Yeah I guess Baker was a law student at Howard and Leggett was the dean who pushed him to finish school. Cool story! I don't feel like I don't hear happy political stories often enough haha


That's the truth! It sounds like toward the end they both had a lot of personal things that pushed them to leave.


Did they? I didn't read that part. Does it sound like they were still on good terms when they left? I couldn't tell!


They were, but aparently one of the spouses had alzheimer's and the other lost his father in that last year.


Oh wow. That's rough. On a happier note, I was reading some interesting trivia-type facts on elections. Did you know since 1900, the taller presidential candidate has won the election 75% of the time?


Thats cool! Interestingly less than 63% of people have turned out for elections in the last 100 years


That's crazy! I know not everyone votes, but thats a pretty low number. Did you know officials in ancient Athens were chosen via lottery because they wanted to avoid a potential oligarchy? Apparently they thought thats what voting would lead to


Lottery! I guess then there is a chance everyone could be in charge. In nevada you can vote for none of the above!


I read that too! I wonder what would happen if everyone selected that. I guess its only one state in a presidential election so maybe it wouldn't be noticeable.


I may move there and try it out next time! Hopefully they don't block poll observers like was done in 2012


Yeah that option might have come in handy for the last election! I wonder if they give the same option for smaller/local elections?


My favorite album was written and released by Pink Floyd in 1973 but still a best seller in 2014


Yeah! I love Dark Side of the Moon! Not surprising its still relevant. Did you know Straight Outta Compton was the first album to go platinum without touring or airplay?


Speaking of rap, apparently there were two 100 year old twins who released a rap album together in 1992...probably didn't go platinum but kind of a funny fact!


Hi there ! Looking forward to chat with You ! ;)


By any chance You're Linking Park's fan ?


I do like Linkin Park may favorite CD was hybrid theory. what about you?


I like a song or two - yeah -  "hybrid theory" is the best-selling album of the 21st century - pretty amazing. Do You have a favorite song ?


My favorite on that album is In the End.


YES ;) mine too. That vocal was amazing ! ;)  was... such a shame...


It is really too bad. What other music do you like?


Mostly classic rock, blues. Some metal or Celtic folk - how about You ?


I have a pretty diverse taste in music. Rap, R & B, Classic Rock, pop ect. I was really into rap as kid did you know the Nwa's straight outta compton was the first album to reach platinum status without the suppor airplay.


Naah man, I didn't know that ;) I never liked rap - no offense, I didn't find it... well - musical enough ;)


TO each their own. I got into it because I liked Tupac and his lyrics and poems. There where two identical twins from Japan that made an album at the age of 100.


I will never understand that ;) ( the "Tupac" thing )  - 100 years and they made an album ? music album ? Do You know what kind of music ?


Lol. Foreign rap is not my cup of tea but good for them. Did you know that Darkside of the moon is still one of the best selling albums even being 40 years old?


Thank God we're talking about music finally ;) Well I'm not surprised it's a great album and after all those years I still can't get enough of it - I just bought a vinyl like 2 weeks ago... do You like Pink Floyd ?


I do I am pretty eclectic. What is your favorite song?


from that album ? I think "Breathe" and "Time"  I do love The Division Bell and "High Hopes" on that album. Plus entire "The Wall" ;) what's Yours ?


From darkside of the moon I would agree with breathe and over all Pink Floyd song Idk there are so many to pick just one


You are absolutely right my friend ;) I hope Roger Waters will do another tour in US, I want to see him again ;)


That would be awesome. What other music do you like?


I love Joe Bonamassa, Nirvana, Dire Straits, Metallica, -recently I've discovered Black Country Communion and Kingdom Come ;) and if You like something really peaceful I recommend Loreena McKennit ;)


I think it is interesting how people can vary so much. Even with my kids. My oldest likes rap and pop, my youngest likes pop and my 4 year old likes rock and classic rock.


oh good for them :) my daughter when she was like 1, she was always falling asleep to Metallica ;) it was her lullaby :)


Nice, he is like rock radar. He always finds good music on the radio. The other two just want to listen to uptown funk on repeat


that's ok, what's most important is that they like music - taste will probably change once or twice in their lives ;)


Hey it was great chatting with You today, thank You ;)


hi how are you? Do you listen to albums these days?


Hi, I'm good. Yes I listen to albums. Are you familiar with the Moody Blues?


Yes, i am! wow, that is going back a ways. what album?


I go back a ways. The Dark Side of The Moon was one of the best selling albums of 2014.


Yes, it was a great album and continues to get new fans every year. Have you tried the dark side of oz, since you go back a ways?


Watch the Wizard of Oz. at a certain point in the film, turn on Dark side as the soundtrack.


Okay I'll give that a try. Given how quickly we have gone from records, to tapes, to Cd's, how long do you think is will be before Cd's are obsolete?


No need for physical media soon. i figure people will not want to own stuff that takes up space.


Exactly. But there are still people who think that 33's have a better sound. I'm not one of them. What do you think?


I do not see the value in old recordings on old media. they are warmer because of the high end roll off but i figure you can emulate that with software.


I think so too. Are you old enough to remember 8 track tapes?


I do remember the 8 trax. i never owned one. i guess they sounded better? seems to be expensive but not that much better.


No they didn't sound better. But at the time it was the first media that you could play in a car. We thought they were great. But they really sucked.


Yeah, people like convenience more than quality, i think. the walkman was convenient but the sound was limited.


Yeah, I think they just didn't have enough power to generate good sound. But I think the ultimate is still the reel to reel if you don't mind the space they take up.


Wow, that is an expensive setup. I would rather have something convenient. i like sound, and appreciate good sound, but i dont have the money for the high end. LOL


I don't either. But I think recording studios still make the initial recordings on these devices.


I thought things would be digital now for convenience. Anyway, great chat!


Yes. Thanks for the chat and have a good evening.


Do Youtube personalities that are famous count as a celebrity? If they do, I really like a dude named Michael Jones.


That is fine me with, I think celebrity is anyone famous to many people. What does Michael Jones do?


He works for a company called Roosterteeth, and to be fair they have made 2 movies which he was the main character of both.


interesting I will have to check it out. I wonder how much he makes for those. Judge Judy makes like 123000 per episode


Speaking of Judge Judy, did you know her bailiff Petri Hawkins-Byrd makes a million per year from that show, pretty crazy since he doesn't really do anything haha.


WHAT! i would love to do that and get paid that much to stand around and be in front of the camera, lol!


Yeah that is pretty crazy money for doing literally nothing lol. Did you know that robin Williams started the trend of celebrities doing voice overs for animation with his role in Aladdin?


I did not know that, I still don't get why celebrities need to be in animated films because of their voice, but it was awesome though


For me it really depends on the voice, Robin Williams was almost made for animated voice acting just because of his range in doing different voices.


Yea lol, he was amazing, sad he is with us no longer! I wonder if he got to visit Pixar's secret room for celebrities


I am sure he did, as much animation work as he was doing. Did you know Carol Burnett was the first celebrity to appear on Sesame Street?


Wow, I never knew that. I was just watching that with my daughter, it is all celebrities now!


Did you there has not been a US president that was not a republican or democrat since 1853? that just shows how strongly people believe in the two party system.


wow, I wonder who that president was, do you know?


It was Millard Fillmore, he was part of a party called "the Whig Party".


lol, they need to bring the Whig Party back, I am all for that, lol!


Yeah the two party system in my opinion is not working all that well anymore, every time a president is up for election it just turns into a slug fest and who can find the worst stuff out about the other and air it out in front of the world.


Right, I am interested to see how the debates go this time, Trump can't just bully them this time. It was so nice chatting with you!


I am hoping he does not get away with his shenanigans again this coming year as well. It has been a nice chat.


Sorry, Beto O'Rourke.    I've been reading about him.


No, I believe he was running as a Democrat.


So what have you been reading about him?


I read an article about why he supports National Football League players.


I would guess that he appreciates anyone expressing political opinions.


The NFL players were protesting police brutality right?


I believe so, but the specifics do not matter so much.     Beto O'Rourke appeals to young people.


Well, younger people tend to vote away from what they perceive as the "get off my lawn" candidate.


Is it because younger people can't stand the gop?


I do not know.    It is ironic that the GOP started as the party of classic liberalism.


What do you think about the republican party as a whole?


I find it interesting that every president with a Beard has been a republican.


What a coincidence. Another coincidence may be that since wwii, the us economy consistently performs under democratic presidents


Perhaps the country could elect someone from a third party, breaking the nearly 170-year string.


I believe Roosevelt came incredibly close as a 3rd party, but stopped just short


I wonder if Roosevelt could have gotten into the celebrity room at Pixar, had the studio existed.


Perhaps, afterall, if I was Pixar, it would be an honor to have roosevelt visit. In any case, thank you for the enjoyable chat.


Hi there what do you think about the Republican party? It's definitely had a long history


It certainly has, although I would say I align myself more politically a little blue.


ya I agree, but what is interesting to me is that we have had a democrat or a republican always elected to president since 1853


I wonder if the two party system has always been that strong that a candidate from another party cant break through.  Like 15% of tea party supporters aligned themselves as democrats


That is interesting. Another interesting fact is that every president with a beard has been a republican. I wonder why that is


I dont know, I wonder how many that is, I know lincoln for sure,


Yep you're right. I know you said that you lean blue, I guess that red and blue has only been consistently associated with Republicans and Democrats since about the year 2000, I always thought it was a lot earlier than that


I did too, I wonder when the Donkey and Elephant came into play, if those are more recent too or if they have a history as well.


That's a good question. Also I heard that Harry Truman would not get his picture taken with Dumbo because he was a Democrat and obviously Dumbo is an elephant, that seems pretty dumb, would a republican not get his picture taken with Eeyore?


Im not sure, it might be something the Simpsons would parody (and subsequently anger Fox news)


What's interesting to me is that Ronald Reagan campaigned for the Democrats back in the day, he actually did not like corporate profits and low wages and was railing against them


Wow.  I think the lines of political parties are becoming more and more defined, and more people tend to go to extremes more now than in the past.


I agree, do you like any current celebrities? I know that Judy makes a ton of money and shes pretty famous


I do like some of the current celebrities.  I like Judge Judy's attitude and sarcasm.  I think its crazy that she is just under LeBron for highest paid celeb.


Yep you're right. He makes about $120,000 per episode, that's insane, do you like Robin Williams? I'm pretty sad that he's gone


I agree, I loved his work.  He was such a pioneer in the field.  He really started the trend of actors voicing animated characters.  It is a shame that someone who lit up the world of others was struggling so much.


Yep I agree with you. I wonder if he ever got to visit the Pixar secret room. They have a secret room just for celebrities, I hope he was able to


I wonder what their qualifications for celebrity are, like if the person has to be current, or from the US?


Yep that's a good question. for instance, there's a celebrity chef in Ethiopia. Would he be allowed to enter haha


From what I hear he is doing work towards fighting hunger in his country.  That would qualify him in my book, although I dont even know his name.


I agree with you there, he's trying to help his countrymen to eat foods that are more diverse so that they can combat the hunger, but again I don't know if he's gotten access to that room, maybe we should start a fundraiser for that haha


Now I kinda want to become famous so I can go see that room.  Maybe its just a plain room with some couches and beverages that they play us so the rest of us wonder.


Haha yep or maybe it's just an empty room lol, have you ever seen the show Sesame Street, I guess the first celebrity ever appear on there was Carol Burnett


Im great, did you watch the Black Panther movie?


It was pretty good, you should watch it sometime, Chadwick Boseman plays the role of Black Panther


I'll have to check it out. Do you like soundtracks?


I do, some movies have great sound tracks, do you?


I do as well. Steven Spielberg played the clarinet in the Jaws soundtrack.


Oh so that was Spielberg, nice I didnt know he was a musician as well


I didn't know that either. O Brother Where Art Though is certified 8 times platinum.


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


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


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


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


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


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


You should be able to find the video online.


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


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


Have you watched the movie Black Panther?


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


I would love to be able to read! Unfortunately, I am illiterate. I cannot read a word. What about you? Do you like to read?


But if you are illiterate how can you read what Im writting now! just wondering lol, and yeah I do like to read, I dont always have the time though


I guess I'm a good guesser. I don't know. I were always called slow when I were young. I look to go to the library and look at the books.


That seems a bit messed up,well I like reading and wasnt great at it always so with enough hard work anyone can do it


I'm giving it my all, but I just can keep up with how fast I type. I put the words on the screen, but I type too fast to read them all. If I went to prison, I would read all the time.


I guess theres not much to do in prison so reading might be one of the few things that can keep you entertained


I should say so? I couldn't just sit watching others read. I'd have to read myself. Did you hear about the guy that studied law in prison? That's an incentive to learn.


I didnt, can you tell me more about him?


He was falsely imprisoned. He knew he has to do something. He studied law and found a way to get exonerated. He now helps others get out of prison. A hero. The man is a hero.


I agree, he is a hero and that must have taken a lot of guts and determination, studying so hard that you can eventually set yourself free.


I think it's inspirational. Reading can set you free. I don't believe that there are more libraries than McD's. That's not possible. Obesity is epidemic, but reading is not.


Thats amazing, more libraries thatn McDonalds!!!  I guess there is no excuse for not picking a book up,


What if I'm eating at the moment at McD's? I wouldn't want to get my books greasy.


Yeah probably not a good combianation, McDonalds and books, Norway supports writters they have a law thats really beneficial to them


That's an incentive to keep writing. Usually it's hard to be a writer, especially if you're illiterate like me. But maybe I'll move to Norway.


Yeah if you become a writter the government will buy 1000 from you and if its a childrens book they will buy 1500


I wonder how much money I would get from that. Is it enough to live on? How many books would I have to write every year? Do they have to be good? I have questions, and I cannot speak Norwegian or even read.


I dont know, I guess 1000 books at a right price can be enough for a few months or even years and then you can write another one and so on so it seems like a good business model


But it's cold in Norway! Maybe I could go to concerts. Do you go to concerts?


I do like attending concerts, I love music in general theres an amphitheatre in Croatia I would like to visit some time


I do . Do you know how Stan Lee ended his calls


Yes he ended them with the word exelsior


Yeah pretty cool DO you know which universes does Marvel take place in?


Yes. Do you know how Marvel coined the terms superhero and supervillain


yes they just published a generic comic book with those names


Yes it stands for Detective Comics, it is very redundant


Yes. Do you know where is the biggest library of comic books?


Yes that is at Michigan State University and I believe it is the biggest in the world


Yes I was there, they have an amazing collection


I know that we have sadly destroyed more than 80% of the forests


Yes it is so sad, In the beginning the day was only 5.5 hours long


Yeah pretty short. Do you believe in extraterrestrials?


I do and it is nice that we have an ambassador now in case they show up


Yes I know. Earth will likely be helium free by the end of the century


Yes no more fun balloons and funny voices


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


I suppose.  Are you interested in outerspace?


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


What do you think about Jupiter saving us from asteroids?


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


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


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


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


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


I see.  That's interesting to think about.


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


The soundtrack of a movie is a really big deal!


Yea, on the Jaws soundtrack Spielberg played the clarinet


So his not only the director of the movie but was also one of the musicians? thats awesome


Did you ever listen to the O Brother, Where art thou? soundtrack, it is certified 8 times platinum


No not really Im not familired with that soundtrack I am with the one of the movie Tron Legacy,


Wasn't Daft Punk involved with the Tron Legacy soundtrack?


Yeah they netgotiated the terms of the soundtrack over pancakes, they even wore their robot helmets, hell of a breakfast


Interesting. I never knew Phil Collins worked on the Tarzan soundtrack, wasn't much of a good movie


I heard he recorded the sountack in 5 different languages, talented guy


The batman begins soundtrack was pretty good, I never knew the track titles were names of bat genuses


I loved that soundtrack, really inspiring actually, Batman Begins is one of my favorite movies


Yea the Batman and Marvel movies are really good. It's crazy Sony rejected Marvel's offer to buy all it's characters for $25 million


Sony must be regretting that decision each hero is worh like 20 times that amount know, that was a great bargain


Yea, I bet Sony is kicking itself for only pay 10 million for Spiderman back in 1998


I liked the first two with Tobey McGuire


I liked them as well but I have to say im digging the new version more, Im exited to watch the Spiderman movie after Infinity War


Yea I hope it's good, maybe the hero owned by both Marvel and DC   called Access will make a cameo


There is also a hero called Blue Ear, have you heard of him?


Isn't Blue Ear the hero with hearing aids?


Yeah the same one, Marvel created the character to help a kid that didnt want to wear them.


Hello! Have you been to a library recently?


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


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


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


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


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


cool.  They also have concerts there as well.


Very cool. Cultural experience at a library.


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


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


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


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


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


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


hey there do you have Netflix by chance?


Hello - how are you? I do have Netflix, what about you?


I'm good, and ya I like Netflix I like Stranger things a lot, can't believe they started way back in 1997


ya its crazy that it takes up about 33% of all internet traffic


That is crazy. Did you know Netflix spends 20 times more on postage than bandwidth?


no that is wild, I see why they want to switch to all digital, also crazy that netflix and youtube together make up half of all internet traffic, I watch youtube all the time


That is also crazy. I didn't realize Reed Hastings was inspired to startup Netflix after racking up $40 in late fees on Apollo 13.


haha ya that is a wild thing, good movie though, sad that blockbuster didn't buy them when they had the chance


I agree. Crazy that Netflix is now worth $2 billion.


yup, they were offered to blockbuster for 50 million, thats quite a lot of value appreciation!


That is a very big jump in appreciation. Did you know that people fantasy draft the national spelling bee lol?


oh I did, they also do fantasy congress, people seem to do fantasy everything these days haha


lol that's hilarious. I only do fantasy football. What about you?


ya I only do fantasy football as well, ahve you read any books by Terry Pratchett btw? he writes fantasy novels


I have not read any books by him. Wonder if they are any good?


ya I don't know, I just know he was knighted for "services to literature" so hopefully they are really good


Interesting. Did you know a single fold in the brain makes the difference between reality and fantasy?


I didn't, would you ever check out that fantasy novel from that janitor in chicago, I guess it was like 15k pages haha


haha I think I would have to pass on that. Way too long for me.


yup, it could be amazing but it could also be that long and horrible haha


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


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


Yeah pretty crazy. Do you know who invented it?


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


that makes for great quality and in turn for awesome business


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


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


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


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


Yes,  love netflix.  Watching anything good?


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


i like marvel. i guess spiderman is my favorite.


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


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


Yeah,  really funny and a lot of action.


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


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


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


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


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


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


hey did you know the richest superhero is black panther?


I did not. I found the article on Paul Rand humourous!


don't think Ive seen that article what does it say?


"On Saturday, Ryan tweeted and then deleted this: "A secretary at a public high school in Lancaster, PA, said she was pleasantly surprised her pay went up $1.50 a week ... she said [that] will more than cover her Costco membership for the year." The responses were not kind... Twitter is the best and worst!


lol ya that is not a lot of money, oooof what a disaster haha


I know. Here's a response: If she's 30 and saved that 1.50 until she's 65, thats $2,750. Totally makes up for losing Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security, which is how they are planning to repay the 1.5 Trillion they added to the deficit


haha ya politics is a joke, I try not to read the news because i'ts too depressing, other thing I can't believe is that linkin park's "hybrid theory" is the best selling record of the 21st century, that is also scary to me


Really!? I love that album. Like the one with Jay Z too.


oh really, ya I just don't like lincoln park, thats just me though I'm more into classic rock and 80's music


What is your band? I listen to classic rock a lot at the gym.


ah I mean I like metallica and guns and roses a lot, but ive heard them so many times I've been diving into lesser known 80s bands recently


Do you consider Metallica and G&R classic rock? What 80s bands?


I do, you could say metallica is more metal but they got to be more rock-like in the 90's, I like thompson twins hold me now, I've been listening to that a lot recently


That's interesting... I am 40 and think of Led Zepplin when I think classic rock. Is this an age thing?


ah it might be haha, or maybe i'm just wrong, I do love led zepplin though, pink floyd is also amazing


Pink floyd is my favorite band, or should I say the one I consistently listen to and do not get bored with. I can listen to them all the time whereas other bands I turn off after a while...


oh wow interesting, ya I got into them and I think their animals album is super underrated, like you don't heard songs from that album on the radio at all


No, that's one of their sneaky albums. Dark side of the moon is the commercial hit but the others are just as good.


yup dark side and the wall are the ones that everyone knows, but they're so overplayed that I got into their other stuff which you're right is just as good if not better


It makes me sad that artists like them wouldn't be successful in today's market.


nope people don't like that kind of music unfortunately these days


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


I'm good. Do you remember listening to albums?


Like a music CD? I love them, I especially love Linkin Park


I like Linkin Park okay. It's not my favorite. My spouse likes them and Staind.


I love Linkin Park, and they sold some really profitable albums too!


They must be popular, because I still see them on tour. I can't believe all the "old" bands that are still around and touring.


Unfortunately the singer killed himself a year or two ago, so now it is just Mike Shinoda


I think I remember my spouse saying something about that. I think more needs to be done about suicide awareness.


I agree, it is a shame people still think it is people being dramatic


I don't think it is people being dramatic. Maybe there are a few who like to get attention that way, but I think they still have a mental health problem if they repeatedly say they are going to kill themselves. I know it used to be an expression to say, "I could just die."


Yeah I agree, it is unfortunate, and Linkin Park helped a lot of people through that too, so it is a shame he had bad issues


Yes, I think that and the death of other famous people, like Robin Williams. A friend's husband committed suicide last year. It has been very hard on her family.


Yes, she really struggles coming to terms with the situation. She posts about it a lot on social media. Who can blame her. She probably asks herself why this happened every single day.


It is truly sad. On another note, have you seen Black Panther?


No, I haven't seen that movie. I'm surprised, because my spouse likes to watch the Marvel movies. I think he was turned off by the last Avengers movie, though.


I was as well, it did not impress me at all. Black Panther did very well at the box office, over a billion at least


Wow! I may have to mention it to my spouse and see if he wants to watch it. He will be impressed since I am always wanting to watch "girlie" movies according to him.


Haha, that is the trade off, but Black Panther was very good, the character in the movie is said to be worth 500 billion dollars


That is a big difference from Tony Stark who is only worth $100 billion!


That is for sure, or even bruce wayne, who is at 80 billion


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


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


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


Well apparently it is near Proxima Centauri.


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


Did you know that the planet Venus does not tilt?


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


See you on another planet possibly haha.


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


did you know Van Halen set speakers on fire with his playing! That is so metal


I had never heard that!  There are some crazy rockers out there - Queen's guitarist has a phd in astrophysics


that is cool, I think he also uses coins as guitar picks, he's super talented!


Yeah those guys are nuts.  A member of Pink Floyd uses a houseboat on the Thames as a recording studio


that is cool, do you like PInk Floyd? I like them a lot I still listen to all their music


I do not.  I like jazz more - just like Clint Eastwood


ya I never got into Jazz, what are some albums I should listen to? I do like Clint Eastwood though


I like the blues and ragtime styles best the most - anything from New Orleans is great!


ok I'll check it out, have you heard Pakistan has jazz music?


I did not know that.  Kansas City does too!


ya but does Kansas City have a jazz orchestra at the top of the charts? Because Pakistan apparently does haha


I had never heard of that! But I guess if a programming language can have jazz roots, what doesn't ?


haha that is true, did you know that professional jazz trumpeters grow goatees for better comfort while playing


That makes sense!     I am a fan of sitcoms - do you like 3rd Rock from the sun?


I've never seen it is it any good? I do like Seinfeld a lot


Yes it beat Seinfeld in the Golden Globe competition in 1997


well if it's funny maybe I should check it out, do you like Bill Murray?


Yes!  I love him - we both think Kung Fu hustle was hilarious


I agree! Not everyone likes that movie and it is really wacky but I'm glad there are other fans out there!


Yes there are a lot of different styles of comedy - it has evolved a lot since ancient greece


Yup it's evolved since then and even since MOnty Python which I also like, and is why the programming language is named python


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


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


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


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


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


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


Did you ever watch 3rd rock from the sun?


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


And he set the studio speakers on fire! Oops!


Hey there. Do You like the comedy genre? The origins of comedy are actually found in ancient Greece.


I do, comedy is one of my favorite genres, its so cool and  makes e feel poisitive


Yes me too.I just love laughing and comedy induces that.


Do you have a favorite comedy movie? I liked Evan Almighty a lot


That was a good movie. I liked Kung Fu Hustle and Bill Murray did too apparently.


That was a great movie as well, what about the Empire Strikes Back? the Star Wars movie, did you like that one?


Oh yeah that is a classic and always will be. I like the movie Green Lantern. Jack Black was originally going to star in it.


Well The Empire Strikes back was considered a comedy movie back in 1981, and really? Jack Back is one of my favorites


Yes he is one of mine as well. I want to try to watch third rock from the sun because it won a Golden Globe for best comedy in 1997.


I bet it was a really good show, I havent heard of it before, odd fact but a comedy movie hasnt won a best picture award in over 37 years


I wonder why it's so hard to make good comedy? Comedy Central has canceled over 100 shows since creating it in 1989.


100 shows? woah thats a lot of them,  I bet they let a lot of people down


Yes I know I was mad when they canceled the Chapelle show. It was one of my favorites. Do you like jazz music? It emerged in the 1920's with African American and European American roots.


I used to love that show as well so funny. I do like Jazz music, the genre does have deep roots


Yes indeed it does. Jazz is played everywhere. One Harlem woman has held free jazz concerts at her apartment every Sunday for 20 years.


I bet her neighbors loved her and then some others hated her as well.


Yeah I hopefully shouldn't play too late. Those jazz players who play the trumpet grow goatees to provide extra comfort when playing.


Yeah I heard about those, they look really weird but I guess they have their function.


I didn't realize jazz was so global. Even Pakistan has a jazz orchestra. They seem to be doing pretty well.


Yeah seems like a really talented orchestra, did you ever watch the series Breaking Bad?


Yes I love that series. Heisenberg was the man. Almost as cool as Eddie Van Halen when he set a studio speaker on fire. It was really fun talking with you this afternoon.


I wonder if that's true, its been great chatting with you also have a nice day bye.


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


Today I surely watch this video thank you.


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


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


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


I would think they are running smoothly.


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


yes women have overcome much in the past  hundred years.


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


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


They wont be able to get past the senate


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


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


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


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


It wont get done anytime soon, unfortunately.


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


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


everyone has their hand in the cookie jar


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


But I bet he would be very nice about it!


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


Hmmm, did you participate in the burger king promotion?


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


Yeah, I do.  There's certain aspects of it I can't really explain, but the basic principals I think are sound.


Well apparently we lost our hair as recently as 240,000 years ago.


I started losing my hair about ten years ago... LOL.  Speaking of evolution, did you know we (humans) adapted for persistence hunting?


I did not know that i think it's pretty cool how animals can synthesize there own vitamin C. but we can't. Leaves some things to question.


I'm curious why that is... I may google it later.. I'm told our "modern" ancestors came about starting around 315,000 years ago.  So, we haven't really been around that long, relatively speaking


Yeah and I've heard of homo sapiens but I've never heard the term taxonomically before. Have you?


I'm not sure, I don't think so.  We do have some neat healing abilities though.  They say he can regrow a rib within only 2-3 months of having it surgically shortened.  Say, jumping tracks here, do you follow basketball any?


Not at all it boring to me don't have the patients. How about you?


I'm not the biggest fan of it TBH, but I do find some of the little details about it fascinating.  For instance, I really admire all the charity work LeBron James has done during his career.


When you have it to spare it shouldn't be hard to share but i'm happy that he gives back as well.


Course, I find it simply amazing how much money these guys make in endorsement.  For example, some of them get paid over the money just for wearing certain brands of SHOES.


I know it's the way of the world give it to those who don't need it and take it from those who do...but i digress, lol!


For example Lebron had an offer for $10 million from Reebok he turned down, then a year he got a $90 million offer from Nike.  Again, we're talking shoes here!  Wonder if any famous non-athletes get shoe endorsement offers?  LOL


Right! that is very interesting what you said about the ribs growing back. the brain has the ability to reroute blood vessel in the brain as well. the human body is amazing.


Yeah, it is amazing!  They say the brain is a lot like a computer!  Speaking of, do you know the space shuttles general purpose computer runs on a mere 1MB of ram?  All this time and still so little memory!


Yeah i can't figure out if that's incredibly efficient or stupid, lol. You know if you smoke near apple computers it voids the warranty.


Yeah, I've heard about that.  They consider it a "bio-hazard". Makes sense to me!


Yeah your right actually! The Russian made a computer that operated on water. That sounds fascinating.


I heard someone made a working 16 bit computer using minecraft building blocks.  I'm not familiar enough with the game to know how that would work, but it sounds pretty amazing!


Yeah kind of ingenuous actually. That computer that ran on water was in 1936. Anyways nice chatting with you.


You too parting thought..If you could would you upload your mind to a computer if you could, like the Trashumanists want to?


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


So is it about a Yeti searching for a Yeti?


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


Yeah and there are blood drives for dogs


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


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


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


Yes and the elephants can do the same actually


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


Yes. DId you know Google is a dog company?


Yes they have it in their code of conduct


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


Hi! I love baseball as well as kickball aka soccer-ball as they call it in Canada. Ha! What about you?


I like baseball and all sports in general. And you know what, I used to play kickball as a kid!!


That's awesome! I couldn't believe that the Japanese baseball fans were surprised to learn baseball is America's national pastime. I'm equally surprised to learn they were surprised


That is a suprised cycle! Did you know why baseball managers dress in uniforms during a game?


It's because they actually can play if needed. Can you imagine an old manager out there catching fly balls in the outfield? That'd be hilarious! Ha!


Yes, LOL, and I don't remember that happening! did you know what a very lucky man found in his grandfather's attic?


I heard it was $3 million worth in old 1900s baseball cards that were hidden there since the 1940s. It's like, I need to start checking attics then! Ha!


You never know what you ca find!! Nice hidden inheritance from grandpa!!


No kidding! May even find some old Edgar Allan Poe literature. Speaking of Poe, did you know he only got  $9 for the publication of "The Raven"? That is truly unbelievable!


Oh, so sad, and how famous  is his poetry today! did you know poetry is so old, It can be found in Pyramide texts dating back to the 25th century BCE?


That is amazing! I wasn't aware of that! I also think those poems are amazing that when read normally are depressing, but backwards are inspiring and motivational!


Wow I have to try that! And also reading the javanese alphabet which forms a poem too!


I'd like to read that one. Also, Demetri Martin once wrote a palindrome poem that was 224 words. That is pretty interesting!


Yes it is! Talking about arts, do you like ballet?


I do, actually. In fact, I think it's interesting that pro ballet dancers often go through 4 pairs of pointe shoes weekly. How about you?


I love ballet too! and i was surprised of how many pairs of shoes they use!! they should probably get 5000 year old shoes, because they work better than modern shoes!


No kidding? I should invest in a pair of those old shoes, then. Ha! But if they're that old, we may want to drop a dry tea bag in them to absorb the nasty odor. Ha!


hahaha that is right . Have you heard of what NFL player Steve Smith does after every game?


Yeah, I think it's a great thing he does leaving his cleats on the field to help raise awareness of the homeless who have no shoes. That is very kind of him!


It is! well I think it has been a nice chat! I did learn some cool stuff


Agreed as I have as well! And I'll leave you with one last cool little fact about Stephon Marbury: he promoted a shoe line that retailed at $15 even though he wasn't paid to endorse them. That was pretty cool of him to do. Well it was great chatting with you! Take care, friend!


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


What do you think of the Paleo diet for kids?


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


yeah they starred in the Disney Channel show Hannah Montana


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


Good morning! Do you ever shop on Amazon?


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


Actually I read that they are behind Apple and Microsoft.


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


I have heard of El Chapo but tell me more.


well his wife just through their daughter a huge Barbie themed party as he sits in jail


Was that the one where the daughter had a pink themed party?


Yes it was.  .  They had pink flowers, pink cakes, pink couches, etc


That's really crazy. I saw that they had a carnival ride and a pink themed splashed party room.


switching topics, did you know that in Nevada, the US government owns 86% of the land.


Yeah, I heard something like that. It's crazy that the government could own that much of the land. Reminded me of when wikileaks published the government plan to ruin wikileaks.


Yes, I remember that. I also remember the us passed legislation that would protect government employees from being prosecuted for violating the geneva conventions in 2006


That's right they did do that. That was such a shame like when a man in France managed to impersonate the government and tell the Eiffel Tower, not once but twice.


Did you know the actor Ricky Gervis was a pop singer in the '80s?


No I did not, but I did remember that "We are the Champions" was rated as the catchiest pop song of all time by scientists.


That is cool.  Its also funny that the Indonesia president has 3 pop albums.


Haha, that president is truly living the life. Switching subjects, do you know much about Lebron James?


Yes I know a lot, including many consider him the greatest basketball player of all time.


He does have an extensive amount of awards including four NBA MVPs, three NBA FInals MVPS and two Olympic gold medals.


I heard he has partnered with Warner Bros to do a Space Jam sequel.


Wow, a Space Jam sequel would be great. I hear he even gets paid more than Judge Judy.


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


Yeah, apparently he was a drug king pin.


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


Hi! Don't youjust love the government? LOL


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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