I don't know a lot about politics. I heard that the President's guest house is bigger than the White House!", "from": "agent_2" }, { "content": "I know right. I wonder who stays there and do they use the whole house? Or do multiple guests stay at a time like a hotel?", "from": "agent_1" }, { "content": "I was wondering the same. Apparently, the candidate that lost the election used to automatically become Vice President. That would never work these days!", "from": "agent_2" }, { "content": "lol I can't imagine Trump and Hilary making a good team at all. A President of Indonesia made 3 albums ! That must have been a fun president! Concerts all the time!", "from": "agent_1" }, { "content": "That's funny! The us senate used the same gavel for 165 years until richard nixon cracked it.", "from": "agent_2" }, { "content": "That is a long lived gavel! i wonder if they kept in, maybe in a museum or something. lol ", "from": "agent_1" }, { "content": "Probably so!

I am not much into sweets lol Its weird that women were not allowed to wear pants until 1993, like what do they do when it is cold!", "from": "agent_1" }, { "content": "Seriously, how old fashioned! Apparently the rule was changed when two senators protested and wore pantsuits. ", "from": "agent_2" }, { "content": "Good for them! Pants are warm ! ", "from": "agent_1" }, { "content": "Haha. I agree! The Senate has to elect someone if noone is elected for Vice President. ", "from": "agent_2" }, { "content": "How can no one be elected as vp?

The top three wealthiest presidents in american history were jfk, washington, and jefferson.", "from": "agent_2" }, { "content": "I doubt it, I think that might be inaccurate.

I wonder how people found out about the patent Michael Jackson had to help him with some of his dance moves", "from": "agent_1" }, { "content": "I think with patents you can just look it up in the registry or something, but that's pretty cool you can patent that. You think with the right dance moves, you can woo someone you're attracted to?", "from": "agent_2" }, { "content": "It might depend on how well you can dance. I think there's something innately in us that wants to move to the beat of music though because babies naturally dance when they hear music", "from": "agent_1" }, { "content": "I definitely do that or bop my head and if other people's ears permit, sing to it too! I would love to have taken dance because I have poor posture, I think that's why Bruce Lee danced before he ventured into Karate.", "from": "agent_2" }, { "content": "Dance helps with a lot of other things too like flexibility and coordination. If you were a professional ballet dancer though, it could get expensive buying pointe shoes. Some of them even go through four pairs in only a week!", "from": "agent_1" }, { "content": "In one week? Wow! If they go through that many shoes per week, imagine the pain their toes are in! I wonder how many pairs of shoes basketball players go through per season! It probably wouldn't matter since they have endorsements with major brands.", "from": "agent_2" }, { "content": "I don't think basketball shoes wear down as much, though if you dunk as much as Kareem Abdul-Jabbar did, you'd have to make sure your shoes weren't too worn down. College basketball even banned dunk shots for over ten years because of him", "from": "agent_1" }, { "content": "Why was it banned? I feel like that's how a lot of the basketball players score in those games or at least that's what I see over and over again on basketball recaps or highlights.", "from": "agent_2" }, { "content": "Probably because he did that more than anything else. I think the ban has been lifted for a while though. I wonder how tall he was compared to those of the New Zealand basketball team. There has to be a reason they're nicknamed the \"tall blacks\"", "from": "agent_1" }, { "content": "Yeah, that's an odd nickname, but I also don't think that nickname would fly if it were basketball players. I'd think there'd be a whole movement around that. Not sure what it'd be called though.", "from": "agent_2" }, { "content": "At least it's not a sport that's only played by a minority. Even the US Supreme Court enjoys shooting hoops for some fun. The \"highest court in the land\" is actually a basketball court on the top floor of their building", "from": "agent_1" }, { "content": "What a funny name, if I worked there, it'll get me every single time. I wonder whether any of the justices use that court to destress, I know I would if I were in their position.", "from": "agent_2" }, { "content": "Of course, if they get competitive, it would just be a different type of stress. I can't imagine how stressful it was for James Naismith who invented basketball. I'm not sure what sport he coached while at the University of Kansas, but he is the only losing coach in their history", "from": "agent_1" }, { "content": "Even as being the losing coach, maybe his state, Kansas, is one of the 39 states where basketball or football coaches make the highest salary. Or maybe he gets a royalty payment for inventing basketball.", "from": "agent_2" }, { "content": "I'm not sure if it became as popular as it is now during his lifetime. I mean, in the 60s, the top bowlers were still making more money than the top football stars, so maybe it was the same for basketball", "from": "agent_1" }, { "content": "Wow! Bowlers made that much money?! I don't even think bowling is watched by people these days, is it?", "from": "agent_2" }, { "content": "I'm not even sure if ESPN shows many, if any, bowling games anymore. Once they got their Emmy for the superimposed first down line used in football, I think they saw where the potential for more viewers is...football", "from": "agent_1" }, { "content": "Yeah, football sure is America's favorite sport as some like to call it. In other countries, it's known as gridiron football, rugby, and they have different rules. I would like to see different takes on America's pasttime sport in other countries.", "from": "agent_2" }, { "content": "It would be interesting to watch sometime.

I think that is extremely useful for people at home or looking on the screen!", "from": "agent_2" }, { "content": "Yes, that is exactly it! I agree, it is helpful and award worthy. So I guess different variations of football are known as football codes. ", "from": "agent_1" }, { "content": "Nice, never knew that. Did you know 39 out of 50 states the highest paid employee is the basketball or football coach", "from": "agent_2" }, { "content": "I am not at all surprised. Talking about basketball, James Naismith was the inventor of basketball.", "from": "agent_1" }, { "content": "Yeah, and hes the only losing coach in the university of kansas, ironic.
