Hi there!

Did you know that there are stars that are cold enough for a human to be able to touch?

Yeah I actually knew that the sun will eventually cool down.

The universe is an amazing topic great start I must say!

Thanks!

The universe is really fascinating, and there's so much to learn!

I love reading about the different theories - like the one that believes the universe evolved through natural selection.

Yeah there are a lot of good theories as well, also the one that the universe exists in a Black Hole.

I haven't heard that one...actually that one makes sense to me.

Although does the black hole exist in another universe?

Did you hear the theory that the universe is actually one giant superhologram?

I have no idea, I think the theory is really complex and I did hear about that one I think its best to keep an open mind but I don't believe that theory is true.

I absolutely agree.
Are you a fan of jazz?

I am a fan of the genre yeah, it has deep roots that go to African communities of New Orleans.

Yes, It's thought of as America's classical music.

I recently learned that jazz trumpeters grew goatees for comfort while playing, not for the look!

Ive always wondered about those goatees, they look really funny, I guess they serve a purpose and it all makes sense now.

Yes, I always thought they were funny.

When I think of a jazz player I think of the Muppets, lol.

Why is that lol?

did you ever watch the series Breaking Bad?

I saw the first few episodes, why?

There is a Jazz musician that is called Walter White and he has a new album called  ''Breaking Good''

Oh my goodness, that's funny!!!

There is a woman in Harlem who holds a free jazz concert at her apartment every Sunday, sometime top performers stop by!

That must have been great also annoying if you dont like Jazz.

I bet her neighbors appreciated that though.

I didn't even think about that!

Well, she's been doing in for the past twenty years, I guess her neighbors would have moved if they didn't like it!

Ella Fitzgerald was another jazz player she thought herself to sing 2 notes at once, seems like she had a talent for music

Wow, two notes at once?

I never noticed, I wonder how many singers can do that?

Very impressive!

I guess Clint Eastwood is a fan of jazz - he included it and even scored several of his films with it!

Maybe Clint Eastwood did that as well, his one of my favorite actors but anyways its lunch time it was great chatting with you friend.

It was great chatting with you, have a great day and enjoy your lunch!


Good Morning!
Are you into music?

I am into music are you?

Yes I am!

I do like rap music.

Never heard of the korean rap battles though.

Compliment battles, they seem kind of lame to me lol

Very lame but to each their own haha.

I didn't think Eminem wanted to ever be anything else but a rapper!

Apparently one of his passion is comic books, he wanted to be a comic book artist

I'm glad he stopped that route and became a rapper!

I wonder if he went to high school with any famous people like Jay Z did?

No idea about that, he might, do you like Jay Z?

I like some of his songs.

I didn't know he ghostwrote a song for Space Jam!

I'll have to look into that one.

Didnt know about that one either, are you aware of his album American Gangster?

I am, I think he pulled it off Itunes though for some reason?

He did, because he thought his collection shouldnt be sold as individual singles, I guess he really appreciated his own work

I think he has a good point there!

Do you wear hats by the way?

Did you know more people wore bowler hats and not cowboy hats in the old west?

I guess movies have tricked us all!

didnt know about that, interesting fact though

I don't even know what a bowler hat is, is that bad?

I wonder if they could tip hats back in the day too.

That is a good question, Google will solve it after we finish chatting, do you know the origins of the conical party hats?

Weren't they derived from dunce caps?

Yeah, they were, they were worn to enforce and encourage foolish behavior, I dont see them at parties anymore.

I think I need some of those in my office right now.

A lot of people around here lol.

That can definitely cheer a lot of them up lol, I can relate

I'm going to see what I can do to cheer people up haha.

It was awesome chatting, have a great day!


Hello there, are you a fan of Jay-Z?

Not really, but I do like the song "Empire State of Mind" that he did with Alicia Keys.

The song "California Gurls" was written as an answer song to that

Yeah didn't Snoop Dogg rap on that song California Gurls?

Yes, he recorded it with Katy Perry.

There's also a song on the Space Jam soundtrack that's sung by Bugs Bunny that Jay-Z was a ghostwriter for

That is pretty interesting, I didn't know he was writing music that far back.

Many artists started off in song writing.

His first album was released in 1996.

Now he has thirteen

I think he is up there for most ever grammys or grammy nominations as well.

He's been rapping since high school though because he had a rap battle with Busta Rhymes in the lunchroom since they attended the same school

That must have been an awesome battle, would be cool if you were there and could tell the story today.

Well, DMX also went to that school and also might have been there to see it.

One of Jay-Z's albums was pulled from iTunes because he didn't want people buying individual songs and missing the big picture they would get from the album as a whole

That is a pretty cool concept, i don't think artists appreciate the whole album experience like the used to, not all but a lot.

Albums that are done well should be a seamless experience between songs.

Have you heard of the DC comics miniseries called "Kingdom Come"?

Agreed, and no I haven't heard about it, what is it about?

It's about a retired Superman in the future coming out of retirement and showing the younger superheroes how saving the world is done.

It inspired Jay-Z's album with the same name

That sounds pretty cool I will have to check that out when I get some time.

He's not the only rapper who likes superheroes.

Eminem's favorite superhero is Spider-man, and he originally wanted to be a comic book artist

Yeah I think I read that, interesting to think what Eminem's comic book art would have looked like.

It's not too late for him to try.

There's a type of freestyle invented by Korean rappers called a "compliment battle."

How nice of them!

That sounds pretty cool, did you hear about the judge in an Eminem suit?

Didn't the judge give her ruling by rapping?

Yeah she rapped it out to him, that sounds too funny to be true.

I mean, I would do that too if I could.

Apparently I need to go back and watch the Rugrats Movie because Busta Rhymes did the voice of the Reptar wagon


hi how are you?
do you like rap music?

I like some stuff.
Mainly some of the older stuff.
I do enjoy Jay-Z

I dont really know his stuff.
he is quite popular ive heard.

I know he is in the Songwriter's Hall of Fame, I am not too familiar with his entire body of work, but what I have heard, I like.

I guess he has rivals in the rap world?
Is kanye one of them?

I think so, but I also think they worked on an album together.

I dont personally care for Kanye.

I dont really like him as a person and i dont know his music.

To me, he seems to focus too much on himself.

I agree with that, and I don't agree with his thinking, either.

He had a controversial comment about AIDS...

I'm not convinced that he knows much about science and medicine.

hm.

Enough about him... did you know Jay-Z was the ghostwriter for the song Bugs Bunny sang on space jam?

I did not know that.

jay-z probably writes a lot of songs that get used in different situations.

He is a prominent rapper, so he likely has songs I dont even realize are his!

True.

Did you know that tupac shakur's music is in the library of congress of "cultural significance"?

No.

That is pretty cool.

I never got into him, but I hear his music was pretty good.

I dont know his stuff either.
i know that he was a dancer as well.
he was a gifted guy.

He really was, I read he also studied Jazz, poetry and other stuff while in school.

I am not surprised.

Did you know that korean rappers engage in something called a compliment battle?

Yeah, it is something that they also call their freestyle.

Here it is an insult battle.

LOL

Yes, i think the koreans are doing something culturally appropriate.

Anyway, great chat!

Same to you!
Have a great day!

Thanks, you too!
Bye

Bye!


do you like Jay Z?

I do.
DO you know his full name?

His name is Shawn Corey Carter

Yeah.

Did you know he went to high school with Busta Rhymes?

yea and notorioug big and used to have lunchroom rap battles

That must have been so cool to hear back then

Right?

He pulled his American Gangster album from iTunes

Yes as he said albums should not be sold piece by piece

Yes and compared it to movies not being sold frame by frame

Yeah.

Do you know where the name of the album Kingdom COme came from?

Yes the DC comics with the same name about the retired superman

Yes and in it he comes back to show the new guys how it is done

yes the irony in that name alone is so extreme

I know.
Do you like hats?

I sure do.

Do you know the most popular one in the old west?

Yes contrary to popular belief it was the bowler hat

Yeah.

Do you know where the tipping of the hat originated?

Yes when knights removed their visors to show friendliness

Yeah.

The conical party hat originated from the dunce caps

SO silly.
Nice chat today

Same here


Hey there do you like sharks?

I know that I hate the shark in Jaws LOL

ha!
That was a bad shark!

Yep he was evil!

It's funny that sharks are older than both dinosaurs and trees too

Wow.
And still they have no rib cages.

Wow that's crazy!

It's also crazy that you could have a pet shark and you could train it to bark LOL I don't like the sound of that

Wow, I didnt know sharks barked.
I didnt think they made a sound

No that would be really scary sound to hear if sharks were barking LOL what do you think about sharks rescuing sailors apparently dolphins and sharks do that

That is neat, maybe they are not all bad.

Except that shark cafe... that sounds like something from nightmares.

Yep that sounds horrifying haha.

I would definitely not want to run into a Caf√© of great white sharks LOL

Its like they are just waiting for their snack to come to them

Yes we need to have a scientist come by to study these shark cafes LOL did you know that the emperor of Japan is actually a scientist

Really?

Why does it seem that every other country has a really smart person in power except us.

Yeah I don't know the world isn't fair I guess haha.

What do you think about the fact that only one scientist has ever walked on the moon?

I am kind of surprised more of the first Astronauts werent some sort of scientist.

Yes I agree, but scientists are really smart did you hear about the scientist who, when he was 6, could divide 2x 8 digit numbers in his head?

Yeah, he could converse in Ancient Greek too!

That is amazing.

I cant even do those things now.

Nope I can't either!

It's truly remarkable, what about comedies though, are you at least interested in those?

I know that I love Bill Murray

I love comedy.
Bill Murray was great in Ghostbusters.

Yep he also recommends that you watch the movie Kung Fu Hustle, he calls it a supreme achievement, have you ever seen it

Nope, so I cant fully agree or disagree with him

I think the movies ok, one movie I didn't like was Green Lantern with Ryan Reynolds, they should have made it a comedy with Jack Black, that sounds much better


Have you watched Skyscraper?
It was a good movie!
Full of action

For me Skyscraper was decent.
At least it was better than The Meg

The Meg had the world's biggest shark.
I rather watch Jaws.

While The Meg was like Jaws, but bigger wasn't better as the film was blandly satisfying and equally forgetful

That movie got 2 stars.
What a shame.

Jaws was a good movie that unfortunately made people very very afraid of sharks.

Did you know even sharks have rescued sailors?

In any case The Meg is a hollywood rehash of things that work, but are terrible

That is true.

There has been some news about people getting killed by sharks, swimming in the open.

There are other sharks that are safe, but make sure to be with trained swimmers.

It gives a different perspective of how sharks are through Meg.

Even then, the Meg takes its sweet time to start going, barely delivering the trills and chills expected of such a film.

Its series of close calls become growing comedic rather than believable or action packed.

Well, it does seem comedic due to the enormous shark.

They should change the genre to comedy instead of action.

At that point it is funny just because of how bad it is... As an actor Statham does well, but can't carry the film like his rival Johnson.

Interesting, did you know that Jack Black starred in most of the comedy films such as green lantern?

I thought Jack Black was originally going to star in green lantern, which was going to be a comedy, but he ended up not being in green lantern?

Wow, that is sad.
Jack Black should have been chosen.

The chance of it being a better film as a comedy is very high.

Personally, I tend to be bias towards comedy since its purpose is to be humorous or amusing by inducing laughter

True.
Have you watched Comedy Central?

Not really.

I only recently read that they cancelled over 100 shows since it was created in 1989

You can watch it on YouTube.
They should have them still.

What is comedy central offer in terms of content?

Well, they have improvisation.
I personally thought it was funny.

Are they like Monty python?

they also do a lot of improv like the parrot sketch

Yes, it is similar.
It was nice chatting with you.


Hi Have you seen the Meg movie?

I saw in the theater!

I thought it was pretty interesting, although it got mediocre ratings.

It looks pretty good.
Is it like Jaws?
I haven't seen it yet.

It was a like a fancy new age Jaws but with jason Statham and ruby rose.

Nice.

I'm going to have to check it out.

Did you know that sharks can be trained like dogs to bark?

Odd...

A barking shark?!
That is odd from a cartilaginous fish!

I know.

...and how in the heck did they ever to decide "Hey...let's see if we can make a shark bark!"

lol

Maybe it began with pet sharks.

Indonesia has a community with shark pets.

That sounds different.

lol  I would like to see some videos of the white shark cafe in the middle of the pacific ocean.

It's where great white sharks congregate.

Sharks are ticklish.
I wonder if they laugh along with bark?

How do they know that?

lol  Sharks evolved earlier than dinosaurs and trees.

Maybe that has something to do with it.

I would like to see some research done by scientists on this issue.

Scientists gain knowledge based on their research.

Yep.

They must have done some research on how not only dolphins, but sharks can rescue sailors too.

I wouldn't have wanted to be the guinea pig in that research project.

lol

People have to be scientists or magicians to own a rabbit in Queensland.

What a silly law.

I've never heard that.
I wonder why?
..a magician too?
lol

I find it humorous comedy that magicians are the only other exception to the rabbit ownership rule.

Yes.

Odd for sure.

The world wide web was invented by an English scientist in 1989.

They really developed it fast because I remember being able to go online around 1995

The good old days of dial up connections.

Major expense went into developing it.

I wonder how it compares to the $200 million budget for evan almighty.

I loved that movie.
Do you like comedies?

I do!

I wish they were up for oscars because they are deserving and it has been 37 years since one won.

I love them too.

I didn't realize that Comedy Central was created in 1989.

Same year as the world wide web!

that was a big year for important things!

Nice meeting you!


Kanye West was really seriously a happy man while playing Family Fued, wasn't he.

haha I think so, he was very spirited with his shouting and "dragon energy" haha

Yah, dragon energy he said he shared with Trump of all people.

ya pretty crazy, also he was born in 1977 and has sold about 120 million records so he's no slouch

Yes he is a very popular rapper.

oh ya for sure, but hes kind of crazy he thinks AIDS was man made

hahaha!
True.
He has some real funny ideas.

yup very werid, he is nice though once he gave his mic to a wheelchair bound fan

Yes, he did.

He also sings some gospel songs!

That was shocking to me.

He has a wide range of changes in his approach to sweep people off their feet.

oh definitely, and he has a history of off color interruptions, like at that award ceremony with Taylor Swift

He's supposed to be the only one out of the top 10 most successful songs of all time that is in a minor key!

that is impressive, do you like Kim kardashian at all?

Yes, I do.

She hit TV like no tomorrow and got extremely high pay, especially in 2015 when she took the highest paid reality television personality!

ya she hit the ground running, weird that she used to be the personal assistant for Paris Hilton!

Everyone has to start somewhere.

Ya think?

That 2003 sex tape with her former boyfriend, Ray J that got leaked in 2007 helped push her to the forefront.

oh definitely, and now shes married to Kanye West and in Fallout Boy Music videos!

Who would have ever thought Kanye West?

hahahaha!

Yah, she jumped right in there in 2014 and they got thee kids right off the bat!

lol ya she did, and her father got famous from being part of OJ's defense team, I remember that

True!

She hit the top 100 most influential people in 2015 and was plastered all over Time magazine!

yup she was, do you like rap music?

I guess Tupac's music was given to the library of congress because it was deemed "culturally significant"

Personally, there is very little rap that I like.

Tupac is a big name in the industry along with eminem.

ya, I was just shocked they rap in Korea and do "compliment battles" sounds crazy


Hello, do you like sharks?

I think they are pretty neat!
I dont want to swim with them though.

They are amazing animals.

Sharks have no rib cages which means on the land they can crush their own body.

I think it is cool that they rescue sailors.

So they are not the monster Jaws makes the out to be.

I think so too.

Sharks evolved earlier than dinosaurs and trees.

Wow!

That is amazing.

I would have expected the other two to be first.

Me too.

Great White Sharks congregate in the middle of the Pacific in an area know as the white shark cafe.

Also known as the place you wont find me.

HAHA right!

Sharks can be trained like dogs to bark.

That would be the scariest sound to hear right before it eats you...lol

I agree lol.
Do you like science?

I do.
I find it fascinating.
Im no scientist though.

I do too.

One of the emperors of Japan is a scientist and still publishes papers to this day.

Wow.

To bad we cant elect someone with that intellect.

I agree.

Harrison Schmitt is the only scientist to walk on the moon.

You would have thought more of the astronauts would have been scientists.

I would think so too.

Harvard scientists stored a GIF animation of a galloping horse in the DNA of bacteria.

Even beginning to understand how that is done baffles me.

I agree.
It doesn't even make sense to me.
Do you like comedy?

I do!
It has to be my favorite genre!

I think it's great.
Nothing better than a good laugh!

The Green Lantern was supposed to be a comedy in the beginning.

Good talking to you


Hi, how are you?

Seeing a study saying 'zapping' the brain decreases aggressive intentions.

I have read that brain stimulation help prevent future violence.

I wonder how long it lasts?

according to an article I read it depends on the experiment

Interesting.
Are you a fiction reader at all?

I do.

Did you know what in 1950s a judge tried to ban a science fiction comic because it has a black character

I wish I were surprised.

I also see taht George RR Martin of Game of Thrones hates fan fiction.

Wow.

I didn´t know that.

talking about something else did you know that windows 95 was the second most installled piece of software on computers.

windows has been for a long time

On a huge percet of computers.

Apparently smoking near Apple computers voids the warranty for a biohazard.

I wonder how can smoking affect it.

It also amazing the fact that the first windows computer at standfor was constructed from lego bricks.

I really dont know.

Some people want to be able to upload their minds to memory sticks.

Strange thought.

I know.

But in those days there are better devices to use.

I read something funny the other day about that it is a illigal to own a rabbit in queensland.

Can you believe that?

I wonder why?

Don´t know.

But will find out later.

Another interesting fact is that Matt Patricia is the only rocket scientist coaching in the nfl.

He's a smart guy, good luck to him with the Lions.

Do you know if it is true that before coaching he was a working aeronautical enginner?

I don't know on that, more impressive he has a potential career outside football!

sure.
I read he was graduated from rpi

What is RPI?

I think it is a school whose fight song includes sin, cosine and tangent and some other things I can´t remember

thats funny!
I want hear the song.
Have a great day!


HI there.

I like watching reality tv as a guilty pleasure and Kim and Kenya are at top of my list.

How about you?

I don't watch reality tv, but I heard the Family Feud episode they're on is worth watching!

Yeah, me too.

I watched it and it was a hoot.

I have never seen Kenya smile and be a happy person.

The host Steve Harvey is so funny and great that it would be hard not to smile around him.

I'll have to look it up!

It would be weird seeing Kanye as a likeable person!

What is it about the reality tv shows with them do you like?

I think it is just the shock value.

The glimpse on Family Feud into another aspect of them all was interesting too because they were in a fun environment.

Kanye has released some good music and some dark cracked psyche kind of music too they are like watching a train wreck.

How weird, I'm sure if I had cable I would get hooked into it!

I heard Kim Kardashian used to be a personal assistant to Paris Hilton.

Oh wow, thats crazy, really?

I wonder if she traveled and everything with Paris?

Yes, she traveled as her stylist!

I wonder how Paris Hilton feels about her former stylist out-faming her?

Probably sour and mad,lol.

I know that Vogue magazine said that Kim was a trail blazer and a pop culture phenomenon.

Is that right?

I've heard that she's a trailblazer of the "selfie movement", not an honor I would be proud of!

Do you know any other interesting facts about her?

Well yes I do.

She was reported to be the highest paid reality star of 2015 and earned more than $53 million dollars.

She also was in a music video early on in her career for the Fall Out Boys.

My goodness!

All that money for putting your life onto the tv, how crazy!!!

I wonder if that music video is very good, I do like the Fall Out Boys.

Do you think she would have become famous if it weren't for her dad being on the defense team for OJ Simpson?

I think her dad helped the cause for sure but you make a good point, I don't know.

She has done some good things with her money and fame also.

That's true, she advocates to raise awareness for the Armenian Genocide.

It's nice when people put themselves to a cause.

Yes, exactly.

I was raised in an area where that was an important cause overlooked by many.

He dad was Armenian.

Are you Armenian?

That's horrible about the genocide, I don't think I would have heard of it if it wasn't for her efforts.

I am not but was raised in a town that many migrated to and it was a known subject to me my whole life.

Kim was also interesting in her pick for a husband, that is another reason I follow her crazy decisions.

Kanye Omari West was born in 1977 and he has one of the top 10 most successful songs of all time, Gold DIgger.

I hate to say I like the song.

And it was the only song he wrote in a minor key!

You would think, given it's success, that he would write more songs in that key...what if that's the secret to it's success?

I think you are on to something, hmmm.

I am gonna read Kim's book "Selfish" and contemplate.

Thank you for the fun chat, have a good one!

It was a fun chat!
Have a great day!

You too, I liked the crazy topics we explored, see ya.


Computers are so fascinating and we've come so far with them.

Yeah.

I can't imagine my commedore 64 today...

No, we had no graphics or storage back then.

Now they are used for everything.

Even factories have industrial robots.

Have you ever seen the Boston Dynamics robots that can run and jump on boxes?

I have not.

That is intriguing and I will have to look that up.

Can you believe that the space shuttle's general purpose computer runs on  only 1MB of ram?

If I am an astronaut, I am little worried about going into space with a computer with 1MB of ram... What are they hiding???

I am a little worried also just because I would think they would need more for such complicated processes in order to be safe.

I did not know that computers even existed in 1936 but in that year Russians made a computer that ran on water.

Wow, that's crazy!

they are not the ones I associate with the invention of the computer.

I'm not that versed on computer history unfortunately.

At this point we are so far past what we were.

Someone built a 16-bit computer using nothing but basic Minecraft building blocks and it works.

I would be interested in know if zapping the brain also worked on CTE or overly aggressive football players doing bad off the field.

That's a good question.
Biology is a fascinating subject.
Are you interested in Science?

I am.

I studied it the first 3 years of college and then organic chemistry suggested I move on from that.

I took every biology course I could in high school and a few in college and I wasn't even a science major I just enjoy it.

Scientists at Harvard stored a gif of a galloping horse in the DNA of bacteria.

I don't understand how that's even possible?

Have you heard about CRISPR?

I listened to a podcast about it and the science was completely over my head.

I got out at the right time...

I have not but I will look into it because I'm always curious to know more.

Did you know that only one scientist has walked on the moon?

I find that surprising.

Yeah, that is strange.

I thought there would be more.

Maybe they are at mission control or they are more engineers?

Would you ever want to go into space?

No way.

I think it's fascinating but I'll stick to the safety of seeing it in pictures ha ha.

How about yourself?

Nope!

I remember watching 2 shuttles explode and I don't want that to happen.

Plus I would miss my wife and kids too much!

I find the people going to SpaceX, an unproven spacecraft, crazy!

The Challenger was horrible.

I don't know what the SpaceX people are thinking.

I was unaware that the emperor of Japan is a scientist who still publishes papers.

Wow, that's interesting.

I think Kim Jong Un has a degree in pysics but who's going to fail him so I gquestion it's legitimacy...

He makes a lot of crazy statements so I highly doubt it but you're right, his people can't question it.

Nice chatting with you!

You as well.


Good evening.

Just signing on to my computer; not sure I could live without it.

why do you say that.
If you don't mind me asking?

I just use it so much I guess.

Did you know that way back in the 1930s, Russians created a water-run computer?

Really?

No I haven't heard of that before.

So they use water to power up a computer?

I wonder what was the point in that .

Who knows.

I'm all for utilizing other things, but I just can't believe it worked very well.

lol  I bet....
So are you into comics?

I used to be.

For about three years when I was younger and then tried again as an adult, but it was an expensive hobby.

I love fiction though.

You?

I'm kinda in the same boat as you.

I just read that in the 1950s a judge tried to ban a science fiction comic becasue it featured a black character.

Smh

We have come along way since then.

I know George RR Martin would like to ban all fan fiction!

Really, why do you say that?

On the one hand he sees it undermining copyright laws and on the other he sees it as potentially hurting someone pursuing writing.

He has a point I guess... but I like reading fan fiction.

I wonder if you've ever come across fan fiction written by Julius Caesar.

It seems crazy to believe, but I guess when he was young he wrote about Hercules and Oedipus!

Yeah I read an article about that.

I wonder who would win in a fight it came down to  Hulk vs Hercules?

In the Marvel Universe I think it's Hulk no problem, but I don't know how close to the myth Marvel went with their version of the character.

Did you know that there's a wiki that ranks fictional characters according to their powers and abilitles.

I wonder if Hercules on there then I could rank him against the Hulk.

We just need to get on our computers or at least get our top scientists to look into the issue.

HAHA...
I know right.
Get some egg heads on it lol.
Do you know any scientists?

The Emperor of Japan is also a scientist and is still publishing papers.

Do you know any?

Nope can't say that I do... but it was nice talking to you tho.

You too!


Hello, have you heard of the possibility of stimulating the brain with zaps to decrease aggressive instincts?

That is quite amazing, like something from science fiction.

I just wonder if it will really translate to real life.

It seems the test was to zap the prefrontal cortex and then have participants rate how they respond after reading a story with aggression.

I know you cannot test in real life, I'm just not sure how realistic the reading exercise is.

It definitely feels like science fiction!

It's crazy how rapidly scientists are innovating, I believe the term scientist wasn't even a regular thing until the 19th century, and look where we are now!

In some ways I agree,  like creating this computerized device to electrically stimulate the brain.

Its a bit scary that external devices can manipulate the brain's wiring.

Absolutely, at the same time I think it's important to remember this is nothing definite yet.

The researcher, Olivia Choy, still maintains this is just an early step.

I agree.

But Tom Hummer at Indiana University School of Medicine points out that the biggest limitation of the study is the difficulty of measuring actual aggression in the lab.

So, while it initially may show promise, the next step is to develop better experimental methods to more accurately measure the effects.

With better methods though I have a lot of hope for the future.

Amazing things come out of science.

Even the World Wide Web was invented by an English Scientist.

At the same time, scientist can be an eccentric bunch.

Do you know that there is a "Steve" project regarding evolution in which a signatory must be named Steve or some variation thereof?

I didn't know that no!

That seems very interesting and confusing, I wonder who came up with it.

I'm not sure.

At the same time they can be quite inventive in the most unusual ways.

Did you know that the first Google computer was housed in an enclosure made from Lego bricks.

That's a long way from the Google of today!

Wow it's crazy how people can make something from nothing.

I saw once that someone used basic minecraft building blocks to create a working 16-bit computer!

And I thought 16-bit computers went out of production in the 1980s!

Computers have really advanced science in ways that were not possible earlier,  Great advances in space travel were made possible with computer simulations.

And computers are getting smaller.

Harvard scientist have been able to store an animation of a galloping horse in the DNA of bacteria!!

Computers are getting smarter and yet I feel that there is so much more room to innovate!

For example smoking near an apple computer voids the warranty, that scares me and makes me feel like it actually could harm the computer's system!

I'm not quite sure how Apple will enforce that warranty - use a swab test for tobbacco combustion residue?

With scientist and computers, the line between the present and the future is somewhat blurred.

Did you know SciFi author Isaac Asimov created the term "robotics" in 1941?

I didn't know that!

That must have been before robotics was even thought of very often, whereas now it's a huge debate!

Although I think the history may go back even further, like I believe Edgar Allen Poe wrote the first known example of robots in fiction.

Could be; I have not read Poe in ages.

In weird science news, did you know its illegal to own a rabbit in Queensland Australia unless you have a magician's license or are a scientist?

That sounds like it could be straight out of fiction!!

Oh absolutely, and I have no clue how they would follow that!

Other strange science news I heard about was a very young prodigy, John Von Neumann could divide 8 digit numbers and converse in ancient Greek all by the age of 6.

That was truly remarkable - age 6!.
Do you know when I completed college?

No clue!

I'm guessing it was very early on though, maybe he grew up to be one of those genuises that helped build a computer that runs on water!

Sorry about the slip of the fingers, it should have been "he" and not "I".

I guess some of the more eccentric people can be the most creative and with the right guidance produce something than has real world applicability.

Well right now, I am thinking about going program my microwave to make popcorn!

No worries!

Maybe you'll be the next great mind in science, who knows!

It was nice chatting with you, have a great night!

Same to you.

And don't self experiment with the electrodes to the brain!

Ahah definitely a good idea, thank you for the advice.

Good night!


Would you be someone that reads much poetry?

Lol not since High School but I know a little about it, like the Epic of Gilgamesh written in Sumerian

That's more than me.

I like to read but I don't enjoy poetry.

Nicole Cooley is a complete unknown to me.

Lol yea back in high school we had to read stuff like the Odyssey and illiad, personally I thought the stories were interesting but way too long

Yes, school was probably my last real interaction with poetry, I recall having to memorize a poem by Wordsworth, and having to recite it to the class.

That's sucks.

Some classes I took would make you write poems which I sucked at.

I can't imagine ever writing a 274 line poem with 800 irregularly pronounced words like one poet did

I remember being very nervous about the recitation, I got very hot under the collar.

We had to wear shirt and ties to school, I distinctly remember the feeling.

too bad you weren't a viking, they though poetry was a gift from Odin.

They probably wouldn't make you dress up for poetry recitation

The vikings were a bit more casual in their dress.

I don't think they were too bothered about having the right label on their clothing, no Lacoste symbols on their chain-mail.

Yea and they didn't have to wear blue shirts at funerals like the pallbearers at Billy May's funeral

I think maybe I'll write a poem about how I hate reciting poetry, especially in a shirt and tie.

If it's really bad maybe Cs Lewis will read it at a laugh you lose competitions he has

To be honest I think I would find bad poetry more entertaining than good poetry.

Yea, maybe that should of been an olympic event instead of regular poetry

Now you mention I do recall the were gold medal for poetry in the early days, I think for art as well.

I just read today that they want break dancing to be in the upcoming Olympics.

Break dancing as an Olympic event sounds pretty subjective but so was poetry, art, and music

I suppose it would be like the ice dancing, a bunch of judges making a evaluation.

Essentially an election.

Yea but apparently the faster blinker has lost every US presidential election since 1980 so maybe there is an objective way to judge candidates

I can just see all the upcoming candidates getting blinking coaching to ensure they optimism their blinking for the American public.

It seems height plays a roll in elections too.

Must be why Hank the cat didn't win in the Virginia Senate election and only place third

That or there was too much blinking.

Do cats blink?

I'd like to see how a cat does in office.

Many would say better than we normally get.

Can't be worse.
Well it was nice talking with you


Are you familiar with association football?

Perhaps you know it better as soccer?

I used to play soccer!
Yes.
I usually watch the World Cup!
What about you?

I too enjoy watching the FIFA world cup every four years

I'm not surprised that soccer generates more income than other major sports combined.

The world loves soccer!

Personally I was a bit surprised by that fact.

I knew soccer was popular, but it didn't seem as popular as other sports like football in America

Soccer will never be popular in the US.

Maybe they need to bulid a special city, like in Qatar.The city set to host the 2022 Qatar  world cup final does not yet exist

Despite its popularity, the US mens team still haven't placed below third place in the world cup

The women's team?

Yeah, they're good.

Same with Japan.

Much better than the men.

Don't know why so many countries vie for the WC.

There are no net economic gains for them.

I wouldn't say no economic gains.

Their is prestige and bragging rights.

I also think there are ways people make money off the world cup.

I think rich countries can take the hit, but Brazil?

They had a stadium in the middle of nowhere.

Poor countries should put money into infrastructure.

It's great that German soccer player Mesut Ozil donated his victory bonus to pay for surgeries for 23 children in Brazil.

Despite making investments in stadiums, wouldn't Brazil make it up with prestige, tourism, and other related sources of revenue?

I understand you point, but I just am not familiar enough to say.

I don't know.

There is an underclass in Brazil that needs attention, and I think they love watching soccer, but I don't know if the wealth every reaches them.

I see your point.

On another not, did you know there a variation of soccer with 3 teams instead of 2 in a free for all?

That sounds amazing

How many referees do they need?
And are there 11 players on each team?
Sounds like confusion.

I would still like to see it at least once.

Sound chaotic, but in a good way

I wouldn't place a bet on a team until I knew more about it.

Do you listen to the Beatles?

They have some amazing songs, despite not being about to read music

I do not know how, but The Beatles have the best selling album of the 2000's.

I thought the kids would be listening to something else.

I think that the beatles still is a timeless classic.

They even had an enormous following resulting in beatlemania

I think they were smart to stop touring.

The amplification technology couldn't keep up with the screaming.

Plus touring is really hard on you.

Away from home for months.

Seems tough.

I agree.

In any case, it was wonderful chatting with you about the beatles

Yes!
I enjoyed the chat!
Have a good evening!

The same to you.


Hey there do you like poetry at all?

I like poetry.

I once saw that feminst poet who did a riff on that lou reed song.

Someone told me to read Alice James

Yeah I've heard that's pretty good.

I'll have to check it out.

I also want to check out the poem that, when red normally is depressing, but when read backwards is actually a very inspiring thing to read

Thats a neat trick.

Obviously it wont say "paul is dead".

Speaking of tricks, i would like to check out trickster feminism.

It does sound interesting.

Can you believe that Edgar Allan Poe only got like $10 for writing his famous poem The Raven.

that is a travesty

Yeah.

Mark Zuckerberg grey t-shirts cost 300-400 bucks.

That's very strange.

He's definitely over paying haha..

I would love to live in Hawaii where the famous official business suit is the Aloha shirt

Yeah, in contrast the brits only considered collared garments "shirts"

Haha I actually like that word a lot more than shirt.

I also know that you can wear a tie underneath a shirt collar.

I do that all the time for formal functions.

What about you

a tie underneath a collar?

thats as strange as a dog winning a mayoral election

Yep I'd agree with that.
Do you know the history of polo shirts?

well they cant be British since they have no cuffs

Haha good point.
Created by a famous tennis player.
So not by Polo players at all

interesting.

wonder what sells more...polo shorts or calvin and hobbes t shirts

That's a great question.

Did you know the difference between button up and button-down shirts?

no.

which one was worn at billy mays funeral?

I'm not sure actually.

But a button-down shirt is where the collar fastens to the body of the shirt.

A button up shirt does not do that.

ah.

that tells me something about buttoned up people

Did you hear about the popular Trend in China during the cultural revolution?

i can't imagine it was pleasant.

Well they would layer as much clothing and shirts as they could and pop the collars.

I bet that looked really weird haha


Hi, how areyou?

It is interesting how so many sports fans and players believe in curses and luck for whether they win or lose

Yes, well, I guess a lot is inexplicable in sports.

The luck factor is one that fans believe they have some influence over.

Yes.

I do love how the Cub's curse of the Billy Goat was finally broken last year.

The Cub's were like the Red Sox.

The more they believed in a curse, the more powerful the curse seemed.

The Germans at least admitted to cocky arrogance when they lost to South Korea in the World Cup - rather than blaming it on divine internvention

The US took 3rd place in the first World Cup in 1930.

It’s been downhill ever since.

Is there a curse?

Probably not arrogance, because the sport isn't that popular in the US.

That is very true.

The European countries have a lot of political stuff going on right now, so they rely in their abilities in soccer to cope sometimes.

I think that emotion trumps logic and economic gain in these countries.

There are no economic gains for the countries that have played host to the WC.

Yes.

And many of the countries that do well in the cup - like Uruguay are not exactly superpowers.

It is a game like no other.

Yes, tiny countries can dominate.

The Hungarian national football team had one defeat between 1950 and 1956, and that was the World Cup final.

Yes and in the last 5 tournaments, the defending champion has been eliminated in the group phase 4 times.

The sport draws a lot of fans and generates a lot of income.

Soccer makes more  than football, basketball, baseball, golf, tennis and hockey combined.

I guess the fortunes of teams vary quite a bit in that environment.

Yes and some countries have players from other countries on their teams.

Plus many of the big champions have gotten trounced by much smaller countries.

I'm impressed by the largess of some of the players though.

German player Mesut Ozil donated his World Cup  bonus to pay for surgeries for 23 children in Brazil.

That is awesome!

That was very nice of him.

Did you know that the city that is going to host the 2022 final does not even exist yet?

Qatar is rich, so I guess they can put up a city pretty fast, especially with labor from the subcontinent.

Yes but that world cup is going to have major problems with heat I suspect!

Very true.

I think the fix was in when Qatar was chosen.

Money changed hands.

I wonder if the Beetles were into soccer?

They are one of my favorite bands ever.

I suppose they were.
They were British.
They had no choice in the matter.
Well, I enjoyed chatting with you!

Yes it is crazy that they were so popular that they had to stop touring because the current amps could not keep up with the screaming!


Hi, how are you?

I've been writing some poetry tonight - did you know writing poetry was once an olympic sport?

I had no idea.
How are you doing?
Are you going for the gold?

I would do great, but probably only in a you laugh you lose competition like CS Lewis and Tolkien used to play

Are your poems depressing when read forward but inspiring when read backwards?

No, mine are more like the chaos which is 274 lines of hard to pronounce words!

Did you just write the japanese alphabet?

That is a complicated alphabet but I do not know it

When recited in order, it does form a poem.

Hopefully they got more than $9 for it.

Oh Interesting I did not know that.

I have been busy following who all is going to be running in the next election

Really!

I love politics.

Who do you think will be in the next election?

I am from Texas and I love Beto O'Rourke.

I hope he wons for president and wins the election - I just wish I could vote by mail like they do in Oregon

That would make life easier!

Serious question, did Beto ever win a state election?

I know he lost to someone but cannot remember who and that was national.

Yes he served in the US House for 6 years.

He lost to Ted Cruz for Senate this year but just barely.

That's it.

I heard he said he was willing to serve as VP if he didn't win the presidency.

Yes he is amazing.

I think he would even beat the cat named Hank who finished 3rd in a Virginia Senate Election.

Nevada is the only state to have a "none of the above" as an option?

Why not just skip it?

I would like that because it would let me voice my distaste for both candidates.

I personally would probably vote for a dog - one served as mayor for 13 years!

Man, that dog lived a long time!
13 years as a mayor!?!?!?
!

Politics must have suited him!

I wonder if they made him wear a shirt to the office?

Nice chatting with you!


Do you like poetry?

I like poetry but don't read it as much as I think I should.

But it's amazing.

Poetry can express so much emotion on so many different topics.

Do you like it?

I like it yeah, I think that it expressed feelings in a unique way,

I agree.

Have you ever heard of Nicole Cooley (aka Alice James)?

She has some great poetry out there.

Very unique

I have actually, Of Marriage is one of her popular poems right?

Yes it is.

It's about her own experience with her marriage, and it's really good.

It's really cool with her use of unexpected line breaks

Yeah being legally and emotionally bound to a person, thats something I can understand, she has a great writting style

Yeah, and so does Elizabeth Spires.

She wrote a piece that raises really important questions about identity and memory and death

I havent heard about her, I might Google that poem later sounds interesting,

It definitely is.

And Anne Waldman wrote a collection called "Trickster Feminism" about feminism and the people who want to take women down

I thought that one was great, she won an award because of the poem right?

I heard she is an award winning activist

Yeah I think she is.

She wrote a great piece about the 2016 election.

Do you know anything about elections?

yeah a bit, the talle candidate seems to win most of the times, interesting stat

Yeah that's so weird.

Maybe that's why Trump won the election in 2016.

Did you know that voter turnout has been less than 2/3's of the population for the last HUNDRED years?

Wow I agree with you that can be the reason, Nevada has a none of these candidates option

I wonder why that is.

If you don't like any of the candidates, then why do you go to vote?

I know right, just stay at home an avoid voting, it would be funny if that option won though

Yeah, that would be so strange.

Do you like fashion at all?

I think it's pretty interesting but I'm not that informed.

I know that in China, gangs would layer as many shirts as possible and pop their collars during the cultural revolution as a fashion statement.

I do like fashion, and that is interesting, do you like to wear polo shirts?

I don't think I've ever worn a polo shirt.

But did you know that originally polo shirts were invented for tennis players, and only later were they worn by actual polo players?

I didnt know that, all this time wearing polo shirts and I just found out about that, great fact, thanks.


Hi, how are you?
Are you a soccer fan at all?

Yes, i am.

Do you know that soccer players run an average of 7 miles in a game?

Yeah I've heard it was something crazy like that.

Do you root for a team in the World Cup?

Usually England.
How about yourself?

England?

Booo!

I root for the U.S. men's team when they actually make it.

It hasn't been a good run for men's squad recently.

I am a proud American so of course i root for the U.S. men's team but when they get knocked out I switch to England.

Ah I see.

I'm with you.

I rooted for England last World Cup actually too.

At least the U.S. women's team is awesome, eh?

Yeah, they sure are awesome.

Can you believe the super bowl is smaller than soccer's third biggest event?

It's hard to believe, but soccer makes more money than football, basketball, baseball and hockey combined so it makes sense.

Only the US and Canada care about football really.

The rest of the world loves soccer.

I love watching soccer.

The anticipation when the ball is getting close to the goal and hoping (or dreading) that a goal might be coming

Me too.

I think soccer and hockey are the best two sports to watch.

The action and movement is constant.

I wonder if the 2022 World Cup will still be in Qatar.

I don't know.

The awarding process is so corrupt.

I think they have a ways to go on the infrastructure.

I heard they are trying to make an air condition stadium that are solar powered.

Yeah apparently there have been huge human violent rights and labor rights violations where they are building for the World Cup in Qatar.

I thought they might have changed the venue.

They shouldn't have got it in the first place.

It is too hot there for starters.

Soccer is definitely the world's most popular sport.

Did you that over 46 percent of the world population watched the 2010 fifa world cup?

That's insane, billions of people.

It's weird Qatar is building so much when there aren't really any net economic gains for hosting the World Cup.

Weird.

Same thing for the Olympics.

Some of the old Olympics sites are decaying ghost towns

I just saw the old site in Barcelona last year.

They actually turned it into something decent.

A bunch of restaurants on the beach and a boardwalk.

That is awesome.

I saw a slideshow recently about a few of the abandoned Olympic sites.

There was one in Russia, one in eastern Europe and perhaps one in Canada, very sad

Interesting, was the one in Russia the recent one?

Yes, I think it was Sochi (spelling?)

Yes, where Germany got knocked out of by the South Koreans lol.

I believe France won.

I think you are right.

Do you think the U S men team will get better in the near future?

I hope so.

I kind of agree when people say that the best athletes in the US don't play soccer.

There's not enough money in it here.

Good point.
Hey it was nice talking with you

Thanks, you too.

bye


Many people think it was a good thing that Trump didn't attend Barbara Bush's funeral

Hes the President,  he wanted to golf instead.

He pretty much can do whatever he wants lol did you know the presidents guest house is bigger than the white house?

I guess the actual White House is more for politics rather than housing guests.

Still, I don't get the whole obsession with gold.

Babe Ruth, on the other hand, is the country's most famous golfer

Its really interesting that an average american golf course consumes 312,000 gallons of water per day!

Well, considering that land is larger than both Delaware and Rhode Island together, that's not surprising

thats all the courses combined thoug.

an average gold course consumes 312,000 gallons a day,  times that by how many courses are in america!

Which still seems like nothing compared to the golf course that requires 4,000,000 gallons a day.

That course is in Dubai

Right,  that is a lot just for a gold course.

People love their gold.

It's even in Samuel L Jackson's film contracts that he can play golf twice a week while in production for movies

That must be nice!

Choosing your schedule where you can golf twice a week.

I would go snowboarding lol

Everyone has their preferences.

Apparently most people prefer listening to songs in major keys because Kanye's song Gold Digger is the only minor key song in the ten most successful songs of all time

I honestly dont find any of his songs good and I think his personality,  at least what he puts out there,  is really annoying.

I think its weird that he believes that aids is a man made disease.

I'm not sure what he even means by man-made.

He has his good sides though because during one of his concerts, he gave his mic to a fan in a wheelchair

Man made,  like this disease was made in a lab and  given to the public.

Remember when he took over taylor swifts award speech and ranted on about something during her time on camera.

What's funny is that two years before that incident, he did a SNL skit skit mocking himself doing that exact thing

That is pretty ironic.
Maybe it was planned lol

Probably not.

Still, he's had an influence on music and even cultural movements at a large level.

I know people keep saying that lol How is he an influence on music?

what makes people say hes contributed to these cultural movements?

He's made changes in styles, and in addition, he's a record producer.

Kanye signed Big Sean, who had a 3.7 GPA and had a scholarship he turned down to pursue music

That doesnt seem like a hug influence in music though,  people sign up artist all the time on their music labels.

He's incorporated a lot of different genres in developing hip hop


do you know much about politics?

I know some stuff.

Republican presidents seem to have a beard

Nice.

THe president has either been a republican or a democrat since 1853

Yeah I guess we do not hear of other parties much

True.

Do you know when they started using the red and blue colors?

Yes that was pretty recent, in 2000s

Yeah I though it was something that was always the case to be honest

Me too.

Did you know Truman refused to be photographed in the dumbo ride?

Yes he did not want to be associated with the republicans

Yeah that was pretty exptreme though if you ask me

True.

Do you know what is the other name for the republican party?

Yes it is know as GOP, Grand OLd Party

Yea.
DO you like Kanye West?

Somewhat.

He has one of the most successful songs though

Yes that is the Gold Digger song which is in minor key

Yeah.

He believes that AIDS is a man made disease

Wow.

But on the other hand he once gave his mic to a fan on a wheelchair

That is nice of him.

Did you know he has Big Sean signed under his label?

Yes and he was a great student in university before that

Yupp.
It was nice chatting with you

Same here


I think Trump should've have paid his respects to Bush by going to his funeral even if he did not know him or never met him, what do you think?

I think that it was a good idea for him not to show up.

How come?

He might not have felt he belonged.

I see.

I think Melania Trump was captured in the photo that represented power.

Melania Trump is an appropriate representation at a funeral, I worry her husband would not have had as much decorum.

Haha, that is true.

I did not know that the Republican Party was also referred to as the Grand Old Party or GOP

I didn't always agree with George Bush or Barack Obama on policy, but I think they represented the office of the president admirably.

I 100% agree with you on that.

Trump seems to care about nothing, even when he's presented with reasonable compromises on issues, he prefers to leave them as problems as opposed to angering his supporters.

I'm glad he played golf at Mar-a-Lago instead of attending the funeral.

The less I see of him, the better.

Haha, speaking of golf, did you know that the average golf course consumes around 312000 gallons of water per day?

That's such a waste.

It really is a waste, especially the golf course in Dubai that needs 4,000,000 gallons of water a day!

Do you think Trump should build a wall along the Mexican Border ?

No, to me it's a waste of resources.
What do you think?

I'm surprised he reopened the government, it really upset his base of supporters that want the wall built.

According to the news, it seems like the shutdown cost the US more money than what he was asking for to build the wall.

I disagree with most of Trump's policies.

I just can't believe there are so many people who idolize him or at least support him to lead the country.

I think Kanye West is Trump's supporter.

I think it's time for an independent candidate to get elected as president.

Don't think we've had one since the 1800's.

Well, there was talk on the news that Howard Schultz would be running as an independent candidate for the next election.

I think I'd support him if he ran for office.

I think I would vote for him too.


Did you see any of the "Incredibles" movies?

I did, I saw both actually, I like the director Brad Bird he does a good job, what bout you?

I like them both, but it was a long time between the first and the second.

ya it was, I liked Sam Jackson's role in that playing Frozone though

Well, he is good in anything so he was good in both of them.

They couldn't keep the kids though because of the long time between them.

right that makes sense, I remember in the first movie, they had to develop a bunch of new technology to make that movie possible for the hair, skin, and clothes

There was 14 years between them, so of course things changed.

The first one was based on a video game that was 13 years before the first.

ah that is interesting, what do you think of domino masks?

those are the masks all the incredibles wear?

I guess most superheros and superheroines wear those, but it was good to have some females, and a nice depiction of family life.

ya I think so, do you like any other superheros?

there is a book coming out on actually becoming a real life Batman haha

I think "Normalman" is the funniest one, he is on a planet of superheroes, and is the only one without a power.

haha that is a good concept, did you hear about Pet Force btw?

Well, there are over 300 registered superheroes in the US, is that one of them?

haha I don't know, but pet force is a Garfield spinoff and it has Garfield and his friends as superheroes, sounds cool to me!

Is it a movie?

If so who made it?

I know Disney and Pixar have done some of the recent superhero animations.

ya I think it was just a comic, but I would have loved a movie!

Kind of Crazy Stan Lee was going to change careers initially, good thing he didnt!

I am glad he created Marvel!
What was his other possible career?

I'm not sure, but he didn't switch when he was finally given creative control for making his own superhero characters like the hulk, obviously important haah

Is the hulk a superhero or a supervillain?

Superheroes can be so destructive that they made a series about the damage made by superheroes and how to fix it.

haha that is funny, but makes a good point, and ya I don't know he could probably be both, did you ever have a fish as a kid

I never had a pet fish, but I have eaten some of the gill bearing aquatic animals for dinner.

haha yes I had salmon tonight myself, I guess the oldest goldfish ever was 43 years old!

Jellyfish though take the prize for age.

There is one breed though to be immortal.

ya you're right, theyre also 98% water so they can easily evaporate unfortunately

Being immortal is good and all, but you can still die other ways.

I'm not sure that jellyfish are actual fish though.

No I don't think so, but there is a weird fish, it lives on land all of it's life, very strange!


hey there, do you like movies?

I do.

I really enjoy Superhero movies and comics

Nice.
Have you seen the Incredibles movies?

I've only seen the first one.

I haven't seen the 2018 Incredibles 2 yet.

Nice, me either but the first one was fun to watch.

Do you know who was the voice of Edna Mode

yes, it's actually a guy!
Brad Bird.

I still wonder how they were not able to find a woman to play it

I assume he had something very specific in mind for the character.

He seems very eccentric as a director.

True, he only hired people that he thought would quit or be fired from Pixar.

I don't understand the intention behind that.

But it is definitely interesting.

Superhero writers are known for weird things though.

There is, for instance, a superhero called normalman

Haha what is this superhero's superpower?

He has none!

He's the only man on a superhero planet without powers.

Oh okay I guess that is why the name.

I wonder if anyone thinks about the collateral damage superheroes cause?

Actually yes.
There's also a comic about that.

Nice, I wonder what the estimate is there in damages.

At least they save us.

Haha that is true.

There are over 300 registered US superheros so there is a lot of damage to recover from

Yupp.

Stan Lee alone maybe created more than half of them

Possibly.
He wrote 15 DC comics too!

The man was a legend.

There is even a Garfield book called Pet Force, where Garfield and his gang are superheroes!

He is definitely much missed in the comic world.

He was a super hero himself in a way

That is so true.
It was nice chatting with you


Are you a superhero fan?

I was once, but the world turned against me.

Now, I am a superhero fan incognito... You?

I like them, but I am not into all the lore and everything.

Are you a fan of the best animated movie of 2018?

Which one is that?

Why, Incredibles 2 of course!

I havent seen it.

I am living under a rock.

It has been a long time since the first one I feel.

Yeah, the first one came out in 2004.

That's a long time between installments, especially for such a successful first film!

I think there was a video game in the mean time.

True, but this is the first full-length film since the original!

The director, Brad Bird postponed the development of the sequel film to work on other projects.

Hopefully it can really live up to the hype.

Bird also voiced a character in the film, Edna Mode.

He sure did!

The film has gotten high praise for its animation, voice acting, humor, action sequences, and musical score.

Any one of those makes the sequel a good bet for a great time!

Yeah, I hear Michael Giacchino was back to score again.

Yup, and I just love the work of Holly Hunter and Craig T Nelson too!

They are pretty incredible.
No pun intended.

Did you know that there was a comic series written about cleaning up collateral damage caused by superheroes?

Pretty creative!

I bet that would be fun to read, that is one thing super heroes always do, destroy everything, all in the name of saving the planet.

My favorite superhero fish is the Black Swallower!

Its superpower is that it can swallow up to 10 times its own weight!

That is awesome!
I am a bit fan of Deadpool!

I am unfamiliar wit that character.

Is it a fish too?

My second favorite fish superhero is The Seahorse... As the only fish wit a neck, it stands out from the rest!

Nope, he is just a regular superhero who is extremely sarcastic.

But I'd be that Jellyfish that is immortal.

That sounds cool!

But what is the superpower?

Surviving the Cambrian extinction?

Well, I am off to eat some fish for dinner.

Have a nice evening!

You too!


Hi, how are you?

I'm fine!
How about yourself?

Well, thanks!

Did anything seem interesting in your article?

I'm astonished that Einstein was good at music.

He played two instruments.

That's impressive.

You usually don't see a math/science guy with a music side.

Nice combo.

He probably could have gone pro if it hadn't been for that pesky science career.

I'm glad he ended up on his feet.

This science career might work out for him if he really tries...

I'm also surprised that modern violins are preferred to the old expensive ones.

I wonder what the difference is.

Better materials?

I thought the old ones were really expensive.

Maybe just the stravarious's.

I know those go for millions!

I wonder if they are easier to play.

I want to listen to the piece that Haydn wrote, where the musicians gradually leave the stage.

Were they going on strike?

In 2002 a Creed concert was so bad that four concert goers filed a lawsuit against the band.

That's gotta be a bad show!

I guess Creed must've been high or out of practice.

I've been to bad concerts, but I never thought about suing.

I remember this and he laid on the stage for like 1 hour silent and then called it artist interpretation...

Yes, that's EXACTLY what the audience paid for.

The Ramones know how to do it.

Over 2000 concerts?

I wonder when they slept.

After the copious amount of drugs and alcohol wore off.

They were crazy!

I would be afraid to got to their shows and I'm 6'6" and 250 pounds!

They could have hired you as a stage bouncer.

Just leather up and grease your hair back.

People would respect you.

What about Linkin Park?

Have you seen them?

Except if someone with a Napoleon Complex tries me, I would be the worst bouncer in the world.

Trust me, drunk short people tried me all the time in my younger days.

Ok, then you could see Pink Floyd when they play Pompeii.

No risk there.

At least there wouldn't be idiots yelling out MONEY!!

Maybe it's the same idiots at every concert yelling out the same stuff.

Whipping post!

Nice chatting with you!


Hi Do you like going to concerts or watching them online?

Yes I love concert!

I saw Linkin Park a lot, but I did not see them 324 times in a year LOL that's how many times they toured back in 2001

That must have been after their released their highly succesful debut album.

Did you ever see the Ramones?

Yes I did, they tour are a lot too!

they did over 2000 concerts in only 20 years

Wow.

That's a lot of touring.

In Croatia, there is still an ancient Roman amphiteatre that is still used for concerts.

That would be a neat place to see a show in.

Yes I wish I could have seen the Pink Floyd concert at the Roman Amphitheatre, that was in Pompeii though and back in 1972

Wow.

Wonder if there's any video of that?

In 2002 Creed played a show that was so bad that 4 of the people in the crowd filed a lawsuit against the band.

Yikes!

That would be embarrassing!

Remind me never to watch a Creed concert LOL.

Do you like classical music by the way

lol  I've found a like it more the more that I've gotten older.

Yeah me too.

I actually play classical music on the piano.

Did you know that classical music concerts can have really wild audiences while they are performing

Awesome that you play!

I can't get my fingers in tune with my mind to play.

lol  I didn't know that about audiences.

I always pictured really quiet audiences.

In 2011 a computer composed a piece of contemporary classical music.

That is cool, it's funny to that in Australia there is a mall that will play classical music to scare teenagers away LOL that way they don't loiter

That's funny!

lol  There's a man named Arthur Lintgen and he can correctly identify a piece of classical music by analyzing the grooves on a vinyl record.

That's pretty incredible!

That is definitely a talent!

And like I mentioned, apparently a city will also use classical music to deter crime, that's what they should have used instead of Robocop LOL

lol yes!
Did you ever try to play the violin?

I have a violin but I can't play it, what about you?

I never did.

My daughter too lessons at one time.

She gave it up sadly.

There is a violin made out of stone that is fully playable.

Wonder how it sounds?

Yes I wonder that as well.

I also wonder how Albert Einstein sounded playing violins, apparently he was really good at it as well as being a genius

He was pretty gifted.
He could also play the piano!

That is incredible!

Did you know that Larry from The Three Stooges could actually play the violin really well?

They are going to send him to the conservatory

Wow.
I never knew that!
It was nice chatting with you!


Do you like to go to concerts?

Yeah, but I don't have much money and I don't know many musicians, especially contemporary music like John Corigliano.

Did you know that Linkin Park played 324 concerts in 2001 alone?

No, what was the name of the tour and I don't know them very much, they seems as popular as ABBA.

I've never heard of ABBA.
Who is that?

They are a Swedish band, very popular in the disco era, they recently turned down a 1 billion offer to reunite.

I guess they don't like each other anymore.

I've never heard of them.

Interesting, did you know that the Ramones played 2,263 concerts?

That is a lot, in how many years they did this ?

It took them about 20 years.

That is around 100 concerts per year, it is a lot but it is doable.

I hope they don't play as loud as Deep Purple.

Do they play really loud?

They have the world record for the loudest concert, 3 people in the crowd lost consciousness because it was too loud.

The Foo Fighters also give loud concert.

Interesting.
I didn't know that.
Did they get in trouble?
I've seen the Foo Fighters.

The Foo Fighters did not get in troubles, but they gave a concert so loud that it showed on seismic monitors.

Yeah, I like Dave Grohl, have you seen them live?

No, never, but I have heard that Dave Grohl is a good musician.

Have you seen the Foo Fighters in concert ?

Yeah, I saw them and I've seen Dave Grohl play with Queens of the Soned Age also.

That must have a been a loud concert as opposed to the 2010 Lou Reed's concert for dogs.

Yeah, it was actually pretty good.
I'm a big fan.
Well, nice chatting with you.

You too, I wish you plenty of concerts.

Maybe you you try classical music, studies have shown that people who like heavy metal and people who like classical have similar tastes.

Take it easy, have a good rest of the day.


Are You a fan of Linking Park band ?
;)

Absolutely!

Pretty sad about their lead singer Chester Bennington though.

Yes... he had an amazing voice... did You hear that due to the success of their debut album, linkin park played 324 concerts in 2001 alone ?

I did,  thats amazing!

The ramones played a total of 2,263 concerts...they toured almost non stop for over 20 years.

That must be tiring!

and fun!

Hey :) what happens on a tour stays on a tour :) but realistically they could get married on a tour and have a happy 20 years together !

:) lol

In croatia, there is an ancient roman amphitheatre that is still in use as a concert venue

wow, that's something I would like to see.

And during the concert I wonder what sound acoustic does that place have :)

Probably amazing!

In 2002 a creed concert was so bad that four concert goers filed a lawsuit against the band

bad meaning the performance ?
Or maybe too loud or something ?

Could mean a lot of things,  the fact doesn't go into too much detail.

In 1972, pink floyd recorded a live concert at the ancient roman amphitheater in pompeii...with no audience - did You see the DVD ?

I loved it ;)

No I didn't.

Good to know though!

Classical music concerts had loud, moving, wild audiences during the performance.

The one in Pompei was quite psychodelical :) not everybody like something like that ;)

haha that would be trippy.

A man named arthur lintgen can correctly identify a piece of classical music by simply analyzing the grooves on a vinyl record.

Sounds like a scam ;) sorry, that's one of those things I would have to see to believe :)

Maybe,  I wouldn't know if he was lying or not though,  because I know nothing about classical music lol A shopping center in australia is using classical music to stop teenagers from loitering

ok  - how the heck does that work ?

Teenagers don't like this music, but it's not scary or anything like that :)

Maybe they put that frequency in it that makes humans feel fear

Or maybe they hit that mystique tone that makes all humans poop ;) lol

Oh geea,  I feel bad for those teenagers !

In 2011 a computer composed a piece of contemporary classical music.

I don't believe a machine can create music on a decent quality level...

Maybe.

Alright, it was great chatting with You !

You too!

Have a great night ;)


Hello!

did you know that months before Apollo 11 NASA had seriously considered placing a UN instead of an American flag on the mood?

Good morning!
No, I did not know that!
Very interesting.

I didn't either!

The highest point on the moon is 1938 meters higher than Mt.

Everest!

Looks like we'll be learning of new things about the moon today.

lol

I wonder if anyone has been to the top?

Do you know what the average age was of mission control during the first moon landing?

I doubt it!
lol  ...and I have no idea.

The average age was 28.

Even back then I bet that generation wasn't getting the credit they deserved!

lol I bet not.

Phobos, which is the largest moon around Mars is one third hollow!

Oh, that is weird.

Surprisingly there is an asteroid with its own moon in our solar system.

That sounds creepy.

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

That's even creepier!

Strange moon rock fact, astronauts from Apollo 11 had to declare moon rocks through customs upon return to Earth!

Now that's funny!

How ridiculous though they made them do that.

Do you like birds?

Yes, I love birds.
I feed them all the time.
Odd that birds have regional accents.

I didn't know that.
That's pretty interesting!

Well, if you like interesting bird facts, here's another: Pigeons are one of 3 birds that produce milk for their young!

So, what about you, do you like birds?

Wha!

I didn't know that.

Yes I do.

I have a pigeon fact....The extinct dodo bird is actually a sub-family of pigeon.

Oh, that is interesting.

Did you know that crows are among the most intelligent of birds?

That I've heard before.

I find it amazing that some birds can migrate from Alaska to Northern Mexico without sleeping.

That's amazing.

It would be interesting to hear crows imitate human speech since they are capable of doing so.

That would be neat!

I wonder why people don't like crows?

In most birds, their bones are so hollow that the entire skeleton weighs less than the feathers!

That would make sense since they can fly.

They wouldn't be able to be too heavy.

Yes!
Wish I was like that so I could fly!
lol  It's been nice chatting with!

Yes, it's been nice chatting with you as well.

Have a good day.


Hey there do you like the moon?

I like looking outside right now and seeing it because it's so pretty

It is pretty incredible.

The highest point on the moon is 1938 M higher than Mt Everest!

That is amazing!

I'm just shocked they were going to put a for the UN instead of the American flag on the moon initially

I know.

It would kinda defeat the point of the Space Race.

Yep I agree with you.

Did you know that Moon dust is actually very powerful and harmful to humans, it could even cut through Kevlar

Wow.

I am surprised they havent tried to use it to make something stronger than Kevlar then, but if humans couldnt touch it it would do us little good.

Yep that's true.

What do you think about Saturn's moon?

It's called Titan and there may be evidence that there is life on there actually

I think that is awesome, although it is methane based life, and other life in the universe could be an amazing thing.

I still think it would be interesting to find life in outer space LOL.

What do you think about Birds by the way?

I love that they are delicious like the chicken I just ate

Birds are tasty.

LOL  I think it is neat that hummingbirds steal spiderwebs to fix their nests..

I think so, I wonder how the birds of Australia can mimic certain sounds, like they can sound like a camera or a car alarm LOL that's crazy

That would be funny to hear.
A bird sounding just like a car alarm.

Yeah or even a chainsaw LOL that would scare me LOL

For real, imagine that flying at you.
Id be running.
lol

On a different topic what do you think about YouTube?

I use YouTube almost everyday

I use it so much!
I even use it as a teaching tool!

That's cool what kind of teaching?

It's crazy that it was started by only a couple of people back in 2005 and then sold to Google in 2006 for at 1.65 billion dollars

General Music.

So many great videos, the kids love the how its made videos.

Oh that makes sense.

What is crazy is that YouTube is the second largest search engine on the internet and YouTube and Netflix together make up half of all internet traffic

Id believe it.

Gangnam style got so many views they had to update the view counter.

LOL you're right about that, I remember when everyone is watching that, what do you think about the police version of YouTube called Bluetube?


Do you use youtube?

Yes i do.

It is the second largest search engine on the net

Weird how I never thought of youtube as a search engine like google or bing

It is actually a subsidiary of Google!

Maybe that is why.

It was purchased in 2006 for 1.65 billion

Youtube was purchased by google?

Yes it was.

And was actually created by 3 former Paypal employees

That is cool.
I never new that

Netflix and Youtube make up half of peak internet traffic.

Thats a lot of eyes!

I wouldn't be surprised

Gangnam style got so many views they had to change the view counter

And justin bieber's baby is the most hated

It was recently surpassed by Youtubes own video this passed year.

Peopple must have really hated it to dislike it more than baby!

Did you know the police their own youtube called blutube?

I did not.

There really should be a space one.

I would love to see more things about the moon

Did you know moon dust is harmful to humans?

It also cuts through kevlar.
Thats really scary

And causes moon hay fever

I wonder what has more epic views.

Mt everest, or the highest point on the moon

I think both would be mind blowing

Our moon is the fifth largest in the solar system.

How cool

Did you know nasa considered putting a un flag instead of the american one on the moon?

have a great day!


Hello.
How are you.

Hi I am good!
How about you?

Doing great, thanks.

I did not know that YouTube was created on 2005.

I thought it was 2000

Oh wow, I didn't know that either!

It's a good place to watch video's and learn about anything!

I love Youtube.

Me too and my toddler is addicted to it which I don't think is good.

Justin Bieber's baby song is the most disliked video on youtube?

how crazy is that?

I though young people love Bieber

Really?

I thought that was one of his biggest hits!

It is crazy that Youtube is the 2nd largest search engine on the net, that's huge!

I know, it was really big few years ago.

2nd is a big deal since there are ton of search engine out there.

I know!

And it's kinda funny but smart that The Police actually have their own youtube called blutube....very smart!

Yeah, it is worth checking out.

My husband like like that information since he is a fan of Cops.

I still remember when Psy's gangnam style era, we use to dance that song like crazy.

Oh cool I will check it out!

That song was so popular, I remember!

I didn't know that Google bought Youtube, for 1.65 billion!

That's a lot of money

Yeah it was a good move for Google, I bet YouTube is worth way more now.

People use it all the time.

Oh yeah, Youtube has to be worth billions now, it has grown so much!

You can literally find anything on there.

I have learned a lot by Googling youtube videos.

Yep, I actually fix our garage door by watching a video on YouTube.

I did not know Einstein can play piano and violin.

That's good to know!

Very interesting.

In 2006       a group of people reached the top of britain's highest mountain and found a piano!!!

That's odd lol

Lol yeah it is odd.
How can a piano get in there?

I don't know hahahaa, that's like a huge mystery.

I may have to look that up lol!

I used to play Piano but I also wanted to play the Violin but never did, I love the sound so much.

Yeah, I play a little bit when I was a child but it was not for me, my fingers are short lol.

Really?

I have very long fingers lol.

I need to start playing again.

Did you know there is a violin that is made of stone...and it is 100% playable, how interesting!

I imagine it will be uncomfortable to play, weight and all.

Definitely!

My granddaughter just started playing the violin, it can be so nerve wracking lol but she's only 9.

Wow that great, I believe it is good to start kids early when learning musical instrument.

It was nice talking to you.

Have a great day.

Have agreat day!


Are you a fan of youtube?

Yes, although I do not like the recent changes they have made to their website.

Which changes were those, I must have missed them

They did some changes to how their algorithms work, and so far the community has hated it, but Youtube is doing anything despite all the hate they're getting.

dang, I wonder if it will be worth it in the end.

Were you into the gangnam style craze years back?

I have to admit the song was catchy, and I did enjoy it.

In fact, the video got so much views youtube had to upgrade the view count integer.

Right I hated the dance craze, but very catchy.

It almost broke youtube with that!

Well Youtube is a very large service, it is the second largest search engine on the internet.

wow, I didn't know that.

I bet it is behind Google, I think Google owns it

Google does, there are also other media cooperations that have partnerships with youtube.

Nice that is awesome.

Were you one of the many people who disliked Baby by Justin Bieber?

No, but the dislike count seems to be doing fine without me, Baby is the most disliked video on Youtube.

I was one of the dislikers lol, terrible song.

Do you play any instruments?

No, but I do look up to people who do, especially the violin or piano.

Their hands must be very tired after playing!

I used to play piano, but I am not too good anymore.

IT may be like riding a bike but don't have the time anymore.

Well, I sometimes listen to electric violins in rock music or jazz fusion.

That sounds really awesome, electric violins?

Ya, they may not be made of wood, and they can have a electric pickup, amplifier and speaker.

I want to youtube some of those, that interests me a lot!

It was so nice chatting with you!

You too, have a nice day!

Thanks you also!


Do you watch youtube?

I do!
You can truly find anything on there!

Right, it is the second largest search engine right after google

It definitely accounts for a lot of traffic, along with Netflix it is 50%

wow, that is a lot of internet traffic!

Were you ever into the gangnam style phase?

Eh, not really.
I maybe watched it once.

Yea me too, I had to dance in front of everyone at a wedding, it was not my proud moment in my life.

Apparently that song almost broke youtube

I wonder if it has more likes than Justin Beiber's Baby has dislikes.

Not quite, I heard that is the worst liked song ever on youtube, i agree!

lol

Same here.
It is pretty bad!

for sure lol!

Did you know police have their own youtube for their job called blutube.

I heard that.

I guess they post training videos there.

Pretty cool.

that is cool.

Do you watch bird videos on youtube at all.

I like birds

My favorite bird is the dodo bird!

That bird was awesome, sad it is extinct now.

I think pigeons are related somehow

That would explain a lot.

Did you hear about those wild birds in alaksa

I did, don't they migrate to mexcio or something?

Yeah, they so it without sleeping too!
Pretty crazy

No way!

I can't drive an hour without wanting to sleep lol.

It was so nice chatting with you!

Same here!
Great Chat!
Have a nice day!

You too, enjoy your day!


Hi, how are you doing on this peaceful evening on the Internet?

Hello, just wonder if I can sing like the 7 year old girl who was brave enough to sing the national anthem at the MLS game, can you sing?

I sing so bad that I have been banned by local gov't from doing it.

I think if I sang at an MLB game, the umpire would eject me.

Lol, I know how you feel but that doesn't stop me from singing privately!

Even with terrible voices, people are still brave enough to post themselves singing on Youtube, I guess nothing will stop them from wanting to be superstars.

It would not make me money, just make me a laughingstock.

I will restrict my singing to the shower.

Kudos to the little girl for her bravery though.

Yeah I agree, did you know that YouTube is the second largest search engine on the internet?!

Come to think of it, I think that's how Justin Bieber was discovered, I wonder what people search for on there.

People are looking for videos of themselves singing, no doubt.

Bieber has the most disliked vid on there.

Does he care?

No.

I know I'm guilty of being one of those contributors to peak internet traffic for Netflix and YouTube.

Speaking of, the police have their own YouTube called BluTube where they share law enforcement videos, is that legal?

I'm sure it is.

Oh ok, I think I prefer to watch videos of piano performances since its much more dramatic.

BBC even decided that since there were no news worth reporting, they just went ahead and played piano music instead.

I think some news channels should do that when they run out of quality material to report.

The Fox News report turned into a piano recital.

Maybe Fox would use Liberace.

Maybe.
Do you play any instruments?

No, I don't.
I do like the piano and violin.

Me too, I didn't know the violin was also called a fiddle, it's even made from wood, how expensive do you think they are?

I would guess quite expensive, depending on the age.

I think kids rent them because of the cost.

Oh ok, that seems a  bit more logical since kids may not continue playing after they realize it actually requires a lot of effort into learning how to play an instrument unless you're Albert Einstein who was also a musical genius as well

Einstein was an artist.

I think drawing on both sides of the brain is important.

I respect him.

He probably wasn't as funny as Larry Fine though.

I'm not familiar with Larry Fine, was he a comedian and is that a stage name?

He was in the Three Stooges.

He played the violin quite well.

He was a comedy genius, but not so good at science.

Oh ok, that makes more sense now.

I don't think electric violins are as popular as the traditional violins, which one do you like more?

Traditional ones seem appropriate for most settings.

I guess if you're playing heavy metal, you need amplification.

I also like the traditional violins as well though I am curious to hear what the violin made solely out of stone that is fully playable sounds like.


Hey there!
I've been browsing YouTube ALL DAY.
So bored!
How about you?

I actually watched the new Mortal Kombat trailer on youtube today, it's cool that youtube allows exclusive content on their platform

Yeah, YouTube is super popular.

It's the second largest search engine on the net.

Yea, each minute 400 hours of content is uploaded onto youtube, and most of it sucks lol

Yeah, but still so many people visit YouTube.

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

Wild.

Yea, it's pretty cool Baby by Justin Bieber is the most disliked video on youtube

Now THAT'S a pretty useless video.

I like to watch educational videos, actually.

I like to watch videos about space, the moon...things like that.

Yea I love reading about that stuff, did you know the apollo 11 astronauts considered placing a UN flag on the moon instead of the US?

I did not, but that sounds interesting.

I like space because there's so much we don't know about it.

I guess methane was just discovered on Saturn's moon, though!

Yea, I hope we are able to discover life one day on one of Saturn's moons

Me too.

Flying all the way up there, even with a satellite, is incredibly expensive and time-consuming.

And dangerous too.

The dust on Earth's moon can cut through Kevlar-like material and cause moon hay fever

Oh no!

Had no idea about that.

Maybe ONE DAY we'll discover some more cool things about space!

Yea, I'd love to find out more about Phobos, it is one third hollow, very strange for a moon

Funny that you mention hollow, because I just read a fact the other day that said that birds' bones are so hollow that their entire skeleton weighs less than their feathers...

Birds are such cool animals, especially Hummingbirds, they steal spider webs for their nests

I think it's especially interesting to read about migrating birds.

Yea, there are some birds that fly from Alaska to northern Mexico without sleeping

Aviation has always been so fascinating to me.

Between birds, outer space, and planes, my mind is always blown!

Yea I love learning about birds and how they evolved from dinosaurs

Which is why YouTube is so useful at times!

Sometimes.

Well it was nice talking with you, have a good day


do you know who Malea Emma Tjandrawidjaja is?

No I dont.
who is she?
what does she do?

she a 7 year old little girl who sang the national anthem at a MLS game and apparently she did marvelous.

Oh, thats great!

7 years old.

that is quite young.

i guess she has a great career ahead of her.

She hummed the first line to herself and then let loose.

All at that young age in front of such a large crowd.

That's remarkable.

i would have been terrified.
how did she get chosen?
what else has she done?

Well that performance in particular went viral!

she must be planning her next performance.

i bet she could go on the road during the summer and perform at MLB games.

I bet when she was only three she performed in a talent show at LA live in downtown Los Angeles.

this kid must be phenomenal.
does she also dance and act?
she could be huge.

I'm not sure but by the time she was 5 she played at Carnegie Hall.

I guess she plays the piano, or the violin?

Or both?

Wouldn't surprise me she going to be a prodigy.

They've given her a nick name of comic spitfire and say she stole heart right and left, wonderful.

Speaking of pianos, did you know that Freddie mercury used the same piano to record bohemian rhapsody as paul mccartney used to record hey jude?

I would this girl to have a chance to use that piano.

Yeah that would be pretty cool!

Emma based her singing style on Christina Aguilera.

that is a great role model.

I think the kid has a bright future.

by the way, did you know that there is a violin made out of stone that is fully playable?

Wow i wonder if the sound is somewhat different, do you know?

You can probably find out on youtube.

I bet it "rocks" pretty hard!

LOL.

An aluminum grand piano was built for the lounge of the airship hindenburg.

I wonder how it sounded.

Tinny?

I was concerned about the added weight but im pretty sure it was calculated in.

Yes, it did not weigh much.

i hope that it sounded good enough.

what about the piano found on top of britain's highest mountain?

I heard about that apparently it's a mystery as to how or who put it there.

Do you watch Netflix?

I used to watch netflix.

i dont now.

great shows, very convenient, very addictive.

LOL.

Anyway, great chat!

You too!

Netflix and youtube make up half of peak time internet traffic on the web.

Yes, everybody loves their video entertainment!

Right, Have a great day my friend!

Parting note Police have their own channel called BluTube.


Good morning!

Good morning!

I can still see the moon outside how about you?

Unfortantely I can't see it today due to the clouds.

It's lovely though!

It's the fifth largest natural satellite in our solar system!

That's amazing.

The dust on the moon is said to be able to cut through kevlar!

Whoa I didn't know that.

I need to watch some more Youtube univeristy lol.

Youtube is the second largest search engine on the internet!

It's got everything!

It really does!

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

Safe to say it's not going anywhere anytime soon.

Even the police have their own youtube blutube!

Media uses it as well like BBC.

It's crazy

It is.

Did you know Gangnam Style got so many view that they had to upgrade the view count integer to 64 bits?

I knew animal videos were super popular on there but I didn't know that.

People love bird videos.

Especially those where the birds sound like other things like car alarms.

The wild birds in australia can mimic all kinds of car noises and alarms!

I've heard that.

I couldn't imagine those living around here.

I also have a hard time fathoming that the dodo bird is a sub-family of pigeon.

That is weird.

A neat thing though is hummingbirds use spiderwebs to repair and build nests!

That's possibly the most adorable thing I'll hear all day.

They are so tiny and cute.

It's crazy to think about the fact that their bones are so hollow their entire skeleton weighs less than their feathers.

So fragile!

It's interesting when you think about how their digestive and respiatory systems are uniquely adapted just so they can fly!

Absolutely.

Fragile but strong too, some birds can fly from alaska to mexico without sleep when migrating.

That's more than I can do.

The only birds without known wings are the moa and elephant birds but both are extinct.

That's crazy!

It's also crazy how closely birds descended from dinosaurs and dramatically diversified around 66 million years ago.

It is!

And they  devolved wings dpending on the need for them.

Whether its flight or swimming.

Their social monogamy is very interesting as well.

Most just mate for one season but the species that mate for life are the most interesting.

Like some penguins and I believe some swans.

It's amazing.

Some male Penguins will also be in charge of keeping an eye over their eggs while the females go out and hunt.

I know, so cool.

It sucks that our activity on this planet threatens so many species with extinction.

Around 1200 bird species.

Like the Spix Macaw and the Alagoas foliage-gleaner from Brazil...

They aren't confirmed for sure gone yet but researchers are pretty certain.


Are you a fan of soccer?

I watch soccer, but I am trying to understand the entire game, only thing I know is when a team score.

Me too, lol.

I learned a lot more during this last World Cup, did you watch that at all?

I watched a few games, but not enough to understand what was going on.

I was with friends and cheer when a team score.

Me too, I was all about Brazil this last world cup since the US wasn't in it again

I see that they are one of the better teams, I wonder why the scores are so low?

It's hard to score.

I think everyone is just super good that it is hard to score lol.

Do you know Mesut Ozil?

No I don't think I do, that bad when I don't know any of the team members.

I just know him because he donated his world cup winnings to pay of kids in Brazil's surgeries

Wow, that was thoughtful of him, It would be nice if more wealthy people donate to different causes.

For sure.

Soccer makes more money than all the other sports combined.

I think they get more money because of this.

Yes you are right, did you know the american team never came in lower than third place since 1991, I am referring to the women team?

Yea, the men not so hot.

I think the men got 3rd place in the world cup once, in 1930!

Did you know american used the name soccer, because it is slang for association football.

I always knew it as soccer so that makes sense.

I never knew it was called association football to be honest

Do you like to wear boots or you prefer shoes?

Shoes for sure, but I like a good winter boot.

I needed them so much this year from this winter, you?

Yes, I bought two pairs, did you know Ugg boots were invented by surfers to keep their feet warm after leaving the cold water?

I never knew that, I could totally see it!

It was so nice chatting with you!

Jon Stewart was a skilled soccer player in college.

You have a good night also, nice chatting with you.

I would never have guessed that!
Enjoy your night!


Hello - how are you doing today?

Doing great.

That's good.

Do you like association football aka soccer?

Never really followed it.
I like American football though.

Did you know the city set to host the 2022 Qatar World Cup does not exist yet?

They have a lot of work to be getting done then huh.

Yes they do.

The Hungary national football team only had one defeat in 6 years and that was in the World Cup final.

That would be heartbreaking.

To win all year long and then lose in the world cup.

I guess that means they won at least 5 world cups in that time though.

That would be devastating.
The US got third place back in 1930.

Thats interesting.
Do you know who Jon Stewart is.

I do.
He played soccer didn't he?

He is a comedian but he played soccer.
He was pretty good to.

Soccer makes more money than most sports combined.

Thats understandable considering its popularity among non US nations.

I would say at least football and basketballl have it beat over here.

I agree.

Americans call it soccer because it was slang for association football.

I hear the US womens team is pretty good.

Yes, they are pretty good.

There exist a variation of soccer where 3 teams face each other at the same time.

The womens team has never placed below third since womens world cup started all the way back in 91

That's really good.
Do you like boots?

Yeah I guess.
They are very useful.

Did you know Ugg boots were invented by surfers?

I didnt know that.

I have never had a pair of ugg booots myself.

Me either.

The Nokia company got big by making rubber boots.

Thats interesting.

Well Im gonna have to be going have a good one.
