I did know that! It must have been hard to work with your opponent, perhaps even harder than losing the election while having the popular vote. That happened to 5 candidates for president.


Yeah that would be hard. I wonder if that would be more or less hard and making three pop albums while in office like the president of Indonesia did?


Seems difficult to me. Also hard is learning another language, that last president to speak a foreign language was FDR.


That is interesting. Also I think it's weird that Nevada has a"none of these candidates"option when they vote, I think that could be used in other states as well, it would be useful


Wow, I wonder if we would ever have a President then or an inauguration. Lincoln was the first president to be photographer for his inauguration....with John Wilkes Booth in the photo!


Well that's very scary! Definitely a bad Omen, did you know that our top voter participation percentage has maxed out at about 63%, that seems really low to me, and that's over the last 100 years


I'd believe it, especially that a cat named Hank placed third in a Virginia Senate election. I'm not sure people take voting seriously.


No I don't think so. Especially since the taller candidate wins about 75% of the time, that's highly unlikely to be due to ideas, and instead is probably a factor of television showing the height difference


Well, he may not be tall but a dog beat two people for mayor. He served for 13 years.


Haha that's funny. I wonder what his daily routine consisted of? Speaking of Elections, did you hear that ancient Athens used to just use a lottery system? I could see how that would elect a dog LOL


In Oregon all elections are conducted by mail. I am so surprised at how different elections can be across the world!


That is interesting! do you go to any concerts by the way? They should have presidential election concerts haha


That would be great. Thanks for chatting. I learned a lot of cool new things!


I did too, and I'm going to make sure to avoid a free concert lol they were sued for having really bad concerts actually


Hello, do you know much about the presidents?


Yeah and along with Jefferson and Washington that makes the top three wealthiest presidents


If Oprah runs its game over. She got $$. However Indonesia got a dude with 3 pop albums


Yeah, speaking of music, do you go to concerts?


Yeah, I saw U2 recently. Would love to see Pink Floyd. I wonder which one's Pink.


Oh nice I have not seen U2 ever in concert. Do you know the Ramones?


yeah. they r like bob dylan. always touring


Yeah they did that for 20 years in a row


Yeah otherwise they would have been sued multiple times and not just for one concert


They should pull a Pink Floyd and do a concert without an audience


I wonder why the did that. In Croatia there is still ancient theater where you can have a concert


I would like to see a concert in the potus guest house


How about elections, did you vote in the last one?


Do you know how they were elected in ancient athens?


hilarious! that should increase turnout above what we get


Yeah imagine if that happened today. Nice chatting with you


A little.    I know that the president is what they call the head of state in most republics.


yeah. do you know who the wealthiest us presidents are?


I believe they were George Washington, Thomas Jefferson and John Kennedy.    Adjusted for inflation, of course.


yeah that is them. do you know how the vice-president used to be elected?


The runner-up became president until 1805.     Would be funny if it still applied and Hillary Clinton were VP.


hahah that would be funny, wonder how that would have worked for those two


Who knows.    Hillary Clinton was president of Young Republicans in college.


Yeah that is true. When she campaigned in southern states she adopted a southern drawl.


That is funny.    Did you know she once won a grammy award!   Reminded of that since they were on last night.


Best spoken word album for the audio recording of her book.


wow, good for her. there is so much info on the internet nowadays.


True.    I've always wondered what they call the protocol used on the network.


Thanks!   What are some of the applications on the network?


oh they are so vast, so many of them. do you know what the three horizontal line menu on apps is called?


I think they call that the hamburger button.


yeah that is it. did you know you can develop an addiction from clicking on the internet?


I've heard that.    Good thing for those climbing Mt. Everest, since there is 3G service at the peak.


Yeah, internet seems to be everywhere now. nice chat


What do you think about Trump supporters


Were you aware that an ancient shark tooth was stolen in Ausralia?


I heard it was huge. I wonder who stole it.


They still don't know apparently. It was the tooth of a megalodon and was believed to be 1.6 million years old!


Someone found a megalodon tooth in South Carolina last year. I don't even know if I would know it if I found one.


I wouldn't either but I would imagine I would assume I found something unique and interesting. Apparently few people even knew the location of the tooth in Australia. Seems like that would be hard to keep a secret.


Did you know that since a shark doesn't have a rib cage, they have nothing to support their body on land and can crush themselves? Can you imagine how much crushing power a megalodon would have?


I was not aware. That would be some massive power. I would have thought that there bodies would be more protective of their organs given that they are predators.


I think it must be part of their evolution; how they adapt to the water. Obviously we don't have too many land sharks. Sharks are found in all sizes nowadays. Again, that's gotta be part of their evolution.


That is likely true. They have changed. The megalodon was 50 feet long which is 3 times the size of a great white. It also could weigh more than 20 tons which is three times the weight of a T-Rex!


Who would when in a fight: a shark or a dinosaur? I guess it depends when and where. Sharks evolved earlier than dinosaurs, but they'll be crushed by their own weight on land.


That is true. In the water likely the shark and on land the dinosaur would be my guess. But the megalodon preyed on giant prehistoric turtles and whales so if it was an aquatic dinosaur who knows.


Did you know sharks are related to rays? I didn't!


No I was not aware of that. That's very interesting! Sharks themselves are interesting. Apparently not only dolphins rescue sailors but sharks do too.


I guess sharks get a bad rap a lot of times. Either that or they are real connoisseurs and the spit the sailors out instead of eating them haha.


Ha ha. I think they get a bad rap. There are so few shark attacks per year. Not that I wouldn't be very nervous if one was close by.


They tried to pass off a "documentary" about megalodon existing now a few years back. The scientific community was outraged.


I don't blame them. I don't like false information being spread. Another fascinating shark fact is that they can be trained like dogs to bark!


I wonder if they can be trained to fetch a sailor, haha.


Well since they can rescue them and are intelligent, possibly lol.


There's a place called the white shark cafe where a bunch of white sharks congregate; I wonder what they are doing there.


They seem capable of more thought than I was aware of. They must be communicating in some way.


Have you heard about the fossilized giant shark tooth that was stolen?


I was reading about that just today, it's awful that happened!


Yeah, it was undisturbed for a while in a secret location but someone must have told the wrong person.


I think that is so awful, what would someone want with a shark tooth over a million years old, not like people won't know it was stolen.


You're right. They say it could be someone who doesn't know what it is they took, an amateur collector or someone who wants to sell it on the black market.


Ugh, I can't believe people. And it was stolen just when they were discussing how to secure it. Makes you wonder if those people told someone.


Yeah the bullet proof glass covers and cages were too late.


This shark has been extinct for over 2 million years, it's amazing that they found this tooth at all. I guess someone else found a small tooth of the same shark species but it was only 5 inches long. The scientists are thinking they may still be alive.


The shark's nameactually means "Giant Tooth" and it grew to about 15 feet long. Yike. Female great white are about 16 feet long. And Megalodons weighed more than 20 tons, or three times as much as a T Rex.


They are definitely very large for sure. That tooth was a great find. I guess they have 20,000 to 40,000 pounds of pressure when biting down which could crush a car, it sounds enormous.


Yikes! And because they don't have rib cages o land their weight literally can crush their own body.


Wow, that is amazing. I seriously wonder what a tooth of such an awesome creature would be worth in dollars, I don't think you could put a price on it.


Yeah, and modern day sharks are amazing too. They evolved earlier than dinosaurs and treet.


Yes, I think sharks in general are fascinating. I always watch tv shows about sharks whenever I can. They sem so smart and have been known to save people. They can be trained like dogs can so they are very smart.


Yeah, and apparently there have been records of them rescuing sailors, not only sailors.


Yes I heard about that. There are several species of sharks from small to as long as 40 feet long. That would be scary to come face to face with.


It would be cool to see the "White Shark Cafe", but only if I could be a figurative fly on the wall!


Hahaha, yep I wouldn't want to be in the middle of a shark cafe haha....So have you ever watched Shark Week on tv? It is a really good show.


I haven't but I have heard good things about it. I don't have cable. Are there any features where they teach a shark to bark?


Oh they have so many facts and stories about sharks it is so amazing. I am not sure I the tv show ever mentioned teaching them to bark.


Yeah apparently sharks can be trained to bark. Not sure why you would want one to, but hey. Guess I will go look up more about that. Have a good night!


Do you like comedies? As in movies or TV shows? I guess the form of Comedy actually started back in ancient Greece, which is interesting


Yes I like comedies a lot. I know that Bill Murray is one of my favorites. I also like Steve Martin a little bit, what about you?


I like them both, I liked Martin in Three Amigos and Murray in Caddieshack.


Yep I agree with you! Those are great movies! Have you ever seen the movie Kung Fu Hustle? Apparently Bill Murray loves that movie, I'll have to check it out


No I haven't seen it, but I have heard good things, did you ever see the movie The Green Lantern? The one with Ryan Reynolds?


No, but I think Ryan Reynolds was good in Deadpool. That I did see.


Yeah Deadpool is awesome, and apparently the Green Lantern movie was originally going to star Jack Black and it was going to be a comedy, I think they should have gone in that direction, the eventual movie they came out with did not impress me at all


I haven't seen Jack Black in anything for a long long long time. In fact, the last movie I saw him in was the one with the Gorrilla. LOL


Haha oh Humane King Kong? That was kind of a weird movie but I did like it, do you watch the television station Comedy Central by the way?


King Kong, that is it. No, I don't watch Comedy Central, their shows suck. They always cancel them.


Yeah I agree with you. I know that I like certain shows, like the ones with comedians like Jeff Ross and such, they had their own Daily News show, but they canceled over a hundred shows since 1989, doesn't surprise me


Yeah, it sure is odd that they had to cancel so many. That seems a bit excessive.


Yes I agree with you. Have you ever seen the comedy team in Monty Python? I'm a programmer and I didn't know that programming language python was named after them


I have, but this is years and years ago. I'm surprised by that as well. I use Python for their Sci kit, but mostly use SAS and R for statistics and JAVA for base programming.


Oh that's cool. Speaking of technology, did you know that the White House still uses floppy disks? That seems incredibly outdated lol they need some USB drives over there


No, I'm not surprised, have you ever gone on a tour of it? It is pretty old.


No I haven't. Well I guess I have but it was a really long time ago, like back in middle school. What is interesting is that I think Jimmy Carter put solar panels on the Roof, then Ronald Reagan took them off, then George W put them back on the roof


Yeah, that is pretty weird. I wonder if they actually helped to power the building or were just for show?


I think they actually do help the power the building. That would make sense. Do you know that there are twin buildings of the White House? There is one in Ireland and one in France


I am good thank you. Are you a fan of comedy by any chance?


Yes, I hear he thinks Kung Fu Hustle is the supreme achievement of the modern age.


I had heard that as well. I love Bill Murray but I am going to have to disagree with him on that one.


Me too.  Lol  I had heard that the Green Lantern film was originally going to be  a comedy starring Jack Black.


That movie was so poorly received that I don't think it would have mattered. I'm glad that Ryan Reynolds got to move up to Deadpool.


Amen, to that. Did you realize that Comedy Central has cancelled over 100 shows since its creation in 1989?


I did not but when I think about they have had so many shows cancelled. I didn't realize it was that many though.


Did you realize that the creator of the python programming language named it partly to honor British Comedy group, Monty Python?


No I did not but that's amazing! I don't know how that never crossed my mind.


On a different note, did you realize the US president's guest house is larger than the White House?


I don't know why either.  Did you realize the top 3 wealthiest presidents were JFK, Washington, and Jefferson?


I did not. I suppose that makes sense. Did you know that until 1805 the runner up became the VP? Can you imagine that now?


Trump and Hillary would have killed each other. Lol


Absolutely! It would be a disaster but on the other hand I wonder if it would make us less partisan?


Probably not, there would still be all that backbiting and bull crap that goes on.  That swamp needs to be drained, for sure.


It is a mess. Were you also aware that Teddy Roosevelt was a hardcore conservationist?


Yeah, I had read somewhere that he had banned Christmas trees from the White house. Well, it's been nice chatting with you, I need to get to work.  Talk to you later.


How's it going, do you like comedy? I love watch standup and comedy film


I keep seeing that Bill Murray recommends Kung Fu Hustle, which makes me think I should check it out. Have you ever seen it?


No but I heard Bill Murray isn't the only person who thought Kung Fu Hustle was hillarious


I should definitely see for myself then. Are you a fan of Bill Murray?


Yea, I like his films from the 80s, so much funnier than Jack Black, so happy he was never in Green Lantern


I never saw that movie, but if Murray's in it I should. You know he likes to walk up to strangers in restaurants and eat food off their plates, and say "no one will ever believe you"?


Lol no but that sounds like something Bill Murray would do


I saw him crash a TV weathercast once in a giant cowboy hat and start doing his own impromptu "forecast," and it was hilarious.


Sounds like he's a living Monty Python sketch. Did you know that is what python programming was named after?


I only recently found out. I love Monty Python. Are you a fan of theirs?


Yea, they used to play their sketches on Comedy Central but stopped. I guess they cancelled it like the other 100 shows they cancelled since 1989


I'd have watched Comedy Central a lot back when I had cable, but for some reason always had a really snowy connection.


It's kinda crazy they never had Seinfeld, friends, Fasier, or the 1997 golden globe winner 3rd Rock from the Sun reruns on there


Agree. Seinfeld is one of my favorites -- I managed to record every episode on VHS just from reruns.


Seinfeld is pretty funny, so is the fact the White House still uses floppy disks


That's amazing. I read somewhere that before they retired the space shuttle, to repair it they had to scavenge 80s-era computer hardware from junkyards and abandoned hospitals and stuff to find parts for it.


Lol, I'm sure they find a treasure trove of parts in the White House then


I'll bet! Probably doesn't help that most politicians are they type who had their secretaries print out their emails for them to read and dictated replies. Dianne Feinstein was surprised her encounter with the Sunrise kids showed up on the Internet so quickly.


Well at least they aren't releasing pop albums like the President of Indonesia


I wonder if those were any good. I should google.


Me too. Well I got to go, nice chatting with you


Hi!  I had no idea there were over 750 episodes of pokemon.


Hello - wow that's a lot of episodes! I saw that it comes out to about 50 a year for 16 years straight.


I saw that, too.  You'd think they'd run out of ideas.  Most shows only put out - what - 20 episodes a year?


Yea that's a lot! I saw that the 70s show was remade in the UK but was cancelled after 10 episodes.


I saw that, too.  Funny how some things don't translate well to other countries


Yep, definitely different. Did you know that MySpace turned down an offer to buy Facebook for $75 million back in 2005.


Wow, talk about a missed opportunity!  Where is myspace now?!


I'm not even sure if MySpace is even around anymore. I never had an account. What about you?


No, I didn't either.  This is weird: Burger King had a promotion where if you unfriend 10 people on facebook you get a free whopper.


LOL - that's a funny promotion! I saw that there is a state is Germany that made the like button illegal....how weird!


I know, such a strange thing to outlaw.  I wonder what the thinking behind that was?


Not sure on that one. I think it's interesting that Facebook is blue because Mark Zuckerburg suffers from color blindness.


Yes, that is interesting.  Blue is better color than red-green, I think.


I definitely like the color blue as well. Did you know Pixar studios has a secret room that is visited by celebrities.


Nope, I wonder what goes on in there.  Why is so secret?


Not sure why it would be so secret. It's only Pixar Studios LOL. Do you like Pixar?


I'm not really into animated movies.  What about you?


I like Pixar just because I have kids. Aside from that, I don't watch much with regards to animated movies.


Judge Judy is making bank - 123,000 per episode!


No doubt. Only Lebron is a higher paid celebrity


I watch TV from time to time. I like The Simpsons and I also like South Park. What about you?


I like both of those shows, which one is your favorite?


I would say that South Park is better than the Simpsons at this point. I like the early episodes of The Simpsons, but I don't think it's as good anymore. What about you??


I tend to agree. I liked the earlier episodes when Conan was writing for them.


Did you ever watch the show Pokemon? I liked that show a lot back in the day, I don't like the new Pokemon that they have now though, although I haven't seen any new episodes


I don't, but I've played the game Pokemon go. Did you play it?


I did play that game. I played red and blue back in the day haha. Which ones did you play? I know that I haven't played any of the most recent ones though


I just played POkemon Go. Did you know that there was a UK version of That 70s show?


Yes I think I heard about that, I think it was canceled right? After only like 10 episodes? I wonder if their humor is a lot different than ours, or if that show was just bad LOL


It was canceled afte 10 episodes, apparently it was not successful.


Haha I have to check that out, do you ever go on Facebook by the way? I don't really use it much anymore myself


I don't use it nearly as much as I did when i was younger. Apparently BK gave out a promotion where if you unfriend 10 people you get a free whopper.


I heard about that. I wish they had it now. I'm really hungry LOL, did you ever use MySpace by the way? Apparently they had an opportunity to buy Facebook at one point


No, I never got into myspace. But I heard they had a chance to buy facebook. Problem is that it is unlikely that facebook would be the same it is today had they bought them.


No you're right. I know that they could have bought them for only 75 million dollars, and the current valuation is at least a hundred billion dollars, but they would have run them differently. It might not have become as big as it did


Yeah. Did you know it  is blue because Zuck can't see red or green?


No I didn't know that. It makes a lot of sense though, I wonder why they didn't put that in The Social Network movie LOL. Did you hear about Iceland rewriting their Constitution by the way?


Well they're rewriting their constitution, but they're doing it on Facebook apparently, so that way everyone can make suggestions or alterations on it, I don't really know how that works? What if people make bad decisions when they're making it LOL


That would be hilarious! Well, nice chatting with you.


It's funny that That 70s Show scripts were reshot in the UK -- Sanford Son and Three's Company were literal copies of British TV shows in American settings.


They were canceled after 10 episodes. This is so sad.


I guess it didn't translate well. I loved the American version. Did you watch it?


I have not. I hesitated about watching the American series because I have school right now. I feel that I would delay my studies.


I understand that. When I decide to check out a new TV series it usually turns into a binge-watching commitment comparable to a job.


If I am only working, then I would definitely watch it. The last series I watched were Friends.


I watched that irregularly when I happened to come across reruns. I loved Seinfeld.  Also the Simpsons. I don't recall seeing the episode where Bart didn't figure at all -- did you ever watch them?


I am hesitant on Seinfeld. I will watch it if it is playing in a dental office or somewhere else. I watch the Simpsons, but I do not recall that situation, but he is always in the intro.


Any particular reason you're hesitant about Seinfeld, if you don't mind saying?


Ah -- gotcha. School must occupy most of your time, so you obviously take your studies seriously.


I do take it seriously. I have five classes.


That's a lot -- fifteen hours a week? I just found out Judge Judy is the second-highest paid celebrity -- I never would have guessed it, considering I've only seen her on afternoon TV in a lineup of cheesy court shows.


Wow, I did not realize the amount of hours at all, but sure. It is stressful and I got to though. She is almost done with her contract though.


I haven't had TV in a long time so I guess I lost touch with who's become popular.


I only use the computer to watch YouTube or Netflix. I have no time to watch the regular television. No time to sit on the sofa and surf the channels.


Yeah, I occasionally watch old shows on DVD boxed sets or stream them online. Last thing I watched beginning to end was Star Trek TNG.


I am not familiar with Star Trek but is it like Star Wars?


Other than being science fiction that features interstellar travel, not very much.


I highly recommend it when you get the time, but your tastes might be different. Nice chatting with you!


Hi! I'm great, I'm watching that Fyre Festival documentary. How are you?


I am good. I have heard that is good but really judgmental. How are you liking it? The Netflix one or Hulu?


I'm sure its pretty one sided, they usually are. I'm watching the one on Hulu right now. Its pretty crazy. I'm struggling to pay my student loans and that kid swindled all that money from all those investors.


Yeah! I haven't heard anything about the Hulu one but the Netflix one doesn't portray the concert goers in a good light.


Millenials get a bad wrap, I guess. Some kids are saddled with 100k of student loans and it makes people bitter to see kids spending money on a festival like that. The Hulu one interviews the guy and he appears incredibly dishonest and evasive.


That's a shame that happened. I heard one of the rich kids wrecked a bunch of the other tents because they were too close to his at the event. I would have been so mad!


Yeah, thats crazy. Part of it is being irresponsible, but some of it is being misguided. Kids are given so much bad advice, or just zero guidance at all. Kids are taught the importance of saving, but not what it means to wrack up all that debt for school or how much retirement actually costs.


Yeah. I am impressed by the financial sazy of today's millenials. They get a bad wrap but the exposure of the great recession made them better financiers...


I didn't even know what credit was when I was 18. I wish my parents had given me better advice and gotten me to keep living at home and paying off debt for a while. I got an apartment and credit card, and defaulted on loan.


Oh no! If it makes you feel any better, my parents taught me right and I still made mistakes in college. Im still paying for them at 40 years old. I wish I had more discipline.


Thanks. I'm getting better now, I've gotten some better advice and got a secured credit card and just charged a little and paid it right off, rinse, repeat. My credit has gotten better.


Good for you! It's tough now becuase I am trying to pay off a college loan, save for my kids college and try to give them what they want. This ins't a thereapy session so I'll stop complaining becuase I am in a good spot, just got bills like everyone..


Yeah, sometimes it feels like an endless pit. I read that when your kids go to college you should take all their paychecks. Lol, I would have gone nuts if my mom tried to take my checks like that.


When I was little, I had a paper route and then started working when I was 15, outside of school hours. My mom used to make me save 60%  of my pay check. I thought she was the worst. Then I paid cash for my first car when I was 18. I kissed her right on the mouth that day!


I'll bet! I'm the mean mom too, I take most of their birthday and holiday money for their college accounts. THey have enough toys and stuff as it is.


Good for you! I can't wait to do that more and watch it grow. They spend their money on Pokemon cards. I need them to learn though...


Are they on Facebook? Social media is so crazy these days. Facebook has more than 2.2billion active users not and is valued at $104 billion.


They are not on FB yet. They are 7 and 5 so I have a few more years. I am not looking forward to those years. Are yours on social media?


No, mine are still small. I'm not looking forward to it either. I deleted mine, it was so obnoxious. I read Burger King had a promotion where if you unfriend 10 people, you get a free burger, honestly, that sums up the facebook experience for me lol.


HA! Me too. I hate it but need it for work, maybe that's why I hate it. Nice chatting with you!


annoying so far: ) I'm waiting for UPS to deliver my boxes and they keep rescheduling ;) how was Yours ?


yeah I don't get it... 212 was the quickest number to dial ? Wouldn't it be 111 ?


ya it may be and it is easiest for dialing


...so the cables carrying phone and internet data across oceans are only 2.7 inches in diameter and just lay on the ocean floor ? What if some big ass fish will bite through them ?


Nothing will happen like that they use protective measures to prevent fish from harming the cables


...and they keep the agent on the ocean's floor as well ? ;)


Did You know that an iphone has more computing power than the entire us nuclear icbm deterrent ?


ya it is a new technology which was added as a advantage to the iphone


I prefer Android personally. I like Huawei's phones


that's a popular choice, using androids over iphones


...so why don't You have an android phone ?;)


i have to own an android phone after this Christmas eve


great talking to You, Merry Christmas  !


Hello there, do you play or watch golf much?


I used to play but I do not any more. Do you play/


Yeah I used to play a lot more, but I will play again this next summer, I tore my ACL and had surgery this past so I couldn't play at all.


Oh you know trying to play against people half my age in indoor soccer lol.  Do you know how much water goes into watering golf courses each day?


HA! I know people that have done that! I do not. How much?


A crazy amount, like 312,000 gallons on average, but a course in Dubai goes through almost 4 million!


Wow! Doe they have an extraordinary high standard or do they just have hot temps?


I think they have very high temps with very little rain, and tons of money to spend!


They do have money! I had no idea Babe Ruth golfed too.


I didn't know their either, I guess he was a famous one too, but never heard that fact.


Samuel L Jackson plays golf twice a week. It is written in his contracts too!


That is one smart man!  I think that is very cool, I would do the same if I was a movie star!


Me too! Except instead of golf, it would be for sleep or drinks. I am not a productive person.


Well hey more power to you if that's the way you would want to go, I would be down for sleep and drinks in mine too! lol.


Maybe we could do one day of productivity and one day of leisure. Ok, maybe one morning or productivity and 1.5 days of leisure.


Hey I like that kind of contract talk lol.  I think the US lags behind when it comes to productivity and leisure.


As in they are too productive or not productive enough?


As in we work too many hours, and don't take enough leisure time as compared to other countries.


I agree! I wish we could slow everything down. I am guilty of it too. I am always moving and want nothing more than a slower pace of life.


Yeah I am the same, and I think we have to teach young people that life isn't just about work, work, work.  Anyways, it's been nice talking with you, I hope you have a good day!


Same here. Do you like to watch television?


Yes. I watch television a few hours a day.


Spots. Comedy, Mystery, science fiction.


Oh cool! Do you like watching the Simpsons?


I can't believe there is just one episode where bart neither appears nor is mentioned. I wonder which one!


Yes, considering that  there  have been so many episodes.


No. I never got into it. Is it any good?


It was as a kid when I watched it years ago. Now there are 750 episodes. That is about 50 a year for 16 years straight!


That is a lot per year. They dont do that anymore.


No. I have never played. Except min golf.


Same here. I can't believe golf courses take up more land space than rhode island and delaware combined.


Its very popular. I have friends that play.


babe ruth was a famous golfer besides baseball player. Anyways, great chatting with you have an awesome day!


Hi! It's crazy to think the three wealthiest presidents in US history were Jefferson, JFK and Washington!


Yeah you would think some of the more modern ones would be on there as well.


Agreed. I wonder how rich that Indonesian president that has released three pop albums while serving in office is?


I wonder if they were popular or if they were just terrible? Seems like his time would have been better used to serve his country.


Agreed.  I suppose when you're head of state, it's more like beinf a celebrity than a leader. Heck, even the president's guest house is bigger than the white house here in the US!


That is crazy! You would think it totally would be the other way around. I wonder how it compares to other president's houses in other countries.


I wonder? I bet it wasn't bigger than the first president of Zimbabwe's house. You know he was actually called President Banana? Ha!


Wow how does one get a nickname like that?


Good question. I can't imagine how! Ha! But I suppose he was voted in for a reason! Speaking of voting, I've heard 34% of the male African American population of Alabama has lost their right to vote. That's crazy!


That is crazy! I wonder why? It seems like it is really easy to lose the right to vote in the US though.


Agreed it is. Crazy it's so easy for citizens to lose their right to vote when an astronaut can actually vote from space. Ha!


I suppose you want to cast that vote to have some say in what kind of planet you come back to.


Very true! Hey, at least it's not like UK pre-1918 where not all men had the vote, right?


Wow I wonder if it had to do with their class system at the time. It seems like the poor are always marginalized when it comes to having their voices heard in elections.


Agreed. I mean, look at what the Indian government does: they actually set up polling booths in lion infested forests for single voters. That's so inhumane!


That seems like a colossal waste of time. Why not just send someone to get him and bring him to a polling place? I wonder if anyone got eaten.


It's sad to think about. Makes me never want to travel there. Or places like Japan where it cost more than $300 to travel across the country as all the highways are tolls. That is ridiculous!


I would be willing to pay that though if it meant the roads were going to be better maintained. Some of the country roads that I drive on are horrible. I've wrecked suspension parts.


That is true. Hey, though, maybe we can be like the Dutch and create a commuter bus that can travel at 160 mph speeds!


I would be terrified to ride that bus. I can't imagine taking something as tippy as a bus around a road at those speeds.


You do make a great point! I've been thinking about checking out Mackinac Island, MI. Motorized vehicles have been banned there for over one hundred years. Many uses horse and carriages or bikes. I'd love to see that. Well it was great chatting with you!


The internet has became the king of the world these days.


That was inevitable. This is the information age. I am surprised only 7% of people read the terms of service.


Excatly. That's why it is causing people to be less productive and in fact it is a real addiction.


This was a pretty funny and actually sensible fact: The current library of alexandria has a saved copy of the internet in case the internet burns down.


Though it does carry a vast range of information, it is sometimes too scarry....too much information kills a person too. Some things need to be kept curious.


I don't think there's such a thing as too much learning.


Surely there's no such thing as too much learning but somehow the WWW can be abused too when used wrongly.  I do agree that internet is great to be able to communicate and find information but it should also educate people the usage of internet.


Well, in a lot of ways the internet is unregulated. Who would teach them?


many ways that can be educated....teaching the young for instance, on the internet itself.


Schools usually focus on learning and using certain programs, not on navigating the internet.


to teach the young to know the usage would be important. Even as an adult, teaching them the usage is important too. Especially when most adults are surfing the net in the office instead of working.


So what would that mean? Firing people who get caught online at work? There's no real way of controlling the internet unless it's done in a state control like in China or Iran. And people still get around that.


yes, surely firing them. That's what some companies do after a couple of warnings.


Very few keep it up. They would have no staff left.


hmmm...i don't think that would be a problem because there are many people who wants a job if this employee is not performing well. why let them stay?


But most are not underperforming. We soend too may hours at work and there's always some downtime. Let's get back to the hit. Interesting that we used to elect a VP like this: 1805 in the us, the runner up in a presidential election automatically became the vice president.


It shows what we were like when political parties weren't so important. That would never fly now.


the role seems to be important while making things seems interesting to see how it goes.


yes it an important to support the entire area


What do you mean? The VP has to be basically the heir, the one who can step in at any time to take over.


That synagogue shooting in Pittsburgh was horrid.


Yeah. I remember that and being so disgusted. Between that and the Orlando night club shooting, I am exasperated...


Trump was right when he called it a "vile, hate-filled poison of anti-Semitism".


I believe they did.  But like Trump also said, "you can't allow them to dominate what we do".


Trump isn't the richest president. That honor belongs to JFK, Washington and Jefferson. Weird.


That doesn't surprise me.  Washington and Jefferson were big plantation owners.  JFK inherited daddy's money, like Trump.


At least none of them were called president banana!


Until 1805, the loser in the presidential election became vice president.  Can you imagine VP Hillary Clinton with President Trump?


They would get nothing done. Just bicker and yell. So like congress. Do you think Trump likes being president?


Trump is on the all-time ego trip.  He has a platform for anything he wants to do.


I just think he hates it. I can see him not running again and just letting pence run.


He certainly seems to enjoy campaigning for others and getting his position out.


I do not think he is built for politics where you have to serve the people and not your platform. I can also see Michelle Obama run.


Trump is certainly an unconventional politician.  What other politician could say that the death penalty should be back in vogue?


Ones from Texas? I am surprised that astronauts vote from space, I guess it makes sense but i never thought of it.


Every vote counts in a democracy.  India even set up a polling booth for a single voter in an area inhabited by lions.


I am not that committed to voting if it means I may get mauled by a tiger. Dedicated voters!


I sure that guy lived there all his life.  I wonder about the bureaucrats who had to set up and monitor the location.


I know just enough for when to take it to a shop.  LOL


HA! Yeah, me too. I do like cars though. I just cannot afford them. Do you watch silicon valley?


Ok, moving on! Do you watch South Park or Thomas the Tank?


I know South Park better than Thomas.  But I have heard of both.  I have also heard Ringo Star narrated 52 episodes of Thomas


What a strange choice for a voice artist. I wonder how he got it? Do you watch the simpsons?


I do.  There is only one episode where Bart isnt there or talked about .


It is called 4 wonderful women and a manicure. Season 20, I think. My son watches pokemon all the time. It feels like there are 751 episodes of that!


I think you are right about that.  Its been going on for 16 years.


I thought it was a lot longer than that... I feel like it has been around since the 80s. Maybe that's just what it feels like...


It missed me as a kid, but caught my younger brother, so mid 90s I think


Yeah, it missed me too but totally got my son. There was a 6 month period where that is all he would watch. I hate that show...


I was never a fan, even when my brother watched it.


Did you know McDonalds was the first ones with a drive thru?


Wasnt it because of the Soldiers couldnt get out of their cars in their fatigues?


Yes it was. I thought it was because we were lazy from their food.


Ha.  Did you know that it is LEGAL in south africa to put flame throwers on your car to prevent car jacking.


no, in South Africa.  Although I would like that feature to deal with  bad drivers.


Interesting fact: Robots can be controlled using rat brains. Did not know that.


What?  Rat brains?  They hook the robot up to the rat or they put the rat's brains in the robot?  So many questions!  The curiosity robot on mars sings happy birthday to itself every year.  I think that's kind of sad.


Not sure how it works, they do say the personality changes based on the rat.


That's fascinating!  I'll have to look that up later.  There's a paralyzed woman who has a robotic arm that she can control with her thoughts!


I would love that if I couldnt use those parts. Technology can do some amazing things.


I know, it's comforting to know what they are able to do...you know, just incase!


Yes, something as common as a car accident can bring the need for that. Did you know that vehicles used to use wooden trunks for storage?


That makes sense, I think I've seen that on older cars at car shows.  Speaking of cars, did you know it's illegal to warm up your car in Ohio?  My coworkers warm there cars up for anywhere from 10-20 minutes, they would all be in trouble!


Many vehicles turn off automatically after about 20 minutes too, if using remote start.


That's a good idea to have that.  There was a man in NY who bought a property that had a barn full of classic cars!


Would certainly make for an interesting project. I read that someone becamea  professional race car driver by beating aalmost 100,000 people in Gran Turismo, a video game.


What?  A video game led someone to become a professional race car driver?  I wouldn't think it would translate so well, cool!


Hahaha, me too!  Did you know the little arrow near your gas fuel gauge represents what side your tank is on?


I actually did not - my and my wife's gas tanks are on opposite sides and I have to remembr that driving up to the pump!


I know, now I look at the fuel gauge to see what side, it so much easier!


Did yo kow that McDonalds started with drive thrus in the seventies becase soldiers couldnt leae their cars while in their uniforms?


Wow, I had no idea!  That's pretty crazy.  Fortunately for the soliers they can leave their cars now, fortunetly for us we no longer have to! lol


Now I only go in if the window doesn't work or is frozen.


Me too, I hate going inside.  Are you a fan of the simpsons?  Homer has had over 188 jobs!


Yes I love that show! Andy Samberg is such a great character.


I agree! I find it so well written and Capt. Holt is great!


Yes he really is. The fact that it's in its fifth season shows how good it is.


I know. I cannot believe Fox let it go. NBC scooped it up in a good move by them. Are you watching this season?


Yes I'm glad they did. No I am not watching the season unfortunately. But it looks like they're featuring the same supremely funny cast.


Yeah. It is really funny. It has been a good season so far. I am really into it.


That's good to hear. I love comedies because they make me laugh and it's amusing to watch.


yeah Ryan stiles liked them so much he dropped out of HS to pursue a career in comedy.


Bold move. Did you know Comedy Central has cancelled over 100 shows since its creation in 1989?


It seems like it. Another big number is $200 million. That was the budget for  Evan Almighty.


How did they spend $200M on that movie? There's a stage hand walking around with $100M.


Ha ha yeah I don't understand that myself and you're probably right. Graham Chapman of Monty Python was a medical doctor until he gave up on his practice to concentrate on comedy. Very cool to follow your dreams.


Yeah. Seems like either career would have been successful for him.


Yeah what a lucky guy. Do you like drama? It Is actually considered a genre of poetry.


Yes I do. Traditionally, it was associated with a division between comedy and tragedy.


Hugh Laurie is the highest paid actor for a tv drama earning $700,000 per episode. WOW!


Wow that is well-deserved I think. I really liked Patrick Stewart and his acting in the X-Men. I would love to take his master class for drama.


I liked him in that too. It was nice chatting with you!


I do, I am on Facebook so much!  I am one of that 30% who uses it as a news source too.


I dont know if I rely on Facebook that much, its worth $104 billion dolars now, that is a lot of money


It has become very prevalent in society even a third of divorce filings in 2011 included the word Facebook


wow, a lot of unhappy couples because of Facebook, its ironic considering many of them probably started their relationship using Facebook


The original facebook engineers wanted to call the like button the awesome button.  That didnt catch on.


Yeah seems too much trouble, like button is a lot more simpler, wonder why its illegal in a German town though


I dont know, but it sounds kind of strange that that function would be illegal.


It does sound weird right, Facebook influences a lot of things around us, like Iceland, they are rewritting their constitution using Facebook


Wow.  Did you know there are 56 gender options other than male or female.  I didnt even realize there were that many genders


I didnt either, men, woman, trans, I cant think of more,


I am glad that they are being inclusive and allowing people to describe themselves as they see fit.


I think its a great thing as well, did you hear about that whopper promotion?


Yeah, where you unfriend 10 people?  That is pretty awesome.


Yeah getting a free whopper sounds like a nice reward, theres a lot of people I dont like on my page so a lot of free whoppers for me


It could definitely feed me for a week.  lol.   Im pretty addicted to the internet, how about you?


I am adicted to it as well, crazy how novelty clicking can cause an addiction


It is, when the internet is out, people can feel lost.  I know I do, especially at work.


I agree, its like a basic service now, can you imagine if that copy wasnt available and the internet got deleted? I bet a lot of people would die, a lot of riots and really serious consequences because of that.


Yeah.  So much happens online.  In 2001 neopets was the 4th most trafficked site, even more so than google.


Neopets? I dont know anything about that site, but if it beat Google then thats something, I might check it out after we finish this chat.


Yes, I mean I've created an account like over 2 years ago and I'm quite addicted since then... Why You ask ? How about You ? ;)


I don't use it often. I didn't realize it has only been around since 2004. Feels like forever.


Its a great way to catch up with old friends... oh, and the messenger is quite useful !


Yes it is. I didn't know you only have to be 13 to have an account. Seems quite young!


There is a age restriction ? I didn't know that...


Apparently it is 13 but differs by local laws.


I'm sure there are kids logged in not revealing their true age :)


Oh of course! Facebook was the highest valued company to date when it went on the stock exchange in 2012!


I'm not surprised, in these days if You don't have a Facebook account, You basically don't exist ;) lol


Haha. And to think, they were originally only for Harvard students!


Yeah, what's up with that ? Why would students need that... to transfer files? I mean they were socializing close to each other in real life, why would they need a social network ;)


Apparently they needed and so did the rest of the world. Haha. It was opened up to more universities then high school kids next.


lol, and Myspace turned down an offer to buy facebook for $75 million in early 2005... big mistake :)


Seriously! They were worth $104 billion in 2012!


yeah... is myspace even exists now ? lol ;)


I don't think so, it just sort of disappeared. Hard to believe Facebook was created by 5 college students! Pretty cool.


...and did You know that Facebook's "like" button is illegal in the german state of schleswig-holstein. I wonder why...


That's pretty funny. Shows you how widespread the website is!


Did You know that Facebook is primarily blue because mark zuckerburg suffers from red-green colorblindness ?


That's really interesting. I learned a lot today. Thanks for chatting!


I think I am on the internet 24/7 so yes! lol


Lol, same here.  I may or may not be addicted.


Oh oh that is a real addition that you might have.  I'm afraid to say that I also suffer from it.  It's an addition that's caused by the constant novelty from clicking links on the interent.


Well if mturk counts a good deal, then I am definitely addicted.  I mean i wouldnt need it at the top of Mt Everest... wait they have internet there?


I wouldn't have had to have been one of the people who had to build that cell tower! lol


Ha!  I dont read the full TOS though, it detracts from valuable link clicking time!


I'm guilty of that as well.  I wonder what we would do in case the internet burned down?  I hope they have a backup plan.


They do, its in the Library of Alexandria!


Whew.  I was worried there for a minute. lol


If there was no internet, that might cause the end to humanity.


Oh oh.  You probably then would have like the Facebook promotion that Burger King had going on.  Are you familiar with it?


Yeah!  I need to cash in on that one.  I could definitely lose a few people for a whopper!


Me too!  Iceland is rewriting their constitution via Facebook and is allowing the public to make suggestions and alterations.  Kind of neat.


Yes!  I can't believe it's already been 15 years since Facebook was founded in 2004.  Time is flying.


Wow.  Im getting old....  Ive had Facebook all of those years.  Got it when I was in college.


Crazy.  Even crazier is how Myspace turned down an offer to buy Facebook for $75 million in early 2005.  Hard to believe it was worth that much after just 1 year of being around.


True.  It has been great chatting but Ive got an appointment.  Have a great day!


Hi there! Do you have a favorite genre of film or tv?


Hello there, I do, I like watchinig House, what about you?


I do to! That was one of my favorite TV shows. Did you know Hugh Laurie is the highest paid tv drama actor? I guess he made $700,000 per episode. Crazy!


I knew he earned a ton of money but $700.000!! that is a lot more than I imagine, its crazy I agree.


Right? I loved that show, but I had no idea it was popular enough that they had that kind of budget! Do you like comedy?


I do like comedy, one of my favorite comedy actors is Bill Murray, what about you?


I like him! But one of my favorites has to be Demetri Martin- I guess he was accepted into Harvard law, but decided to go for comedy instead.


I guess he took a good decision, if something is not for you then you must persuit your dreams right? Its crazy to leave Harvard though.


Yeah I agree, although leaving an opportunity like Harvard is pretty serious. But he has been a pretty successful comic so I guess he's doing alright for himself!


I  guess he is, he wouldnt be the only one, Ryan Stiles dropped out of highschool to pursue his dreams


That must take serious confidence! Its interesting to see how those choices can change so much- apparently Michael Cain started taking drama in school because he wanted to be around more girls haha


That works too lol, I bet he didnt know that would eventually make him millions.


Crazy, huh? Do you like radio shows as well as tv?


I do like radio but prefer TV, did you ever watch Thomas the Tank Engine?


I didn't, but my kids love it! I heard they had some big-name narrators!


Yeah, Alec Baldwin, Ringo Starr and George Carlin, all big names


I knew about Alec Baldwin, but the others were a surprise! Did you ever watch 70's show?


Yes I use to love that 70s show, what about you?


Same! Although i guess it wasn't as popular with a UK audience- to was cancelled after only 10 episodes.


I can see why, remakes are usually really bad did you ever watch Pokemon?


I never did! But I read that they have quite a few episodes. Its been good chatting with you!


Hi there. Do you like the comedy genre? It's one of my favorites.


don't usually choose comedy film but am always up for a good suggestion.


Oh nice. Apparently 3rd rock from the sun is a good comedy show because it won a golden globe in 1997.


Now that I did watch and really enjoyed.  That was a good one.


Oh nice! I also like The Hangover which is technically classified as a bromantic comedy!


Never seen that one, or the other bromatic comedies.  That is a new genre for me. I will have to look for them to view.


Yeah some other ones in that category are Pineapple Express and Haroldand Kumar go to white castle.


I will look into them.  I'm still stuck on friends which was an all time favorite of mine.


Oh nice. Yeah that is an amazing show too


I never realized pokemon was a show on for 16 years.  Thought all kids did was trade pokemon cards.


Yeah I used to watch it too! With over 750 episodes it must have been popular!


Too funny.  Never watched south park either.  My kids did. I guess I was wrong generation.


Yeah it was definitely a funny show but you had to be into that kind of thing. Demetri Martin became a comedian after he dropped out of Harvard Law School!


It surprises me the actors, comedians that quit education for TV carreers.  Ryan Stiles dropped out of high school.


Dang! It is also funny what brings people into acting. Michael Caine did it for the girls.


Or out of it.  Jim Carrey doesn't make dramas anymore.  He wants positive films.


Good for him. Thomas the Tank Engine was super popular too with so many celebrity voices narrating!


Ringo Starr, George Carlin and Alec Baldwin were some of the voices.


Yeah very cool. The Simpsons is also a classic show. Only one episode ever did not include Bart.


Their crew sent flowers to south park when they aired the family guy episode.


Cool. Tv is cool because it is such a mass medium for entertainment and news.


fine ty and yourself.  are you a philly person?


No I am not but I have been there before.


Thought it funny that Wawa pretzels are mentioned with Rocky films.  Wawa pretzels are Wawa pretzels.  They're not the Philly pretzels!!!


Yes I do.  Man's best friend and a finicky cat!!


Thats cool. Did you know the dog was the first domesticated animal?


Yes for thousands of years.  I did not know they drank with the underside of their tongue though.


Yes and lets add elephants to that list. They are one of the only animals that understands pointing.


And here I thought elephants were known for their memory.


Not as much as I used to.   Maybe it's the fans I dislike.  Or maybe the political statements from players.


Yea I think so too. A long time ago bowlers made more than football players lol


Now that's interesting.  Hardly ever see that anymore.  Don't even see bowling alleys as much.


Yea There used to be 2 in my town but it was torn down and made into a convenience store.


Never knew there was a Eagles tailgate show on local cable.  Guess I didn't miss much.


Yes nice chatting.  Find some bowling alleys  it was fun!!


I love dogs. There is a tomb for an unknown one in honor of canines used in research


Nice. They have 12 blood types and there are blood drives


nice. They are so smart they can learn 1000 words


ANd they understand pointing as well just like elephants


Yeah and they reason better than the chimps do


Nice. In Istanbul they have machines that dispense water and food for the dogs


Oh that is nice. Do you know how they drink wateR?


Yes and all you do is feed it plastic bottles. No, how?


They drink with the underside of the tongue


Nice that is pretty cool. Did you know Google is a dog company?


I love it, U of Iowa painted the visitor locker room pink


I wonder if that is supposed to have some effect on the players


I wonder too. Do you know the highest score in college football?


Yes that was when Georgia Tech beat Cumberland 222-0


Yeah that was back in 1916 and still stands as a record


Yeah. Did you hear of that stadium in Teas that fits 18000 people?


Wow that is a lot of people, how much did that cost?


It cost about $60 million and it is for a high school


That is just wow. Nice chatting with you


yes, i do like horses. i have never ridden one. you?


I love horses and I've ridden them before. Icelandic horses have a fifth speed called tolt which is speedwalking for horses.


i did not know that! what are the other four speeds? i dont know them.


Not sure on the other 4 speeds. Dalmatians are associated with firefighters because they help calm and protect the horses.


I guess dogs help with many things. I also heard that dalmatians are deaf so they are not bothered by the sirens.


Oh wow I did not know they were deaf. Very interesting stat.


well, thats what i heard. i dont know any firefighters or dalmatians. i know that dalmatians probably dont have four speeds. Did you know that horses, sharks, and orangutans are all ticklish?


Haha I did not know that. Clint Eastwood has a mid-life allergy to horses even though he rode them in many of his movies.


That must be horrible for him! he had such a strong relationship and history with horses, too.


i dont really follow them. i heard about the lives of paris hilton and kim kardashian. they seem shallow.


They are very shallow people. Pixar Studio has a secret room that is visited by celebrities.


i guess it must be special in some way. what is it there? an old TV and a beer fridge? LOL


LOL not too sure on that. Did you know Robin Williams in the voice of the genie in Aladdin?


yes, he was great in that film! i figure that he made that film, with his spontaneous humor and voice work.


Did you know Judge Judy makes $123,000 per episode?


I am not surprised though. i figure that she is the only person who could do that show the way she does. she sure is sassy.


She is hilarious! I would not want to be on her bad side that's for sure.


she really has quite a sharp tongue. and she dispenses justice so quick. perfect for television!


Exactly. Well, it was a pleasure talking to you!


Have you ever been horseback riding? Horses are odd toed ungulate mammals.


You make them sound so romantic! Yes, I have ridden the Equus ferus. You?


Just a few times in summer camp as a kid. I would like to ride an icelandic horse for its fifth speed of speedwalking.


Nice. I would like to catch one of the truly feral horses left, Przewalski's horse. Just so I can say that I did of course.


Lipizzaner horses turn completely white by age 6. That would be a sight to see!


Type slower. There is an extensive, specialized vocabulary used to describe horse-related concepts, and I am a novice. Be gentle.


Have you ever seen the horse at the FSU games? Football is a fun game of kicking a ball to score points.


I have not seen the FSU horse, bt I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express. Did you know that horses, sharks, and orangutans are all ticklish?


That is fascinating! I would be scared to tickle a shark and get bit!


Let the orangutang do it and use the horse to escape... Unless you are in Iceland and on an Icelandic horse, because once an Icelandic horse leaves Iceland, it can never return.


Did you watch sesame street as a kid? My favorite episode was the one with carol burnett. She was the first celebrity to do a cameo.


She was awesome! Celebrity trivia is great too!  Here is one about Justin Bieber, a 30-year old guy who was banned from Facebook simply because he shared the same name as the famous Beiber!


Do you watch judge judy? I am not a fan. I'm shocked she is the second highest paid celebrity.


Really?  Almost as shocking as to learn that Paris Hilton was in the 2007 Guinness wold book of records for being the "Most underrated Celebrity"


Paris has the cutest dogs! Her simple life show was funny.


Cute as a Penguin? The Penguins of Madagascar, the movie, had a running joke of hiding celebrity names in the dialogue. I'll have to watch it to see if I''m listed!


That's another great movie. I miss robin williams. He was great in aladdin when he voiced the genie.


Yes, indeed. Warms my heart thinking of him. Also warms my heart to learn tha John Cena has granted more Make-A-Wish wishes than anyone else at 400!


I love to see celebrities doing charitable work.


Yeah. I wonder if Jena Marbles has done any? She makes over $300,00 per year from her YouTube channel!


Yes, I miss football season the day its over. Whats up the Patriots always having a mystery around them? I am not a Brady fan, myself.


Yea, there is always something dealing with the Patriots in the news! Same with the saints, have you heard about their cheerleaders?


Oh geez, yes! They are restricted from being in the same place as the players. Wow, thats super messed up and ridiculous.


yea pretty sexist. I wonder if they have chips in them like nfl players do in their shoulder pads


HA, yeah. I want an investigation called Cheer-Gate. Well, lets start with Bradys wife Giselle. She makes double what he makes, pretty impressive.


that is so impressive. She could play in the nfl technically, there is no rule for women playing


Oh man, that would be a hoot. They could probably make her a QB too. lol. Bill Belichick lists Tom Brady on the injury reserve every single week so maybe she can be ready, jk.


I knew that was their plan all along! She would be fine because the actual gameplay of a game is only 11 minutes!


Oh great point! A factual one too! Ya, Tom Brady had never thrown 30 touchdown passes in a season prior to 2007. But then he threw a record 50 that year. I think its because he doesn't eat strawberries,lol.


wow, I will stop eating strawberries and see if that helps me at all. Maybe I can get a wife making twice of what I am making! lol


Yep, we cracked the code. That was easy.lol Now onto some fun info about Pink Floyd. They actually were able to play in an ancient roman theater in Pomeii!! No audience allowed.


lol, I loved Pink Floyd, that would have be an interesting concert to not see!


Yeah, nobody got to enjoy it but the ruins of Pompeii. I heard the Creed concerts are so bad they have been sued by concert goers. Now that is embarrassing.


I would never see creed. How many people sued?


I heard it was four people. Maybe they were all friends,I don't know. I have seen the Ramones at OU over twenty years ago. They have played a total of 2,263 concerts and toured over 20 years non stop. That is some love of music.


Wow that is nuts, 4 people were that mad lol. I wanted to see the Ramones, that would have been a good show. I did see Linkin Park in 2001, great show!


Oh cool, I heard they broke record with their first album?


Yea and they had 324 shows in just one year alone! It was so great chatting with you!


That is also a lot of show like the Ramones. Ya nice chatting and tome to watch some Patriot game reruns. Thanks.


So do you care how bad Russia's economy is or isn't?


I think we should care about the world economy whether it's your own country or not. There are many factors that make this a global issue rather than just a Russian issue.


Good point. With globalization one economy can take a lot of economies down with it.


Each country brings a resource to the world stage and if one economy fails they'll need to account for it in some way.


Do you think what the President has done here spurred our economy, or just kind of kept it chugging along?


I think it's a means to keep a business going but you can only let something bleed for so long before it dies.


Agreed. From what I've been reading the tax cuts implemented has had minimal impact on citizens, and  have helped business a lot more.


Sure, but if this is a bigger economic issue with the value of the Ruble down and a two year recession, how does one decide who to give tax cuts to.


People want to go out and buy things and see a consumer boom. But just because the president says so doesn't mean it's happening. If the money isn't there, it isn't there.


I agree completely. In my opinion the economy isn't as great as we're being lead on.


Given the fact that this type of bailout has happened in the past just makes this feel like a campaign slogan. Government trust is hard to come by these days.


We have too many people with money taking advantage of this country right now, and they feel like they're doing the right thing, but in the backs of their minds they're doing what's best for their businesses bottom line.


If government was run like an actual business there would at least be structure in how things are done. Rather than pocketing money from special interests to keep their seat in office.


There is definitely is no structure right now.


Which really makes the voting process frustrating. We're told that every vote counts yet it's hard to believe things are being done in a legitimate manner.


The electoral college really makes no sense at all to me. Why have a popular vote, when it's possible that it won't make a difference.


Yeah, that still baffles me as well. Knowing that there have been a number of presidents elected by the electoral college rather than what the popular vote was. A 10% margin is huge when it comes to that.


I didn't vote for either large party candidate. I don't think I can say that I voted for a reality television host who tried to trademark the phrase you're fired. It's kind of ridiculous if you ask me.


I would agree. I wish the 2 party system would not be what we base our decisions on.


I wish all candidates were required to tell the whole truth, and not partial truths.


And at this point in our politics, that unfortunately includes being under oath. Not even just on the campaign trail.


At this point in our politics you're either on their side or you are worthless to them.


Agreed, the government has too much power over the amount we can actually affect change.


And it seems like they're doing whatever they can to only give the voting power to people who will go along with their agenda.


So much for checks and balances. They're so focused on whose side wins that little to nothing gets accomplished.


And we're probably due for another government shutdown in a couple of weeks.


In which the immigration issue will again be pushed to the forefront and declared a national emergency.


When everybody knows it's not a national emergency. It's just smoke and mirrors.


Right. And when we do actually end up having a national emergency we'll have our funds tied up in some wall that will supposedly make us "Great Again"


We don't need a wall. We need to spend the money on our own people first.


There are plenty of causes better fit for those billions of dollars. The truth is, no one knows whether it will be effective or not.


It was great talking with you today. Have a great day.


hi, how are you? what do you think of government?


I think the government is having issues right now, what about you?


govt is definitely having issues. i figure that the next election will be an interesting one. Did you know that astronauts vote from space?


I didnt know that curious fact but 34% of the black male in population cant vote, they lost their rights to vote


something is quite wrong about that. how did that happen? i think that voting should be a human right. it is a democracy.


I know right, they should have their right to vote back 34% of a population can really affect the outcome of an election


yes, i bet it does. not really a democracy if many people simply can't vote. i would like that changed. we need people to vote.


We do, so what are your thoughts on the presidency, Im just glad we have a president and not a dictator


yes, i figure that the next election will be one that gets a lot of people voting, whether they like Trump or not. he certainly is a controversial figure.


That is a sure thing can you imagine Trump as president and Hillary as Vice president? apparently the runner up of an election was elected vice president automatically before 1805


yeah, that would be a crazy system now. constant fighting. they probably couldnt be in the same room together.


No they would kill each other if they had the chance, nice idea for a reality show though


Maybe they could do duets and release some albums? a rap battle or something?


Maybe they could, if they work together they can achieve great things they can alway ask the president of Indonesia for help


the pres of Indonesia probably could help them with their careers. he could be their agent.


He could, not many release 3 pop albums while in office so he definetely has the experience


I am amazed that the man had time for that. he must have been great at time management.


Or a terrible president I wonder if he and president Banana were homies


true. maybe he had his priorities mixed up! LOL. they could have been true friends. Pres Banana? what a strange name.


I know right they must really love fruit in Zimbawe,


I guess! LOL Anyway, great chat! Have a great day!


That might be a fun topic for a Google search lol and great chat its been good chatting with you as well, bye.


Hello Im great, you? Do you like to watch series on Netflix?


I do like to watch netflix, what about you?


I love it, I  am excited about The Great British Baking Show, its one of my favorites so hopefully the new season is great.


It is. I watched all of them because it is a good show for my little ones. Do you like baking shows in general?


I do like baking shows, you know Netflix actually employs taggers who are paid to watch content.


From 9 - noon netflix is 33% of all north american bandwidth...


Thats a lot, I guess that a perfect example of how this company has grown, Netflix has 150 movies with a rating of 100% on Rotten Tomatoes.


WOW! That many? They spend 20 times more on postage than bandwidth though... Should cut down on that postage...


They should now you made me wonder how much they spend on bandwidth, must be a low charge.


I know. I am shocked by that especially since they no longer send out that many DVDs.


Yeah I guess so. you know that Netflix actually proposed Blockbuster to use Netflix as an online service of their own but they laughed at them.


Not smart. There's only one blockbuster left in the US.


I agree, I bet they are regretting  their decision right now, well they had it coming I guess.


They did. I find it funny when supposed experts can't see a tactonic shift in their industry!


It is, it sure has been a long time since TV was invented, I used to love The Simpsons.


Did you know there is only one episode without Bart? I am trying to find out which one...


I didnt know that but it would be fun to watch, I would google it as well.


I used to love Pokemon its like 750 Pokemons now right?


Yeah. I think my son has seen them all. I know he has that many cards. I usually end up washing one or two a month then getting mad at him when I am cleaning out the basin.


I think the show is really successful I like it a lot.


Hi! Did you watch the Super Bowl the other day?


Yes, Tom brady's jersey from the locker room was stolen. Did you know ?


Oh I thought that happened a couple years ago? I just know the game was pretty slow, especially for the playoffs. Did you know Brady has never, ever eaten a strawberry? More for me I guess LOL


Tom brady in NFL history to have won five super bowls and he also won all with a single franchise.


Oh wow. You know, for all that, the average engineer earns more in a lifetime than the average NFL player. But then, Brady isn't average I guess


He is the most valuable player in the history. He never eaten strawberry in his entire life.


Yes, I love concerts. My favorites live have been U2 and Peter Gabriel.


Pink floyd recorded a live concert at ancient time with no audience.


I don't think it was in ancient times, but the venue dated to classical Roman times.


I am more into indie music and rock. Although not all rock. I side with the Creed audience members who sued because they were so bad live


I love ice hockey. I think football is the most popular sport in the US but I'm not sure.


Foot is my favourite. The NFL has no written rule against female players. women would in fact be allowed if they met the eligibility requirements.


That's interesting. I wonder if someone will make it in as a kicker someday? They don't treat cheerleaders very well. The Saints even ban them from eating at the same restaurants as players.


Yes, NFl uses tracking chips embeddded in player shoulder pads to record a players move on the field.


Bill belichick lists tom brady on the injury report every week, even though he shows no sign of injury.


It's a clever move. Belichick is pretty cage-y when it comes to giving out information. Some reporters compare his code to the Omerta of the mafia.


Its very interesting. Who is your favourite musician ?


Oh like I said, I love U2 and Peter Gabriel. What about you?


Oh cool, we have something in common! What is your favorite type of concert? I know some people really prefer recitals.


Symphony is my favourite. What about you ?


I just love the accessibility of rock. It's so raw


Yeah it was nice talking to you, too. I guess football and music kind of do go together in some ways LOL.


They both happen in big stadiums sometimes for example. They can both take a physical toll. Linkin Park played over 324 concerts in one year after their debut album hit it big


Amazing! Its make ourself stress-free and make happier.


Yeah, music is pretty great when you're just listening. no stress


Yes, most of the time it make ourself calm and patience.


Not the Ramones, though. I mean they punked out for 20 years straight at one point LOL


You ever played football in school days ?


Yes, one of our teachers made us play. I actually have to go now, but it was great speaking with you. Have a great night :)


He there! It's football season! Did you know Tom Brady's wife makes more than he does?


Really? That's amazing considering how popular her is. The Patriots have been the focus of some mysterious situations, apparently.


Yes, like how Brady is on the injured report every week even tho he has no injuries!


That's bizarre. They have to keep people guessing seeing as he has won four Super Bowl MVP awards and many other titles.


Do you know he has NEVER eaten a strawberry in his LIFE!?


That's strange. I wonder if he is allergic or something? He has led his team to 15 division titles. more than any other quarterback.


Yes, but had never thrown 30 touchdown passes in a season until 2007. Then mysteriously that year throws 50!


Very strange. He is the first and only QB to reach 200 regular season wins.


Tons of mystery here! The Patriots have either lost or won the Super Bowl by 3 or 4 points all 6 tries.


That's incredible. Did you know an average nfl game only has 11 minutes of live gameplay?


I had heard that recently. I'm a little surprised. Or how about this...women are allowed to join, but must meet all of the eligibility requirements.


That's pretty cool. The first Super Bowl was held at the end of the 1966 season.


Wow! You really know your stuff! Did you know the NFL puts tracking chips in the players shoulder pads to record the moves on the field. There is also a chip in the ball tracking its velocity, rotation and speed.


That's neat! New orleans saints cheerleaders are forbidden from eating in the same restaurant as any nfl player. They have to leave if a player comes in!


That's rough. I wonder why. So, the average earning of an engineer is higher than an NFL player.


I find that surprising! I am looking forward to watching the playoffs and then the Superbowl the first Sunday in February.


Yes, that's not too far off! It will be played between the NFC and AFC champions and comes after having played 16 games with one bye week.


Very interesting culmination of facts you have there! I have a fact that is not NFL. Pink Floyd recorded live in Pompeii with no audience in 1972.


That's pretty interesting. I learned a lot. Thanks for chatting!


Yes, I think the presidency is a fascinating subject. In general, government is interesting.


Have you heard about the issues regarding Trump and the migrant caravan?


Don't really know much about the caravan. Are they coming up through Mexico?


I believe they are coming through Central America! The primary issue is getting Central American governments to create peace deals between rival gangs.


I wish there were a way that the US could help. Probably so much corruption there that any intervention would be fruitless.


Definitely, perhaps best to stay out of it. Wikileaks has sort of played a hand in exposing the true corruption of government.


Govts hate that kind of transparency.. The ultimate irony was that  Wikileaks published the government's plans to destroy Wikileaks. Who won that round?


Ahah I'm sure the government might win the war sadly. It's not just Wikileaks that fights the government luckily. One time a man in france impersonated a government official to sell the eiffel tower TWICE.


That guy was born to be a politician! He could have sold land in Nevada to the gov't, even if the gov't already owned it!


He certainly could have pulled it off. That's a lot of travel involved from France to there too. Are you a big fan of traveling?


I love traveling. I would love to go to Iceland, though they don't have trains to get around.


I've heard that! I think I'd prefer Holland, the Dutch are making a commuter bus that travels at 160 mph.


That would make for a great morning commute! I wish the US had systems like that.


It would certainly be less clutter than in some places in the U.S. In michigan, they have banned motorized vehicles in one area, and most travel by carriages or bikes.


I wonder how they handle emergency services there. Ambulances, police and fire need to get around fast.


I'm sure it suffers as a result. I wonder if ambulances have to pay tolls in general though. In Japan, it costs over $300 to travel throughout the country because of tolls, I'd hope they are exempt to it.


They should be. I think that the highways are probably free of traffic because of the expense.


It must have been easier and less expensive to travel in older times in general. The first person to travel the whole world was King Kalakaua of Hawaii, I wonder how much it must have cost him!


And it must have taken forever for His Highness to get around.


Maybe Trump will decide he wants to take that much time to roam around the world too!


I've always found the different systems of government interesting, especially in how it's evolved over the years


yes I agree, Government can be scary though like how the Chinese Gov literally censored the word for censorship


I mean, all governments have their drawbacks. I wouldn't want to live in Nevada where the government owns 86% of the land


no that sounds crazy, kind of cool though that Monaco got rid of income tax in 1869, they make a ton of money from the casino business apparently


Monaco is definitely on my list of places I want to travel to. France is another place. It's one thing for a man to sell the Eiffel Tower once, but to pull it off twice shows how well he is at impersonating government officials


haha that is crazy, very ballsy, I'm not ballsy enough to renounce my us citizenship, I guess the government publishes a list of the names of anyone who does that


They also supposedly had plans to destroy Wikileaks, according to an article published by Wikileaks


ah that is scary, did you know though that JP Morgan bailed out the USA back in 1985?


Sounds about right. One good side of governments though is that the one of Norway helped save the Amazon forrest by donating one billion dollars


ya that is good, crazy how often the gov shuts down though, apparently 17 times over the past 37 years, seems like a lot


That is a bit excessive. Another thing that I think is excessive are the $300 in highway tolls that it costs to drive across Japan


oh ya that is just silly, do you travel a lot? I guess planes are 10% slower today than the 60's to save on fuel


Interesting. Yet the Dutch are trying to design a bus that can travel at 160mph. Maybe that will replace some domestic flights


I would ride that! have you ever stolen a garden gnome? I guess people do that and then return them with photos of where theyve been haha


I haven't, but that's pretty funny. That bus might also be helpful in Iceland for those who don't have cars. Currently they use domestic flights to travel among the major cities


oh wow interesting but that sounds annoying haha, did you notice that airports put luggage claim farther from the travellers now? So instead of making it faster you just have to walk farther haha


Maybe that will be less waiting time for luggage. I wonder how much, if any, luggage King Kalakaua took on his venture around the world. He was the first king to travel like that


thats cool! Do you watch tv btw? like have you ever seen Shark Tank?


I've seen a few episodes of that show, and I've always wondered what happens to people after they make a deal


ya apparently those deals are almost never enacted, so that is disappointing kind of ruins the show if you ask me


Right. Kind of like the That 70s Show verbatim remake in the UK. They renamed it "Days Like These" but it didn't last past 10 episodes


no it was probably horrible haha, did you watch the simpsons? I guess homer had like 188 jobs in only 400 episodes haha


hey, so have you heard anything about this stuff with Bill Cobsy's trial?


oh my gosh, well, it's pretty messed up. Cosby's defense team called a witness to the stand, and this witness testified about one of the women who claims Cosby assaulted her ... this witness testified that the woman in question confided her plans to try to "set up a celebrity" with a fake sex-assault story.


What a problem, it seems that a whole conflict was created.


I know, it makes you wonder, doesn't it? It hasn't played out completely so it's possible that SHE is the one who's lying. What a crazy mess.


All a confusion. They should be more cautious


I tend to want to believe someone who says that they have been assaulted like that...I think it makes victims of assault look bad if a person thinks that they can make an allegation like that if it isn't true.


Yes, some do not think about what they do or are very ruthless, we ourselves damage the world more with what we do


Very true. It seems like it's very common for people to be less caring for others and more concerned with themselves. Like they've been taught that kindness is a weakness or something! I don't understand it, personally.


I much less, we pay for it at the end. Everyone is responsible for their actions, but I find it disgusting that there are so many unscrupulous people


Me too....it makes it difficult sometimes to be a decent person when it seems like there are so many other people who don't care to take advantage of others.


Yes, exactly. And the thing is that you can not stay behind and have to defend yourself. At least this is hard for me, but you have to know how to act


I know what you mean. I'm afraid to go out by myself at night, even if I'm just walking down the street to the store...I've had some scary experiences and it's made me want to learn how to protect myself, in case it happens again.


Well, it usually happens. I also work hours, I left quite late on the street. Even once my car was damaged and it was a problem


Last year I had a different job working night shift at a hotel and I am very glad that I work during the day now...we had a problem with cars getting broke in to and the owner started letting us park inside the garage at night, luckily.


Well, luckily I have learned my own defenses and I also have my merits with weapons


I think I may want to get a stun-gun or pepper spray, for self-defense. I'm too afraid to use a gun I think.


Well, it's not bad after you get used to it. At least you would not to take life, I have practiced to give in key points of defense


That's true. I suppose it wouldn't be that bad if I got used to it...I may go to a range or see if one of my friends can show me, it would probably make me feel more comfortable.


Well, if we knew more about who we are both, I would invite you to one. But luck, it was a pleasure


Hi there. Do you like learning about celebrities? In today's day and age they're so closely associated with wealth.


It's strange how much coverage celebs get, it isn't really that important Judge Judy makes 123,000 an episode


Yes that is a lot of money, only second to Lebron James.


Yea but a distant second considering how much Lebron must make off his endorsements alone


Yes that's true. Pixar studio has a secret room that is visited often by celebrities. I wonder what's inside?


I don't know, maybe Pixar's secret room has a bunch of champagne and nice food


Yes that would be nice. Carol Burnett was the first celebrity to appear on Sesame Street, I wonder if she has ever been in that Pixar room?


Or Robin Williams, he started the trend of celebrities voicing animated characters


Yes that's right that was for his character on Aladdin, the genie!


Yea, I wonder if the Ethiopian Chef who promotes eating more diverse foods has ever done voice over work


Good question but I doubt it. He is too busy trying to solve his countries hunger problem.


I guess so. It's pretty cool that Ringo Starr, George Carlin, and Alec Baldwin have narrated Thomas the Tank Engine episodes, I guess that's a good way to give back


Yeah a great way to give back. Do you like that 70s show? It was remade verbatim for the UK.


I heard so and it was called "Days Like These".


You are exactly right because it was canceled after 10 episodes.


That's pretty bad, on the flipside Pokemon has made over 750 episodes


That is a lot of episodes. Enough to watch about 50 a year for 16 years straight.


Yea, the simpsons had a lot of episodes too and Bart wasn't featured in just one


I wonder why they decided to do that? Maybe they wanted to make more room for ads since TV is a mass medium for advertising. Well I really enjoyed this chat thanks.


Yea me too, I wonder if the cups Japans PM gives out are on ebay, i'm gonna check it out


Yeah I would be interested to know that. Good luck with that and have a good day.


hey did you know the last time there was a president who wasn't a republican or democrat was 1853


No i did not know that! I do know that ever president that has had a beard has been a republican.


That is interesting I didn't know that, it's scary that the last president who wasn't elected with a Bush or Nixon was before 1928


Interesting facts. Well the first president of Zimbabwe was called president banana.


haha I wonder why? Like did he eat a lot of bananas? It almost seems like a demeaning name, kind of like the president's guest house being bigger than the entire actual white house


I'm surprised that the guest house is bigger than the actual white house. Its hard to imagine that until 1805 in the us, the runner up in a presidential election automatically became the vp.


Ya, I wonder what would happen if Hillary became the vice president to Trump, like that seems like it would cause so much chaos haha


OMG I could not imagine the chaos! The white house would no be big enough for that. The only thing that could possibly come out of it would be a reality TV show.


Haha somehow that is a show I would love to watch though, its just too bad it would have real world implications due to the dysfunction! pretty crazy that the president of indonesia has released 3 pop albums, I would definitely listen to a trump pop album haha


Lol yes that's exactly what we need! I don't think it would end up in the library of congress cultural significance section like tupac's music is.


I don't listen to him, do you? If it's in the library of Congress I would assume its very good. But I wonder who is making these decisions? Like are they rap enthusiasts? doesn't their personal taste color what kinds of albums they would choose?


No I don't listen to him either. I have no idea who makes these selections, who ever is is probably getting paid way to much lol.


lol yes I would agree with that, also the judge who gave her ruling in the form of a rap when doing a suit against eminem was probably paid too much and had too much time on her hands lol


I agree. I'm pretty sure there are more pressing issues going on in Michigan that needs more attention and thought but instead a judge takes the time to rap a ruling.


Did you see that in Korea, rappers do something called a "compliment battle" instead of what we have here where rappers do dissing matches?


Did you ever watch Rugrats? I need to watch where busta rhymes did the voice of the reptar wagon in the rugrats movie


I loved watching the Rugrats. I have seen the movie but I had no idea that his voice was in it. Apparently Eminem wanted to be a comic book artist.


That is crazy, and that his favorite comic book hero was spiderman, I would have thought it would have been spawn or something more hardcore, but maybe that was after his time


Yes, he does not strike me as a spiderman type of guy. Either way I'm pretty sure he turned out ok. I think he has made his millions and numerous awards just fine


Yes I'm sure he's doing fine, I wonder what kind of comic book he would have made though, great talking with you btw!


Yeah, dig more of the older stuff like Tupac.  You?


Nice. Yeah I agree. The new stuff really sucks. Eminem will always be one of the best although he initially wanted to become a comic book artist!


What a different music world it would be if he had. I heard there was a judge who delivered her ruling in a suit against Eminem. I wonder how her flow was?


Interesting. Yeah would have been funny to hear. I also liked Busta Rhymes and he voiced the reptar wagon in the 1998 rugrats movie!


Seriously! I am not a huge fan of Korean rappers but they created a new type of freestyle called "compliment battle".


What do they say. I find your rhymes tasty and your demeanor pleasing?


Lol not a bad guess! The earliest precursor to rap was actually from the West Africa.


Interesting. You can see the precursor to it in the stuff Muhammed Ali used to say.


Yeah very true. Interesting how rap was part of the Black rhetorical continuum but now a lot of white rappers are finding success like Logic, G-Eazy. But Eminem definitely paved the way.


Speaking of music the Indonesian president has released 3 pop albums. I wonder if he rapped on any of them.


Wow yeah that would be interesting to listen to. I wonder if he was rich in comparison to US presidents. The top 3 wealthiest US presidents were JFK, Washington, and Jefferson. But now Trump I bet.


I wouldn't be surprised if he wasn't that high in the list honestly. WOuldn't mind staying in the President's guest house though.


Yeah that would be awesome and crazy to think it's even bigger than the White House!


I feel like we need to give our president's better nick names. The 1st president of Zimbabwe was nicknamed "President Banana".


Haha classic! It's quite interesting that there hasn't been a US president who wasn't a republican or democrat since 1853!


Those parties have a lock on the system. It would be nice to see a 3rd party some day. Ol' Theodore Roosevelt had teh Bull Moose party back in the early 1900s but they lost.


Bummer. Yeah we need more variety. The GOP, or Grand Old Party, is so old school and traditional.


Maybe the new party could be orange since Repubs and Dems have red and blue locked down.


I would love to see that! Apparently to be a republican you have to have a beard! Well Trump proved that wrong!


How's it going, do you like JFK, Washington, or Jefferson? They are the 3 wealthiest US presidents


It's going good!  Interesing!  Do you know what they called the first president of Zimbabwe?


President Banana, maybe he was wealthy from selling bananas


lol  The US presidents guest house is larger than the white house.   Must be to make visitors more cozy.


Maybe, I guess the President's guest house has to be larger than the White House to accommodate the visitors of staff


That's a good point!  Up until 1805 the runner up in the US presidential elections automatically became the vice president.  I could see Hillary and Trump duking it out if that was like that today.  lol


A Hillary Clinton/Trump administration would make one hell of a reality tv show


Yes it would. lol  The president of Indonesia has released 3 pop albums while in office.  He might fit in with those 2 and that reality show!


Trump would probably release 4 pop albums just to say he released more than the President of Indonesia


Yea, Trump has already hung out with Kayne West, they could do a collaboration


Yes that's right! Hahah  Rapper Tupac Shakur's music is in the library of congress of "cultural significance"!


That's awesome, I'm a huge Tupac fan, nice to see it recognize by the Library of Congress


I agree!  Eminem wanted to be a comic book artist before he became a rapper!  I didn't know that.


I didn't either, I did know Eminem was a comic book fan thought and liked Spider man


In 2001 a Michigan judge delivered her ruling in the form of a rap when trying a suit filed against Eminem. lol


I'd hate to hear that Judge's rap, sounds unprofessional and awkward


Yes. lol Korean rappers invented a new type of freestyle called compliment battle.  I bet that sounds differebt


Probably, but I can't understand Korean and wouldn't be able to understand anything said in the compliment battle


Rapper Busta Rhymes voiced the Reptar wagon in the 1998 Rugrats movie. I forgot about that.  It's been fun chatting!


Hi!  What do you think about the current resident of the Oval Office?


Well I guess at least he does not release pop albums like the president of indonesia does!


Perhaps he could pull one off though, how could we know?


Haha, funny, I had thought about him rapping before. I'd listen. Though he wouldn't be my favorite rapper. Eminem is.


I liked him better when he wanted to be a comic book artist. I am not anti-Eminem, I just prefer elevator music.


A Michigan Judge delivered her ruling in rap form when she was trying a suit that was filed against Eminem.


The thought of it was probably better than the execution. I doubr it will be filed under "Cultural Significance" in the Library of Congress though...


Yeah, I heard Tupac's music is there. I like his music as well.


I would love to hear some Korean freestyle "compliment battle"


What do you think about Kanye? He is a rapper and supports Trump.


He is a free thinker, I give him that! Problem with those that think out loud is that not everyone agrees with the thoughts... There has not been a President that wasn't either a Dem or a Repub since 1853, so Kanye doesn't have much to choose from...


Who is red and who is blue again? Those colors have only consistently been in use for that purpose since 2000.


Red stands for the party of embarrassing behavior and blue stands for the party that stinks so badly that you want to hold your breath when you are around them.  Did you know that every US President that has had a beard has been a Republican?  Why are they not known as the Fuzzy Party?


Haha, well fuzzy I associate with cute animals. Speaking of animals, Harry Truman didn't want to be photographed on the Dumbo Ride so he wouldn't be associated with republicans.


But he could have captured the votes of elephant enthusiasts everywhere!  His loss. I guess he rode a Donkey home then?


Funny. The last time a Republican was elected president without a Nixon or Bush on the ticket was 1928.


And as I recall, that time period was not a great period in our history either...  Wasn't there a great depression around 1928-1929?


And the Republicans had been dominating politics nationally between 1860 and 1932.


Population demographics are shifting markedly these days. Who knows what the future holds... and wht the effects will be ion the power structures in Washington...


Yeah I don't like to think about politics too much because it's so depressing. Ady Barkan says that hope is themost important political tool we have though.


I hope so.  Maybe Busta Rhymes will run for president in 2020? He already has the Rugrat vote because of his voice acting in their movie...


Haha, I liked the Rugrats. I'm going to go watch some cartoons now. Have a good day!


hi how you doing today? would you like to talk about the presidency?


Yes I would, what are your thoughts on our current president? do you like him? share his views?


i do not share his views. i think that his election came about through unusual circumstances.


I agree, he did win while losing the popular vote so Trump started out with a divided country


it will make for an interesting election in 2020. trump says and does things that bother many people, but that was true for the 2016 election.


Do you think he will get re elected, he sure seems to think his getting another term.


i would like to see either someone else in there, or a Trump that has learned how the office work. i dont really expect the latter to happen.


I dont really, I hope people can vote better this time around, did you know his not among the richest presidents in US history!


i thought he would be the richest, but i guess JFK was very rich. his father had money.


I guess he was really rich, I would have place Trump in second place at least but apparently his not in the top 3


he could make a bunch of money by releasing pop albums. that might work.


It might, he can then reach the top 3 and if his really successful even place #1


yes, he could climb the rankings and be the richest ever. i wonder what he'll do with the money. Run for president? LOL


Lol his already done that so its hard to tell maybe go to space and be the ruller of the moon, that would be nice, having him as far away as possible


the moon is a dangerous place. oh well. he'll manage. do you pay attention to celebrities much?


I do, I am a fan of many celebrities, do you?


i dont really pay attention much. i know some people follow kim kardashian and paris hilton. i am not very interested.


I like older celebrities better like the deseased Robin Williams, now he had real talent


he is sorely missed. he was a genius and made people laugh. it is a tragedy what happened to him.


It is a real tragedy depression can really play a trick on your mind, he was the actor who started the trend of voices in animated films so he really left a legacy behind


Yes, he really broke into a lot of new areas. he was an innovator. anyway great chat!


He was an innovator the world of movies lost a lot that day, and it has been a great chat, thanks a lot for all the cool facts.

I don't either, I usually follow comedians mostly who bring laughter to this world


I like comedians. people need to laugh. paris hilton and kim kardashian? no thanks.


Please no! I don't think they contribute positively to america in my opinion. I like celebrities that show up on sesame street
