Wow that is a lot. They must've been good unlike Creed who is so bad that for concert goers filed a lawsuit against the band.


That must have been a horrible concert!  I've been to Pompeii, and to hear that Pink Floyd did a live recorded concert there would have been cool to hear!


Oh that would be epic. Yeah they played at the ancient Roman amphitheater must've been awesome.


Another hobby I like to do while listening to classical music is to read.  Do you enjoy reading?


Oh that's cool, but for me it would be distracting. I love to read. I want to read starship troopers because it is the first sci-fi novel on the reading list of three of the five US military branches.


Must be a great novel than!  There is a record of speed reading where Anne Jones had a reading speed of 4,700 words per minute.  I wonder if she could remember what she read.


Agreed. Wow I could never read that fast! Another book suggested by the military is enders game so I guess I need to add that to the list too.


Interesting, may have to check that out also.  It sounded like in the 18th century reading novels wasn't very well liked.  It caused a "moral panic" because of the spread of reading novels.


Wow that is pretty surprising. Maybe it's because there are no concrete laws in writing so that worried a lot of people. I will have to go look that up. But it was nice having this conversation with you I really hope you have a good day.


What do you think about drive-thru restaurants?


I love them, I can get in and out of my favorite restaurant faster!


I love my ford. I was the first American car company.


Have you known more women or men to own iPhones?


PRobably equal actually. Apple is pretty popular with both genders.


I think I've seen more men with them for some reason.


I got one of the first iPhones released in 2007


The software on the phones allows you to just about everything you can think of digitally.


Have you ever heard of the iPhone game "Send me to heaven"


No, I have only played Fruit Ninja and Candy Crush on my iPhone


Candy Crush is an enjoyable game, even on a small screen like a smartphone.


Do you have visual voicemail on your brand of phone like iPhone does?


Actually, no. You mean you can see a person moving on the message?


No, It types out the voicemail for you instead of having to listen to it when you can't


Oh, I think I've seen that but I don't have it.


I use mine for its GPS features the most


Would you shop at a store that sold the contents of unclaimed airline baggage?


Maybe, If I could see what was in the bag first


My family says I dress like a pilgrim so I need to shop at a store that can offer me more color


That is funny. Apparently pilgrims only wore black on holidays. I had no idea.


Do you play an instrument? I used to play the guitar, but could never get good at it. I wonder if I could play the banjo.


I don't play any instruments. I flunked the recorder test. I stink. Banjos are cool. I had no idea that there were different types of banjos!


They're beautiful, too. The gourd banjo has skin stretched over it and the gut strings. so it makes a deeper sound.


I prefer the guitar. Did you know that eddie van halen recorder a guitar solo for "beat it" and he set the studio speakers on fire.


Yes I did! Crazy. Guitars have 6 strings to a banjo's 5, so there's more sound to vibrate and create more complex sounds.


I can't believe that Brian May of Queen has a phd in astrophysics.


He also likes to use coins as his guitar picks.


Crazy right? I can't believe that. Did you know that Pakistan has a jazz orchestra that is currently topping the charts?


That's cool. Evidently, Clint Eastwood is a huge jazz enthusiast.


That is cool. Did you hear about the harlem woman who has held free jazz concerts at her apt. every sunday for 20 years?


Yeah, Eastwood also played the piano and scored several films.


I heard that including Million Dollar Baby. That was a great movie! Now I need to go back and watch and realize that he scored that movie.


It's a little odd that he is a fan, considering that it began in African-American communities in the late 19th century, and Eastwood is notoriously racist.


I heard that Jazz trumpeters grew goatees to provide them comfort when playing....do you really think that helped?


I'm not sure, but just like jazz, I guess a goatee is just another way of expressing yourself.


Probably. Do you know why New York's area code is what it is?


I believe it was because it was the easiest to dial on a rotary phone. Why do you ask?


I just thought it was interesting. That is what I heard too. I think it is pretty cool that UNICEF will donate a day of clean water to a child in need for every minute you do not use your cell phone. I wonder how they know?


I'm you can download an app, maybe? Iphones are super powerful. They have a lot of computing power.


They amaze me. I had no idea until I read about it that there are cables carrying phone and internet data laying across oceans.


Yeah. The cords are only 2.7 inches in diameter!


That is nuts. I had no idea there were cables laying on the ocean floor.


I love to listen to the guitar. I have never learned to play. How about you?


I also love to listen to the guiter. I never learned to play. But the guitar is a fretted musical instrument that usually has six strings.


. Did you know that Matthew Bellamy hold a record for most guitars smahed onstage.


Yes, I know Bellamy made it into the Guinness Book of world records 2010. He currently holds the world record for the most guitars smashed on a tour 140 guitars.


Thats a lot of guitars to smash. Lol. The queens guitarist actually has a phd in astrophysics.


Brian Harold May, CBE is a enlgish musician, singer, songwriter and astrophysicist. He is the best known as the lead guitarist of the rock bank queen. He used a hame-built electric guitar called the Red Special.


Yeah, did you know he uses coins as guitar picks. He ususally uses the english sixpence.


The coin may uses only had silver in it until the 1940's and they were removed from circulation in the 1980's. May chose to use the sixpence as a pick because he found platic picks too flexible.


Really. That is interesting. now much about eddie van halen.


Edward Lodewijk Van Haien is a Dutch american musician. He was 1964 presents.


He is pretty good with a guitar for sure. When he recorded beat it. He literally set the stage on fire.


I love my phone. Dont know what I would do without it. Did You ever use a rotary phone?


In my childhood i use rotary phone. It was wonderful phone in that time. jump to push lbutton pulse phones in the UK.


Did you know that New Yorks area code is 212. They made it that because it was the fastet number to dial on a rotary phone.


Yes, i know. Rotary dial phones are analog, overse voice is digital so the rotary dial won't work. If you really want to use the old rotary dial phone to make calls, you can purchase an analog to digital converter,


I dont know, I kind of like the way phones work these day.


push-button phones were introduced in the us market in 1963.


I personally like my touch screen. Thanks for the nice chat. Have a goody day.


Same here. Nice chat with you. have a good day to you.


Hi, I'm good. I was just thinking about how spoiled I am. I have Netflix, media services headquartered in Ca. It's a subscription. Have you heard of it?


I have heard of it. I actually use Netflix myself. We get it for free through T Mobile.


Oh, nice! Netflix has 127 million subscribers! People almost everywhere can get it. Initially it was a DVD rental via mail.


That's crazy! I saw that from 9pm-12am, Netflix accounts for 33% of all network bandwidth throughout America.


I have heard that too. Along with Youtube together they make up 1/2 of peak internet traffic in north america.


That's a lot! Netflix spends 20 times more on postage than bandwidth which is interesting.


I agree. So, in other thoughts I have been thinking about dogs. It amazes me that the dog is related to wolves. In fact the dog and wolf are ancestors.


I love dogs. I can't believe there are 12 different blood types for dogs.


Wow! I did not know. Some places have dog vending food machines for homeless dogs.


I saw that. It's pretty cool because it's in exchange for plastic bottles so it also helps out the environment.


Yes, amazing. Dogs are also not colorblind, they just can not see as many colors as humans can.


I always thought they were colorblind so that's interesting and good to know.


So have you seen Amazon in the news? They were founded by Jeff Bezos in 1994.


Yep, I've been following it with all the scandals going on with Jeff Bezos.


They are the largest internet retailer in the world.


I'm a prime member and use it at least once a week. What about you?


I have ordered things too. It started as a bookstore.


Did you know IMDB has been owned by Amazon since 1998?


No, I did not.Holy cow! The first Amazon customer had a building named after him, but only spent $27.95!


Hello, I love watching basketball, how about you?


Yes me too. DO you know who Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is?


Do I know who he is? Of course I do, he was the reason why the dunk was banned for a while in college! do you like him?


Yeah that is pretty amazing actually. Do you know who invented the sport?


I think some guy from kansas did, James Naismith. Did you know basketball coaches are the highest paid state employees in 39 of the 50 states?


Yeah that is mind blowing. Yeah it was him and he is the only losing coach in the history of U of Kansas too


That is crazy lol, you think he could have rigged it so he could have won.


Yeah I guess. Have you heard of the highest court in the land?


I have not heard of the highest court in the land, what is it?


Is is a basketball court in the US Supreme Court in the top floor of the vuilding


wow, that is awesome. I wouldn't mind playing ball there. Maybe they can ban the nicknames "tall black" in New Zealand.


yeah that sounds really strange to me too. On another topic do you enjoy reading?


I love reading, ever read starship troopers?


I have and I pleased to find out that it is in the reading list of military branches as well


The movie was awesome too, but so bad graphic wise, lol. CS Lewis is one of my favorite authors.


He is awesome. Apparently he and Tolkien had you laugh you lose competitions when they read bad poetry together


that is awesome! I want to know which poetry was read, lol!


Yeah me too, I wonder also who won more. How about Ender's Game, have you read it?


Nice yeah me too that one seems to be n the recommended list for many military organizations too.


yes I do. Do you know which is the highest grossing basketball movie?


It is Space Jam and there is a sequel coming up


I know the name but do not know much about him


He is the guy that used the dunk shot so much that it got banned for a while


Wow cool. Did you know that the sport was invented at the YMCA


Nice it was by a guy named James Naismith who was a coach at U of Kansas too


Nice. Shaw has only scored a 3 pointer once in his career


I love dogs. Did you know that they can learn up to 1000 words?


Yeah and they understand pointing too, like elephants


Yeah and they also can reason better than chimps


Interesting. It has been found that they like solving problems to get rewards too


Nice. Google is a dog company, they have it in their code of conduct


Wow I agree with them. In Moscow dogs know how to use the subway now


WOw smart. They are also not colorblind but just see fewer colors


Oh that is cool. Nice chatting with you today


Absolutely! I enjoy dramatic stage and screen productions as well as radio programs. How about you?


Yeah, Hugh Laurie is great! Do you know if he teaches masterclasses for drama students like Patrick Stewart?


I have not heard of him doing that but you never know. He got paid enough to just live now


I'll say!  He does not need to teach with all his money. Do you know how much he was paid to do the show, House?


Yeah he was paid $700 000 per episode, that is insane


Nuts!  I wonder if he ever did any Soap Operas? You know why they called them Soap Operas?


Because the daytime TV shows were often sponsored by soap companies because housewives were the audiences, and they did the family laundry.


wowww, never knew that. do you know jim carrey?


Sure! He was great in the movie, The Mask....among others. I dont see him in as many shows as of late. I wonder why?


he has moved away from dramas because they do not convey positivity


Good for him!   Hey, did you ever watch that show called, "Ikea Heights" ?


It was a melodrama filmed entirely in a Burbank Ikea store, without the store knowing!  Pretty wild,. You could be an employee at Ikea and not even know you are a TV star!


wow, that is very different. do you like dogs?


I love dogs. I have a GSD.  Did you know a dog can learn over 1000 words?


that is remarkable. and they understand pointing


Sure do! And in Moscow, some of them have learned how to use the subway!  I hope they share their seat!


Wow, hahhaa that is a good one. nice chat


I do, I use it all the time.  Did you hear how they mow their lawns.


I suppose they do it like everyone else: they use their goats. Don't you?


If the goats get stock options, then you can sign me up! I'll eat grass!


Same here.  Although google describes themselves as a dog company.


I would agree with them on that score. Dogs are good to have in an office. Good for morale. Keep people happy.


They do, I wonder if those happy people are the 7% that reads the full TOS.


I am surprised that it's even 7%. Ithought maybe 1% if that. Do you read them? I don't.


I dont, I think I did one time, a long time ago when they were a lot shorter, and never again.  Who knows what I have actually agreed to.


Yes, you have to give them your first born and part of your soul. Something like that. I figure the ToS must be about personal data at this point.


Eh, Never having kids, and I have already promised my soul to a few different people, so they get nothing... lol


Those ToS writers should have thought ahead! LOL. I'm more worried about the time I spend on the Internet. Constant novelty from clicking links on the internet can cause real addiction measurable in the brain


It is true.  I wonder if that makes online gambling more addictive?


Oh, I BET it does. LOL. Gambling and Internet are very similar. I wonder how people can break the addiction.


I know I cant break my internet addiction.  As someone how has been on opioid  pain meds, it was easier to get off of those than get rid of sugar in my diet and cut down on internet time.


Yes, sugar is also bad. It's easy to get and the high is subtle. Maybe you could go to the top of Everest to deal with the sugar addiction.


Yup, but there is internet there, so Id only be half way there. But hey, I can facebook my achievement from there.  Lol


Yes, selfies in the clouds. Don't understand the need for a signal there. Probably a satellite link or something.


Likely so, or something to help climbers with navigation.


That's true. Could be for legitimate purposes. Anyway, great chat!


Hello do you know many facts about the sun?


I do not know much. he is a giant fellow in the sky.


Ha!  Yes...the sun is the star at the center of the solar system.


Yes, he has occupied that central position for quite a while, and probably will continue for years.


Yes!  It's a nearly perfect sphere of hot plasma!


Yes, it provides energy for every system on our planet. it does an outstanding job supporting us.


It's mass is bout 330,000 times that of Earth.  Giant for sure!


Yes, it has most of the mass, which is good, because it keeps us in orbit.


Did you know that the sun is actually white and only perceived as yellow because of atmospheric scattering?


i heard that. boy the atmosphere is a trickster. i heard that the sunsets on mars are blue.


That would be neat to see!  A lightening bolt is hotter than the surface of the sun...about 5 times hotter!


The surface of the sun is pretty hot, too! I wish we took more energy from the sun.


Yes because the sun produces enough energy in one second to meet the needs of the entire planet for 500,000 years!  So the power is there for sure.


The power is there, we just need to capture and store it somewhere. that is also an issue.


Yes.  Talking about how big it is....it's relatively small in the big picture of the galaxy....the sun is only 1 billionth the size of the biggest star discovered in  our galazy!


It is a modest star, but it serves our needs well. i am glad that he will be around for the next billion years or so. LOL


lol  On July 11, 2011 Neptune completed its first full orbit around the sun since its discovery in 1846.


Neptune was always a bit slow. it lagged behind the rest. maybe one day it will catch up.


lol Jupiter's moon Ganymede would be considered a planet if it orbited the sun.  I've had fun chatting!


I have had fun chatting too! Have a great day!


Good deal. Did you know that Lebron James and Stephen Curry were both born in Akron Ohio?


That is neat. I love it that Tim Duncan of the Spurs stayed in college 4 years instead of going into the nba. That is unheard of today!


That was really smart. You never know in sports if you are going to have a short career. He made sure he had something to fall back on.


True! Did you know that shooting granny style is the best technique. But everyone feels like it looks ridiculous so they won't do it.


I didn't know that. But I do know that that was the only way I could shoot a free throw when I was young.


I don't know much about him, but I guess he pretty good.


He is pretty amazing. He was the star of the golden state warriors in 201.


Yes. I was reading that he was the first player to win the MVP by a unanimous vote.


He is that good! Curry is currently signed with Under Armour because Nike had such a bad pitch.


I say good for Under Armour. Nike has had it their way for a long time. I like Under Armour products.


Changing the subject a little. The dutch are creating a commuter bus that can travel 160 miles per hour.


That is cool. Have you ever been to Mackinac island?


No I haven't where is it, and have you been there?


I haven't but I have relatives that live close. Everything is horse drawn carriages or you can take a bike.


So they don't allow motorized vehicles at all?


Nope. Not at all! I kind of like that. It makes the island so peaceful!


It would be nice. I know I like to hike in the desert and get away from all the sounds of the city.


The only problem is I don't guess you can stop the occasional airplane from flying over.


How do you feel about Buzzfeed? Many, like Gene Weingarten, would criticize it.


Buzzfeed is an online media source that basically has "articles" that are lists of things like "Top 10 Things to Do on a Lazy Sunday" or "25 Best Tourist Activities to do in San Francisco". It's very popular with millennials nowadays


Oh. Well technically I am a millennial. I actually found that out about a week ago. Lol. I dont know. I dont really get into reading articles on the internet to much. It seems like everything on there they are trying to sell you something in some way.


Yeah I agree. The internet can be so addictive. Science has actually supported that clicking on many different, new links online can produces effects in your brain similar to addiction! How often do you go online?


I am on the internet everyday. In some way shape or form. Did you know the 3 horizontal line menu on apps and websites is called a hamburger menu.


That's so funny. I always see that and now I know what that is. I'm on the internet all the time now, for surveys or for my full-time work or for Netflix or general fun things. I love reading online articles, especially about psychology, I think it's such an interesting field! Do you know of any psychology experiments?


No. Never really been to into that sort of thing. Im more of the outdoor type. Unless its freezing cold like it has been lately.


I live where it's warm so I don't have that problem fortunately. Have you heard about the Milgram experiment? I learned about it in school. They basically led people to believe they were torturing other participants behind a closed door because they were told to by an authoritative figure. How crazy is that? And unethical!


That is crazy. What was the, I mean what were they trying to learn from doing that experiment.


So basically in the experiment, the participant was sat down in front of some buttons and an authoritative researcher told the participant to push a button that would send an electric shock to someone next door whom the participant didn't know. The researchers wanted to know if the participants would do it, even though they really didn't want to torture the innocent person. Most people actually went along with it!


Really. There is no way- Unless they told me it was a pedophile in the other room or something like that. Then, Maybe.


We all think that, but who knows what would happen if we thought we were forced to push the button. That's the whole point of the experiment, that a normal person can become swept up with acts of cruelty and torture to others if they're told to do it by an intimidating, authoritative figure. They used it to explain how some people did what the Nazi regime told them to even though they weren't just terrible human beings


Well I guess that makes sense. I didnt really think of it that way. The Nazi example is a good one.


Yeah. So I understand why that would be on the list of "25 most influential psychology experiments". But I didn't know about Gene Weingarten's Joshua Bell subway phenomenon! Do you know what it is?


No I do not. Is it another crazy one like before. Lol.


Basically they had this world-renowned violinist play the most intricate and masterful pieces on one of the most expensive violins in the world in a subway station, and almost every single person just walked on by and didn't pay attention to this famous and immensely talented musician


I dont know maybe thats a big city thing, because there is a guy who plays his banjo outside of the gas station close to my house. There are always people giving him change and talking to him. He is pretty good though, and he really gets into it.


That's awesome! I think that the age of the internet has allowed stories like these to go viral, and now people understand what they miss out on when they don't pay attention to what's around them


Yeah that may be true. I know the internet has really changed the world. I would say mostly for the better.


I would agree with that! Although it can be addictive, it's also very informative.


Hey there what's your favorite musical album? I know that I like Pink Floyds dark side of the moon


That's cool. I think that's the best selling album of the 21st century so far isn't it? I also like Led Zeppelin's albums. I like all of them haha.


I generally enjoy all music, except heavy metal. I personally am starting to explore rap


You should listen to the twins from Japan then. They made a rap album when they turned 100 LOL it came out in 1992 I wonder how it is


Regardless of the quality, I'm sure it was a memorable and significant experience for them


Yes I think so. You should also check out NWA. Their album Straight Outta Compton was a massive success, even though they didn't tour and didn't have any radio play for it


What would you say is the key highlight of rap?


I think I would say that it is the rhyming. And also the Poetry like phrasing, I think that not too many people make poetry anymore, but I know there was a lot of rap these days. What about you, what do you think?


Yes I agree with you. Do you ever listen to Tupac Shakur or Eminem by the way? Eminem's favorite superhero when he was growing up with Spider-Man haha I don't know why I know that


Do you like Eminem though? Apparently a judge gave a ruling to him in the form of a rap LOL talk about awkward


I wonder how good her rapping was. I guess he was served in a way he understood


Haha that's a good point. Maybe she wanted to speak his language LOL have you ever watched a diss Battle Before? Where rappers diss each other? well in Korea they have raps called compliment battles lol they should start that here


I guess compliment battles are the complete opposite for diss battles


Yep I think you're right. Have You Ever Seen The Rugrats Movie by the way? Apparently Busta Rhymes does a voice in it


I have seen a few episodes, but never the movie.


I love that show when I was a kid. I need to check it out, I did see the movie but it was a long time ago. Have you ever heard of the band Reel Big Fish by the way?


No it's a band actually. They lost their rights to their old record label, and so they just remade all their songs on the new one LOL that's really smart


Remember when collections of music were called "albums" instead of CDs or MP3s?


That was back in the day lol, but I had so many!


Me too... Do you have any by Linkin Park?  "Hybrid Theory" is the best selling of the 21st century.


I never knew that, I own that one! I also have NWAs album, ever heard?


Nope.  I also haven't heard the two 100-year-old identical twins in Japan do their rap in 1992.


It went platinum without air play or tours needed! It is that good. I would love to listen to these twins rap, ever heard?


Nope.  I think it's wild that Eminem wanted to be a comic book artist before a rapper.


I would love to see his comics. I am sure they are worth a lot. Do you remember Busta Rhymes?


Yeah, he did the voice of the Reptar Wagon in 1998 for the Rugrats Movie.


For sure, i loved that movie as a kid! I was 10. are you a tupac fan?


Not really but then again, I've never seen him do a ballet thing.  I guess his music is in the Library of Congress.


and it is under the genre cultural signficance


Well, our current culture will be know for all of its expletives.  Korean rappers have invented a new form of rap called "compliment battle".


Ha if only they had a show right now on TV i would watch that. it would be better than what is out there now. do you have a favorite celebrity?


Not really, I'm pretty disgusted with Hollyweird right now.  I really do miss Robin Williams.


For sure, I miss him too. He was the first actor to start the trend of voice in animating films


Yeah, that's cool.  Carol Burnett was cool for showing up on Sesame Street.


I haven't seen that, she started that trend too apparently! Are you into Pixar movies?


Yeah, they have made many good ones.  I would like to see their secret room but I'm not a celebrity.


For sure, maybe we could pose as a celebrity and see the secret room, what do you think?


It's worth a shot! Hey thanks for the chat.  You ruled!


How's it going, did you know fox news is provide in 86 countries?


Yes, I did know that and its broadcasted overseas territories worldwide with international broadcasts featuring Fox Extra segments during ad breaks.


It would of been cool if fox new corp created a channel that only showed the simpsons


Yes, I agree but Fox News threatened to sue the Simpsons in order to stop them from parodying it famously anti-democratic party agenda.


That's pretty ironic Fox would threaten to sue The Simpson when they share the same network


True.  In 2007 Fox News tried to have a conservative version of "the Daily Show" called "The 1/2 Hour News Hour" but it was cancelled after 13 episodes.


That's pretty funny it got cancelled but I'm not surprised it got cancelled, Fox news creators Ailes and Nixon don't seem like funny people


Yeah, not only that but in 2015 the median viewer age for Fox News was 68 years old.


Yet fox news is still watched more than cnn and msnbc combined


True. The percentage of airtime on Fox News dedicated to opinion is 55% and for MSNBC it's 85%.


That's crazy. It's crazy how much trouble people on news networks get into, like Tom Brokaw from NBC News


Well, this a crazy universe we live in.  Did you know that our universe may exist inside a black hole?


No I didn't, but I did hear that there is a theory that there is only one electron in the universe


Yes, I heard that too.  Add to that, the universe used to be completely opaque because there was so much plasma that light couldn't travel through it.


That's insane. Apparently there are stars cold enough to be touched by a human hand in the universe


And that the deepest note in the universe is emitted by a black hole producing a note 57 octaves below middle c.


The universe is very strange, especially if it turns out to be one giant superhologram


It depends on our definitions, really. If you could fold a piece of paper in half 103 times, it would be as thick as the observable universe.


That's pretty crazy although there may being a region in space pulling galaxies outside the observable universe


Yes, and there is a cold spot in the cosmic microwave background that has been theorized to be a link to a parallel universe.


Spooky. Well I got to go, nice chatting with you


I enjoy lots of different kinds of music. How about you?


I mostly listen to rock but I like rap and pop as well. Did you know that Linkin Park's Hybrid Theory is the best selling album of the 21st century? I find that very surprising.


I didn't know that but i do like linkin Park, shame what happened.


It is a shame. But that means they sold more than any Beatles album which is crazy to me. I don't think it has nearly the staying power.


You might be right. The album Dark side of the moon even after being released forty years later was still the best selling album in 2014.


See that makes sense to me. I also heard that NWA's Straight Out of Compton was the first album to reach platinum without radio airplay.


Yeah that sounds about right. nothing stranger than the identical twins from Japan releasing a rap album when they turned 100 years old in 1992.


Japanese rap on it's own seems strange but coming from two 100 year olds it's even stranger. Do you listen to any rap?


Not really any more but Tupac was a favorite of mine. You?


I'm with you. I like the older stuff but very little newer stuff. Tupac Shakur actually has his music in the library of congress because it is deemed to have cultural significance.


That's cool. Did you hear that a judge tried to rap her verdict against a suit filed against eminem. I would like to have heard that.


That sounds so cringe worthy. I would be too embarrassed to watch. Apparently Eminem wanted to be a comic book artist.


Yeah i heard that. Apparently his favorite super hero was old Spidy.


Not a bad pick. I had no idea that Busta Rhymes voiced the Reptar wagon in the Rugrats movie until recently. How did I not pick out that voice?


Right! I do not understand this for the life of me. Why does Pixar have a room that is visited by celebrities OFTEN?


I was not aware of a Pixar room. I have no idea why they would want to visit that so much. Can anyone visit it?


Not sure i would if i could who knows what strange things are going on down there. Judge Judy get paid 123,000 an episode. wow!


Wow! I had no idea the audience for a judge show in the middle of the day was that big. Did you know that Robin Williams started the trend of big actors doing voice work with his role in Aladdin?


No but that makes since. I did know that Carol Burnett was the first celebrity to appear on Sesame Street.


I didn't either but I'm not surprised. She's amazing!


good morning! Are you a comedy fan? I love a good laugh!


I am too, but I have not heard ofMike sacks.


I am not sure who that is either? Did you know that Bill Murray thinks Kung fu hustle is the ultimate achievement in modern comedy? I have not seen it but it is hard to believe that it would be funnier than than Ground Hog Day


That was a funny movie but I have not seen it in a long time, but I might try reading one of these books maybe


Which one would you enjoy? Do you do audio books? I remember listening to the Brides of Madison County.


do like them but I prefer fiction, I wonder if the game of thrones would worth a listen. If a person can do 224 voices it must worth a listen.


I did not know that anyone could do that many voices. I would listen to Game of Thrones. Everytime I start to watch it, It gets so violent!


It only has a few violent scenes but the plot is worth it


Yikes. I will try again. Did you know that in 2016 audiobook sales grew 35% while ebooks dropped 21%? Maybe people are listening in the car more.


that is not a suprised but its better to be listening in your car rather than playing on your phone. But I like self driving cars have an agressive mode.


I would love a self driving car! Did you Know that Mcdonalds invented the drive thru for servicemen who were not supposed to get out of their car wearing fatigues?


I did not, I thought in And out developed the drive thru first


Mcdonalds did it in 1975. I dont think that In and Out has been around that long.


I guess not, but I wonder how long those cars had been in the barn that the man purchased in New York.


What garage? I have heard about people who found rare autos stored for years in barns and garages. . .


Nope. I don't have that bit of info. I did read that trunks of cars got their name from people that put real trunks on the back of their trucks.


Okay, I also learned that audi developed a stronger horn for the Indian market


Ha! That is funny. I drive an audi. Did you know that Cadillac was named after the French Founder of Detroit?


Interesting, I thought. Our economies are totally dependent on autos.


I thought they would be connected the polticians are always talking about cars in domestic manufacturing


Ford built cars that needed roads and gas, and on and on!


Yes it was nice talking with you have a good day


Good morning.  When was the last time you went on a first date?


Hello - I've been married for 9 years now and was dating my wife about 4 years prior so it's been a very long time lol. What about you?


Even longer than that.  Somewhere around 24 years now.  I do remember trying to get to know someone out of the blue, though.  That was never a fun experience.


LOL. Do you like telephones or know anything about them?


I know some.  As in a glancing history and some of the technology currently in use.  I wouldn't say it's a huge amount, though.


Did you know the inventor of the dial telephone was an undertaker who was convinced telephone operators were re-routing his calls to rival businesses?


That's paranoia for ya!  No, I didn't know that, though.  The one thing I have always thought was interesting, though, was that all international communication travels over only a few underwater phone lines that just sit on the ocean floor.


That is crazy how they just sit on the ocean floor. Did you know dolphins will communicate with one another over a telephone and appear to know who they are talking to?


I'm not entirely surprised by that.  In theory, dolphins may be only second to humans in terms of intelligence.


I've heard that as well. There is a luxury phone maker that hires the London symphony orchestra to record it's ringtones.


That seems a bit excessive to me.  Of course, I don't use any non-standard ring tones, so it's just not something I would use.


I think it sounds excessive too. 1930's actress Hedy Lamarr helped to invent the cellphone, wi-fi, and GPS.


It doesn't say. There is almost no correlation between cell phone connection quality and bars of service.


I've seen that in practice.  I know that the number of bars just tells you the strength of the signal, but it doesn't tell you if it's a clear signal.  Even a strong signal can have interference and give a bad call.


That's interesting. Do you know anything about the universe?


That's much more my area of interest.  I have my own theories on certain aspects, primarily regarding the expansion of the universe


Did you know if you could fold a piece of paper in half 103 times it would be as thick as the observable universe.


Surprisingly, folding it that many times would make it 10 nonillion  sheets thick.


I am shocked myself. The universe may exist inside of a black hole.


That would be one of the theories I disagree with.  Just like the theory that there is only 1 electron in the universe.


Pretty crazy that the analyst who angered so many Koreans was hired only for the Opening Ceremonies.


I know!! He misused his position to pit Japan against Korea. His role was just to give an overview of Japan but he was obviously mistaken in what he was required to do


I didn't realize that there is only one episode of the Simpsons where Bart neither appears or is mentioned. Pretty interesting.


Yes it is! When South Park finished its final episode, the Simpson's crew sent the producers flowers. That was kind of them.


I saw that. It is very interesting. I didn't know that when you turn 100 in Japan the PM sends you a silver cup. That's pretty cool.


With so many people turning 100 with longevity, the Prime Minister would have a hard time keeping up.


Today, for sure. They may want to change that if they want to be able to keep up. The life-span is definitely increasing nowadays.


Absolutely! Once, someone from a radio station pretended to be a prime Minister and sent Quee Elizabet II some flowers    prime Minister a


That's hilarious. Even more hilarious is that Panda researchers wear Panda costumes to work.


I bet that would be a blast!! Costuming is a great way for the researchers to reflect on their profession.


Yeah, it says that Johnny Depp travels with his Capt Jack outfit, but I heard he is no longer going to be playing him in the future.


I heard that as well. He used his cape when he was in hospitals visiting sick kids. I'm sure the kids loved it!!


I'm not sure who they are going to get to replace him though. Has it been announced?


I haven't heard anything. Television and movies have come a long way since black and white days and most houses have televisions...a lot have more than one!


That is true. I need to get a smart tv. I've never seen Lord of the Rings, pretty amazing that Sean Bean had to hike into location due to his fear.


Who would've thought?? Maybe he needs to stick with narrating kids shows. Ringo Starr, George Carlin and Alec Baldwin have all narrated Thomas the tank engine episodes!!


I didn't know Sean Bean narrated kids shows. I saw that Ringo, George, and Alec had all narrated the Thomas the Tank episodes, although I don't know what that is. The big thing nowadays is Peppa Pig


I should have said "he should try" narrating kids shows...like the others. Pokemon is popular also. Over 750 episodes...about 50 each year for a 16 year stretch!


Pokemon has been around for a long time. I remember a few years back when Pokemon-Go was all the rage.


yes it was. I played for a little while. The rage was short-lived, I might say.


Yeah, I thought it would have lasted longer, but those app-type games seem to fade out fairly quickly.


Indeed. But fun, nonetheless. It was fun while it lasted.


They're not bad, I enjoyed the new one, Juliet, Naked


That was a great rom com! Do you like Ethan Hawke? He is in a new one from what I hear.


Yeah that's the one that he is in, he's good in a lot of movies


I guess he sings in the new movie. I want to check it out. Do you like comedy movies in general?


Ahhh yes he forms part of a band in that movie because it's made by the guy from the Lemonheads. I do like comedies, do you?


You are exactly right. And yes I love comedy. I find it interesting that The Green Lantern was supposed to be a comedy ....lol


I did not know that, can't really see that


Me either. It was originally supposed to star Jack Black. I think it is best the way it is.


Yeah I can't see him as a super hero but I couldn't see Chris Pratt as one either


Exactly, sometimes actors surprise you. I like so many comedy movies, but I also like many other genre's as well as documentary's like learning about the universe, stars, earth....


I learned that the earth is saved being hit with asteroids because of Jupiter today


Really? That is interesting! Good save! Hard to believe Earth has been around for over 4 billion years and we have not been hit by anything too tragic.


Yeah it's pretty crazy 4.5 billion years is a long time and we're still here!


Right!? Really crazy. Plus 71% of Earth is covered by water...it is just so amazing.


Yeah that's crazy and most of the land has a lot of water too


Exactly. It is sad though that Earth's forests have been destroyed I think about 80%, that's not good.


So do you like music? I am a huge fan of many types of music and back in the day I had a huge Album collection, too bad I got rid of all my vinyl.


You got rid of all your vinyl? They're still selling it now


Yes, they do still sell vinyl....but I doubt I could replace the hundreds of albums I had.


Yeah that would be hard. Did you know they first released them in the 40s?


Yes, they went through different stages through time. I was pretty happy to get cassettes but still miss my collection. I have all of my albums on my playlists though so happy about that! Best thing on earth is to have a great collection of music. It has been great chatting!


Man I haven't had cassettes in a very long time, all mine is MP3 these days.


I remember cassettes were truly amazing lol....portable!


haha yeah, remember when you tried to do that with CDs?


Hahaha, I do! So funny how time changes and technology just gets better and better!  You have a great day! Nice chat!


I do! I'm a big fan of Demetri Martin. Did you know he gave up Harvard Law to pursue his career?


I just read that about him.  That is pretty incredible. I have always liked his stuff.


I guess it's not uncommon to drop out of school for a comedy career; evidently Ryan Stiles dropped out of high school.


Yeah, they both have been pretty successful too.  I think it is funny Bill Murray thinks Kung Fu hustle is the supreme acheivement in comedy.


Yeah, he likes his Kung Fu movies. I like bromantic comedies, or I've always called them stoner comedies, like Pineapple Express.


Those are the best, I love a good bromance - especially some of the Harold and Kumar.


Yeah. Comedies have been around forever, since before the 20s when sound was introduced.


Comedies are great especially on TV.  I was always a fan of friends.


I was, too, but I also loved 3rd Rock from the Sun. Can't believe it won a Golden Globe and beat out Friends, Frasier, and Seinfeld.


That is pretty crazy.  I liked 3rd rock, but didnt think it should out do friends.


I liked 3rd Rock because it talked a lot about the universe. Did you know the universe might be one giant superhologram?


No.  That is crazy.  I think it is neat that there are stars cool enough to be touched by the human hand.


Or that stars only make up less than .3% of the entire universe? Geez, we're meaningless.


True.  I know were are just specs in the world.


Scientists think that universes evolve through natural selection just like we do.


I could see that, if it isnt strong and sustainable then it dies off.  It sure is fascinating.


And that there's so much we can't possibly know about it. Philosophers and physicists won't even theorize what predates the Big Bang because they know it's impossible to ever find out.


It is something that is above my understanding for sure.  Just how one solar system works is so complex.


Yeah, stars, planets, and visible gas clouds only account for 6% of ordinary matter.


There is even this theory that there is only one electron in the universe.  Crazy.  Anyway.  Good chat!  HAve a great night!


Hey how often to use your telephone? I use my cell phone almost everyday, I don't even have a house phone anymore


I use my phone every day I think its one of the best inventions ever!


I agree with you! I believe though, that an iPhone has more CPU power than the nuclear missile deterrent system, that seems really scary


That seems scary I agree just like the cables that carry phone and internet data in the ocen floor, they have a diameter of only 2.7 inches, that is really thin


That does seem really thin. Always wonder if a shark or something could just eat that cable in half haha. Have you ever seen two phone books that have their pages overlapped together?


I havent, phone books are outdated by now I dont think many people use them anymore


Nope I agree. I need to go to my grandma's house and try this out though. She has a bunch of old phone books and if you enter laugh the pages, apparently you cannot separate the two books after that


That would be an interesting experiment but anyways what are your thoughs on the universe?


Well I think the universe is very interesting. I like the different theories people have about it. One theory is that the whole universe is a giant hologram, what do you think?


I think that theory is crazy but I guess anything is possible even the theory of a single electron in the universe


Don't know how that theory works. but I do know that Elon Musk is really smart and he believes in the Hologram Theory LOL. I also want to find a star that I can touch with my hand that would be cool


That would be cool, I would like to take a selfie holding that star lol, and Elon Musk is really smart so that gives that theory points


Yep that's what I'm thinking haha. I'll leave it to the smart people to decide. Another cool idea is that universe is evolve through natural selection, just like how animals did. That's pretty cool to think about


It is a pretty cool theory, it makes sense if we evolve that way I guess its a legit hypothesis,


Yep I agree with you. Back to telephones though, do you know area code is 212?


No, 212? cant recall it, maybe its the area code for Miami?


Nope it's the area code for New York, and they chose it because it was the fastest number you could dial back on an old rotary phone. We don't use those anymore, but the number stuck apparently


Oh that makes sense, rotary phones were the worse, specially if you got the number all mixed up, it was a long process longer than the actual call lol


Yep I agree with you. They were so weird to use haha. What scares me though is that an iPhone has more computing power than our nuclear deterrent system. Like how is that possible? You think that the military would have the latest technology


That is scary! we should update our nuclear deterrent as son as possible, it seems like a higher priority than building a useless wall along the border


Yes I agree with you. what do you think about the cable that connects America to Europe? It carries our telephone and also our internet data, it's only 3 in thick I just worry that a fish could bite through it LOL


I suppose you would know that animals are multicellular.


No, I do not know.  Please tell me more so that I can understand more the difference between humans and animals.


Well, animals are also eukaryotic.  That means that their cells have membranes, unlike bacteria.


Oh, I see.  I was not very good at biology when I was at school.  Apparently, animals develop white patches on their forehead when they are domesticated.  I do not notice that on my dog.  Perhaps because I'm not looking for it.


Your dog is probable still wild!  Watch out that you don't get eaten.  Animals usually eat organic material.  I am an animal and am eating a wheat based pretzel right now.


You are funny.  Apparently, Germany was the first country in the world to give animals constitutionally guaranteed legal rights.


Thanks.  It is nice when I am intending to be funny to be recognized as such.  The zoologists named the kingdom anamalia which is one of the most logical name they have used.  I wonder if I could be arrested if I stepped on an ant in Germany?


You need to try and see.  However, you might have to announce that you have stepped on an ant otherwise no one would notice.  Germany has the law - do we have similar law?  I assume you live in the US.


I do.  We don't have constitutional rights for animals, but we have local laws about animal cruelty and neglect.  The study of animals is called zoology.  That sounds like it should be the study of zoos.


Yes, you are right.  Zoology does not sound suitable to name the study of animals.


There have been about 1.5 million animals that have been described by humans out of a total of 7 million.  I am glad I don't have that job.


I don't want that job either.  But someone and some people do not mind it.  That's why we found out the the estimated number of species.  7 million species is large.


God told man to subdue the earth and it does seem that we are compelled to do it.  We have found medicines in strange places like snake venom.  I have known several me that I was sure were domesticated, but none have had white patches on their foreheads.


If you see snakes with wild patches, should I pet them since they are "domesticated"? So, you said you are domesticated and you have known several -- did I understand correctly?


I had a typo.  I left the "m" off of men.  To change the subject, did you know that Netflix accounts for 33 percent of all bandwidth in North America?


Good, the topic about animal is to confusing to me.  Yes, I heard about that.  I think I'm included in the 33%.


I often am also.  I can't believe that I can't fix my typo.  I left the "n" off of men.  One of the horrible mistakes of US business is when Blockbuster did not buy Netflix for $50 million since it is now worth $2  billion.


Now, Blockbuster is gone.  They should have bought Netflix. Some people were angry with themselves out there.


Undoubtedly.  It is easy to make economic decisions in hindsight.  I wish I would have gotten out of the stock market in the crash of 2008, but I kept buying as it went down.  The guy who founded Netflix did it because he did not like a $40 late fee on a VHS tape of Apollo 13.


Yes, I heard about it.  He is very smart and motivated.


New businesses are often conceived out of such a need.  The Sony Walkman came from the CEO wanting to listen to music while he jogged.  Nice chat!


Hi, great! I really enjoy watching cookie shows on Netflix and am excited to learn that Patrick O'Connell has released a culinary biography about the Inn at Little Washington.


Really that sounds interesting I dont even have a clue who that is to be honest.


It's the chef that's responsible for the highly acclaimed Inn at Little Washington, it has received a three-star Michelin rating. Have you visited any MIchelin starred restaurants?


No I havnt. I am guessing it is named after George Washington.


That I'm not too sure, I'll have to read the culinary biography to find out.


I know George Washington was a wealthy man. His net worth would have been 525 million in 2010 dollars.


I think he'd be considered one of the wealthiest presidents in the US then, how do you think he managed to accumulate that fortune back in the day?


I would say he was a very good business man and a likeable guy on top of it. Although he was considered a bad public speaker by most historians.


That and he probably owned a lot of land and also "slaves" which were considered assets back in the day. Crazy to think how far we've come, but one thing's for sure, no officer is allowed to outrank George Washington who was a six-star general. I wonder why that law came to be in the first place.


Probably just out of respect for a man who did so much for this country to become what it is. Ill admit it is screwed up how people could use slaves to make theirselves wealthy. There is no denying that Without George Washington this country may not have ever become this country like they did.


Yeah, that's a good point and a good rule to have, without his contributions and leadership, the US definitely wouldn't be what it was today. He was loved by so many that he even received 100% of the electoral votes even though he was a bad public speaker, that's unheard of these days!


To add to your point. I believe he is the only President to receive 100 percent of the electoral votes.


Yeah, the only one, definitely impossible today. George Washington was not only known for chopping down the tree, he also had a dog and to much debate, dogs aren't color blind, they just cannot see as many different colors as humans can.


Thats interesting. They also along with elephants are the only animals pointing. Probably why they are so popular as pets. instinctively understand


They are the only animals pointing? What do you mean by that?


Oh my bad. I meant to say they are the only animals along with elephants that instinctively understand pointing. Im Sorry about that. Must have hit the wrong button on my keyboard.


Oh ok, thanks for clarifying, I wasn't too sure that animals could point much less elephants! Dogs perhaps, but I imagine it'll take a great effort for an elephant to do that. Google is a dog company, they even have it in their code of conduct!


really that is interesting. I guess they have their hands in about everything these days.


Yeah, they do even telephones with their Google Pixel phones, I wonder if they had anything to do with Unicef's pledge to donate a day of clean water to a child in need for every minute someone doesn't use their cell phone.


Where do I sign up for that. I hardly ever use mine unless I have to.


On Unicef's site! You can help donate clean water, sad to think about how some people don't have access to basic needs like clean water!


Not really, never did, nor saw the attraction in it, how about yourself?


just like that.. but in my childwood.. i am very big fan of WWF.


I remember all that, my brother was into it a lot.  I suppose it is still going but you don't hear as much about it now.


i don't have no time to watch that.. i like JOHN CENA


I have young kids so have little time myself.  I see proper wrestling at the YMCA when I take my kids there.


Yes, I wouldn't be able to function without a car.  I don't live close to anything and have to drive everywhere.  How about yourself.


i like bike more then a car. so i have bike only.. but my brother have a car..


When  I lived in the city I biked all the time, but where I live now I need a car.  People don't respect cyclists here, it would be too dangerous.


yah i agree that.. soon I'll also buy a new car


If I were to bike around here I think I would need a Bible with me to keep me safe.


Do you know much about the Bible?  I'm curious about some of it but have never really read it


i also fully read it.. did you watch the movie THE DA VINCI CODE?


I have, that was kind of based around the Bible, or at least religion, do you like that movie?


sorry I haven't fully read the bible.. yah i like that movie.. i think its true


My brother-in-law keeps telling me it's true.  I guess Thomas Jefferson was a little skeptical of the Bible, cutting out the supernatural parts!


HMM.. yah.. I think it's inconsiderate to remove so much of good things from bible


It would have been interesting to see what that Bible looked like after he had finished with it.


I am open to the question, I need evidence.  it was good talking with you, have a good day.


I do like some of the movies he was in, like Charlie and the chocolate factory and Alice in wonderland. Do you?


That one was pretty wild, I am a huge fan of Fear and Loathing.


Yeah, that's a good one too! Did you know he directed The brave?


No I didn't know he did any directing at all, that is pretty cool.


Yeah. In Edward scissorhands he only said 196 words. Also a really good movie!


And he was awesome in that!  Such a cool movie I agree.  He has been in so many it seems.


Yeah, he's made quite a name for himself. Gene Wilder (who apparently wasn't such a big fan of Depp) refused to watch the remake of willy wonka for fear of being disappointed by him.


I never heard about that, Gene was so good, I am a bit surprised by that.


I don't have an account but think it is a very useful product.  How about you?


I use it a lot. It uses 33% of north americas bandwidtch from 9pm tp 12am. Which makes sense, that's pretty much when I use it too.


Holy crap, yeah that sounds like the peak hours or the netflix and chill hours if you will lol.


lol,yes. Did you know Hugh Laurie is the highest paid actor for tv drama, making 700000 per episode. Holy cow!


No I didn't know that, I didn't know that show was that popular, wow!


Yeah, I also heard he switched his limp on his leg the entire time filming and no one ever noticed!


That is too funny, sounds like a George Costanza type of move.


Yeah, Jim carrey wont produce dramas anymore because it doesn't project positivity.


I heard about that, I'm sure he is well off enough to do what projects he really wants to do.


Yeah, he is a great actor. Jon hamm taught ellie kemper from the office, in high school drama. Interesting!


Very interesting.  Well its been nice talking with you, I hope you have a good day!


I love super hero movies. how about you?


Ok i only saw the first one mine would have to be captain america. did you know that Garfield was a superhero?


Really, what were his powers?  Sleeping and eating Lasagna?


He had a cap and everything. Apparently there are 300 real superheros registered in the US.


Wow, that is a lot.  Did you hear about the series created that deals with fixing the collateral damage caused by superheros?


I did that's sounds pretty cool, A female superhero is called a super-heroine


There is even a superhero that has no powers!


Yeah i heard that on a planet with nothing but super hero's he's normalman right?


Yes.  Pretty crazy concept.  But would be neat.


All of japans highways are tolls it cost $300.00 to travel across country.


Wow.  I guess if you only take toll roads in the US i guess it would be like that too.


Do you know who King Kalakaua was? He was from Hawaii.


Wasn't he the first Kind to travel the world.


You got it. must have been nice. Did you know that there is a copy of the entire internet?


Yeah.  Which is good in the case it all goes down.


Well i guess you're right. Are you part of the 7% of people who read the terms and agreement on internet purchases?


Definitely not.  Although I probably should once in a while.


Me too but don't sweet it were in the majority, lol! the dutch are creating a commuter bus that travels a 160 mph.


That sounds really awesome and efficient.


Yeah a little dangerous too. well nice taking with you.


Not at all but I'd love to see the fake movie trailer he made for Kim Jong Un


What me too, lol! I hear it had all the makings of a summer blockbuster!


Yea, they even got someone who sounded like Don LaFontaine's voice to narrate the trailer. these people are suppose to be leaders of countries but act like children


You're right! On a lighter note do you watch south park?


Yea almost everyday, their Family Guy episodes were hilarious


My wife loves that show i've never really seen it except for clips. What i have seen was hilarious though.


Yea, the Simpsons crew like the South Park episode too and sent the producers flowers as a thank you


That was cool of them. You know they tried to do a UK version of that 70's show?


Yea, it was called "Days like these" and only lasted 10 episodes, must of really sucked


Right, no body does drama and comedy like we do! Switching up a bit you know that know one knows how old Kim is? That's strange.


Yea, it's also ridiculous that people in Korea actually believe Kim Jong Un learned to drive at age 3


Right talk about dictatorship and apparently he's the sexiest man alive. haha!


Kim Jong does edit picture to depict a different history so he probably edits his looks


Yeah he's walking in some serious dictatorial foot steps like Mao and Stalin.


Well I don't think Mao and Stalin had theme parks like Kim does


I think you're right. Do you know Ringo Star?


Yea, he was the beatles drummer and even narrated Thomas the Tank Engine


Yea along with George Carlin and Alec Baldwin. I love those guys especially Carlin he was hilarious as well.


Yea, Carlin had awesome stand up, surprised he voice Thomas the Tank Engine for 52 episodes


Yeah still nothing compared to the 750 episodes of pokemon, lol.


Well I got to go, nice chatting with you


Good.  Did you hear that there may be a second US-North Korea summit in the coming months?


I did hear that. It should be interesting. Did you find anything interesting in the article?


I think using a "movie trailer" to kickstart a negotiation, and such a fragile one, is a good idea.  No doubt they are used in many business proposals across the world.


Yeah, I too thought that was inventive. I guess it makes sense based on their shared love of pop culture.


Right.  It may not be in keeping with the stoic image of most international politics, but I like that it breaks the mold. At the end of the day, will it be effective?


I am not sure. WHat are your thoughts on it?


I think it's going to be a long process.  Like a dance.  NK has a long history of having to "stand up" to "the world" and that is a huge ship to turn.


Or the relationship between Canada and Russia: During the brisbane g20 summit, when putin shook the canadian prime minister's hand, the latter said "i guess i'll shake your hand, but i have only one thing to say to you. you need to get out of ukraine."


It's important to lay out your position.  Televising not just the handshake, but also that message is greatly important.


Yeah. I do like Justin Trudeau from Canada. Seems like a good dude.


I don't know much about him.  Why do you like him?


I do. Just seems like a nice guy with good values.


I don't think I share some of his values, but if he is willing to be blunt with Putin, I'm happy for that.  What do you think of Kim Jong Un's pop culture obsession?


I know he loves the US culture. He watches old US TV shows.


While it could be childish, I like that he can enjoy things and be personable in that way.  Too many US politicians are unrelatable.


He was voted most sexiest man alive by the onion, china totally believes it. I can see the parades now...


Hahaha.  I do wish he could take a joke better ... like with "The Interview", he could gain some real points for just taking a joke.


HA! I forgot about that movie. Remember the consipiracy with that?


Yeah, it was just weird how it was coming and then, it just released without going to theaters. Was there more to it?


Hello,  how are you doing?  I dont know this actor/actress but thats sounds incorrect,  cuz didnt each of the FRIENDS cast make 1.2  mil every episode?


I don't know.  Sounds like that makes more sense.  Jim Carrey doesn't make dramas any more supposedly because of his belief in making movies projecting positivity


Hugh laurie is the highest paid actor ever for tv drama, earning $700,000 per episode in house... sorry I was referring to this comment and I noticed I didnt paste it in.


Jon hamm taught drama at his old high school interestingly and had ellie kemper as a student


Hmmm i dont know who they are.  Thats cool though. Michael caine became an actor because all the prettiest girls at his school were in drama class.


did you see the two drama masks?  One is for comedy and the other for drama


no i didnt.  are they good?  There is a website where you can listen to thousands of episodes of classic radio dramas for free


Sounds like fun! Especially war of the worlds would be interesting.


Right!  Do you like animals? In 2002, germany became the first country in the world to universally give animals constitutionally-guaranteed legal rights.


Wow, I wonder what rights those were?  There are only about 20 qunitillion individual animals on planet earth


Same,  I wish some of these facts were more detailed,  they are very interesting!  Under the provisions of the 1912 scottish protection of animals act, the loch ness monster is a protected species.


I wonder who made that rule.  In animal facts they think that hiccups are from evolution when early land animals had gills and lungs.  I wonder how that works?
