force for 2 years! She might not be wonder woman in real life but she can still take on bad guys.


Yeah that's awesome i did not know that. i think the film grossed nearly or helped the dceu push pass 3 billion.


That sure is a lot of money! It's interesting how the character of Wonder Woman has progressed over the decades. Not sure if you ever read any of the old comics, but when she first appeared in the justice society they made her their secretary! that wouldn't fly these days.


Your Right!! did you know that apple had a clothing line?


Yes actually! They are worth mega bucks these days. I recently got into vintage clothing, well I discovered some old clothes I had are now worth money lol. No apple shirts anymore though.


Ok? Anyway my dog is really barking, I think someone is walking to the door. Either that or he just wants food.


Dogs are very good friends i miss mine. In Istanbul they have a vending machine that releases food and water for city stray's.


And people here forget about their dogs in their cars and they die. I wish they had stuff like that here. Anyway I should be going. It was nice talking with you. I learned a lot more about dogs.


Yeah that's horrible but they often forget about their children too. that's a shame! Anyway nice chatting with you!


Did you know scientists think we have hiccups because evolved from land animals that had lungs as well as gills? Do you think that could be true?


I think I remember in school learning that there are over 7 million species of animals on earth, but I think I also remember learning that we're discovering new ones often, especially in the rain forests and oceans.


In school. I was very interested in animals always, and even read more than I was assigned for school. I learned about the loch ness monster, too. It's a protected species, even!


I have read about that. I believe it has been protected for nearly a century.


There's some really cute loch ness monster movies, too. I remember being so jealous of a friend who got a job studying frogs in their environment at a pond.


I do not think I have ever heard the Loch Ness monster described as cute before. Do you like prehistoric reptiles?


Yes, I think I like nearly all living things. One of my favorite things I learned in school about animals was their ecosystems and habits. I loved to learn how many different things interact with each other.


There are a lot of  animals to learn about.


Germany really likes animals, I think. I've heard they have constitutional rights for animals. I bet the have lots of pets, too.


I like animals as much as the next person but writing them into the constitution seems like overkill.


I wonder if Germany also taxes them! There's a joke about wildlife in the US where it makes fun of how you must pay for a hunting license but yet if you run over an animal that damages your car you don't get money back.


They might even make the wild animals pay land taxes! lol Seriously though, I bet they could tax pet owners. There's already license fees in the US, right?


Yes you have to license at least some pets, like dogs. Do you have any pets?


I recently moved and on my land there were two small kittens. I felt bad and fed them. Then more cats started coming around, but I don't want more than a few! lol They are barn cats, but come in sometimes.


Yes, and some of them don't let me pet them, even. I'm going to have to take them to the local ASPCA to get them fixed so they don't have more kittens! I heard Theodore Roosevelt had a bear and a hyena for pets!


I wonder if animals like that can ever really be pets. It sounds a little bit more like a zoo.


I don't know if they were the types of pets you can pet. I've seen people on TV shows that raise those types of animals and pet them, though. Do you like those animal shows?


I used to watch some veterinary show. It was an older guy that was great with animals! I'm gonna go pet my cats now, or at least the nice ones! lol


Hi there, I sure do, I think nature is amazing. How about you?


I agree. I love nature. Did you know there are 20 quintillion animals on Earth?


Holy cow, that is insane, but I'm sure its way less than it was a couple hundred years ago.


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


Very interesting, so that is why, I never knew that.


I had no idea either. Germany became the first country to give animals constitutional rights.


It sounds like back in 2002, I wonder if other countries will eventually follow.


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


That is true!  I remember learning about that back in school, so crazy!


For sure. The loch ness monster is actually a protected species lol. Even though it may not even exist.


That is too funny, I don't think it does, I think people saw the Greenland shark and thought it was some weird creature.


I agree. The first cloned pet was a cat.


Interesting, wasn't the first cloned thing ever a sheep or something?


It says it was a cat and they named it copy cat lol.


That is very clever lol.  What is crazy is that there are more pet tigers than wild ones in asia.


I did not know that. Pretty crazy I agree. I would not want a pet tiger.


Heck no, what would you do with one?  I mean, it what are you trying to be Al Pacino in Scarface? lol


HAHA. Roosevelt had over 20 pets, including a bear and a hyena.


That is just too nuts, both of those animals and I'm sure a bunch of the other ones just doesn't make sense to me.


Did you know the pilgrims clothes were full of color.


Yea I hear that Pilgrims only wore black for special occasions like thanksgiving I guess


Yea I love dogs, it's so interested they are descended from domesticated wolves


Yeah, I didn't know that. Did you know that they have 12 blood types too?


No, thats insane dogs have that many blood types, it must be tough for dogs to donate dogs


Yeah, did you know they aren't actually color blind?


Yea, Dogs can see just as many colors as humans


Did you know that google prefers dogs to cats?


Yea, Google must like dogs a lot if they put their preference in their official code of conduct


Yeah, they prefer them. Did you know Istanbul has vending machines releases food and water for stray dogs?


No, that's awesome, I hope there are vending machines that feed dogs somewhere in the US too


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


No, I wonder what the apple clothing looks like, I'm sure they are collectible items now


I wonder if they sell nice looking clothes in the store in Alabama that sells items from unclaimed baggage


Yeah, I'm not sure. Rip Curl makes clothes in North Korea, did you know that?


No, I wonder how Rip Curl is able to make clothes in North Korea due to all the sanctions against them


I'm not sure, but they label them as if they are from China.


I know mislabeling the country of manufacture is illegal in the US, I wonder if Rip Curl has gotten in trouble for that


I'm not sure, but they do it. Nice chatting with you.


As an ethnic Torajan in northern Indonesia, Berta Kondorura's transition to the hereafter was supposed to be an elaborate mixture of mourning and tradition-steeped celebration. Most of the nearly 500,000

As National Geographic wrote: The spaces between the tongkonan (stilted ancestral homes) are cluttered with squealing pigs bound to bamboo poles, soon to become lunch


leek, fat water buffalo are everywhere, lounging under trees, standing alongside the road, or being walked in circles by young men who tend them as affectionately as they would pets.


Everything about the funeral is hierarchical, cementing the status of the dead person's family


Animals are multicellular eukaryotic organisms that form the biological kingdom Animalia


A pet or companion animal is an animal kept primarily for a person's company, protection, or entertainment rather than as a working animal, livestock, or laboratory animal.


Under the provisions of the 1912 scottish protection of animals act, the loch ness monster is a protected species.


Dance is a performing art form consisting of purposefully selected sequences of human movement. This movement has aesthetic and symbolic value, and is acknowledged as dance by performers and observers within a particular culture. Dance can be categorized and described by its choreography, by its repertoire of movements, or by its historical period or place of origin.


Bruce lee was also a great dancer and he won the hong kong cha-cha championship in 1958.


There are about 20 quintillion individual animals on planet earth.


Tupac danced ballet in high school and ended up portraying the mouse king in a production of the nutcracker


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


Babies spontaneously dance when they hear music, and smile more when they hit the beat


Over 1.5 million living animal species have been described‚Äö of which around 1 million are insects‚Äö but it has been estimated there are over 7 million animal species in total?


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


It is not legal to "own" pets in boulder, colorado, but you may be their "guardian."


reptile pets, such as turtles, lizards and snakes; aquatic pets, such as fish, freshwater and saltwater snails, and frogs


I love Animals. Isn't it amazing that there are more than 20 quintillion on this planet?


I agree animals are super cool.  That is a huge number!


It really is! There are some crazy evolutionary traits out there, like animals only develop white patch on their forehead after they've been domesticated.


Yeah, that's cool.  They also speak different "languages" or "dialects"  I didn't know that!


It's so fascinating! and hiccups are an evolutionary hold over from when land animals had both gills and lungs.


Fascinating!  I also didn't that they had dominant paw like humans have a dominant hand


I didn't either. There are also some strange laws around some more mythical creatures. Like did you know the loch ness monster is a protected species in Scotland?


I think I had heard that before.  It's weird!  I remember reading that there are laws protecting bigfoot in a couple of states


There are it's crazy!  There are some crazy stats out there too, like there are more pet tigers in the u.s. than there are wild tigers in Asia.


Yep!  But why would anyone want a pet tiger lol.  why not just a regular cat...who won't kill you!


Right! I mean I guess some people like crazy pets. Teddy Roosevelt had something like 20 pets, even a bear and a hyena which is insane.


At that point you are really just a zookeeper lol.  Pets put people at greater risk in a disaster since they are more likely to stay put.  Didn't know that!


I didn't either! It makes sense though. I also didn't know there are less kids under 15 than pets in japan.


Wow, didn't know that! You can only own a rabbit in queensland if you are a magician


That's so weird. Similarly you can't "own" a pet in boulder colorado you are their "guardian".


huh, so strange.  Hamsters are banned in Hawaii.  I wonder why?


I think maybe because they are small, get loose a lot and become invasive.


I never thought about that.  Interesting!


Yeah sneaky little things. I mean we can just clone more cats to help I guess haha. Did you know the first cloned pet was a cat?


haha!  No, I didn't know that.  I have heard about people cloning their pets though its supposed to be super expensive


Right I love my pup but I don't think I could afford that.


Yes I do, I am thinking of followting the recomndations and start out with light cardio three to four times in a week, what about you? any goals


Run a half-marathon soon. The trick to working up to it is consistency and increasing by at most 10 percent per week.


Thats great! how many km are in a half-marathon? I think its a good strategy to just add 10


13.1. Doesn't hurt to vvary things up too. Throw some light cardio in there too, 20 minutes a pop three times a week.


Yeah, because you can get injured if you start with more than three times as well, I think ill let soreness indicate when to increase weights or cardio.


Yeah, it's not hard to get to 150 minutes a week if you take it easy and spread it out.


I know, and when you think about it it doesnt take much time just have to incorporate them as habits in your routine.


Yep, the key is doing things that you can incorporate into a life long habit. DOn't compare your progress to others.


I agree, everyone has a different body so I am going to listen to mine and try to progress, getting faster, stronger.


Golf is a good low impact exercise. DO you golf?


No, I have never known how to play, seems like a boring sport to me but I know many people are sick fans.


Yeah not really my thing either. Although apparently Samuel Jackson loves it so much he has it in his contracts to let him play golf during productions.


Really? that must be really expensive, Babe Ruth was a golfer as well.


Yeah apparently. I'm more of a guitar player myself. Brian May is not only a great guitarist but also an astrophysicist.


Brian May played/plays in Queen right? he must be one of the few that has a PHD.


Yeah, he plays the guitar with a six pence coin. WHich is cool.


I see, one of my favorite guitarist is Eddie Van Halen.


He's awesome. He apparently set his speakers on fire recording his solo for Michael Jackson's Beat It.


Thats crazy! so much power in those hands lol. Matthew Bellamy, the guitarist from muse hold the record for smashed guitar on a tour.


Seems like he needs some anger management. Maybe record an album in a nice calm place like the floating studio Astoria.


He sure does, guitars will think about messing with him twice though lol and yeah I heard Pink Floyd recorded some themes there.


Hello, do you want to chat about guitars? I personally love guitars, I used to play back when I was in college.  My guitar was fretted and had six strings.


I love guitars so great conversation topic, Im learning how to play them, cool sound


Awesome, so yes, it is typically played with both hands by strumming or plucking the strings with either a guitar pick or fingers of one hand while simultaneously fretting with the fingers of the other hand.


Yes, Eddie Van Halen.  I saw him at concerts many times.  Did you know that when Eddie recorded the guitar solo for "Beat It" he literally set the studio speakers on fire? He is a wildman!


I didnt know that, that's awesome, the level of skill of that guy, mine is Brian May


Wow, another fantastic guitar player. He played for Queen, I believe and also had a PhD in Astrophysics.  Very cool.


He does, not only a great guitarist but really smart, he made his own guitar in an unusual way


Really?  I did know that as the guitarist for Queen uses coins, especially sixpence as guitar picks.


He does? I guess his old fashioned, he is an interesting guy though


I totally agree with that statement.  Did you also know that Matthew Bellamy from the band Muse holds the Guinness World Record for most guitars smashed on a tour?  Another wild guy.


Thats crazy and poor guitars lol, I wouldnt trust my guitar around him that is a sure fact


I never saw anyone at a concert smash a guitar so I'm not sure how I'd feel about that either.  I do know that Pink Floyd's guitarist turned a Grand houseboat on the river Thames into a floating recording studio call the Astoria.  That must have been awesome.


Thats awesome, he must find a lot of peace out in the open sea


Probably.  Most anything done by Pink Floyd has to be amazing.  Do you golf?


Not really, I find the sport boring, do you like it?


I took golfing in college twice and it was not that boring to actually play golf. It is a club-and-ball sport in which players use various clubs to hit balls into a series of holes on a course in as few strokes as possible. I actually like playing 18 holes better than miniature golf.


Gold is a really popular sport theres even a golf course in Antarctica


Did you know that Babe Ruth was once America's most famous golfer?  I guess he liked both golf and baseball.


I didnt know that, talented athlete not only skilled in baseball but also a great golfer, he had a knack for sports I guess


Yes, he was good at more than one thing. Nice chatting with you, have a good day.


Have you ever read a book with "Lie" in the title?


I can't remember if I have.  I think the jist of it is books that have a great deal of deceit as part of the plot.


That makes sense. I have just never been much of a reader. Unless you cont reading to my son before bed.


That counts double!  Do you read him stuff about planets?  Like Jupiter's moon Ganymede is large enough to be considered a planet if it orbited the sun.


Yeah we go to the library every week and pick out new books. He really likes cars and trains and stuff like that.


Sound like a typical boy.  I have two sons.  They liked planets too and fun facts like Venus doesn't have any seasons.


Thats interesting. We read the other day that Astronomers detected building blocks of life (atoms) in a planetary system 455 light years away. All little dude wanted to do after that was play with his legos. Lol.


Legos are cool unless you step on them in the middle of the night barefooted. The are a quality product with only 18 out of 1000000 being bad.


Well anybody who has stepped on one in the middle of the night sure does know about that quality huh. They dont give any. I heard that lego is investing millions to switch away from oil based plastics. Its nice that they are going environmentally friendly.


Yeah, since they make soooo many.  If they were divided among all the people in the world, each person would have 86 Lego bricks.


Well we have a couple hundred peoples worth at my house then.


LOL.  Has your son started reading? Iti is described as a complex interaction so be patient. if he's just starting :)


He doesnt read by himself yet just looks at the pictures. He is still young. Maybe one day he will break the speed reading record of 4700 words per minute. Thats reading pretty fast. Lol.


I always wonder about how well these speed readers do in terms of reading comprehension.


I would think they are tested pretty extensively on that aspect. It would be hard to put someone in the record book just based on them saying they read this many pages.


Maybe so... It may be controversial like in the 18th century when there was a moral panic because the reading of novels was becoming popular.  They should see what we're up to now.


I think thats just how the world works. People panic about what they dont understand. Then it becomes main stream and they forgot that they even panicked.


Agree.  I wonder if anyone panicked when it was discovered that Uranus rotates on its side unlike the other planets?


Im sure there is some astronomer out there that was thinking this has to be the end, we better warn everybody. Lol.


Lol.  Best of luck to you and you're little dud.  You were and excellent chat partner!


I didn't realize the large asteroids were ever classified as planets. I never saw them included in a list of planets before 2006.


Had no idea. Makes me wonder if Pluto is still a planet


I'm pretty sure it was downgraded, but if I recall correctly it has been restored since.


Good! I see that every other planet could fit between the earth and moon. We must have some really big planets.


Jupiter's got about ten times earth's diameter.


Yeah. I also think Legos are cool. Modular design is a really efficient way of doing things.


I see they are also the world's largest tire manufacturer for their mini wheels haha


Interesting. I'd like to know more about that parts ecology and whether they're standardized to fit a lot of different vehicles.


I hear just about all legos fit all other sets, as they manufactured with some serious precision.


Yeah, I meant the mini-wheels in particular. That whole modular thing is a great way to beat planned obsolescence. PC hardware operates on the same principle.


Exactly. And people really appreciate that.


There's an open-source hardware outfit called Open Source Ecology that builds a whole collection of tabletop machine tools -- drill presses, lathes, routers, 3D printers, etc. -- with a lot of interchangeable parts like power supplies, that can reproduced with their own machinery.


I'm sure the 3D printer could be used for legos, or for anything that an industrial extruder is used for.


Would need to be faster though I would imagine. And obviously many, many of them.


Yeah, I don't know how practical or cost-effective it would be -- probably prototyping the mold with the printer and then using the mold to make multiple copies would be faster.


Sounds about right. I was not aware that silently reading only started recently.


I vaguely recall learning that in the past -- people read out loud even to themselves. Must've been annoying with multiple people trying to read.


Good way to learn how to remain undistracted


I don't think I could do it, LOL. I'm bad at multi-tasking. Welp, it's been nice talking to you!


Did you know that Lego's were invented in Denmark?  I loved to play with Legos as a kid.


Hello there, no I didn't know that, I used to as well.  I remember when we bought this giant mix carboard tub full of legos for $20, I was the happiest ever.


Do you prefer to build pre-designed Lego kits or to make up your own design?


I liked them both, but probably the own design since I didn't get a whole lot of new ones with the instructions. How about yourself?


I love to follow the directions of large assemblies, but they are too expensive to do very much.  But it is a fun thing to do with my nephew.


Yeah my nephews are into legos as well.  But actually they are all into Pokemon I guess.


I LOVE Pokemon.  We play all the time - cards, video game, Pokemon GO.  What sort of Pokemon do your nephews like to play?


They really like collecting the cards.  I guess it's all about opening new packs to see what you get, that is the most exciting.


That is a great part of it!  Have you ever played Pokemon GO on a phone?


No I haven't, but I can remember recently when that became a craze again. How about you?


It is a lot of fun! And so crazy to use the augmented reality feature and see the Pokemon "in real life".  Do you use any virtual reality types of gear?


No, I have tried it once, but I have a bit of a problem with motion sickness so I didn't care for it too much, how about you?


I can understand that.  We don't have any VR games, but I think that the "virtual" rides at amusement parks are pretty similar.  They use technology to move your seats and visually trick you into thinking that you're really moving.


Yeah I think you are right, I wonder if they have any VR experience for astronomy, like going out on the moon or something.


That sure would be a cheaper way to experience space travel, wouldn't it?  At least for tourists.


Yeah, imagine if they did had the technology to do a VR thing on other planets, like flying around Jupiter or something.


That would be awesome.  I wonder if we know enough about other planets through exploration and satallites to do an accurate job with VR, or whether it would all just be made up.


Yeah that's what I mean, it would be cool if they could make it accurate. Did you know Venus is the only planet that rotates clock-wise?


I read that. It is amazing how different from Earth even our closest planetary neighbors are.  Would you ever consider going to Mars?


Yeah that is very interesting as well.  No, I don't have any desire to travel that far, I'd take a vacation to Florida or something though.


That would be lovely.  Have a great day.


Hey how are you? Think it's time we get rid of those pesky royal families?


Yeah haha Do you like dogs?  I just found out they have 12 different blood types.


Dogs are the best thing ever, they're basically the modern wolves of today but a different, domensticated species. You have a dog?


Yes,  I do have a dog.  I agree,  best thing everrrr!  Dogs and elephants understand pointing.  Do you have any dogs?


I have a dog, they are the best thing ever. I wonder why dogs and elephants understand pointing over any other animal?


Good question i have no idea.  I recently found out dogs are not colorblind though.


For sure, they just don't see as many colors as us. Would you rather fight 10 dog sized elephants or 1 elephant sized dog?


Wow this turned into a "would you rather" game sweet lol I think I would go with 1 elephant sized dog,  how about you?  Those are both kinda scary though lol


I'm not sure, it'd be like fighting Clifford the big Red dog. I'm not sure, I would rather not fight a dog, they're so cool. Did you see the seahorse is the only fish with a neck?


So you would fight 10 elephants?  Elephants are cool too.  I figured I could just play with the dog so he or she forgets we are fighting hahaha  I did,  I love sea animals too really cool,  I wonder why they need a neck though.


I don't know if elephants can bite can they? It'd be a pretty funny battle in my opinion. An elephant sized dog that just wants to play and cuddle would be so much fun lol.


Right!  I dont think elephants bit,  but they are a power house when they start running,  even as a dog sized one lol


For sure, what about horses, Clint Eastwood was allergic to horses, that is his Gran Turino apparently.


That is interesting,  since hes in so many westerns.  Did you know theres a breed of jellyfish and lobster that is immortal?


I did not know that. I have another fight for you, 100 duck sized horses or 1 horse sized ducks, who would you rather fight?


100?  Geez,  lol I will still go with just the 1 horse sized duck.  I cant handle 100 lol


a 1500 pound duck would be so terrifying lol, the horse sized ducks would be rowdy but so cute lol


It would be adorable,  but im pretty sure I would lose either of those fights lol I might be able to run away from the horse sized duck because it waddles lol


I'd most definitely lose, especially if the horse was referred to as the Equus Ferus lol.


Can you imagine commuting on a horse,  some school kids took horses to school,  and got suspended lol


Oh man, it's probably better for the environment though right? Great chatting with you though, I hope you have a great rest of the night!


Hi, how are you tonight? Do you like animals?


Good. Yes I do. I always had pets. I had a seahorse in my tank growing up. Did you know it is the only fish that has  a neck.


You had a pet seahorse? Cool! Did you ever have a pet dog?


I did. I had quite a few. My girls have 2 cats now.


Did you know your dogs' blood types? Do most owners?


No but I did have a dalmatian named spot growing up. I was surprised to find out the reason they are associated with fireman was because they protect horses. Im not seeing the connection.


I think Dalmatians are often deaf, so they are not bothered by the sirens. In the old days they used horses, which would get spooked by the noise and flames, I guess.


And what is funny is Clint Eastwood who has done a million movies with horses became allergic to them later in life. I get it though my daughter got allergies at 18 from stuff she ate her whole life.


That's strange. i wonder what causes the body to do that. IDid you hear about the two high school students who rode their horses to school on 'no vehicles to school day'?


That must have made the school mad. Here in Florida people ride horses everywhere.


They don't spook around vehicles? That's good. You don't have a horse do you? Seems expensive.


No, but my daughter has a friend that has like 10 and it is very expensive.


No, that would be cool. I like that it takes about 6 years for them to turn completely white.


I guess those horses require special training. I've never seen them. I think they're in Austria.


I don't know. Did you know that the black swallower fish could eat prey twice its length and ten times its weight. It must have a big mouth.


And a gut that expands tremendously. After it eats, what does it do? Binge on Netflix?


Funny. I think its strange that Google prefers dogs to cats and they have it specifically written in their code of conduct. What if you do not like dogs can you not work for them?


Sure, just don't bring your cat! It must be tough if people are allergic to dogs.


Well, I enjoyed chatting with you! Have a good night!


It's just after the SEND button. It should become active after 10 turns.


How's it going, do you know there are over 1.5 million living animal species?


No, I didn't know that. This includes fish?


Yea, speaking of which hiccups are an evoulutionary holdover from when land animals had both lungs and gills


Interesting. I didn't know that. Do you think that is true?


It's possible, the 2 hypothesis are a holdover from having gills or something to do to help babies breath when they are nursing


Hmm, I'm not buying into it. Did you know that Germany gave animals constitutional rights?


No but that's pretty cool that Germany gave them some rights, animals do need to be protected from mistreatment in many situations


It's amazing how far they have come from the 1mb of ram that was able to run the space shuttle's computer


Yeah, that is pretty crazy, but perhaps the systems aren't all that complex.


I guess not, computer can be pretty simple like the won Russians invented that runs on water


Yeah, technically our power comes from water if you think about it.


Yea, I wonder if the transhumanists will succesfully upload their mind to computers one day


I wonder if minds uploaded to computers could be hacked


Yeah, that is an interesting question. Did you know that smoking near an apple computer voids its warranty?


No, sounds suspect that smoking would turn an apple computer into a biohazard


I wonder if the same policy is in place for iPhones?


It's possible, I know the iphones have moisture detectors in them, I wouldn't put it past apple to have some sort of smoke detector in there


Yeah, that is true. I forgot about that. I've actually dropped my phone in the sink, it still works. Well, nice chatting with you!


love them . do you know how many individual ones are out there?
