I didnt know that either, what movie is that the soundtrack off? do you know?


It's called O Brother Where Art Though. It's a pretty good movie with George Clooney.


Oh I see, did you watch the movie Tron Legacy, it also has a great soundtrack


It was a great movie, futuristic, theres a sequel thats also great,


That's good. Did you know two identical twins from Japan released a rap album when they turned 100 years old.


I didnt, that must be a cool album wonder if theres a video, I have to watch that


You should be able to find the video online.


Im going to search it in Youtube thats a sure thing, do you like Linkin Park?


I love the band as well, their album the Hybrid Theory is the best-selling album of the 21st century


Have you watched the movie Black Panther?


No, I haven't seen it. Have you seen it? Is it a good film?


I liked it a lot, I thought it had a great soundtrack as well. Most Marvel universe movies are pretty good


You know there was a time when Marvel offered the rights to their characters to Sony but they only bought the rights for Spiderman


Sony just didn't recognize the value of so many of the characters. The Marvel Universe is huge. It's interesting that Marvel trademarked the names "super-hero" and "super villain."


It is interesting, you know that there is also a shared hero between the DC and Marvel universes.


Many people have strong preferences about the two universes, but I don't. Usually I'm not big on superhero films, though I understand the attraction for comic book fans.


Im more of a Marvel fan myself, the brand saved a lot of money by alleging that mutants werent humans, I bet that idea made them millions.


Speaking of aliens, Michael Jackson tried to buy Marvel at one point so that he could produce a movie of himself as Spiderman.


That would be a horror movie indeed, it would ruin the childhood of many kids lol,its a good thing Marvel wasnt sold to him.


There have been many Spidermans, but Michael Jackson really would not be right for the role. Maybe he could have played Blue Ear, the character created for the 4-year-old boy uncomfortable with wearing hearing aids.


I think thats really admirable, creating a superhero for a kid with dissabilities, I wonder what new projects Disney has with Marvel


Probably a ton of sequels, maybe a new character. Black Panther could have a dozen sequels before Disney quits. Kendrick Lamar has job security.


Yeah, Black Panther was a really popular movie and I wouldnt be suprised if more sequels were to come out, so chaging the subject a bit, what kind of music do you like, heard any good albums lately?


I don't really listen to new music much. The industry has changed and so have tasts. I think bands have a tricky relationship with the rock press. Zeppelin did not give a name to their fourth album in order to confuse the press.


I bet that confused a lot of people lol, my favorite band is Linking Park and one of their albums is considered the best selling album of the century


I know that Linkin Park did a lot of touring. Very popular live band. They might have made more money from touring than album sales. I know that Aerosmith made more money from the game Guitar Hero than from album sales.


That is surprising! I wonder if the game paid extremely well or the band sign really bad deals for their albums.


They probably got a good royalty from the games company. Musicians probably get better money from games. Michael Jackson contributed to the soundtrack for Sonic 3.


I wonder what his contribution was, Spielberg also contributed in the soundtrack of Jaws, he played the clarinet!!


Hello, I am doing well thank you. How about you?


Yes I do like music, I like most kinds of music. What about you?


I like rock and jazz. I also like classical when I need to work. Did you know Steven Spielberg played the clarinet on Jaws?


Cool. How interesting, no I did not know that. Speaking of soundtracks, did you know that Phil Collins recorded the Tarzan soundtrack in 5 different languages.


Huh... Or the sound track of o brother where art thou was certified platinum 8 times over.


Wow, I don't think that I have seen that movie in entirety. Another weird fact, Daft Punk negotiated the Tron Legacy sound track during a pancake breakfast while wearing their robot helmets.


Seems like a logical thing to do. Like naming each track on batman begins as a genus of a bat.


Ha, interesting. What is your preferred format for music these days?


Same, here I don't recall the last time I bought a CD. I used to make mixes for the car pre MP3 jacks.


Mix tapes.... HA! Did you ever have the huge thing of CDs? LIke a case of 100 and you actually only listened to like 5?


Ha, i meant burned CD's. I think I had the adapter for CD's in my first car. Yes, like a 4 plus inch thick case full of CD's that weighed like 40 pounds.


HA! Now we have an unlimited library on our spotify or pandora account. I remember doing some serious work on my CDs to make sure I had the right mix.


I know right. Yes, before a trip I'd burn a new CD with all the best songs. What is your favorite CD?


I was an early fan of Dave Matthews so I wore out Under the table and dreaming.


I never really got into Dave Matthews. I liked the classics growing up I like Pink Floyd, probably Dark side of the Moon.


Nice! I love Floyd. I went on a binge yesterday and listened to division bell for about 4 hours.


Nice, even after 40 plus years Dark side of the moon is one of the best selling albums.


I am great! Thanks :) So do you like reading and going to the library? Half of Americans have library cards. I still go sometimes.


I don't go to the library much. I usually do research online. Still, there are more libraries than Mcdonald's in the US.


Yes, not a lot of people still go to the library much anymore, but I like to because they have actual books and I love books! In Sacramento you can go to one and check out sewing machines among other items, lol that is great


Yeah, other places have a similar setup. In Berkeley they have a tool library. Some folks can't afford tools, so they can borrow. Oh my GOD, socialism! Some folks need temporary help, and I don't mind if some of my tax dollars go to something like that.


I agree! I don't mind my tax dollars going towards helping people. I would like to write and publish a book, in Norway the government will buy 100 copies and send them to libraries throughout the country.


The Norway gov't has a ton of money from oil. I guess I would move there and become a children's author if it weren't for the cold and snow. Still, the women are inspirational.


Very true, it's a great idea and very valued there I am sure.


I like that a man falsely imprisoned  spent most of his time at the library to study law and prove his innocence. Books, man, they are SO powerful. Makes me wish I could read. But I'm illiterate.


I read about that, he was very smart to do what he did...self taught, wow and in law that must have been tough. But yes libraries are amazing, the books in print in your hand has great meaning for me, I like to collect books. You are illiterate?


I can't read even one word! It's a miracle that I can type the words that I do. How are about you? Are you literate? Did you learn to read at the library?


It's a noble pursuit. Learn to read, and you can teach yourself. Maybe you could even run for Congress one day.


Sorry that last text sent on accident lol...I learned to read in school. But did go the library a lot too. I am sure a lot of people teach themselves a lot through books on their own. Run for Congress? No way lol, I wouldn't do well in Congress and politics.


You couldn't do worse than the people in there. Plus you could ride on the exclusive subway lines that they have for Congress.


You are right on that! I wonder if their subway plays any music at all? Have been to any concerts lately?


Naw, concerts cost money and I'm broke, baby, I'm broke!


That's too bad, me too! I have been to concerts throughout my life though. Seen a lot of my favorite bands.


Have you seen Linkin Park? I heard really good things about their concerts.


I wish! One of the few bands I didn't get to see live, and now Chester Bennington has passed so I probably won't see the band without him. They played 324 concerts one year, that's a lot of shows.


Ah, the energy of youth! Maybe they didn't sleep? I don't know how they did that.


Well, the Ramones played 2,263 concerts over a 20 year span, non stop. I think they just make it their life. It has been great chatting! Have a great evening!!


The Ramones are fueled by drugs and passion. I could never manage to sustain that kind of energy. They are not human.


You have a point there, I know I couldn't do it!


hello! I'm good! How are you? Do you like comics?


Yeah, to some degree. I don't read many though.


I don't read many either but I do like Marvel.  Have you ever heard of Lady Killer?


Honestly, no I haven't. I've read more on the DC side of things


Really?  I heard recently that back in 1938 DC paid $130 dollars for the exclusive rights to superman.


Yeah, they've got their money's worth, that's for sure.


They definitely did!  I guess comics really got popular in the 1930s.


I would say a bit later, but they do call it the golden age for a reason.


I guess they do at that!  Did you know that Michael Jackson tried to buy Marvel so he could play spiderman in a movie?


I've heard rumors of it, but never if it was true or not. I do feel bad for him, he never really was a child.


I know.  With his popularity back then Marvel should have financed a movie with him in it. It probably would have been a blockbuster.


It would have been interesting, to say the least. I can see why they didn't want to risk Spiderman though, make him into a joke.


I suppose.  Are you interested in outerspace?


Yeah, I love space and science stuff. Big nerd. :)


What do you think about Jupiter saving us from asteroids?


I don't see a reason why it wouldn't be at least partly true. It's a big gravity well, protects us. As does the moon


I can see how it would stop some asteroids.  You know, on the subject of gravity, the hudson bay region in canada has less gravity than anywhere else on the planet.


Interesting, I wonder if its due to the density of rock below the bay or if there's something else going on


I don't know. Would rock density make a difference in some way?


Yeah, a great deal. Mass and gravity are intertwined.


I see.  That's interesting to think about.


HA! So I am guessing yes... Are you there just for this?


Yes and a few other things but this mainly. Libraries are awesome.


I agree. There's a library that offers sewing machine check out!


Wow that sounds pretty cool, better not drop it or you bought it though!.


HA! THere's also a library that loans out tools. Thats neat too.


Yeah i think that's a great ideal. Did you know the library of Alexandria has a copy of the internet.


Good, I really want them to keep a copy of this chat. I feel like great things are ahead!


Awe, lol! Hey if you publish a book in Norway the government will buy 1000 copies 1500 if it's a children's book.


We should publish this as a book and get some money from Norway. See the chat is getting monetary now!


That's what's up!! Why is Elmo testifying before the us congress? I know it sounds like the beginning of a joke but seriously.


Because Big Bird couldn't get throught the metal detector. She had bird flu.


Stop it!! Have you ever heard of Fantasy congress before? Apparently it's just like fantasy football.


I have not but I think that would be a good way to introduce civics in HS. everyone knows fantasy now-a-days.


Right!! There has been a Dem vs. /rep baseball game since 1909 and the Rep are winning by 3.


Do they let women play on the teams? The first one was in congress in 1916 and couldn't even vote!


That sounds like a slap in the face to me. Just her an Elmo hanging out with the gavel.


If it was post-nixon, you mean gavelS....


Right Tricky Dicks got a temper, always breaking stuff. Man Linkin Park played 324 concerts in 2001.


That's a lot of shows! Nice chatting with you!


Hello! Have you been to a library recently?


I have not, but I do walk by one everyday.  What about you?


With my daughter once in a while, though she goes to her school library more now. I understand Norway will buy 1000 copies of a published book and distribute to libraries.


That is awesome.  A new state of the art library was just built in my neighborhood.


It has a bunch of new technology in it, drones, coding equipment, etc.


Really? That's cool. I see sacramento CA also offers industrial items like sewing machines and other things like that, besides books.


cool.  They also have concerts there as well.


Very cool. Cultural experience at a library.


Sure. I have been to just a few, namely Foo Fighters, Snow Patrol, and Mumford and Sons. You?


I like concerts as well, been to more pop groups.  I also like going to summer concert series, kind of like a town hall meet up with a band in the summer


Sure, and better outside sometimes too. I forgot that I went to a festival near where I live for an outdoor flyleaf concert too.


I live in Washington DC, I hear about it all the time.  I follow it, but don't do rallies or anything.


Ah, I see that Elmo is the only non-human to testify before Congress... and probably did well


Hah.  I vote for midterms and national elections, but not much further involvement.


I sure do. It is the most popular one right now it seems


Yeah considering in the morning 33% of the bandwidth is taken up by them in NA


Yeah pretty crazy. Do you know who invented it?


A guy who got tired of paying late fees on VHSs and decided to start something new


I sued to before. Too bad they passed on buying netflix when they could


Exactly, could have spent $50 million and make billions now


Not a very smart business decisoon, bet they are kicking themselves about it


Yup. WIth youtube they make half of the peak internet usage in NA


That is crazy. And they spend 20 times more on postage still than on the bandwidth


One wonders, what are they shipping now that all is digital?


Yeah they are pretty cool. Their bricks are really consistent it seems , only 18 out of 1 million are defective


that makes for great quality and in turn for awesome business


pretty much. If all lego bricks available were shared among people everyone would get 86


Nice. A german artist once painted a bridge to make it look like it was made of lego


Neat. If workers word at their company for 25 years they would get a 14 karat gold lego


That us a sweet bonus, but then again t is also dedication


Yes,  love netflix.  Watching anything good?


I liked the Marvel shows, like luke cage, but they canceled those. You?


I have been watching the Marvel movies recently,  theres a lot on Netfllix right now.  I never watched luke cage though,  any good?  I watched jessica jones,  but didnt really like it too much.  I am currently watching the flash and catching up on the walking dead.


It was pretty good. They recently canceled those shows so I have lost all motivation to watch them. I do watch the flash though. I really like it. Do you also watch the arrow?


i watched like 2 seasons of the arrow,  but I dont like it much,  hes too dark,  he can never be happy.  I only kept watching is cuz felicity smoak is awesome!


Yeah I like her. Last season got of the rails a little and I completely understand your dark comment. It can get really dark. I find it entertaining though. What else do you watch?


I watch a lot of comedy stuff,  How i met your mother,  friends,  the good place,  the santa clarita diet, stuff like that,  easy stuff.  I do like a lot of drama though,  like westworld,  the handmaids tale etc.


Nice. How I met your mother was underrated. I really like westworld but I can get confused watching it. I watch a lot of live sports too.


Oh ok thats cool.  Yes,  westworld is confusing.    I really like some of the netflix originals too,  like black mirror and maniac.  have you watched those?


I tried watching black mirror but it was a little too weird for me. Never saw maniac. What's it about?


Maniac is confusing too lol I am not sure right now cuz I havent finished it.  Black mirror is really creepy but I find it entertaining because it has all to do with the bad places technology can take us.  Its trippy.


That stuff is pretty scary. Kinda makes me want to shut down my digital life and write letters again.


Yeah seriously,  but at the same time the show is enlightening,  kinda showing us what we dont want to happen with our future in techonology.


It doesn't help that companies continuously sell or lose our data...


yeah thats definitely upsetting,  they want us to always give info for "security" reasons then they get hacked or whatever,


Someone once told me if you did not buy a product, you are the product. I scoffed at them but now it makes so much sense.


When you buy a product, you get something in return. If you do not buy something, like facebook, youare the product. They are selling you to others through your data or ads.


i have not seen it yet, but i hear good things about it. you?


Yes,  it is a great movie.  Not really funny like the other marvel movies still good though.  Black panther is actually the richest super hero.


will he ever become prsident and be the richest president in history? maybe he should. when was the character created?


Why should he do that,  he owns a country and hes a super hero, no time to be president lol


well, he should at least test the waters. he has the cash to buy the whole congress.


Seems like more stress to me.  If you are already rich,  why not just enjoy life and vacation,  see the world,  live stress free!


yes, i guess he could kick back, but the world is in trouble and we need his help. Superheroes have no choice. they must help


True.  Are you a fan of the Marvel comics/movies?


i like marvel. i guess spiderman is my favorite.


Nice,  I really like Guardians of the Galaxy and Thor.


I havent seen GotG. it is kinda a comedy, right? sort of tongue in cheek?


Yeah,  really funny and a lot of action.


Hey, kids, get a load of the campy vomit scene? Right? Right? Ha ha! Oh, boy, that is a great exorcism!


So, what do we have here, albums and Drake. Albums? Drake? Albums. What is your favorite album?


I think my favorite album is Bryce Vine.  How about yourself?


I have been listening to Bill Evans a lot recently. He was a jazz pianist.


Ah interesting.  I think thats my favorite instument.  The piano.


Yes, give him a listen. Waltz for Debby. Start with that album. Anyway, great chat!


Hi there, I am well thank you.  Are you interested in astronomy?


I am! I think the whole universe is such a marvelous thing! how about you?


Yeah same here, I think it is all pretty amazing.


I would never want to be on that planet that has shards of glass traveling sideways at 4500 mph!


Holy cow, I wonder how they found that and then determined that is what happens there.


I was thinking the same thing. So crazy to believe there are that many planets out there! Even our planet is crazy!


Yeah it's crazy to think what is actually out there.  Even moons of planets can be pretty crazy.


I agree! Did you know if earth's history was view as a 24 hour period, humans would only take up 1 minutes and 17 seconds of it?


That makes you think how small we are in the grand scheme of time.


And in that time, we've managed to destroy 80 percent of the natural forests. So sad!


That is super sad, and that's not something that you can just fix very quickly as well.


I'm sure we'll always have a problem with trees. I know we are going to be helium free by the end of the 21st century so that is sad as well!


That is wild to think, I wonder what the balloon companies will do to survive?


I wonder that all the town, and clowns haha. I guess I could do without them lol.


Lol, did you know that when the earth was first formed the days were only 5.5 hours long?


Oh really? That is nuts! I don't think I would ever get a good sleep back in the day! I wonder how it got to be 24 hours and stay like it?


Well i don't think it's staying like it, but maybe i'm wrong, I think in another couple hundred thousand years the days will be a bit longer.


I think you're onto something! I wonder if I will ever be the UN ambassador to aliens?


Lol, I wonder how much that job pays, that sounds like a pretty sweet gig to me.


I think I'll look into it. It was nice chatting with you, have a good night!


Did you hear that a Super Earth may have been discovered?


Hi! Yes, I heard! It's mind blowing and extremely excited. I heard its unlike anything in our solar system!


Hmmm, I don't know, but I wonder too! I feel like there very well be something living there. Researchers say its larger than Earth but smaller than Neptune and far enough from the din. red sun and any water on its surface is locked away by ice... sounds like a Cold Planet...NO THANKS! Id consider Mars... haha


Well apparently it is near Proxima Centauri.


AND only 6 light years away from the sun...fun fact, this new Earth is TWICE as OLD as the sun! mind blown!


Wow! Apparently Peter Kamp thought years ago that star could host a planet.


They have been studying this since the 70's... Why are we hearing about this now?! These are exciting news!


Interesting. I'm not sure. Did you know the planet Venus does not tilt?


Interesting fact. I was not aware but I did learn that in 1975 the soviet union successfully sent a spacecraft to venus, which captures first images from the surface of ANOTHER planet! imagine THAT selfie!


Hilarious. Well apparently when the earth was formed a day was only 5.5 hours long.


and we think there isn't enough time in a day now, Wow. I wonder if we already called Earth Gaia at that time, or Tellus or telluris which is one of many Earth's names... um who came up with these names?! I am doing some research after this! fascinating.


I'm not sure. But Earth's interior core remains active with solid iron.


Solid Iron eh? well I'm glad! and Thank You Jupiter for saving Earth from many asteroids that head our way. Would you ever consider leaving the planet? There is an open space in Mars one apparently.


Yeah, apparently the solid iron is surrounded by a liquid outer core that generates Earth's magenetic field.


interesting, I imaginen it changes direction when Earth does? because it happens every 200,000-300,000 years.  Did you know that if you fit all the planets in between earth an the moon and still have room  left over to spare?


No, I didn't know that. Apparently the UN appointed an ambassador to aliens though, pretty wild stuff!


I knew it! haha, Im sure they know more than they lead on, I would LOVE to know though! i know most of the time is to avoid panic but wish i was in on the secrets imagine all the cool stuff they must find out about!


Yeah, it reminds me of that movie Independence Day. Hilarious!


yes, and it talks about it in a really good book its over 100 years old the book is called "Barron Trump, the marvelous underground adventures" something like that. It talks about our days today...pretty creepy right on. Did you know The term Robotics was accidentally coined by science fiction in 1941 by author issac asimov


Interesting. There's a wiki that ranks fictional characters as well. Nice meeting you!


I think it is a possibility...It a planet with the same distance and conditiions from its sun but it is frozen,


Did you know that the planet Venus does not tilt?


Yep, and it has not seasons either.  Just hot Im sure lol.


Nah it is super hot as the it is closer to the sun.  Earth is the 3rd planet from the sun


Earth is also the only astronomical object known to harbor life as well.


That we know of...need water for life and Earth has 71 percent covered.


It's sad to think that more than 80 percent of the Earth's natural forests have already been destroyed.


Yeah, we keep growing...we will need to find another planet to live on one day!


It will have to have a satellite or moon along with oceans


See you on another planet possibly haha.


I love music. I'm a professional guitarist. Though I'm nowhere close to being Brian May! Did you know he's also a physicist??


He started studying physics then joined a band. Bright guy. Youre a professional guitarist? Thats great!


Thanks! What type of music do you like? Any angsty Broadway musical numbers like Eddie Perfect wrote for Beetlejuice?


Eddie Perfect? Who is that? I have seen the movie Beetlejuice.


He was an Australian composer who ended up writing the music for the Broadway adaptation of the movie. Really interesting story there.


I did not know that. I guess he must have done other stuff as well.


Oh yeah. He also wrote songs for King Kong the musical! Can you imagine how weird that show must have been ha ha?


That sounds strange for a musical.  Do you like jazz much?


Jazz is my soul. I prefer bebop the most. I never really liked the cool jazz that came out in the 40s much. How about you?


I like Sonny Rollins and Bill Evans. By the way, Clint Eastwood is a lifelong jazz enthusiast, pianist, and scored several films, including Million dollar baby


You're right, he is! Crazy to think of a gruff Clint Eastwood sitting at a piano writing soft melodies ha ha.


Jazz is in the oddest places too. Pakistan has a jazz orchestra that is currently topping the charts.


It's crazy how culture spreads like that. I mean look at comedy. It goes all the way back to ancient Greece!


Comedy is fundamental to human existence. Did you know that jazz trumpeters grew goatees as it provided comfort when playing? I thought it was a fashion.


I've heard about that somewhere. It does make them look cool though. But what's cooler is that there's a whole programming language written in music. Crazy!


I wonder who uses that language. You know what else is crazy: A Harlem woman has held free jazz concerts at her apartment every Sunday for 20 years!


Yeah, she's awesome! I wonder if she ever went to see Beetlejuice. Apparently Eddie Perfect's music was a "perfect" fit for it. Excuse the bad pun ha ha.


You too brother. Keep on rocking in the free world. Peace!


Set the world ablaze like Eddie Van Halen did to his speakers. Adios.


Yes, he was involved in a musical version of Beetlejuice. Have you watched Beetlejuice?


I have but not in a long time. Scared the heck out of me when I first saw it. Have you seen it?


Oh, man! I was about to say that! I watched it when I was younger. I think it would still creep me out.


I know. Bill Murray thinks Kung Fu Hustle is the best comedy today. I think he may be pulling our leg...


I don't think I've watched that! I have watched Green Lantern. I did not know that originally that was supposed to be a Jack Black comedy!


I liked that movie but I know it can crushed. I thought it was fun. I also wasn't expecting much...


Did you ever watch 3rd rock from the sun?


I did. I loved that show. Hated French Stewart though...


Really? I never thought 3rd Rock was funny. I preferred Friends and Seinfeld, though I know 3rd rock beat them for the Golden Globe in 1997


I liked those shows too and they were better than 3rd rock. I did see friends the other day and it did not hold up. It was bad.


I did, when the show was Chapelle's show. Do you watch it?


I do not watch it. CN has had over 100 shows cancelled!


That seems like a lot. I wonder how many hetwork shows have had canceled?


I prefer to listen to music than to watch tv. Matthew Bellamy has the record for most smashed guitars on tour.


what a waste! I hope he has a guitar deal. Jazz trumpeters grew goatees for comfort...


Ah, always thought it was just the style. Did you know Queen's guitarist has a PhD in astrophysics? I guess he had a backup plan!


That's a pretty good backup plan! Eddie Van halen was on Beat it? I had no clue!


And he set the studio speakers on fire! Oops!


YouTube is an American video sharing website created the service in February 2005.


Yes, youtube is also more interesting than a republican party reptile.


YouTube is the second largest search engine used by many people. YouTube now operates as one of Google subsidiaries.


Will there ever be a merger between the continental congress where each of the 13 colonies is represented?


The Republican Party also referred as the GOP is one of the major political parties in United States, The party works on the ideology of anti-slavery activists and Economic reforming activities.


Hey, thats interesting.  Youtube was used by school shooter Nikolas Cruz.  So any platform can carry any message.


YouTube allows the user to upload, view and comments about the video. It is a platform to show our talent. Police actually have their own youtube called blutube, Where they can share about law enforcement videos.


Bluetube?  Never heard of it.  Youtube began as a dating website.  Is it possible that bluetube is about dating as well.


It is my understanding that the first upload to youtube was a guy talking about elephants.  Why would a guy talk about elephants on a dating web site.


Oh ! It is very interesting. YouTube and Netflix together create lot of internet traffics in the peak hours of North America. Many people are using it.


Yes, the growth has been amazing.  In 2007, youtube used as much bandwidth as the entire internet in 2000.


Yeah. Mostly teenager using the watching videos, songs in YouTube it make more internet traffic. Gangnam style got many views on the YouTube that they had to upgrade the view count integer to 64 bits. They are upgrading their technology for viewers.


I do enjoy Gangnam style.  I wonder, if google created a AI network to watch youtube videos, what would it learn?


So many fans for YouTube so only google take this decision.


I would bet that the fans of youtube, real or AI would learn to like CAT videos.  There are a lot of cat videos on the site.


If you were to relax and watch some video on youtube what would you pick?  I like to watch Bob Ross joy of painting.  That guy is happy little tree calm.


I wish to watch comedy scenes and cartoon videos also. It make me feel better.


Cartoon videos.  Is there a specific one?  Is bug bunny available.  Google bought youtube for $1.65 billion in 2006.  Cat videos must be worth something.


Tom and Jerry is all time favourite for me. It make out from my stress and feel better and happier. You have any favourite cartoon videos ?


Tom and Jerry are old school proper cartoons.  Animaniacs came in later.  Pinky and the Brain were funny.  Polka Dot?  I have never registered for youtube.


Today I surely watch this video thank you.


Ayn Rand is often referenced by the Simpsons.  Never thought of her as a poster woman for the tea party.  Good day!


I recently heard that there are three subway lines used exclusively for members of Congress to move between the Capitol building and their House or Senate office. Crazy!


I wonder if they have to wait as long as regular people do, or if the lines are ever down. LOL!


I would think they are running smoothly.


There is so much random information available these days. I recently heard that the first woman was elected to Congress in 1916 - before she could even vote in the election! We have come a long way!


yes women have overcome much in the past  hundred years.


Staying on the topic of random information. I just saw that when Harry Truman was president, he went to Disneyland. While there, he refused to have his picture taken on the Dumbo ride so he wouldn't be associated with Republicans. Truth is definitely stranger than fiction!


Related to Republicans, do you think Congress will take any action on gun control, now that the Houses are split? It will be interesting to see if the Democrat controlled House will have any pull.


They wont be able to get past the senate


Probably not. It seems that the GOP and the NRA are in lockstep.


True. And apparently legislation is the only way to accomplish real change. The Justice Department does not have the legal authority to do anything.


to get anything done on guns you will need three branches controlled by Democrats


Quite possibly. Meanwhile we continue to have mass shootings every couple of months. I'm not sure if the answer is gun control, mental health policy, or both, but we need to do something!


It wont get done anytime soon, unfortunately.


Probably not. At least not as long as we let the get away with stalling via "debate".  Apparently even the NRA is in favor of banning bump stocks, but we still can't get this through Congress. Sad state of affairs.


That's a whole other can of worms. LOL. PAC money and special interests have so much control. Foreign countries, too, apparently.


everyone has their hand in the cookie jar


Yeah, and nothing changes. Politicians sit around collecting pay checks, perks, and pensions, while spending tax payers' money. It's a very sad state of affairs.


People have to keep voting them out when they do the wrong thing


i do! every night before bed. How about you?


I use it quite a bit too, you can truly find anything in there.


There's something for everyone! It's a shock it began as a dating site


Really?!  That is kind of crazy.  I also remember when they used to restrict the time of videos to like 10 minutes.


Nowadays youd be hard pressed to find a good one that's less than that!


True, although Psy's Gangnam Style is pretty awesome, so good they had to up the integer counter on the video.


haha that video was such a hit when it came out! I was shocked it blew up so quickly. The song is kinda catchy though you have to admit.


It really.  You just have to dance when you hear it.


a song I dont like to dance to is Baby by Justin Bieber, the most disliked video on the entire site


I would agree with you there, it is a pretty annoying song.  I would have disliked it too.


I heard in 2007 youtube took up as much bandwidth as the entire internet in 2000. That's huge!


Wow!  It still makes up for half of the internet traffic, along with Netflix.


you should check out the 70 episodes of Joy of Painting that can be found on YouTube, you may learn a thing or two


I have a feeling hed tell me, happy little trees and not angry blobs.  lol


But I bet he would be very nice about it!


Probably, I love his stuff.  A local bar has a drunk painting class where you try to paint from one of his videos, while drinking.


that does sound fun! I think I'm going to go try that class out now. Thanks for chatting!


I do, Lets talk about Snakes , in New Zealand they do not have any snakes at all


No, but it is not surprising, it is a very isolated place.


There are snakes called flying snakes that are able to launch themselves at their prey


I dont believe they do. There are legless lizards , they are not snakes but lizards without limbs


THat's crazy. Apparently the fear of snakes is not hard wired.


I believe it is hard wired not only in humans but also in monkey's


I do, lets talk about that next , as of January 2018 they have more then 2.2 billion monthly active users


Hmmm, did you participate in the burger king promotion?


I did not , not sure why they wanted people to unfriend others


Yeah, it is a little weird. I remember that promotion. How much is a whopper? $1.00?


I dont know anymore. The public in Iceland are making suggestions and alterations to their Constitution via Facebook.


I wonder if that is going to go over really well or not.


Myspace had an option at one point to buy Facebook for 75 million in 2005


Yeah, probably for the best, they likely would have ruined it. LOL


Facebook;s minimum age to join is 13 for the most part but variations and local law sometimes effect that also.


Interesting, I didn't know that they have a minimum. Is that for the US? Nice chatting with you.


Zuckerburg suffers from red-green colorblindness that is why Facebook is mostly blue, nice chatting with you also


I've never heard that. That is pretty cool. So that's why it is blue and white. Does he know that?


I think he does, the like button is illegal in some areas in Germany. Nice chatting with you


Yes, I have two cats - a male and a female.  both black.  How about you?


Nope. not at the moment. Did you know that they cloned a cat.


Yeah.  I had heard about that.  They called it "copy cat."  :) But even if you clone a cat and it looks identical to the original, I wonder if its personality will be the same?


Im not sure. I know I am a twin which isnt really the same, but we have totally different personalities.


yeah...it's he old nature/nurture question, i guess.


There are more tigers living in as pets in the US than there are living in the wild in asia crazy huh.


Wow!  I didn't realize that.  Hard to believe, but we have been pretty destructive to the wild tiger population over the years!


Im just surprised that there are that many kept as pets.


I believe that there are certain areas of the world where that is more common than in others.  I saw a TV program on a rescue for big cats whose owners had tired of them.  or become afraid of them...


I dont think I would trust them enough to keep one as a pet. I have kids though.


oh well...then you are probably used to wild beasts ;)  Did you know Theodore Roosevelt had over 20 pets?  Including a bear and a heyena.


Yeah what could you do with a hyena. Lol. What a weird pet to have.


Did you know that its not legal in boulder CO to own pets.


I had heard something about that.  In some towns in California as well, i believge.  Ah well...owner/guardian, tomayto/tomahto...


Yeah I was thinking the same thing. I wonder if you get arrested if you say thats my dog. Lol.


I grew  up with dogs...Old English Sheepdogs, to be specific.  I love them too.  just can fit a big dog in a small apartment.


Same here I always had dogs growing up, but I live in a trailer so dont have much room either.


I like the big breeds - the closer they are to wolves, the better.


Yeah i like them to. Well you have a good evening.


Hello. Have you ever seen the movie Smallfoot? Apparently it's an animated fantasy about a Sasquatch type of character.


Awe, I have watched it a bunch of times with my kids. Its really cute and has Tatum Channing as a voice actor. When it's adult time I like to watch basketball though. I like King James.


Oh nice yeah I like basketball too. LeBron James is definitely the king. I can't wait to see him in the upcoming space jam movie.


Oh that will be fun, I remember MIchael Jordan in the first one, I think. James raised more than 6 million for charity in the past. Hes a great guy.


Yeah he raise that money by televising his decision on where he was going to play next. Pretty sure he did that.


Yeah, super cool. Its funny because Judge Judy is the second highest paid celebrity only to Lebron. She get s$123,000 per episode.


Well she makes a ton of money I have never actually watched her show. Even back in high school he drew a lot of attention to himself. Over 1000 people would attend his games.


Yeah, he even had his highschool games cost $120 bucks a ticket! I love Judge Judy, watch her all the time,lol.


Ha ha nice maybe I should watch it sometime. LeBron James even rejected $10 million from Reebok when he was only 18.


Yeah right! He was smart enough to see into the future and know he could get even more money. Since he gives to charity he has been blessed.


Yeah I think you are right. It was good he waited since he got way more from nike.


Yeah, exactly. I guess NIke gave him $90 million dollars! Thats crazy money.


Yeah he is definitely set for life. He is also an amazing basketball player and he recieved four NBA most valuable player awards.


Yep, very cool. I have been studying and trying to learn more about my computer lately and found out that if I smoke near it , it will void the warranty. Apple says it becomes biohazard. lol


Oh wow well I guess that makes sense. Apple seems to know their products quite well. Someone want to build a working 16 bit computer using nothing but the basic Minecraft building blocks. I wonder what that look like?


Oh man, I dont know. I heard that transhumanists want to upload their minds to computers and their memory onto memory sticks, sounds like a movie to me?


Yeah that sounds exactly like a sci-fi movie. In fact I think they made a black mirror episode about that. The space shuttles general purpose computer runs on about 1 MB of RAM. Doesn't seem like a lot.


Yes, that doesn't seem like anything at all really. We have come so far.


Agreed. The Russians have also made some advances themselves. In 1936 they made a computer that ran on water.


Yeah, water! Thats amazing. I learned that humans lost their body hair as recently as 240,000 years ago,  that reminds me I need to get ready for the gym. I wish I would lose all my hair and I could get ready quicker,lol.


Ha ha I couldn't even imagine having body hair all over my body like that, I'm glad we lost it back then. Apparently there is a sound frequency that causes fear in humans, but I don't know if I have ever heard it. Very nice chatting with you have a good day.


Migo is a funny yeti, fun movie by Warner Bros Pictures


I missed that movie.  I need to see if I can catch it. It sounds awesome!


It has great actors, well voices, Channing Tattun and James Corden are the voices of some of the characters


I heard there are some intellectual jokes in there that are fairly masked.


Yeah I cant recall any of them now but yeah, the movie had good punch lines, interesting plot, reviving Bigfoot


So is it about a Yeti searching for a Yeti?


Well in the movie Bigfoot, Sasquatch and the abominable snowman are real and they think we are a myth, so its the other way around for them


Ahh.  I missed that movie too.  lol  That makes sense.


Its a really funny movie,do you like LeBron James? I think he was also a part of the movie


Was he really?  That is cool. I hear he is going to star in the Space Jam sequel.


Yeah, he is, so it will not be his first film, I am excited about that Space Jam sequel,


I loved the one the MJ, I hope it can live up to the hype.


I hope that too, well Warner Bros is going to produce it so I bet its going to be good I wonder what othere players will be in the movie as well


Maybe Steph Curry?  He seems to be pretty popular on the basketball scene.


He is another popular player yeah and Cobey maybe even Jordan, he could make a guest appearance


I think it would be great if Jordan was in it too!


I know right, having Jordan in the game would attract many fans, well I know LeBron will, people are crazy about him


He has certainly done well for himself.  He has switched teams frequently, that has caused some problems for some fans.


He sure has, he is the highest paid celebrity right now, he sure earns a lot of money


Definitely, he even waited out a deal from Reebok for 10 mil, to get 90 mil from Nike within a year!


That was a smart move, he won a lot of money by doing that.


Yeah and there are blood drives for dogs


Yeah. DId you hear what they are doing in istanbul to feed the dogs?


Yes. They have a machine where you put plastic bottles in and it dispenses food and water.


Yeah pretty neat idea. Did you know dogs understand pointing?


Yes and the elephants can do the same actually


Yeah they are both very smart animals and understand a lot more too


Yes. DId you know Google is a dog company?


Yes they have it in their code of conduct


I have two dogs. Did you know they have 12 blood types?


Wow, nice. Did you know the first cloned cat was named Copycat?


Wow that is a very fitting name for that cat for sure


Yeah. THere are more tigers living as pets in the US than there are in Asia in the wild


That is pretty sad. Roosevelt had 20 pets including a bear and hyena.


Yeah and in Japan there are more pets than children under 15


No way. Do you know how many individual animals are out there?


Yes a number that I do not even know how many zeros is has, 20 quintillion


You are right it is a crazy number. Do you have a pet?


I do and did you hear they develop white patches when domesticated?


Sure! Gotta love a game where you get to use a bat!  Have you ever played?


I have played softball. I go to a lot of games. Very interesting a 17 year old female pitcher was banned from professional baseball.


Really? I wonder why? Was she a softball pitcher trying  to play baseball, or was she and overhand thrower?


No she struck out Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig in succession. Love the catching a ball in your hat deal!


Nice. If you can beat her, ban he from the game! In Canada, they callkickball by the name, Soccer-baseball. I wonder if that game is integrated?


I don't know, 160,000 is a lot of ball for a baseball season.


Yup. and 2430 is a lot of games for one married couple to schedule every year!


lol, yes it is. Wow, 9th century high heels were worn by persian cavalry soldiers.


Fashion trends come and go, but that is ridiculous! Were they endorsed by Stephon Marbury? He promoted those 15-dollar shoes which he was not paid to endorse, so, why not 9th-century high heals too?


ha ha ha, I know. Do you tie all of your shoes the same way since there are 17 ways?


I use Velcro, and fasten it the same way each time!  So, why is it that professional ballet dancers go through 4 pairs of ballet shoes every week, but you never see big endorsement deal for ballet. shoes?


That makes sense, must no money in it. I don't think I would want someone to break in my shoes for me like Queen Elizabeth.


I would let her break in my shoes, as long as she brings tea... You know, 5000 year old shoes designed perform better than modern shoes? They don't make them like they used to!


lol, just the thought of it. Interesting about the Vikings were war poets!


Poet warriors?  The pen is mightier than the sword, but a good poem will put all your opponents to sleep! There is a poem that, when read normally is depressing, but when read backwards is inspiring? How bad must a poem be to be improved by reading it backwards?


Really! Its not depressing to me. I love poetry!  Very interesting Art, music and poetry were once olympic sports!


Now the best poets are rap artists. You know, almost all of the Hobbit characters were taken from an old Icelandic poem?  Dvergatal. Say that ten times quickly!


Yes, I've heard of that before. Have you heard of the poem Chaos?


No. But did you know that if the Javanese alphabet is recited in order, it forms a poem?


Hi. Have you heard about paleo or gluten-free diets?


I have.  I have done a paleo diet a few times.  How about you?


Never tried, but heard that these diets may not be useful for children & teens (?)


It depends, I think they are sustainable if done correctly.  But it may deprive them of things they need to grow.


It is natural carbs, so no refined things or bread/wheat.  Carbs from fruit/nuts are ok.


Can you eat proteins, like meat/fish, that youth would need, too, for energy?


Yes.  It is a protein/veggie rich diet.  No dairy either.


Sounds like a diet some would try to lose weight. Are processed foods out, too?


All processed foods are out.  I have been successful with weight loss on it before.


Wonder if kids may end up eating more processed foods on a gluten-free diet. Could that happen?


Not usually, gluten free usually cuts out a lot of the processed foods, especially carbs.


Okay. How do you replace the fiber, iron, calcium?


A lot of those can be found in vegetables, and meats.  Paleo is essentially a if you could hunt or gather it you can eat it.


That's easier to understand. Meat, fresh fruit, veggies. Aren't there good - or slow - carbs in some veggies and fruits?


There are.  Most natural things have slow carbs so they dont spike blood sugars.


Right. Wouldn't this type of diet cut diabetes, especially teen diabetes?


It could sure help, the processed foods and sugars are what leads to weight gain and often diabetes.


I see. The old "Let them eat cake" poor advice. If kids cut out milk, what about bone growth?


I think it would be fine with a veggie rich diet, and with fruits.  There are ways to get nutrients other than just milk.


Do you wonder that too many kids are influenced by celebs like Miley Cyrus or Marie Osmond, who have promoted certain diets - for a fee?


I am not shocked many celebs will do anything for money.  Its a shame many of them dont actually sue the diet they promote.  Anyway, nice chatting!


What do you think of the Paleo diet for kids?


Hello! I think there should be some restrictions but not low carb if it's a good carb, Gluten free is good though I think.


yeah I don't think they necessarily need to be on a low carb diet.  Gluten free isn't bad if they have health reasons for needing to do that I suppose


I think kids tend to take diets to the extreme sometimes. Not good because they need balance since they are growing.


Yes, I believe we should focus on feeding them healthy whole grains, fruits and vegatables and that way they will grow to choose better choices


Yes. good carbs fuel the brain and give you energy which kids need a lot of. They need a vast variety of these vitamins and minerals.


You want them to appreciate food and healthy food choices so they won't have a unhealthy relationship with food when they are older.  If we are always having them on a diet as a kid then they might go crazy and make bad choices later on in life


Exactly, and with all the celebrity influence it's vital they learn from parents what a healthy way of life and eating is not just about your size and shape.


I agree.  speaking of celebrities..Robin Williams in Aladdin was the first actor to start the trend of celebrities performing voices in animated films


That's very interesting! Did you know Miley Cyrus' real name is Destiny Hope? I like that better.


yes that is actually really pretty.  She also has a nickname of "smiley""


Yes! That's why she goes by Miley lol very cute. Her Godmother is Dolly Parton too that's awesome.


That is pretty neat.  Her brother is also famous.  He is the lead guitarist and backing vocal in metro stataion


Wow, that family is talented for sure! Her Dad Billy Ray has been very famous as well but I haven't heard about him in awhile.


yeah they starred in the Disney Channel show Hannah Montana


I know and it seems so many of today's talent has come from being in t.v shows. and many from the Disney channel.


I know thats true.  She was also in a film called Big Fish


Was she? I didn't know that. It's crazy that her hit Wrecking Ball was co written by 5 different people. She has had many hits.


Also party in the USA was originally written by Jessie J and intended for Jessie J


Right? It's funny how things work out. Just like Eminem originally was going to be a comic book artist....I am sure he's happy now that he followed his  alternate dream


in 2001 a michigan judge delivered her ruling in the form of a rap when trying a suit filed against him


Really? haha, I would have liked to have heard that! Eminem has had an amazing career. Tupac has music is in the library of congress.


yes that had to be funny.  Korean rappers invented a new type of freestyle, it called "compliment battle"


That would be cool to watch. So many different styles these days! It has been great chatting with you!


Good morning! Do you ever shop on Amazon?


Yes, I love it!  It was founded by Jeff Bezos on July 5, 1994


Hard to believe it's been around so long! For some reason it feels new to me.  You know it started out as just a bookstore?


Really thats interesting.  The first customer spent $27.95 and got a building named after him.


He's a lucky man! And a smart one for buying from what was an unknown company at the time that turned in to the powerhouse it is today.


did you know that the United States Postal Service has a contract with amazon to deliver packages on Sunday


I did know that and to me, it just says exactly how powerful amazon is.  As far as I know, they are the only company that has that contract.


I think so.  I also saw that the workers for Amazons warehouse walk b/t 7 and 15 miles each dday


Well that's a good thing. It's a great way to get exercise and make money at the same time!


LOL exactly.  Did you know that Amazon passed up Walmart as the most valuable retailer in the United States


I believe it. I shop at Walmart but I like to shop online.  Truth is, Amazon ships UPS and Walmart doesn't.  Amazon gets stuff to you in a day or so.  Walmart doesn't do that either.


Exactly I prefer Amazon.  I just do Walmart for groceries.  I saw that Amazon is the third most valuable public company in the United States.


I guess that Google and Facebook are probably the top two.  Amazon might just move up though. They've got their own film and tv studio now.


Actually I read that they are behind Apple and Microsoft.


Really?  Well I'm wrong lol!  Well still, they might move up anyways!


Yes, they might.  They are the largest internet company by revenue in the world


And right behind Alibaba in total sales.  I wonder if that's due to the population size of China.


It might be.  I also saw that after Walmart they are the largest employer in the United States.


What do you think about the cashless stores they are starting up?


Well I guess most people dont carry cash so it makes sense.  I was reading that IMBD has been owned by Amazon since 1998.  I didn't know that


I didn't know that either.  Sounds like amazon got into expanding early on. They were only a 4 year old business when they did that.  Well, I've got to go for a bit.  It's been nice chatting with you!  Have a great day!


Oh, sure. I heard his daughters got thrown a Barbie party. I wonder if his kids know what he does for a living.


Yeah, apparently he was a drug king pin.


I know his older kids know, as some of them were involved with him, but I always wondered about children of drug king pins and mafia members, etc. His twins are only seven years old.


Yeah, pretty interesting. I think he was found guilty recently wasn't he?


I have not heard. There is outrage because his wife is hosting parties with alleged drug money.


I believe it. It is hard to prove that it is actual drug money likely though.


Yeah, it is hard to prove. He (do I have to say allegedly since you say he was convicted?) ran a billion dollar narcotics empire and actually controlled the American illegal drug supply. There were a lot of dead bodies.


Probably, it reminds me of Pablo Escobar. Same type of deal. Bad dude.s


I heard the government has failed to pocket any of Chapo's gains.


It wouldn't surprise me. Did you know that a 2012 study concluded that Pop Music has grown louder?


Louder and more homogeneous. I'd say more hideous haha.


Interesting. Did you know Warner Bros signed a deal with King James for Space Jam.


Cool. I look forward to seeing it. Lebron doesn't only make money for himself, he raises millions for charity.


Yeah, he's a great player, but I wish he would have stayed with his original team.


He kind of always knew how good he was. He rejected a $10 million dollar offer from Reebok because he thought he could do better. He was right. A year later he got a $90 million offer from Nike.


WOW, but typically Reebok isn't the way to go if you ask me.


Ha, from a business standpoint or style? I really don't like those shoes!


Both, LOL! Did you know Judge Judy makes $123,000 per episode? That is insane!


Haha, that is pretty awesome! Is she really the highest paid celeb after Lebron?


I think so, that is surprising to me. Well, nice chatting with you.


I honestly think he's a snitch when a person goes to court they have to agree on their legal defense's strategy. HE chose to point out he wasnt the true leader of the group instead he pointed at a man who is 70 years old an has never been caught before names Ismael mayo zambada.


Snitches get killed terribly, so I unless he isnt afraid, he committed a lot of crimes, he is a smart man though,


He is very smart indeed. But I think mayo is smarter he didn't get caught trying to film a dumb movie about his life with sean penn after escaping and he made it to the old age of 70 years old by flying under the radar.


I  guess he is smarter than El Chapo, still escaping like two prisons in the way he did, being the leader of the cartel after being only a poor farmer


He never was the actual leader... This is how he snitched he pointed out the old man as the true leader. Chapo wouldn't have tarnished his legacy if he would have just chose to remain quiet and loyal to end and not snitch. This is what makes pablo escobar a much bigger figure since he was never actually caught he only turned himself in to his own prison he built. They had to kill pablo to catch him.


He was not? I must have my facts wrong then, maybe he pointed the old man because he wanted to divert attention away from him, and yeah Pablo made a similar mistake, he wanted a political career and that was the beginning of the end for him


If you have time watch the documentary on chapo's life on netflix you'll understand alot more. And watch the newest season of narcos they show that chapo was from the younger generation he started out working under the old mustaches


I guess I will watch it now, its an interesting story, has changed a lot of thins, it seems like El Chapo is not a violent person, he never said a bad word or acted violent according to Coronel


Maybe he knew that violence only brought more problems so he only used it as a tool when it was necessary to defend himself


Yeah he does seem like a quiet person, do you follow the government much?


Yup I'm constantly on google news looking at whats happening in the government daily


I think its important to keep up with the news, you know that 86% of the land in Nevada is owned by the government!


So do you think most of the city of las vegas is probably government owned too?


I dont think so, that is mostly private companies but who know I might have to Google that, maybe the own everything but Vegas lol


It would make so much sense they are just taking in all that casino money lol


It would, the government should donate more money to important causes then, just like the Norwegian government the donated $1 billion to save the rainforests


We definitely need something like that especially since our current idiot president doesnt even believe that climate change is real


Yeah he should take a look at the glaciers, did you hear about the plan the government had to destroy Wikileaks, ironic


They can plan as much as they want lol wikileaks will never go down there are already back ups of the site in different countries in case something happens it will go right back up from a server in some remote island lol


They must be a pain in the government ass lol, I think its a great service, why hide the truth, the truth will always come out.


Hi! Don't youjust love the government? LOL


hi how are you? "love" um that is not the word i would use. the govt tests my patience. LOL


Whatever could you mean? Don't you just love their decisions, like choosing to own 86% of Nevada? How could yo question their common sense?


I wonder what the govt does on that land. alien landing sites? secret experiments?


All good reasons to devote our national resources!  Perhapws your opinion of givernment officials is somewhat jaded by the imposters out there, selling the Eiffel Tower and such... But not all government is inept...yet....


I want to meet the guy that sold the eiffel tower. i want to meet the people he sold it to.


Right?!  What kind of a box do you think they will need to carry home that purchase?  We, I for one am encouraged by the actions of some governments, like the Norwegian gov, who donated $1 billion to save the rain forests!  I think they plan to put it in millions of small Ziplac freezer bags where it can stay frssh onger!


LOL. yes, norway makes a lot of money from oil. i think they are worried about its impact on the environment. it is a rich country too


Greedy, oil-crazed governments...no wonder WikiLeaks is paranoid!  They have published the government's plans to destroy WikiLeaks. I am comforted by that. Not that we know it is a governmental priority, we know it will never happen!


I dont know what to expect from govt at this point. there is so much money in there, it no longer seems like a govt for people like me.


Don't be fearful little one!  LeBron James is here to protect us...right after he finished up promoting Space Jam!


Space jam? another space jam movie? well, i guess people want to see lebron in a movie.


People will pay money watch Lebron clean his nostrils.  Some of his High School games were sold out 1750 capacity evens running at $100-150 per seat.  Yes, there is an audience for him...


LOL true. they love anything he does. and who got the money for those tickets? lebron? i doubt it.


At least on occasion money finds it's way to the needy. LeBron televised his "decision" and gave the $6 million raised to charity.


he has been quite generous off the court. he donated money to help kids go to college too.


Nice. Maybe he uses some of that $90 milion he got from Nike to do some good in the world?


yeah, a lot of the players dont do that. they blow their money and often end up broke after they retire. it is sad.


It is. And then, before too long, the appear before Judge Judy, the second hiohest paid celebrity, behind LeBron, and get to tell their sad stories to the world.


True LOL. Anyway, great chat! see you on judge judy!


No if I see you first!  I am going to watch old videos of Ricky Gervais as a pop singer... Now that's entertainment!


LOL. yes, i should watch myself. i could easily end up on JJ. Have a good day!


I'll leave you with this: Scientists have voted that "We are the Champions" is the most catchiest pop song of all time. Nerds would know!


I do. He has some great music and was a great entertainer.


Someone is putting on his music cabaret style to showcase his music.


I'm sure some people will like it and others won't. Either way, it will help his songs stay alive and showcase how truly original he was.


Yes.  They claim that there is a rawness to his music that really hits home.  Several of his songs are like that to me.


The mix of the songs make it that way I think...country, gospel, blues. All different in a way but pretty cool when put together.


That makes sense.  I never thought of it before, but his blues songs were not pessimistic.


I didn't know that he did not write many of his songs. He only took the songs and changed the arrangements to his liking.


But either he or the Colonel picked some that are just right.  For others it would be fatalism, but he made the Heartbreak Hotel sound like a place I would want to visit.


I agree. His originality and unrestricted way of singing and performing definitely made him the best.


He accused someone of being nothing but a Hound Dog.  Did you know dogs have 12 different blood types and can donate blood at blood drives?


Uh, I did not know that. For real? I mean I know they are man's best friend but....


Some people will spend on their pets.  Dogs and elephants are the only animals that instinctively understand pointing.  If an elephant every charges you, point in another direction!


I didn't realize they were super intelligent. They can learn over 1,000 words and reason better than chimpanzees. Crazy, right?


That's a lot of words.  I have seen smart dogs, but not one that had been that trained.  Google prefers dogs to cats and states in their code of conduct that they are a dog company


That's cool. Cats are so temperamental. Did you know dogs drink with the underside of their tongues?


No.  I did not know that.  I once read that cattle do not bit grass but wrap their tongue around it and pull on it.  Dogs also cannot see as many colors as humans do.


I am glad dogs and humans associate well together. Dogs are very helpful to us in so many ways and to so many types of people. I really appreciate their care for the disabled.


Also, how they help law enforcement specifically and are even given titles just like human officers.


I hit the wrong key last time.  Sorry.  I was going to say That's why they are called "Man's best friend"  Thanks for carrying on!


I figured that! Maybe I should get a dog. Nice chatting!


I have had a couple and really enjoyed them.  Likewise!


It's interesting how sometimes Americans joke about moving to Canada due to our politics, yet sometimes Canada's politics make just as much sense as ours


Canada has many politics, but probably not as many as the US. The US has too many politics. What is climate change anyhow?


Climate change is the more updated term for what used to be called "global warming." Canada is starting to put policies into place that they believe will help with the said issue, but most aren't sure why, it seems


I guess it's tricky. I would like to see some progress, but people seem reluctant to change. Plus, will it raise taxes?


It raises tax on anything that produces carbon, in most cases. Which includes gas, of course


In 1975 the Soviet Union successfully sent a spacecraft to Venus, and captured the first images from the surface of another planet. Did the colonists survive? Is there a secret base on Venus? Do they have to worry about climate change there? Maybe we should communicate with them about carbon taxes.


I'm not sure, because Venus doesn't experience seasons due to the lack of tilt in the axis. It also rotates clockwise, which might affect some things. I think seasons are what make people paranoid about climate change


Maybe we should outlaw seasons. Canadia has a prime minister, right? Could we talk to the PM?


I think so. It's a strange setup. Seasons aren't something that can be outlawed, but rather something that occurs naturally. I can't imagine what it would be like living on Uranus. It actually rotates sideways and looks like it's spinning compared to other planets


I just found out that the Canadian PM serves at her majesty's pleasure, so the post does not have a fixed term. In a survey, 51% thought the prime minister was directly elected by Canadians. I wonder if the Queen has ever ejected a prime minister from the game of thrones. Can the Queen do something about seasons and climate change? She might be busy though.


It is a strange position, indeed. The Queen is old enough to know whether our current weather is actually a problem that needs to be addressed or rather a natural cycle, right? I wonder if the same applies to the PM of Australia. Technically, the position isn't even in their constitution, but they were owned by England


I dream of moving to Uranus to get away from these sorts of politics here. But the Internet connection is probably slow. Plus climate change would follow me there, I suppose.  Does Australia have climate? Do they have Internet?


Everywhere has a climate of some sort, but some are milder than others. And of course Australia has the internet. If you move to Japan instead, you'll get a silver cup from the PM there if you make to 100


Is there a connection between climate change and Internet? The Chinese government has censored the word 'censorship.' Could they censor "Climate change" well and be done with that? Could the Japanese invent a clever device to make climate change less expensive or faster?


None of these governments can actually control the weather. Well, they do try. Like how the Norwegian government donated money to help save the rainforest in the Amazon. But that's less climate change and more man using natural resources


The Norwegians probably bought a bunch of snow and shipped it down to the rainforest to cool things off. Thoughtful, but ultimately futile.


They don't have to buy snow. They could just ship the snow they already get. I wonder if it's actually possible to buy the Eiffel Tower. There was a man who managed to sell it twice by impersonating a government official, but it may not even be a good investment


The Eiffel Tower is romantic but does not have enough parking. Did you know that Andrew Bonar Law is the only person from outside the UK to ever become the prime minister of the UK? Why did his parents saddle him with such an awkward middle name?


Maybe it's French? Of course the British wouldn't make it a requirement to be born there, unlike Americans. You can't be President unless you were born on US soil


What if you were born on the moon? That would be unfair. What if the moon were right over the US at the moment of your birth?


What if you were born on Jupiter's moon Ganymede? It's not technically a planet, but it's big enough to be if it decides to orbit around the sun instead. Oh, the things we may never know


I am enjoying my location on planet earth. You?


my location is pretty good. happy to still be on this planet. its a good planet, i think.


As far as astronomical bodies is concerned, it is a good one. Not like the ones that are too small to allow their own gravity to round them out!


cubic planets look cool but they really are not fun to live on. plus they dont hold their value in the real estate market. What is up with uranus though? Uranus actually rotates sideways and "rolls" around the sun rather than spinning like the other planets.


Don't you get embarrassed when someone talks about Uranus? I do. Some consider planets as divine emissaries of the deities. Pretty cool.


i would think that uranus is the source of many things. i do not see divine emissaries emerging from it though.


The planet Venus doesn't tilt. What's up with that?  I say, come on Venus, live a little!


venus already suffers a terrible reputation. better to stay on the straight and narrow. the word venerial comes from venus. living a little has gotten venus in trouble.


Yeah, but even Jupiter has a moon on the side--a big one named Ganymede--and she is not even a planet!


that uppity ganymede has gotten too big for its britches. there is a place for everything and ganymede has its place.


Of course, some planets you do not want to cross paths with.  Like that one that rains shards of glass down at about 4500 mph in 2000 degree heat!  Now that is jealous fury!


that is a planet in need of therapy. maybe an intervention? why all the noise and rage? it does not change anything but it does get you some attention.


Well, insecurity can cause a lot of personality complications. Some celestial bodies are not even recognized as planets, and that can leave a chip on one's shoulder...


so many of these so-called planets do not deserve the distinction. when they make their linkedin page, they bandy about the term planet pretty freely, its boastful.


True, but self-image is important to self esteem. Think of poor Pluto. Once considered a plant, and now completely disrespected. I think it is becuase of his/her status as a trans-neptunian object. Am I wrong?


pluto never understood interplanetary politics. there is a whole game to play. you gotta know the right people. it is not plutos fault. so far away. its not fair.


Maybe if Pluto bands together with former planets like Ceres, Pallas, Vesta and Juno, then they can find power in numbers? If they play it right, they could band together with the Kuiper belt and not even be considerd a minority anymore!


in the celestial game of thrones, pluto would have to become a tyrion lannister. not an easy thing for one so small and distant. then again, pluto has money.


Much care must be taken, lest a heavenly battle ensue.  And in such a war, planetary mass can make all the difference.


we can promise a promotion to full planetary status to ganymede, who is too stupid to know that cant possibly happen. anyway, great chat!


The dog is domestic animals which is long associated with human. Which is helpful in many way to safeguard their place and cattles.


Good morning.  How true.  Do you own a dog?


Have a great day. Yes, two dogs. What about you?


I have 4 dogs, but I live in the country, so they have lots of land to run and play.


Its very interesting. The dog population is estimated around 900 million and keep increasingly around the world. They are help to human in many ways.


Yes, they do help humans and that's alot of dogs, for sure.  I hear in Istanbul they have a system for their stray dogs to get food and water in exchange for recycled plastic bottles.  That's so cool!


The Domestic dog are mostly carnivore, some of them are omnivore. They are used for hunting and rearing cattle.


Yeah, I would agree about the omnivore part, my lab will eat almost anything.  Shoes, newspapers, etc.  I think she could probably even eat a can if I gave her one!


Dog are not colour blind but they can see limited colour only they have colour blindness like humans.


That's interesting to know! I always wondered that about my dogs.  I wonder what my dogs' favorite color is now?


It is very interesting. Do you play any musical instrument ?


Guitar is a type of chordophone, which is made up of wood string are made up nylon.


I guess that is one description for a guitar. lol I've played since I was a child and I'm no Eddie Van Halen, but I'm a pretty good player.  Do you play?


Electric guitar was introduced in 1930, use an amplifier and speaker to produce the sound to make the audience to hear.


Yeah, that's what Eddie Van Halen was playing when he set the speakers on fire when recording his solo for Michael Jackson's song, "Beat it".


Pink floyd guitarist turned a "grand houseboat" on the river thames.


No, I see it in musical shop only. Do you have it.


No, I never learned to play piano.  But, I would like to learn.


Cool, I don't think I have ever heard of that type of piano, before. Did you know the Hindenburg had an aluminum piano?


Somewhat. Digital piano don't have any strings or hammer. They use digital sampling technology through which the sound is produced it is very accurate.


How interesting.  Well it's been nice chatting with you.  I hope you enjoy the rest of your day.


I always use my computer, maybe too much.


yeah me too i think. the space shuttle uses one that runs on one mb of ram


In the 80s, 1 mb ram was really big. It would be the equivalent of 10 Gb of ram today.


yeah. did you know russians make a computer that runs on water


It is probably to cool them, they always produced a lot of heat even in the times of Ada Lovelace, the first programmer.


yeah that is true. did you know transhumans are trying to upload their minds to the commuter?


I would not surprised that it is a Google project, it is so big now.


yeah, we will have to wait and see I guess. do you have an apple or a PC?


I have an apple. Good thing I do not smoke otherwise I can void its warranty


Why would it void the warranty ? Computers don't have lungs.


I am assuming it is because it is a fire hazard


Are you sure ? Computers don't burn easily,  they are made to be hot because they consume so much power, Google uses 0.01 % of all worldwide electricity.


yeah that is amazing. a single google search also requires more computing power than sending armstrong ad other astronauts to the moon


They had weak computers at the time, but google has a good sense of humor about the moon, in the early versions of Google Moon,  pictures of cheese were used when you zoomed at the maximum.


haha that is funny. do you know how they calculate traffic?


No idea, they go outside and check for cars ?


actually they track android devices and see how fast they are moving


That is smart, but it is expected for a company founded by PhD. students.


I do.  I love technology.  I would love to work for google.


That would me amazing. YOu can maybe even play with the goats they hire to graze the grass


I am not so sure about being referred to as a noogler and wearing a beanie cap!


Hahaha. Apparently a single google search uses more computing power than sending Armstrong and 11 others to the moon


That is absolutely crazy.  I guess that is why google's data center uses about .01% of all total worldwide electricity


It would explain a lot. It once went down for about 5 minutes. Imagine if that was longer?


I love the fact that g-mail used to be a free email server on Garfield's website


Oh that is funny. Interesting thing about the borders and google maps too, adjusting them to what each country says


I did not know that.  Computers are amazing things and it is crazy to think about how much they have evolved since the 60s.


Yeah. the computer in charge of the space shuttle has a ram of only 1mb


Right  and now everything from a microwave oven to a remote control has a computer in it!


exactly. someone even built a 16-bit computer using only minecraft building blocks


And the first computer algorithm was written by a woman named Ada Lovelace.   She had a programming language named after her


It is said we do not know more about these people who built the foundations of important things


Absolutely. I love the fact that the first google computer at Stanford had enclosures made of Legos!


We have come so far from those days. Do you have much interest in the galaxy?


I do find stars interesting.  It is fascinating to consider stuff from outer space


Venus is the only planet that does not tilt to it is stuck with only one season all the time


Wow that is interesting.  I knew the Soviet Union sent a spacecraft to Venus in 1975


So much cool stuff. It was nice chatting with you.


Are you a fan of baseball by any chance?


Yes I watch baseball from time to time. It's interesting how both teams take turns batting and Fielding


It is. Do you happen to know why baseball managers wear uniforms?


Yes I do, I think it's because they can actually play in the game if necessary right? Did you know that a seventeen-year-old actually struck out Babe Ruth? I wonder what became of her


Yes it is. I did not know that. That's very impressive.


There is a rule in baseball I'd never heard about though, have you heard about what happens if a player catches a baseball in their hat?


Yes if you catch the ball in your hat then you will get three bases actually, that's actually really good they should try that more often in games


I had no idea. Did you also know that baseball in insanely popular in Japan?


I did know that I think that the stadiums are a lot more fun in Japan as well, what do you think about the Chicago Cubs by the way? They actually won the first World Series back to back


It's so popular that they are shocked that it's America's past time. They had a very long lull after that until recently.


Yeah that makes sense. Did you hear about the fact that the MLB will typically use about 160,000 baseball's a year


I did not. I knew it had to be a lot but I would not have guessed that high. Do you know the alternate name for kickball in Canada?


Isn't it called soccer baseball LOL that's a really dumb name. on a different note though do you ever watch the news


It is. I do watch the news sometimes but I get more of my news from newspaper apps.


Yeah I mostly get my news online too. But it is funny to me that the Simpsons was making fun of Fox News so then they were going to sue them LOL


Wow! That's ridiculous. They would never be successful with parody laws anyway.


No I don't think so. But what is also interesting is that Fox News tried to make a conservative Daily Show television show, but it was cancelled after only 13 episodes


They certainly are not known for their comedy so I am not surprised. Did you know that it was created by Republican media strategist Richard Ailes and Richard Nixon?!


No I didn't know that. Did you also know that the median age of viewers for Fox News is 68, that is pretty old


I'm not surprised by that either. Especially when I see who is posting things they would do on Facebook.


i use google most of the time and very rarely use bing.  Do you use them?  Hey, did you know google was founded back in 1998?


Google sure has come a long way as a company that specializes in internet related services and products, they even dabble in self driving cars now


They really have.  I heard they use android devices for the google maps to calculate traffic. They track how fast phones are moving.  This really surprised me for some reason. I guess I just thought they had a satellite in orbit watching roads lol.


I mean google often goes the extra mile. A single google search uses more computing that it did to send men to the moon!


I'm going to think about that every time I google a recipe!  So many people use google nowadays.  It went down once and took down 40% of web traffic with it.


They also tailor google maps to the claims of the respective country. Way to go the extra mile


They do it based on where the internet browser is located and knowing the country's border claims


Really?  That is going the extra mile.  Speaking of going the extra mile, I do know that Google used goats to mow their lawns in order to help the planet.


I bet that doubles down to fertilize the grass too lol


I bet it does too!  I like pro environment activity.  I am really not a big fan of apple but they do consider smoking near their products a biozard and make it void the warranty.


True. In any case, what kinds of things do you search on google?


Oh recipe ideas and gardening ideas. i also search about space.  i found out that Jupiter has a moon that is large enough to be a planet.  What do you search?


Do you enjoy looking up information about planets? Did you know Uranus rolls around the sun rather than spinning like other planets?


I do and I do know that.  It's crazy and funny when you think about how it must look.  Uranus has more character than Venus.  It doesn't tilt so it doesn't have any seasons.


Well that doesn't sound as bad as the planet that has shards of glass precipitating sideways at 4500 mph


True.  You know I feel sorry for Pluto.  I still think of it as a planet even though scientists changed their minds and said it's not.


Well even the definition of planets is subjective so perhaps pluto maybe a planet once more.


It does seem odd the way planets are chosen. They are chosen based on where and what they orbit.


True. In any case, thank you for the enjoyable and informative chat. I hope pluto become a planet again since I miss making a solar system without that small ping pong ball


I hope it does too as well as Ceres and Pallas. They too were once planets and now not.


I do have an account but I do not use it too much anymore. How about you?


I have an account as well and use it ever week, so a bit more frequently, Facebook is now worth $104 billion


I wonder if there will be any major changes after all of the privacy and data usage issues came to light.


I have no idea about that what I can tell you is that Facebook is blue because the creater suffers from color blindness


That's interesting, I never would have guessed that just based on the color scheme.


It is interesting and I know right, I thought it was blue because it was an strategy or a psychological thing to lure subscribers, turns out the answer is a lot more simpler


Yes I always seem to dig into deeper meaning that the real answer.


Did you hear about that promotion Burger King had? the one involving the free whopper and Facebook


Yes I remember that coming up! I seriously considered unfriending people but there isn't a Burger King close by me.


Thats too bad I unfriended some and ate my free whoppers, easier meal ive ever gotten, Facebook has such an impact, even on other countires


I've never talked to anyone who got the free whoppers, I applaud your decision. I think it was a great marketing campaign since people still talk about it.


I think it was as well, Iceland is rewritting their constitution via Facebook, maybe Burger King can stop that by bringing their free whoppers promotion over there


I wonder if they even have a Burger King, I'm sure they do but it's not a very large country and I feel like they are pretty health conscious from my research into traveling there.


You traveled to Iceland? it must be a really nice country and yeah Burger King isnt a healthy choice so maybe they dont have one, they sure have Facebook accounts and place a lot of value on them


I have not made it there yet but I have been exploring it. I recently booked a trip to Paris, Amsterdam, and London.


I have begun to really make it a priority. There are so many places I want to visit.


I love to travel as well, the world is a big place with a lot of places to visit but changing the subject, theres a funny fact about Elmo, do you  want to know what it is?


Well he is the only non human to ever testify before the US congress, I think thats really funny, how can that be


Do you follow tennis much, or have a interest in the game?


Hello there, I don't follow too much but think it is a very exciting sport.  How about you?


I have a passing knowledge and know some of the big names like Nadal, Federer and Murray.


Yeah those are some of the current greats, I heard Nadal injured his knee recently as well.


He is always hurting himself, I believe it is the way he plays, he runs so much more than some of the other players.


Yeah and at the age of 32 and still competing for titles, I say he has had a good career.


He still does very well, he is the current French Open champion, he hardly ever loses when he plays on clay courts.


That is very impressive, I think if you are still playing pro sports past your 20's you are doing pretty good.


He has always relied on his mobility as a player, he's not such a great player of the ball like Federer, but he will keep chasing it.


That is true.  Speaking of tennis, did you know that until 1978 a player was allowed to use any object as a racket?


If that were still true I might try to find something very big and light to use.  I think tennis is interesting as it is played on different surfaces, hard, grass and clay, and each has it's own style.


That is very interesting, and I'm sure players have their own personal preferences for each.


They do, Nadal rarely loses on clay, Federer rarely loses on grass.  The ball moves slower on clay and you can run after it more.


Very interesting, I would like to try to play on a clay court one day and then a grass one, see the difference for myself.


I've played a bit on concrete at the local park, but only for fun with the kids. My kids typically like electronic entertainment.


Oh yeah and especially kids these days i'm afraid are more and more electronic only entertainment.


My son loves his game console, an Xbox.  They are so much better then the old Nintendo's.


Oh yeah but those old nintendos with the 54 colors were tons of hours of fun!


It probably doesn't really matter how many colors you have, I was happy with Pong at the time and that had just 2.


Right, it's all about the gameplay and that type of thing, but I think kids would notice the lack of colors today.


I'm shocked that the Nintendo was discontinued as long ago as 2003, doesn't seem that long ago that it was the in thing.  Good talking to you.


Yeah and it was one heck of a run!  Nice talking to you as well, have a good day.


Very well, thanks. Did you know The Nintendo entertainment system could display only 54 colors.


I think it was called Nintendo 54 at one point. That must be why. It was discontinued in Japan in 2003.


really! Nice...Bill nye "the science guy" got his break in entertainment by winning a steve martin lookalike contest.


He does look like him! Ronald Reagan got rejected for a movie because they didn't think he had a "presidential look"


The arrow through the head gave it away... Polo shirts were originally invented for tennis by famous player rene "the crocodile" lacoste and only later adopted by polo players


That's pretty cool. Speaking of tennis, only one man has ever won the US Open. That was in 1968.


I did not know that. Im going to have to look into that. They used a helicopter to dry the grass tennis courts for the 1969 us open


That was a great idea! The longest tennis match lasted 11 hours.


I would need a nap! Us open quarterfinalist gael monfils beat the "roger federer of paddle tennis" after learning how to play just days earlier


Wow. Roger federer has been gifted two cows over his career for winning the 2003 wimbledon and the 2013 swiss open.


Seriously! I wonder who gave them to him? Super weird!


Us open quarterfinalist gael monfils beat the "roger federer of paddle tennis" after learning how to play just days earlier


Roger federer is the first living person in switzerland to be honored with an official stamp.


I would love a stamp with me on it! In 2016, roger federer suffered the biggest injury of his career when he stretched too far while drawing a bath for his daughters and tore a meniscus.


Haha. Figures! He has won 20 Grand Slam singles titles.


Ain't that the truth! He was in the top ten from 2002-2016 and then again in 2017.


Hi, ya. I guess a knee injury forced Rafael Nadal out of the U.S. Open semi finals.


Yeah.  that is really sad.  He is such a talented player.


Right, I know. Del Port said that its not the best way to win a match and that would have loved to play against Rafa because hes the biggest fighter in the sport.


It is never great having something handed to you at that level.  It is more fun to earn it, so I see his point


Yep, I agree. I guess he typically doesn't like his knee taped up and his coach retaped it a few times and each time he tore it off. So eventually he had a limp and his speed was being effected and his knee was declining.


At least he believes he knows what is going on with it so he can rehab it faster


That is true and a good point. I guess he has suffered with tinnitus  for a while now and he's 33 years old.


It was projected that he would have a short career too.


Oh really, I didn't know that. He has proven people wrong with his work ethic and raw talent. Do you like any other types of entertainment?


Yeah, I loved playing Nintendo. The system was discontinued in 2003.


It is sad!  That was classic! Even though there were only 54 colors that was the best!


Yeah, things have come so far now. It's almost unrecognizable. Entertainment has evolved and can be adapted to suit any scale now.


It really has.  Did you know someone once told Reagan he didnt look "presidential enough"


What! No way! That is crazy, lol. Not presidential enough I wonder who made that call? It was a bad one.


Yeah, they certainly didnt know what they were talking about.


I was recently watching an old match with Roger Federer. He was an amazing tennis player. He was born in 1981 and was a Swiss professional player who ranked 3rd in the world.


He along with Nadal and Djokovic account for 56% of Grand Slam titles


Man, that is something else. Wow, wait talent. It was in 2016 that Federer suffered the biggest injury to date and of his career. He stretched too far while drawing a bath for his child and tore his meniscus.


Ya just never know when you may step wrong. Its very shocking though. I think its neat that they used to use a helicopter to dry the grass at the US Open tennis match.


I heard about that... kind of nuts.  Anyway Good chat!


I never have seen a baseball manager take the field and play a position.


I have never seen one either but it seems like its totally legal, ive always wondered why they wore the jersey as well.


Yes, most other games the coach is not dressed to play.  There seems to be something universal about hitting a ball with a bat.


I see, did you know baseball is also popular in Japan?


Yes, It is big there.  Seems odd that man Japanese fans do not know that baseball is called Americas past time. Japan is full of surprises.


It sure is full with suprises I agree with you there, you know a man found like a million dollars worth of baseball cards.


Thats a good surprise.  Who could have predicted that some cards would become valuable.  I played kickball in school, should I make a card and see if it becomes valuable?


Probably not a good idea but who know it might be worth millions in a future lol, a married couple scheduled all games untill 2005.


That makes me wonder why they stopped.  I know that there are 2430 games of MLB played each year.  I am surprised, thats a lot.


It is a lot! I would have thought there were a lot fewer games, do you like comedy?


Comedy movies?  I like that very much.  Though the term bromantic is not one I would use.  Harold and Kumar is a weedy film. Ha.


I liked that film, so funny! and do you know the comedian Ryan Stiles?


I do know Ryan.  He is on Whos line is it anyway, and in the old Drew Cary show.  Did he do the right thing to drop high school and pursue a career?


Apparently it worked out for him but I think it was the wrong choice, he is sucessful but school is important still.


I have never seen Kung Fu Hustle.  Bill Murry likes it.  Do you have an opinion?


I havent seen it but I heard its pretty funny, Do you know who Demetri Martin is?


No idea who Demetri is.  3rd rock from the sun beat Seinfeld and friends for a golden globe.  That is a surprise to me.


Ok so Demitri is a comedian, he was accepted into Harvard and left because for him it was boring.


The worst time to have a heart attack is during a game of charades.  I would think, that leaving Harvard was a hard decision to make.


I know but apparently it turned out to be a good decision, I know thats not the decision I would take lol


early silent films are nice in a way.  So simple so funny.  humor does not have to be words.


Five new comic books does not sound like a lot.  I wonder what he will be paid?


That doesn't sound like a ton but it seems like there are a lot of new characters so maybe it will be a really cool read.


Oh, I see, he wanted the experience of Bruce Wayne.  No plan for author Bryan Hill to buy the F430.  New characters?


Yeah it looks like he added Black Lightning and Orphan. I think that Signal and Batgirl make an appearance too. Maybe it will be a fun short run of these characters together.


What does Signal do?  What is the super power?


I'm not sure. I think Signal is from the suicide squad which seems like an odd team up for Batman. But i guess he is kind of an anti hero in a sense.


It would seem that Hill is also trying to make political statements with comics.  Cant we just have some Bam POW , SOCKOW fun.


That is the classic Batman that I knew growing up. I will always sort of think of Adam West as Batman. He is iconic.


Yes Adam West on the TV show.  It was funny to hear his voice on the Simpsons.  Batman first appeared in DC comics in 1939.


He actually has the logo of batman etched on one of his molars. Talk about dedication to the character.


I wonder if Adam West knows anyone named Alfred.  It would be a fun joke for all of five minutes I guess.


That would be pretty hilarious. Stick them all in New Jersey where Gotham City is supposedly located in the fictional universe and it could make for some hilarious jokes.


Think of the Christmas card the two could make. Alfred and I would like to wish you a happy whatever.  I wonder why the batman and the joker never refer to each other by name.


Hmm that is very strange. I know in some comics they were friends before they became enemies. Maybe that is why.


What are you doing here batsy.  Do cute nick names count?  Must be a comics only kind of thing, not the TV show or movies.


Must be. I wonder which Batman comic had the condiment king. I don't remember him as a villian. I can't imagine it was a very good battle though.


I do not know.  police commissioner Gordon might have been taken prisoner by a hot dog covered in ketchup.  What is more important, super powers or super tech?


I'm hoping super tech because honestly if they made a super villian by dunking him in some radioactive ketchup or something that issue deserved to flop and never be known by most of the public.


The base for almost all the super heroes today came from the 1930's. To bad we dont have a modern hero.  Able to create power points with the click of a mouse.  Surfs web pages like they were water, its office worker dude.


That would be really cool. Too bad Stan Lee passed. I could totally see him creating something like that.


Your radioactive ketchup might play a role in neutralizing the smell from the guy that microwaves fish in the office kitchen.


There could be a whole thing of office themed comics. It would be fun if they broke the fourth wall like they do in the show the office. That could lead to some really funny situations.


There is a insurance commercial where people use office binders like armor.  They are gladiators.  It could be fun.  The manager would end phone calls with excelsior.


Just like Stan Lee did! Well it has been nice chatting with you. Have a great day!


Doing great. So are you a fan of the dark knight? I love Batman myself.


I really liked those movies even though I am not the biggest Batman fan.


I guess its an acquired taste. I dont know, but adam west sure enjoyed his time as batman. He actually has a bat symbol on one of his molars.


That's pretty interesting, that's dedication to one of his roles. Did you read the Batman comics growing up?


No I didnt really read comics when I was a kid.  I dont even think I ever owned a comic book. Lol


I read a lot of Marvel comic books but not a lot of DC comic books. That's why I am not the biggest Batman fan.


Batman was created by bob kane and bill finger all the way back in 1939.That is pretty amazing that it is still popular today.


I think once you come up with a great story it will last a long time. Look at how many classic stories are still being remade into movies today.


I dont think the condiment king will be one that lasts. Lol


There have been some real crazy Batman villains, did you see the Lego Batman movie?


I havent saw that one. I saw batman in the original lego movie. Is it good though?


It was very funny and it had a lot of nods to all the weird villains they made throughout the comics history such as Condiment King and Calendar Man.


Ill have to check that out with my son. He will love that. I always thought gotham was supposed to represent New York. I guess it is supposed to be in New Jersey I guess.


I did not know that,I would have guessed New York as well.


I guess batman and the joker never mention each others names in face to face confrontations. I didnt catch that whenI have watch batman.


That's also interesting, I wonder who Weird Al voiced in the Batman animated film?


I would say it would be joker maybe. It almost has to be one of the villains. I could see him as the joker or maybe the riddler.


The Riddler would be a good role for him, I know Mark Hammill is very popular with the fans as the animated Joker.


I think he would be popular with fans no matter what he was to do since star wars. Lol.


I agree! It was nice talking with you, have a great day!


I havent really been to very many. The couple I have been to were cool though.
