I really like Top Gun, and he was also in Cocktail which was a great movie.  He may be odd, but he is a great actor.  He has also received a Golden Globe for best actor.


He was good in the film Born on the Fourth of July and Rain Man.


I think Born on the Fourth of July is what he won his golden globe for.


Yes he received the Golden Globe for the film.He has won several awards in his career.


That reminds me, he was also in The Last Samurai which is a movie that I really enjoy.  I think I will go watch it again.  Thanks for chatting about Tom Cruise movies with me.  I may even go see what other movies he has been in that I haven't seen yet.


i like all genres but usually drama, thriller and comedy are my faves.


Oh cool! I wish I took Jon Hamm's drama class in high school, I'd be somewhere today!


i wish i had taken drama from a famous teacher too. i might have ended up on the tv or something. doing a movie with TC


I would have rather worked with Hugh Laurie! He made bank!


yes, i bet he got paid more than the rest of the cast combined. but he got more talent than the rest of the cast combined.


He still isn't worth as much as Tom Cruise though! Or even Seinfeld!


nobody is worth seinfeld. the man is so rich he should start his own country. what does he do all day anyway? count his money?


He really is! I bet it's a full time job! Did you know TC built an underground bunker?


yeah, that sounds like scientology. i figure he is anticipating the alien invasion. can he speak alien? does he know the UN ambassador?


He's crazy! He even threatened a guy with the name Tom Kruse!


yes, he is very protective of his identity. i guess he thought that he had to defend his name. he is a street guy that way.


I guess he is! Full of drama though haha. Jim Carrey isn't though and avoids making dramas!


i think that he is wrong on that score. drama can be uplifting and positive. i reckon he could do quite well dramatically.


I think so too, besides the number 23. Have you ever listened to any radio dramas?


i did when i was younger. they can be quite exciting and dramatic. i can see why the kids loved them.


I will have to listen to them since I can find them free online!


You should! Lemont Cranston as The Shadow! Anyway, great chat!


Great chat to you as well. Have a good night!


Yes I do like to travel.  I'm from Michigan, have you ever been to Mackinac Island?


I have not but I learned they have prohibited motorized vehicles for a long time, I wonder how is that?


I have been to the island and it is really small and the roads are narrow.  At least they do not need to pay tolls.  Do you pay tolls where your from?


Some of the highways are toll ways but not that expensive like in Japan


It seems like they would encourage less travel since it costs 300 to cross the country.


Probably, but I think is worth doing it at least once. I am curious also to try a bus the dutch are designing!


I would think the dutch bus would be dangerous to go on.  160mph would be something to experience but not on a bus.


Yes, that is pretty fast! A great place to travel to would be mount everest! And suprisingly somehow there is some cell service up there!


Interesting that they have 3g cell service up there.  I would imagine you will sit and wait for pages to load.  I don't know if the 3 horizontal line menu would not load.  Did you know that this is called the hamburger button?


It must take a very long time to load. I did not know about the hamburger button, that is a tasty button!


I was unaware of this as well.  I use the internet a lot but not enough to cause a real addiction of the brain, which is a real thing.


Yes, just clicking and clicking is definetely not good for us. this addiction is for real and it has been measured in the brain.


Well if the internet ever goes down, you can go to the library of alexandria where there is a copy of the internet.


good to know!  People really click fast when using the internet. almost nobody reads terms and conditions when getting something on the internet


Just like only 7% of people actually read the full terms when buying a product on the internet.


I think we should balance and keep the good habit of really reading and filling our brains with creativity!


Back in the 18th century, reading was considered a moral panic.  Now I try to get my kids to read as much as possible.


that is so funny, reading of novels was dangerous for society back then. I really love reading. For me is the best way of getting real knowledge


Did you know the world record for reading is 4700 words per minute.  You could finish a lot of books reading that fast.


amazing, the talented Anne Jones has that record! Well, it was very nice talking to you. I hope you have a nice day


Not really, I barely follow it. What about you?


I would say yes. Did you follow news about Armenia? They had new prime minister and it was quite interesting process of political fight.


Interesting, no I'm not familiar with it. What were they fighting about?


It's quite small and corrupted country. Sp after some street demonstation of over 100,000 (total population I believe is about 4-5 million), new prime minister came to power. It was illegal way to change head of government, but opposition didn't have a choice to win elections


Interesting, what makes it corrupt? They have a bad legal system there or something?


I'm not sure. My knowledge isn't deep enough. I guess it would be combination of factors, but I don't know much. It's pro-Russian country. I know Georgia - next to Armenia is pro-American and much less corrupted.


Interesting. Do they have a prime minister or a president?


Prime minister I believe. He is elected by parliment. New one is Pashinyan. Quite funny name from my point of view...


Interesting, the whole parlimentary system baffles me. Did you know that the Candian Prime Minister serves at her majesty's pleasure?


I know. It's like tradition, but I honestly don't really understand meaning. You know... I wanted to ask. I've read that 34% of the black male population in Alabama has permanently lost the right to vote. I didn't get idea. What does it mean "permanently lost the right to vote". Why? Any idea?


Interesting, is that true? Or is it a false fact?


I've read it in the article here. So I guess it's true. But difficult to believe such huge number could be true.


Yeah, I'm not sure. Did you know Woodrow Wilson was the only president to have a PhD?


Yes, I know. I think it would be difficult now. People with PhD have different way in this life... what do you think?


yeah, I'm not sure. I think the PhD is valuable, but not much more so than a regular masters.


True. I'm surprised that D. Trump isn't among top three wealthiest Presidents in US history


I am too, but maybe on an inflation adjusted basis those guys were richer. Hard to tell.


Yes, but it also outlines how rich were JFK, Washington and Jefferson lol


Yeah, I'm sure they were well to do. None of them had PhDs!


Maybe it's stupid question. But do you know where US President's Guest house is located? I've read it's larger than the White House


Yeah, I've actually visited both in my life time. Pretty cool stuff. Well nice chatting with you!


Did you know Tom cruise threatened Tom Kruse, the inventor of the Hoveround over the usage of his name?


Interesting, lets talk more about Tom Cruise. He is an actor and a producer who was born in 1962. He started his career at the age of 19.


It's first movie was Endless Love in 1981, but his breakout film was Risky Business in 1983.


When Tom stared in the last samurai he spent two years leaning Japanese and swordplay


Everyone got angry over that movie because a white man was the last samurai, but most people didn't realize it refers to the whole last clan of samurai and not just Tom Cruise's character.


Tom owns a underground bunker to protect himself from aliens which cost him 10 million dollars.


Wow, it must be nice to have that kind of money. If he only had the net worth that Seinfeld has, it's more than Tom Cruise and Tom Hanks combined.


I have heard that Seinfeld has a net worth of around 820,000,000, which is more then Cruise and Hanks combined


Yeah, that's crazy. I wonder how Hugh Laurie stacks up to them. He's the highest paid actor ever for a TV drama. He earns $700,000 per episode of House.


Lets talk about Dramas more. If you ever want to listen to classic radio dramas for free their is a website that offers that.


I want to fight that website, I think it would be interesting to listen to them.


Because dramas do not project positivity Jim Carrey will not make them anymore.


I'm happy of that choice, I like Jim Carrey better in comedies than his dramas. It just fits him better.


Because all the pretty girls were in drama class, Michael Caine joined also.


I wonder if that was why Jon Hamm joined and later taught at his old high school, he actually had Ellie Kemper in his class. Who would have thought Don Draper and Erin Hannon in the same class?


Lets talk about cars next. The model T was one of the first mass produced cars and it was made by ford.


Did you know that McDonald's added drive-thrus in 1975 to accommodate soldiers who were not allowed to get out of their cars while wearing fatigues.


The US replaced animal-drawn carriages with cars really fast compared to other parts of the world like Western Europe.


Yeah they did. Did you know that it's legal to equip your car with flame-throwers in South Africa? I wonder when Elon Musk will add that to a Tesla?


interesting. I have heard that they allow it to try to prevent carjackings, I wonder if it helps.


It would be great for melting ice and snow.


I would agree, We call the back of cars trunks because they used to really have wooden trunks on the back. Nice talking to you today.


How's it going, did you know in most systems a Prime Minister is the presiding member and chairman of the cabinet?


I didn't know that. I didn't know either that Armenias Parliament recently rejected the new prime minister of their country, that seems really scary


Yea, the demonstrations of 100,000 people against Nikol Pashinyan is really scary


Yep I agree. I'm just glad that we don't live in that country haha. And yes the vote in Parliament was 55 to 45


Yea, Pashinyan is calling for peaceful protests but I don't see it not turning violent


Yep I agree with you. What do you think about prime minister's by the way? Apparently the Prime Minister of Australia isn't even in their Constitution


I thinks it's cool that the UK's Prime Minister's cat has the offical title of Chief Mouser to the Cabinet Office


Haha I love the name LOL what do you think about Helena Bonham Carter? She was an actress in the Harry Potter movies and she's actually related to the prime minister of the United Kingdom during World War 1


That's pretty cool, so is receiving a silver cup from Japan's Prime Minister when turning 100


Yep I want to get one of those silver cups haha. In the United States they would ever have to make too many of those though unfortunately I think we're really fat here


Lol, probably not. Did you know a radio station pranked called Queen Elizabeth II?


I heard about that, I think they did it back in 1995 correct? They were pretending to be the prime minister of Canada


Yea, I wonder if anyone pranked called the Indonesian president who released 3 pop albums


That's a good question LOL maybe they could ask him to perform one of his famous three pop albums for them over the telephone LOL


I wonder if the first President of Zimbabwe President Banana was a singer too


Yep that's a good question haha. Also, what do you think about the original rule for vice president swear the runner-up in the presidential election would become the vice president instead of just outright losing


I can see the logic, it be entertaining if the runner up of the presidential election became vice president today


Yes Hillary Clinton as the vice president would be entertainment but also it would be very crazy because nothing would ever get done LOL


They could release a pop album, maybe with the President of Indonesia


Yes they should do it in the guest house to LOL apparently the guest house is bigger than the actual White House itself for some reason


Well I got to go, nice chatting with you


Hello there, are you a fan of Tom Cruise, or at least his films?


I've seen many of his films! He's a real Hollywood success.. Tom Cruise threatened Tom Kruse, the inventor of the Hoveround, Seems shallow.


Yeah doesn't that seem pretty silly, he should have helped endorse it as a joke and it would have helped a smaller business person.


I didn't know that Jerry Seinfeld was so rich! He has a net worth roughly $820,000,000.more than Tom Hanks and Tom Cruise combined!


Wow, that is a crazy amount, I wonder what he did to earn so much more than those guys.


The TV show has residuals. He was producer, creator, and actor, and got money for all three. In 2007 Tom Cruise spent $10 million on an underground bunker to protect himself from aliens. What?


Yeah I guess when you add it up for both people and subtract what they spend as well, like money for a bunker then you get what you get.


$10 mill these days just doesn't get an anti-alien bunker like it used to. The guy is dedicated though. He trained for two years to learn Japanese and swordplay for a film.


Yeah he does go all out for his movies that is for sure.  What is your favorite Tom Cruise movie of all time?


I'm not sure. I liked Top Gun because it captured a spirit of the times. It was a real Hollywod film.


Yeah Top Gun is a classic.  I like Risky Business and The Color of Money, but there are many more.


Color was great! So was Born on the Fourth of July. He has a good sense of story. Picks interesting scripts, and gets good co-stars.


Yeah that was also really good, and really sad.  I am trying to think what his weirdest role was?


He had some movie where he was a fat bald guy with a bad combover. Crazy dictator type. Can't remember the name, but it was a comedy.


Yeah now that you mention it, that rings a bell but same here I can't think of the title.  Do you know which movie he starred in with Dustin Hoffman?


Rain Man? Yeah, perfect casting for that. He was the hard-driving, high-pressure salesman, self-absorbed, couldn't relate to his brother with autism.


Yeah good call!  I thought that movie was awesome.  They both were really good, I liked the casino scene the best when he was kicking butt.


We all wish we had a friend like that, able to count six decks at the Black Jack table.


Right, just get him a tv and some underwear from Kmart and then bring him in and make $30,000 quick.


No more college loans! Well, I enjoyed chatting with you about Tom Cruise. Also, check out the film he did with Jamie Foxx.


Sounds good I will.  It was nice talking with you as well, I hope you enjoy the rest of the night.


Hi there! Do you have any interest in rap/hip hop history? I just read that Tupac's music is in the library of congress due to is cultural significance


Hello! Sorry I took so long, I was reading. I have no interest in rap history but I suppose we'll talk about it anyway!


No problem! If there's anything else you liked more thats fine too!


The thing I found interesting is how the ideologies of the two major political parties has flip-flopped since the 1800s when democrats were conservative and republicans liberal


I thought that was kind of crazy too! It sounds like they were pretty dominate too.


I think Lincoln was probably the most well known republican president who was liberal


I agree- did you read about Roosevelt forming his own party after being rejected by the GOP? It sounds like that lead to a major turning point as far as the Republican party becoming more conservative


Yeah I hadn't thought about Roosevelt's actions leading to an ideological shift until now. I also used to think that "Bull Moose Party" was the real name of the party he created but apparently the real name was the Progressive Party


I never knew that either! I always remember hearing the name "Bull Moose" from school history classes. I also noticed that every president since 1853 has been either a Republican or Democrat- I knew Independents weren't popular...but not that unpopular haha


I don't think the other non-Republican or Democrat presidents were independents, I believe the major parties before then were Whigs and Tories. Nowadays it would probably be for an independent to be elected president without the support of a major party even if they were an excellent candidate


Didn't know that either! I agree, it would be really difficult. Did you read that "red" and "blue" were only consistently used for Republicans and Democrats starting in 2000? That seems so recent!


I actually was on a political website recently where they used red for Democrats and blue for Republicans; it was very confusing


Really? I would be really confused. Another fact I liked- every US president with a  beard has been a Republican. These bullet points are great to remember for trivia!


Apparently there were soldiers in World War 2 who made simple radios using a razorblade and pencil; I had no idea making a radio could be that simple!


I read that too! I don't know anything about radio technology, but that sounds pretty amazing! I wonder what they were capable of doing though as far as sending and/or receiving. Did you know that you can hear radio storms on Jupiter on AM radio? I wonder what it sounds like...


I hear that Jupiterian (Jovian?) music is really good too


Hahah must be why AM radio is so popular ;)


Apparently there is a government mandate in Canada that at least 40% of the music played on the radio be Canadian. I suppose that's due to national pride but it seems silly


That's strange. I wonder how that works if a particular genre doesn't have enough Canadian artists to fulfill that 40%...a lot of repeat songs I guess?


I imagine that there aren't enough Canadian rappers, the only one I can think of is Aubrey "Drake" Graham, which i suppose is a perfect segue back to the rap history subject


Hah there you go! I didn't know that was his full name though. I'm interested to hear a "compliment battle" in action. I read that is a new type of freestyle invented by Korean rappers


I had never heard of a compliment battle before.


Haha it sounds like it could be entertaining for a minute. I'll have to look one up after this! It looks like we've made it through all of our turns though. Good talking with you!


Hey yes I definitely enjoy rap music a it incorporates so many things and can be performed in a variety of ways.


Did you know that Tupac Shakur's music is considered to have cultural significance and is in the library of congress?


I would agree with that for sure. He was great. He resused elements of past traditions while expanding them at the same time.


He did. Do you know what career Eminem wanted to pursue before his rap career?


Oddly enough he wanted to be a comic book artist lol. Glad he chose rap instead!


Me too. Apparently he was a big fan of Spiderman.


Interesting. I bet rapper Busta Rhymes was a fan of the Rugrats because he voiced the reptile wagon in the 1998 Rugrats movie.


Really?! I should have noticed that. He has a very distinctive voice.


Yes he definitely does. In Korea the rappers there invented a new type of freestyle called complement battle. I'd like to hear that.


That's in such stark contrast to our rap battles which are basically slam battles. I'd be interesting in hearing that because it sounds so strange to me.


Yeah I don't know if I would like that. I wonder if they played on the radio? If you like radio dramas there's a website where you can listen to thousands of episodes for free.


I know those were hugely popular before TV. I wonder of they hold up now?


Yeah probably a bit boring with all we're used to now. Another boring show would have been that Latin news broadcast in Finland! I wouldn't understand a thing!


Considering that that is a dead language I wonder who the audience for that is?


Yeah not sure. Perhaps there's a big Latin population in Finland. Well if you live in Canada 40% of the music played on the radio has to be Canadian.


That's strange. Is that just a guideline that is followed or is it a law?


I actually believe it's Canadian law. I wonder when that first came into existence?


I do not know. It seems strange that they needed to make that a law. Did you know that on an AM radio you can hear Jupiter's radio storm because they are so strong?


Well that is so cool. I wonder if it is very easy to here? Maybe I've already heard it without even knowing. It probably interferes with the electromagnetic waves of the radio.


That is possible. Did you know that you can make a radio with very little?


How do you make a radio? I used to listen to fox news on the radio. They are all about the GOP or in other words, the grand old party! It was very nice speaking with you today, I hope you have a good one!


WWII soldiers could make them with a razorblade and pencil. It was nice chatting with you as well.


hello!so do you like rap music? Or Cardi B?


I do like rap music, I heard Cardi B is pregnant,


Yes, she announced it on SNL  in April. She was on a radio show and said she wasn't sure she wanted the baby....


Im sure that created a lot of controversy, there were many critics she was also on the Breakfast Club radio show


It has caused controversy because she didn't debate the pro life stance really.


Oh so thats why, she also said ''Why do I got to chose a carrer over a baby'' meaning she could have both and I agree with her


Definitely you can! But when she was asked initially they asked are you ready for a baby...she said kinda..sorta. But she's making the right choice! She has a lot of political views so that answer started stirred feelings...


I think thats a hard question, most people arent ready for a baby and I think her baby wasnt planed, she is 25 years old and with a carreer in front of her so its a tough question to answer


Yes, it is. I guess she was unsure how to answer since she has many conservative and liberal fans. I think it must be tough to try and keep your personal life...personal.


Its hard to keep your personal live personal when you are a celebrity she must have a lot of fans and thats always hard to manage


Exactly. In her music she advocates for women being able to have their own choice. She doesn't want to come outright and say either way.


I think her message is good, children dont kill dreams, a dream will only die if you let it, with hard work you can do just about everything.


Very true. So you said you like Rap, do you have a favorite artist? I listen to rap sometimes on the radio.


My favorite rapper is Tupac and also Snoop Dog, do you have a favorite one?


I would have to say Tupac as well. He was and is amazing. His music is actually saved in a library of congress!


He is amazing, too bad how he died at a young age, another great rapper is Eminem


Very sad! And yes I love Eminem, I like a few of his songs. He doesn't have much on the radio anymore, but I am sure he's working on something. He wrote some great music for the movie Southpaw.


He wanted to be a comic book artists, Eminem, good thing he decided to become a rapper


Exactly, now he can do anything he wants. One time a judge handed down her ruling to Eminem in the form of a Rap song....that had to be funny.


I agree but also really unprofessiional lol, she is/was a judge afterall


Right! I agree. Speaking of funny did you know the U.S presidents through history who had a beard were Republican?? That's odd. Maybe the Republicans and Democrats can get together and do a new Rap freestyle called a compliment battle and play it on the radio, that would be interesting! I hope you have a great day! Nice chatting! Bye


Why do I need to know about Cardi B being pregnant?


lol guess what i was laughing out loud listening to my 7 year old daughter telling her friend Crdi B sings so fast so she can fish the song faster lol its all show biz


Your daughter is funny and smart.  Is Cardi B pro choice or pro life?  It is somehow being debated by the media.


I have no idea what she is for and frankly i think it is all show business for radio and tv, its marketing, they turn forums like radio into bad things and bad influence, i like it when canada says 40% of music on its radios has to be canadian


Now, conservative media says that Cardi B is pro life.  I am personally pro life, but Cardi B's opinion does not matter.


same here, a lot of people care about such things and what celebrities say, for example Amanda Prestigiacomo wrote in the conservative daily wire about Cardi B  giving a pro life speech so people definitely care


Do you live in Canada?  Cardi B is big with younger people here in the US.


Lol No I actually live in the US and I know how popular she is even though i Don't care about her lol, at least i and my daughter know her lol. Talking about America, do you believe having a Beard is an amaerican thing for men who believe in America first?


I don't know.  I have no opinion. About Cardi B, I know who she is but I have never heard any of her songs.


lol almost the same here, well with the beard thingie, you know whats weird, every US president with a beard has been a republican, so since Its more of a republican thing to say America First i though Having a beard would not only be Republican but also american lol


I know - I researched it because you asked me about it.


During my research, I also found out that the use of red and blue for the two political parties started in 2000.  I wonder how it got started.


can you imagine you would think they were used more before 2000, I dont like the fights between the republican and democrats though, can you believe in 1957 president harry truman visited disneyland and refused to be photographed on the ride so he wouldnt be associated with republicans?


That was silly.  Politicians can be silly and childish sometimes.  I


yeah thats right but you know when it hurtsm is when they start going politically right and they start putting politics in everything thats when it gets out of hand


I agree with you.  Our court system (the supreme court) is going to be more conservative.  I do not know if it is good or bad.  I am an independent.


I am in the Middle I believe both republicans and democrats are all having something important to offer and if they work together the system will be even more powerful, The supreme court though is definately more conservative now especially with judge Kavanaugh who has just joined in


Yes.  I want the politicians to stop fighting.  They will fight more in 2019 since the senate is republican while the house is democrat.  Clarification of my previous statement:  "the majority".


Yeah and its basically those two perties since they are the ones in power, there hasn't been a us president who wasnt a republican or democrat since 1853, can you imagine? I wonder when an independent person will ever be president.


There's so much that happens in politics and the news that I can't keep up. Have you heard any of the recent details about the Mueller investigation?


no not really, is there a recent development?


I guess they're recommending no prison time for Michael Flynn since he's been cooperative


oh interesting, I do know about presidents though, I guess the only President to ever have a PHD has been  Woodrow Wilson!


He seems like the kind of guy who would be very smart. Still, he wasn't as wealthy as JFK, Jefferson, or Washington who were the three wealthiest Presidents


right thats what I've heard, and ya even fdr spoke a foreign language and he was the last president to do so


That's pretty crazy considering how many schools require taking basic foreign language. I wonder what languages the first president of Zimbabwe spoke considering his nickname was President banana


haha that is a great question! and does he have a VP plantain? I guess a total of 5 presidents have lost the popular vote and still won the election


I can remember at least two of those! If they had lost back before 1805, they would have been VP instead


that is crazy can you imagine a President trump and VP clinton, think of the chaos!


Nothing would get accomplished, that's for sure. Meanwhile, the president of Indonesia is in office and recording pop albums. He's released at least three


haha that is cool, do you watch fox news at all? I guess the median viewer age of fox news is 68 years old


I don't, but that's a high median age. Especially since it's watched more than both MSNBC and CNN combined


ya that is crazy, I guess the other comparison is fox spends 55% of time on opinion news vs 85% for msnbc


Maybe that's why it's watched more. Richard Nixon helped create the network along with Richard Ailes who was a Republican media strategist


huh didn't know that, did you see that fox tried to make their own version of the daily show? It didn't do well


I guess there's a lot of things they've tried or considered trying. Someone who works there must love the Simpsons because they talked about possibly creating a cable channel that would only air episodes of that show


haha that would be wild, did you know that hillary clinton used to be a republican?


Wasn't she president of one of their clubs in college? I wonder when she changed her party


ya its a good question, and weirdly rupert murdoch supported both obama and hillary during their campaign elections


He must really like the Democrats. She would adopt a southern drawl just for her campaigns in the southern states. Talk about adaptable


Good afternoon!! How often do you watch Netflix?


I watch it so much! Every night before bedtime,how about you?


I am about the same! Do you know that from 9 in the evening until midnight Netflix accounts for 33% of all bandwidth in North America?


As am I, LOL!! Funny to think the Blockbuster declined many offers to buy Netflix and now Netflix is worth over $2billion.


They could have bought it for 50 million dollars. The guy started netflix because of blockbuster making him a little mad over late fees, and now he took them down!


Yes, that is the case indeed. $40 worth of late charges now worth so much. Netflix as well as youtube make up half of peak internet traffic.


That is crazy. Also, it is interesting that Netflix pays more in postage than they due for bandwidth. I wonder how many people still get dvds delivered


Well as of October of last year, just in the United States subscribers totaled 58.46 million as well as 137 million world wide so I would say a pretty good amount still get DVD's sent to them.


That is a good point, do you watch any Drama shows on Netflix?


I have watched a few here and there. My favorite that I watched a full season in one day is a show called Frankie & Grace.


I started watching that, it is funny! Are you a hugh laurie fan at all?


I am one of the highest paid actors for tv drama earning $700,000 per episode. I can't fathom earning that much per show.


I wouldn't need to work any other job ever again after this successful show. It was a great show for sure!


I totally agree!! Are you a fan of dancing?


Only when I have had a few drinks in me, lol. I then become Michael Jackson! You?


I just laughed out loud! I too require some liquid motivation to really bust a move. Did you know babies dance spontaneously when they hear music? They even smile more when they hit the beat. I wonder how they know they hit the beat?


I have a baby and I love to see her dance, it is so natural, she is 9 months old!


I have a grandson that just turned a year old on the 24th and loves music!


She is big into Elmo, I will tell her Tupac was a great ballet dancer before she finds out who he is. He did ballet in high school.


I was aware of that as I love the Nutcracker and go ever year to see it during the holidays.


Hello Lets talk about the President. The president of Indonesia has released 3 pop albums all while in office.


That's pretty crazy, could you imagine if our President did that?


I cant. One of the wealthiest presidents of all time was Washington


I wonder if that is still true, I know JFK, and Jefferson weren't far behind him. I wonder where Trump is on that list?


Trump is the wealthiest president we have ever had. He holds the top spot now.


That's interesting, did you know the only U.S. President to have a PHD is Woodrow Wilson?


I did not. They use to make the runner up of the election vice president, that stop as of 1805


Could you imagine if that was still in effect today?


I could not. Lets talk about fox news next. There was a time when they thought of creating a channel that would only play the Simpsons.


I can stand behind that. I'm a big Simpsons fan.


There are more people who watch Fox compared to cnn and msnbc combined.


It's a less opinionated news network isn't it? I've heard their percentage of airtime dedicated to opinion is 55% and MSNBC is 85%.


interesting. Richard Nixon was one of the original creators of FOX


That's interesting, in 2015 the median age for Fox News was 68 years old.


The new corporation that owns FOX also own the gaming website IGN


I didn't know that. I heard that they tried to sue The Simpsons in order to stop them from parodying its famously ant-democratic party agenda.


interesting, let talk about Hillary Clinton next. She won a grammy for her audio recording of her book it takes a village


Did you know that she used to be a Republican?


I did not. She would adopt a southern drawl when she was campaigning in the southern states.


She rejected Bill's marriage proposals for two years before finally agreeing to marry him.


when she was in college she was the president of young republicans. It was nice chatting with you.


Hello. I do watch Netflix. What about you?


I binge watch it all the time in the winter months.  From 9 PM to 12 PM it accounts for 33 percent of all bandwidth in North America!


That's pretty amazing they account for that much bandwidth in North America!


I know right?  Combined with Youtube they both make up half of the peak internet traffic in North America too.  Crazy numbers.


That crazy. I saw that Netflix spends 20 times more on postage than they do on bandwidth.


I'm surprised that people still get the dvd service through the mail.  I don't think I know anyone that does that anymore.


I don't know of anyone that does that either. Netflix is worth $2 billion right now.


Wow.  I can't believe Blockbuster declined several times to buy Netflix for $50 million.  Big mistake on their part.


That's a huge loss for Blockbuster. Netflix was started by Reed Hastings all because he had a $40 late fee on a copy of Apollo 13.


They must have really mad him mad!  lol  Switching gears..did you ever watch the drama House by any chance?


I used to watch it.  Huge Laurie who played house got paid $700,000 per episode which made him the highest paid actor.  I couldn't even imagine making that much money.


That's amazing how much he makes! I can't imagine.


Crazy.  Michael Caine became an actor because all the prettiest girls in his school were in drama class.


I suppose that is one reason to choose to join a class.


lol  Jon Hamm taught drama at his old high school.  He must have got famous after that?


I bet he did. Jim Carrey doesn't make dramas anymore because of his belief system.


Ok.  It was nice chatting with you.  I have to get going.  Have a good day!


I am! I'm one of Netflix's 137 million total subscribers worldwide. Are you a Netflix subscriber?


Me too! I'm a tiny portion of that number as well! It's amazing how far we've come from traditional media entertainment, so much so that Netflix accounts for one third of all bandwidth in North America!


Yes, that's an astonishing fact! I also have Amazon Prime Video and I think their selection of documentaries is far bigger than Netflix, personally. I'd like to see Netflix ad more documentaries about science!


Oh really? I actually like documentaries but have found Prime Video to be very lackluster. Is there a particular one you like?


Oh yes! I love any health, food or environment related documentaries. On Netflix I like "What the Health?"


Oh! I watched that before I also really enjoy health documentaries and also food ones too though I haven't tried watching any on YouTube even though they take up half of peak internet traffic.


Oh haha, pretty much all I do is watch documentaries on Youtube! It's so hard for me to believe that China, Syria, North Korea and Crimea don't have available Netflix! Maybe if they had Netflix, those places could become better as a whole.


They really would become a better place but one thing's for sure, China bans a lot of things and then creates a replica of the same exact service it seems, unlike how Netflix got it start because Reed Hastings racked up $40 in late fees for returning a VHS tape late. I also was annoyed with those lucrative fees Blockbuster used to charge.


Oh yeah we have come a long way and for the better! I can actually watch 5 documentaries at the same time, if I wanted! Just having youtube, netflix, etc. and all my devices. I am able to become so much better of a person every day! I had no idea that Netflix was founded in California. What is it with California and the internet!


I'm guilty of multitasking with multiple devices as well! California has government and regulations that actually support them so probably easier for them to do stuff there. I also enjoy drama and have started binge watching House, the main actor earned $700K per episode, I wonder how much doctors make in real life.


Honestly, in my opinion the vast majority of doctors make too much money. At least in my experience. Oh I love binge watching!!! I can't believe Netflix has been around since 1997! I could have learned so much more had I only been aware of the service sooner!


I wish I was aware of them back then as well, probably would've been way better off had I invested in them too! It's no wonder I don't see Jim Carrey in drama films because he refuses to be in movies that doesn't project positivity citing its against his belief system. I don't think I'd take him seriously if he starred in a drama.


Interesting! I adore Jim Carrey! And it would be very awkward for him to not be that funny guy that I love. I also wish I'd invested, I bet Blockbuster regrets not buying Netflix the two times they had a chance. What a huge loss!


Yes, do you think that Blockbuster would still be around as the Blockbuster we once knew had they invested in Netflix back then? I think they could probably be like a venture capitalist company with those kind of returns!


At the same time, they might have done something to change the way Netflix has blossomed which for me would be a big issue. So, I'm glad Blockbuster missed out on Netflix. I just found out that Michael Jackson had a patent on a device that he used to do his famous "lean!, dance move." Crazy! I thought he was just really gifted! lol


I sure love my Netflix too, especially on a rainy and lazy day and we wouldn't have the phrase "Netflix and Chill". He used a device? That's surprising, wonder who spilled the beans on that! My baby nephew really does dance spontaneously when he hears music but don't see him smile with it, I smile at his funny dance moves though.


Interesting! Maybe he'll start to smile at some point. What a fun experiment! I guess that means humans and music have some kind of very deep connection that would be worth continued exploration. Who knows what we might discover! Music and dance of course go hand in hand. Recently I learned that ballet dancers can go through up to 4 pairs of ballet shoes a week! Their feet must be killing them!


Exactly! Their toes must be in such poor condition! Does that mean that friends of ballet dancers wouldn't have to stress out over gift giving since they can just help the ballet dancers replenish their shoes! Tupac was also a ballet dancer in high school, I wonder whether or not he wanted people to know that fact about him.


Hm! I'd assume that he wasn't telling anyone about his ballet days, remembering back to how he was before he died. He seemed like such a "tough guy". Hey what do I know! It's been great chatting with you!


Yeah, he sure didn't rap about it in his music that he was a ballet dancer. Have a good day!


Hi, how are you doing tonight? Are you into Netflix?


Hey there I do watch Netflix from time to time. Have you ever seen the show bandersnatch? That's what I watched most recently


Bandersnatch. That sounds like a horror film. Is it?


Not really. It's more like a choose-your-own-adventure kind of thing. It's based on a book actually. What do you like about Netflix by the way?


I think the company has done quite well. They started just mailing out discs. Now they make content. Quite a change.


Yeah I remember that. I think that some people still do that too. Apparently it cost 20 times more in postage then just to stream the same movie


I figure those discs are going to people that have low bandwidth. No way to stream They gotta get it in the mail. They'll become online users in the future.


Yep that's true. Did you hear the story about how Netflix was started by the way?


Was it something about a late fee? I think the guy was angry or something.


Yeah he was really angry. He got a $40 late fee for renting Apollo 13 LOL that would definitely make me mad even though that's a good movie


$40? That's insane. He could have bought the film for that. Anyway, the rest is history. No late fees with Netflix.


Nope no late fees at all. And that's why I like it. What kind of dramatic movies do you like? Do you ever watch dramatic movie Netflix?


I don't watch Netflix now. I bet they have a ton of great dramas though. Is House on there?


Not sure actually. But I do know that it's a great show, have you ever seen it? Hugh Laurie does a great job


The man is a master at drama. Worth every penny of his salary.


Yep I agree with you on that. What about Jim Carrey? Did you like him and dramas back in the day? I never really did, I always saw him as a comedy guy myself


He is great at comedy, but has done good dramas too. I prefer his comedy work, actually.


Yep I agree with that. Do you like the office by the way? And you also like the show Mad Men? The main guy from Mad Men used to be a Drama teacher and Coached erin from the office in his class LOL


Oh, wow. I bet he was a great teacher. Probably helped her career quite a bit.


Oh yeah I could see that. What do you think about Michael Caine by the way? he only started acting to chase girls LOL


That's as good a reason as any. Well, thanks for the chat! Have a good evening!


Love you too. And make sure to try to dance, I'm sure that if you started ballet you would definitely go through less than four pairs of shoes in a week LOL


I know a lot of people are afraid of snakes but I like them. How about you?


Maybe you should live in New Zealand. Did you know they have no snakes?


That would be perfect, I hear that Australia has more venomous snakes than non venomous ones.


That is terrifying. Did you also know that there is a genus of snakes that can launch themselves at their prey?


Too scary, I'd hate to run up with one of them.  Don't get me wrong, I'm sure snakes have a purpose.


Well I certainly don't want them to launch at me. That would be unnerving. As someone who is afraid of snakes, did you know that people and monkeys have that feat hard-wired into their brains?


I totally agree with that.  I read somewhere that a man has been bitten so many times that his blood is able to be used as an antivenom.


Wow! That's valuable blood he has now. Were you also aware that crocodiles are more closely related to birds than snakes and lizards? That's very surprising.


That is interesting.  Did you know that when a snake is born with 2 heads, the heads fight each other food?


What?! That's crazy. I did not know that. Have you heard of legless lizards?


Yes and to me they are basically a SNAKE! lol


Yes I would think that too but no they are lizards not snakes. Do you follow politics are political trivia at all?


Yeah, a little politics.  Mainly, to see who is bashing Trump today.


Did you know that the senate used the same gavel for 165 years? That was one durable gavel.


Yes, it was a durable one.  Do you know which senator holds the record for longest filibuster?


Strom Thurmond, speaking for 24 hours and 18 minutes.  I believe he could out talk my ex wife and that's hard to do!


Wow! That is impressive. Not a fan of his but that is a crazy long time to not even use the restroom.


I'm doing okay. I know a lot of people are afraid of snakes but I like them. Do you find snakes interesting?


I do not like them. I am one that fears them. Do you like them?


I do. Did you know that there are no snakes in New Zealand?


Maybe I should move there! Crocs are more related to birds? Huh...


I did not know that. I know that they are both extremely old species. So maybe that makes sense.


What kind of monster creates flying snakes? Not only is it a snake but then it flies? Crazy!


I knew that some snakes could kind of launch themselves. It's a predatory skill. I would imagine that it gives them a huge advantage.


Monkeys are also afraid of snakes. I guess it is hard-sired in our brains.


That is a very smart intuition for them to have. Were you aware that there are legless lizards?


Shockingly no. They are not in the snake family but rather just legless lizards.


Wow. They also have only one functional lung. That seems weird.


I was not aware of that either. Off topic but do you follow politics or our senate at all?


I do. Did you know that the senate used the same gavel for 165 years?!


And then Nixon broke it! First watergate and then gavels. This man is a monster!


Ha ha, yeah he certainly had a run. I am very angered that women were not allowed to wear pants on the senate floor until 1993 and had to protest to do so. 1993! That's insane.


The sexism and racism of white men in the country is really staggering. Wear what ever you want...


It is and it's crazy. Did you know that there is a candy desk in the senate?


Good morning. Do you follow politics? It is difficult to keep up with Trumps cabinet as they keep resigning.


Hello there. Yes it is hard to keep track. It has been interesting learning about the new acting attorney general.


Please tell me more. I have not read up much on him!  Is it Whitaker now?


Whitaker was picked because he has experience advising con artist. Apparently he was involved with in Miami based firm that federal regulators shut down last year as an alleged scam. This is clearly somebody else's opinion though.


omg. are those really credentials for the US attorney general? I am concerned!


Yes me too. But I have faith in the United States Senate it is widely considered a more deliberative and more prestigious body than the house of representatives.


So true. They have 6 years to make a difference in Washington. I believe that congressmen are constantly campaigning.


Yes it seems like they always are. And actually the presiding officer of the senate is the vice President of the United States. So another words Mike Pence.


Did you know that there is a tradition since 1968 that there is desk for members filled with candy bars?


No I did not know that but I would deathly want to become friends with that person. I love candy bars. The U.S. Senate use the same gavel for 165 years until Richard Nixon cracked it. I bet he felt bad.


Ha! I have never heard that. I also did not know that women senators could not wear pants until 1993! My company is an insurance company and they just began letting us wear pants last year. What an archaic dress code!


Wow that seems ridiculous. I wonder why that law is a thing. The president should have change that long ago. The top three wealthiest president in American history where JFK, Washington, and Jefferson.


I am sure that is adjusted for inflation. And I am sure Trump will try to claim a spot also!


Good point. I bet Trump will be number one on that list. I think it's funny that the first president of Zimbabwe was called President Banana.


That is funny. The president of Indonesia release 3 pop albums while in office. So funny!


Yes that is a very funny fact, I wonder if they were good? Until 1805 in the USA the runner up in a presidential election automatically became the vice president.


That would not work at all in today's political environment. I think it is interesting that the president's guest house is larger than the White house. I would love to check it out.


Yeah could you imagine if it was trump and Clinton? I would love to check that out too. Are there any snakes in Washington DC? There are no snakes in New Zealand.


Interesting! I do not like snakes at all. I did read that there are legless lizards but they are not snakes.


Interesting. There is even a type of flying snake they can launch themselves and prey. Sounds like my worst nightmare.


yikes! That would be awful. I wonder where they live? Humans and monkeys are hard wired to be afraid of snakes. I believe that fact!


Yes I definitely believe that too they invoke so much danger. Oddly enough crocodiles are more closely related to birds then they are to snakes and lizards.


Nope not one bit. I am glad he isn't one of the 3 wealthiest presidents. he would brag about that too!


Yeah but if you asked him a bet he would say he's up there with JFK who i can believe is one of them.


for sure, Trump needs to be called something else. The zimbabwe president is called president banana!


Wow is that he's real name do you know or is he being made fun of?


I wonder if any president ever recorded music before


Well apparently the president of Indonesia has released 3 pop albums. He must be really good.


I wonder how good they were, lol! Do you like snakes?


Not particularly and if so from a distance. You?


Same, they are quite fascinating. New Zealand doesn't have them if you are scared


I'll have to visit some day. are there really snakes that can fly, have you heard of them?


I have not, if so I am moving to New Zealand!


Apparently fear of snakes is hardwired in our brains as well as monkeys. Not touching that any more. lol!


I would hold a monkey but not a snake for sure. Crocodiles are the same for me even though they are closer to birds than anything else


I never seen a bird with teeth like that!! Why would they call a lizard with no legs a lizard. Sounds like a snake to me.


You too! shame about the legless lizards i mean snakes i think, lol!


Hi, how are you doing? Do you use Facebook?


Hi, I do use facebook. It's crazy to me that it's been around since 2004. It seems like much longer for some reason.


I guess at the start they worked hard to get people at just a few colleges.


I heard about that.  I never realized that colleges had social sites between each other.


The internet predated FB by decades, but the connections were basically text. Not cool enough for regular people. Can you believe Myspace?


Didn't myspace turn down a chance to buy facebook some years back?


I guess they thought they were better than FB, or that they could beat them at that game.


You're probably right.  Have you heard about the like button being illegal in part of germany?


I wonder if they would accept a HATE button.


It is odd to ban a like button.  I could see banning the love button if you just had to ban one but the like button?


I guess there must have been an issue. Some social problem or addiction. FB can create problems for people.


It really can.  Unless you own it, that is. It's valued at $104 billion.  I imagine Mark Zuckerberg has no problems at all.


He seems to stay busy. Probably FB could acquire a bunch of companies.  He could help Iceland rewrite their constitution.


I like how other companies use facebook.  Take burger king for example. They used it for publicity by having people unfriend people to get a free whopper.


I wonder what BK hoped to achieve by that. It seems odd to promote unfriending for food.


I think they know so many people are on facebook and who knows, maybe facebook made a profit along  with them.


It's hard to say. I guess BK and FB could work together. I would probably friend people just to unfriend them.


Yeah, I've seen some people with thousands of friends, most of which are complete strangers to them so those could be unfriended.  Facebook makes money from advertisements so the more BK advertised their promotion the more facebook made.


And I guess it got people to try BK. Maybe new customers? Young people with 1000s of "friends?"


Exactly.  What do you think about it being all in blue, the facebook screen I mean?


I understand that a colorblind person would do that, but how does it appear to average users? Maybe they would prefer a different color scheme. Well, anyway, nice chat!


I would like the option to customize my colors.


Some weekends I'm up for it but i try to only drink tequila which doesn't give me hangovers


I like craft cocktails, Moscow Mule is my drink of choice, so sweet and sour but so good!


Have you ever given the very potent everclear a try?


O for sure! Those bring my back to college, how about you!


Omg yes it was a new years tradition in my 20's its like drinking gasoline


for sure, there is a drink you can make with it, I think it was jungle juice. I can't remember the ingredients of that craft cocktail


Whats the strongest drink youve ever had


Probably apple pie. It was everclear, apple juice and cinnamon and you boil it. VERY Potent, how about you?


OMG the sweetness has to make it kick in that much harder. mine is just ever clear ive never mixed it with anything sweet cause i know that would be deadly


Do you ever write on facebook after drinking everclear?


That right there is a deadly combination in itself its a recipe for embarrasment. I once called my exes parents 3am while i was blacked out they couldnt hear me because of the loud music thankfully lol


We make bad decisions and at least on facebook you can delete it lol


Yea but you cant delete the screenshot somebody just took of the embarrassing paragraph you just posted


that is true, like so many people forget that are famous, lol


Have you ever seen the videos of mark zuckerberg at a bbq where he just behaves like a robot in front of the camera lol


no lol, I will have to research those on youtube. I participated one time in deleting 10 friends for a free whopper at burger king


I would definitely give up 10 non active accounts for a nice whopper and a sprite lol


I would give up 100 for 10 whoppers! Good chatting with you!


do you like mcdonalds? they added the drive thru for soldiers who weren't allowed out of their cars in fatigues


Hi, Yes, I like McDonalds and that was very smart of them to start something like that, it made them a lot of money. We've come a long way, baby as far as cars are concerned.  One of the first cars we had was the Model T.


cadillac car brand was named after a french explorer who discovered detroit


Yes, his name was Antoine de la Mothe Cadillac.


maybe thats why detroit is like the home of car factories?


No doubt in my mind.  Yes, we'd all still be driving horse-drawn carriages and carts if it weren't for Henry Ford.


Europe apparently didnt like the idea too much since it took them longer to adopt the idea


True.  Do you know why the back of our cars is called the "trunk"?


I feel like Ive heard before but im not sure.


It's because old cars used to carry wooden trunks on the back of their cars.  Ha,ha.


that makes perfect sense! there was a guy named Jann who became a professional race car driver by playing gran turismo


Yes, Jann Mardenborough beat 90,000 people in the video game, Gran Turismo.  Wow. is he good or what?


Is he good or is that a little irresponsible that he spent SO much time playing video games...


Well, you might have a point there.  But, now he's a professional race car driver and that was probably his main goal in all of it.  So, cheers to Jann!


Hes probably inspiration to all those kids who play video games endlessly. did you know its legal in south africa to equip your car with flamethrowers to prevent carjacking lol


All I can say is, that must be a wild place to live.  Yikes!  On a quiter note, do you do Facebook?  Did you know that Mark Zuckerberg suffers from red-green color blindness and that's why most of the coloring on Facebook is blue?


Do you think Tom from myspace is kicking himself right now for not buying facebook?


Absolutely! What a mistake that was.  He could have bought Facebook for $75 million in 2005.


And maybe had still been in business. facebook started out in 2004 for harvard students only but by 2006 it was offered to anyone. that took off incredibly fast


Yes, it did.  Did you know that Iceland is actually rewriting it's constitution via Facebook?


The science discoveries about our solar system and the universe in general is amazing. I was a young boy when sputnik was launched and now look at the knowledge we have obtained.


Yes. It is amazing. The amount of technology that we have and the speed in which we are obtaining it blows ones mind. I still don't understand how half of the stuff that we have now a days even works.


I know. It is mind blowing. Space exploration has come a long way since Galileo invented to telescope.


Did you know that Astronomers detected building blocks in a planet 455 light years away. It's crazy that they can even see that far.


I wonder how? Wish I knew more about the science behind their discovery. There is also a planet where precipitation is glass shards which travel at  4500 mph. I'm thinking Mercury because of the locked orbit and temp difference between front and back


Yeah. That is an insane amount of heat. Sometimes I forget how hot the sun truly is. It's pretty amazing just how everything in our solar system is placed together and how it all works together. If things were just a little bit different we couldn't survive on Earth.


That's a scary though just how many things had to come together to have the world we now inhabit. When I was very young and first heard that the sun would quit working a billions of years I actually worried about it.


So, have you ever heard of Everclear. It's an alcoholic beverage.


I have heard of it but never tried it. I was a party-er when years ago but seldom drink anymore. I guess it has some serious health risks associated with it.


Yeah. apparently it is like 190 proof. I just don't understand why anyone would want to drink that. It seems like straight up poison. But I guess that's why they banned it from being close to college campuses because a lot of young people don't think about such things.


Yes. I learned a long time ago to drink in moderation. I know that there are people around where I live that make 'hooch' that is supposed to be almost pure. Having a drink with buddies can be fun but getting blotto usually leads to trouble in one form or another.


Yes. You definitely have to be responsible with that type of stuff. It can lead to a lot of dangerous situations, which is why people are wanting them to put such expansive warning labels on.


I know that there have been recent deaths on college campuses caused by over drinking. I guess many teens look to it as a right of passage.


Yeah. Peer pressure can make kids act differently sometimes. I know that all kids face those types of pressures. Hopefully when my kids are older they will have enough sense not to do such things.


Yes, hopefully so. None of mine have done more than experiment with booze, at least that's what they tell me. Kids don't lie do they?


No never. Haha. I just heard of the Burger King promotion where if you unfriend ten people you get a free whopper. I wish I would have known about this. Haha.


I'm afraid I don't have ten people to unfriend. My kids demanded that I get on facebook but I am constantly getting messages that if I don't become more active my account will be inactivated. I feel so excluded. I don't feel the need to spew my life out into the nether world.


I hear ya. i have no idea the last time I posted anything. Just doesn't seem natural to me to just post stuff on the internet about myself. I guess we are just behind the times.


No, we are the ones with common sense. Did you know that Myspace turned down an offer to buy Facebook? Now is there even a Myspace around?


Not that I know of. I remember when I had a MySpace. Back when I was like 17 or 18. Seems like forever ago. I bet MySpace wishes they would have made that purchase since Facebook is now worth over 400 billion.


Yes and Zuckerburg is a billionaire. Why could't I come up with an idea for something like that.


Maybe you'll come up with another idea sometime. Well, I have to get going here. It was very nice chatting with you.


Hi! That is a hard question. I think he's arrogant and a jerk but I do like some of his ideas. Are you?


I too, he is not this genius he talks about, he is a complete idiot, sorry


Haha! Do you know who the only US president was to have a PhD?


That is so interesting, you would expect more! Did you know that JFK , washington, and jefferson were the richest presidents ever?


Oh wow! Do you know what an alternative name for our planet is?


I am not sure, what is it? the blue planet??


Besides Gaia, it is also known as tellus and telluris.


that is interesting! Did you know that Jupiter's moon Ganymede would be considered a planet of it orbited the sun?


Oh wow that's pretty cool! Did you know that you could fit every other planet between the earth and the moon?


I did not know that! My mind is blown! I know that astronomers detected building blocks of life in a system 455 light years away


Woah! There is also a planet that orbits four stars.


Wow, I bet in North Korea, they think the whole world orbits them. Kim Jong-un probably told them that!


That is funny! I'm not too familiar with him. But I know he is young. He was born January 8, 1983.


The onion voted him the sexiest man alive, which was a complete joke, but China believed it!


Gross haha! He is the grandson of the first leader of North Korea.


Yea and a complete lunatic. He killed off most of his own family.


That's sad. I wonder how long he will stay a leader.


Hopefully not long, good chatting with you!


I'm a big fan.  Surprised to find out that there's only 11 minutes of actual gameplay during an average game.


I read that too! Seems like a lot of wasted game time. Who's your favorite team?


Out of the 32 teams my favorite is the Pittsburgh Steelers because my family comes from the central part of the state.


That's a good team. I cannot believe there are only 4 major sports in North America.


Yes. I'm surprised that we haven't seen a female NFL player yet since there's no written rule against them playing.  I figured maybe a kicker or punter would have been a good fit.


They do use chips in players shoulder pads to track their movements.


Interesting.  The average lifetime earnings of an engineer are higher than the lifetime earnings of an average NFL or MLB player.  Probably because of the longer career an engineer has.


I had no idea the super bowl is held on the first sunday in Feb. I thought they chose a different Sunday every year.


I never noticed that.  But, now that you mention it you're right!  Do you like Tom Brady at all?


I agree.  Surprised he was originally a 6th round draft pick in 2000.  He is considered the biggest steal in the history of the NFL draft due to be drafted at such a low round.


I can understand. Plus his wife makes double what he makes. He should try harder and make more money.


lol Yes.  He has an odd quirk where he has never eaten a strawberry in his entire life.


Such a weird and stupid thing... Who doesn't eat strawberries? I mean... daquiries, margaritas, shortcake...


lol right?  Patriots coach Bill Belichick always lists Brady on the injury report every week even though he shows no signs of being injured.  Probably to play a mental mind game with the upcoming opponent.


They are good. They have either won or lost by 3 or 4 points in all 6 tries.


I never realized that all of the games were that close.  Brady is 1 of only 2 quarterbacks to ever win the Super Bowl in their first season as a starter.


That's right!  It was nice chatting with you!


Do you enjoy boxing? Would you pay to watch youtubers box?


I do love Youtube,  but I wouldnt pay for that.  Would you?


I woudn't. I'm not a fan of boxing. I would like to know where the money from the 800,000 viewers went!


lol right.  Whoever it went to is probably on vacation right now laughing at everyone lol


I'm sure the 3 paypal employees are on a continuous vacation for selling YouTube to google for 1.65 billion in 2006.


Yeah,  I know right,  lucky them.  Youtube is the 2nd largest search engine on the net.


I never knew that there was a blutube...where police share law enforcement videos. Did you?


I did hear about that, thats pretty cool.


I've never seen Justin Bieber's "baby" video, but I'm not a fan of his so I'm not really surprised that his is the most disliked video on YouTube.


I have seen it a long time ago,  I wasnt impressed,  but I cant believe its the most disliked video on Youtube lol


I feel like Bieber is always surrounded by drama. Maybe he should learn from Jim Carrey and not do anything with drama anymore since it doesn't prevent positivity.


I agree,  hes one of those people who drama always follows,  he really needs to work hard to get some positivity.


It's crazy that Hugh Laurie makes $700,000 per episode in House. I like that show and he is good in it, but I don't think anyone is worth that much!


That is a lot of money!  I have never seen that show though,  any good?  I remember the FRIENDS cast made like  1.2 mil per episode back in the days,  but that was comedy.


It is good!  Would you ever listen to classic radio drama on a free website? I don't know that it would hold my attention...


I dont think that would really interests me.  Thats great that they still have those somewhere.


I don't think I'd like that website, but I do use the internet a lot. I don't think I'd use the 3g that's available on the peak of Mt. Everest though! lol


Maybe you would to post a selfie lol Gotta tell social media you made it to the top!


Maybe! Did you know that you could save a copy of the internet...there's one in the library of Alexandria!


I never knew that,  How do you even save the internet lol


I'm not sure, but supposedly it's for in case the internet burns down, which I didn't know was possible either!


That would be tragic.  I cant imagine going back to life without the internet and online shopping lol


Me either. I'm going to do some of that shopping now lol. Nice chatting with you!


Great. Did you check out the Super Bowl?


I watched until half time. It was pretty boring. What about you?


I watched the whole thing. Looks like the only player than can beat Brady is Eli.


Lol yep. I'm not a huge fan of New England. Was really pulling for the Rams. Did you know the NFL has no written rule against women players?


HAHA! I can't believe the average NFL game is only 11 minutes of actual gameplay.


Wow! No wonder Brady is hardly ever injured...no matter what Bill Belichick says


Anyway...Eli is definitely Brady's kryptonite.


Yes that's for sure. I think it's weird that Tom Brady has never eaten a strawberry in his entire life.


Who needs strawberries when you have such a great wife like Giselle?


She brings home the bucks too. Makes more than double of Tom. Net worth 400M


Yep, they are a very wealthy couple. I didn't know that Eli Manning has genius-level IQ.


Well I think women are smarter than men.  ;)


LOL! Not sure about that one haha. Did you know in the last 20 years of the NFL draft, only 3 that were taken number 1 overall have won the super bowl?


Yeah. Brady was number 50 or something. Kurt Warner had to go to the cfl. Then he came to the nfl and won in his first year


Almost as odd as the speed limit at ole miss


Hi there! Not sure about you but I like Presidential facts. Did you know the top three wealthiest presidents in American history were JFK, Washington, and Jefferson.


Hi, that is really surprising that Trump is not among them. I guess this is adjusted for inflation? I know the presidents guest house is larger then the white house. I learned that on a tour but never actually went in the guest house.


I said the same. Did you know the guest house of the president is bigger than the white house?


OMG it came through slow sorry! silly me! Ddi you know the first president of Zimbabwe was called president banana?


That's okay. No I didn't! That's funny but somehow I doubt people would make fun of him.


I would say so!!  How do you like the idea that the president of Indonesia has released 3 pop albums while in office!


I wonder if they are any good. I guess he wouldn't have had time to tour them. I think the most interesting presidential fact is that the runner up in the US used to become vice president.


I wondered the same! I would hate that to happen. Sometimes the candidate choices are horrible!


Yeah. I guess that's why they stopped doing it back in 1805. Nowadays the runner up would never get along with the winner.


I agree they never would. Our planet does need that type of chaos. Hard to believe five planets are visible to the naked eye.


If you have 20/20 vision you can actually see Uranus naked eye as well from a dark sky, so 6. Cool you're into astronomy too.  Uranus is weird how it rotates on it's side so north is not up there.


I never knew that. Planet Venus does not tilt so it has has no seasons.


Yeah a day on Venus is longer then a year! If Jupiter did not outshine them you could actually see the 4 Galilean moons naked eye as well. I can't imagine what it was like for Galileo to turn his primitive telescope on Jupiter.


That's crazy! There's a planet where shards of glass precipitate sideways at 4500 mph in 2000 degree Fahrenheit weather.


Yes it really is. We have learned a lot thanks to the Kepler telescope. I hope nasa launches another one soon.


Oh, I have not heard of a Kelper telescope. What is that all about?


It was a telescope launched to discover planets orbiting other stars. It discovered many different planets since it was working from space and did not have to contend with earths atmosphere but it is no longer functioning.


Oh, that is cool. It was nice chatting with you!


Only enough to know that Disney offers people 30K to say "Im going to Disney World", lol


Wow, what? THat is amazing. Did you know women can play in NFL?


Yes, I did. I'm waiting for one to be a kicker. Supposedly, Eli Manning has a genius-level IQ. Not sure how much I believe those stats.


Did not know that, good for him. I was surprised to learn that the avergae gameplay is only 11 minutes


That's crazy. Cooper Manning had to quit his own football career before it began, he has spinal stenosis. To think there could be three of them playing at one time.


Wow that is unfortunate. Maybe he could have become an engineer and make a better living than the average football plaer


Or, he could have rules named after him, had he of been able to play in the NFL. Tom Brady does.


Did not know that about him. I do know that he has never had a strawberry


I didn't know that either, do you know why?


Not sure of that really. As good and wealthy as he is, his wife seems to make way more than him


She's not really doing anything, as she stopped modeling after their first kid was born. It's hard to believe he's still around, after 16 years.


Yeah that is true. Did you know his coach lists him in the injury report every week?


I did not. I wonder if those tracking chips are setting something off on him?


Good point. How about Eli Manning, do you know what the full name is?


I have no idea. I'm not a football fan.  I know there is a coach who is a rocket scientist.


His name is Elisha and his father was also a QB in the NFL


The rocket scientist coach went to a high school that had six digits of PI in the fight song. That would have been interesting.


Yeah that actually is pretty interesting. Speaking of the NFL, did you know women can play?


I did. I'm waiting for a kicker, since so many girls play soccer, and fill in for the HS teams.


Yeah that would be interesting to see. And maybe they can also stay away from becoming New Orleans cheerleaders.


Yeah, that is infuriating that they cannot eat in the same restaurant as a player.


I think that rule is just wrong at every level, totally agree with you on that.


Do you like football, I love the NFL, 17 weeks of action, I don't like long seasons.


I don't really watch football, it seems like a waste of a few hours since the average game has only 11 minutes of live play.


Do you like any other sport ? The NFL has great athletes  like Tom Brady and Eli Manning.


I prefer football over the other three major north american sports leagues.


The Manning should enter history, a father and 2 sons that are NFL quarterbacks, that is rare. What do you like about football ?


The Manning family is clearly talented. I appreciate that women are technically allowed to play.


How do you like  the single elimination tournament instead of a best of 7 games that we see in other sports ?


I like it! I think it instills fierce competition.


Yeah, it is really intense, do you wish there were more games in the regular season ?


I'm indifferent since I don't really watch. I find it fascinating that they put tracking chips in the pads and balls.


Yeah, it must help the officials decisions and to monitor concussions.


Players are crazy to risk concussions. Tom Brady should retire since his wife makes more than double what he makes.


But the salary of an average player is not that high, in a lifetime an engineer will earn more than the average NFL player.


It is a huge risk, especially when wins aren't guaranteed. Games are so close. Tom Brady has come within 3-4 points of a win or loss in all of his superbowls.


But he is really good, he is one of the  2 players that won 5 Super Bowls.


Do you think he is better than Eli Manning? I would go by Eli too if my name was Elisha.


Eli is younger than Tom Brady, we have to wait for them to retire before we can pass a judgment. And you are right, Elisha is a horrible name.


Ole Miss loves the Mannings. Their campus speed limit has reflected their jersey numbers, 18 and 10 mph.


That is a nice and classy honor. He was still playing for them in 2003.


Eli could have gone to a more scholastic school since he has a genius level IQ.


But he would have been less famous, I don't think they would have changed the speed limit for a physician.


Very true! Maybe he wanted the fame and to follow in dad's footsteps.


The father must be really proud having 2 sons that have played in the NFL.


Did you watch the Logan Paul boxing match?


I didn't either, but I'm pretty sure I saw some of the highlights on t.v.


Oh yeah, I love you tube but use it for music for the most part. How about you?


Same as you.  I use youtube for most of my online entertainment


It is crazy how many videos you tube has. It is a very useful website.


I completely agree.  Did you know that the first youtube video uploaded was about a guy talking about an elephant


I did not know that! I am sure there are all kinds of crazy videos now.  The internet in general is a wild place.


I know.  I am addicted to youtube because it has so many interesting videos that I could watch for hours.


It is very addicting because once you start playing a video the choices for videos to play next are usually so good.


Exactly.  Did you know that in 2007 youtube consumed as much bandwidth as the entire internet in 2000


Wow! That is so much bandwidth, I think Netflix took up the other half! Lol.


Netflix is also another media juggernaut


Yep, Netflix use accounts for so much of the total internet usage.  I can't believe there is coverage on the top of Mt. Everest.


Did you know that youtube began as a dating website


No I didn't know that, that is interesting.  Look how big it is now, no wonder Google bought them.


They are such a huge company.  I think most people think they are only a web search company and that is hardly true.


yeah, that was what I though about google.  They mostly involve in our daily communication


They do so much it's crazy how big they are and how big their goals are as well.


By the way, nice chatting with you.  Have a nice holiday


Hi, how are you? What would you like to chat about?


I do like some sports. What about you? What sports do you like?


I like various sports but I've always been an NFL fan. Do you follow football at all?


I follow the NFL during the playoffs. The games are usually good. Didn't see the SB this year though.


I didn't see the SB but I was watching the Patriots games. It was pretty incredible to me to see Tom Brady still playing at the age of 40 and doing so well. I remember when he started in the league when Drew Bledsoe got hurt and everyone was surprised at how well he played, being a 6th round pick.


The guy really takes care of himself. He is amazing. I wonder when he'll retire. He's got to be in his last season or two.


I think he may be the greatest quarterback of all time. When you look at some of the other quarterbacks in the league right now like Blake Bortles or Nick Foles, I don't know who is going to be the next generation of great quarterbacks.


I figure there will be a new Eli Manning or something. A genius that has a knack for sports.


Yeah, although a guy with a pedigree like that is hard to come by. When your dad is Archie Manning and your brother is Peyton Manning, you almost have to be a quarterback.


Yes, he probably wanted to be a ballet dancer, but gave up the dream to follow the family tradition.


It worked for him. He and Peyton were both number 1 picks in the draft and both won Super Bowls. The Giants got lucky when they got him from the Chargers.


Sometimes QBs just need to be part of the right system with the right coach.


I think that's part of why Tom Brady has been so good. He's been able to play with the same team and coach his whole career. That's part of the advantage of going to eight Super Bowls, I guess.


I guess he and the coach are on the same wavelength. No need to talk, just understand each other intuitively.


He's been through the playoffs so many times, what is there to say, really? He knows it's how you play on the field.


I would think after he retires he would become a QB coach or something. He doesn't need the money. I guess his wife is rich too.


That's true...I think she makes twice what he does a year. It's crazy to think that, if you were an engineer, you'd make more money over your lifetime than an NFL player.


I guess that there would be fewer concussions as well. that's a selling point. Anyway, great chat!


Yeah, I watch it a lot. Are you aware that the average NFL game has only 11 minutes of game play?


That seems really short. I guess once they spot the ball and all the other stuff, it might be down to 11 mins...


yeah. Well apparently they put chips in players shoulders to record every move on the field.


I bet that would help track speed and movement. May even help cut down on concussions and poor tackling techniques.


Yeah, they also put chips in the balls. I wonder if the teams share that information.


I get angry with the chip thing because there should be no need to measure or try to spot the ball. The chip should be able to tell the ref if it is a first down, within second. If tennis has this technology, football can too.


Yeah, well we saw what happened with the refs and a few of the calls during the playoffs.


My favorite is my hometown, the Redskins, but their performance has declined since Dan Snyder bought them.


HA! I was so surprised when he brought in like Deion Sanders and Jason Taylor and a bunch of pro-bowlers. I was worried about my Bears!


Yeah, that was a disaster. Did you know that on average an engineer will make more than the average NFL player?


I did not know that but assuming the avg NFL players plays for 2 years, that makes sense. Not as prestigious though...


Yeah, I can believe that. There's also no written rule against female players.


There might not be but I don't know if the American public is ready to see female players get hurt.


Yeah, I don't think it would happen. When I was in high school some of the teams had female kickers though.


I'm all for it, I just don't like seeing players get hurt.


Yeah, that would be pretty bad. I'm not sure if Americans have the stomach for that.


It's tough enough to see Julian Edelman get CTE every Sunday...


Yeah, I think that will be a bigger and bigger issue, especially if they come up with a way to properly diagnose it early.


Hello, are you interested particularly in politics?


Here and there! I do keep up with it! Although I don't know what to think of Regan's suggestion he could envision a limited nuclear war, even if it was she's ago! What about you?


That's crazy! I honestly would have expected that to be said be Trump, not Reagan. Although I know Trump is threatening military action against North Korea, which makes me feel like a limited nuclear war is in the possibility eventually, that's a scary thought.


Indeed. But then again, Trump's threats of military action are a bluff according to HR McMaster. So we shall see I suppose...


Oh I'm sure we will, it's funny to see two similar minds be at battle, in terms of both Trump and Kim Jong Un having a lot of media around them with their own agenda to promote the,


So true. And hey, maybe the Trump's critics are questioning his sanity in order to help convince Kim that he's serious! Ha! Who knows, though?


Ahah fair enough. Honestly though if I try to be objective, I think Kim Jong Un is more of a nut. I mean he edits pictures to depict a different history than reality!


You are right! Just as crazy people like Stalin and Mao did. Must be something crazy leaders do? Then again, Kim is no idiot though, just psychotic. They say he even learned to drive at the age of 3!


Ahah see? I wonder how many people get brainwashed into thinking he really did all that! I personally don't think anything he says can be trusted, we don't even know how old he really is!


Agreed! And can you believe Kim was voted sexiest man alive by the Onion and China of all places believes it? Ha!


Ahah maybe power really is that alluring. He certainly tries to appear like a loving, fun person, after all he ordered the renovation of their theme parks, who would have even thought they had theme parks!


I know, right? Plus no one knows how old he is. Not to mention he ordered the execution of his own uncle in 2013!


Wow that's crazy, presidents really do do some fascinating things. It seems in general presidents are less focused than we think, like the president of Indonesia has released 3 pop albums, WHILE in office!


Exactly. It's crazy! And can you believe Trump isn't even in the top three wealthiest presidents of all time in the US? It's actually Washington, Jefferson and JFK!


That's really shocking! Maybe they measure for inflation, otherwise I don't know how they got that! I bet what makes Trump even more mad is that the White House isn't as large as the president's GUEST house!


Wow! Ha! You would think it'd be the opposite! Heck, I wonder how Americans would feel if the presidential runner up in elections automatically became vice president as it used to be up until 1805!


It's probably a good thing that got changed ahah, I wonder if aliens existed on other planets, maybe they'd have different election systems. Then again it's hard to even imagine life elsewhere, like there's a planet where it rains glass! Imagine being there.


Hey, who knows? AstronomerAstronomers did detect a planetary system with building blocks of life roughly 455 light years away so perhaps we'll know how their election systems work one day!


Well we definitely can't live in some of the planets closer by haha, especially not Uranus, which spins and rolls around the sun, so maybe looking 455 light years away is our only hope!


Ha! That is true. Or even Venus where it doesn't tilt and therefore, the planet has no seasons because of that! In fact, It's the only planet that rotates clock wise!


Hopefully one day we will find life on another planet somewhere! Anyways it was nice chatting with you, have a good day!


Yes I do. Did you know that women can play too?


Yes there is no rule against them playing in there so they are good to try


Yes and if they quality then they will join the rest of the team


Yeah. Switching topics, the average gameplay is only 11 minutes.


I know and yet we are glued to the TV for hours during games


I know. Engineers make more than footballers too over the lifetime


Well they also have longer careers so maybe that helps a bit there


True good point. Did you hear of that rule for Saints cheerleaders?


Yes they are not allowed to eat in the same place as the players


yea and they also need to leave mid meal if they walk in


Yeah too bad it is still around. DO you like Brady?


I love him he is so good. He is popular but his wife seems to be more popular


Yes and she also makes double what he makes


Yeah. He is listed in the injury report every week by coach Belichick


Yeah. The guy has never had a strawberry in his life


Yeah strange but I guess he could also be allergic to them


Yeah that could be. He has either won or lost the super bowl with the patriots by 3 or 4 points


Yeah. Prior to 2007 he never threw 30 touchdown passes


Yeah and then had 50 after that. Nice chat tonight


A lot actually,. Did you hear they are putting chips on the players to track them ?


Really, what for ?> Are they tracking something important?


Yes they are tracking velocity and rotation and a bunch of other stats


Nice I wonder if they can use those stats to make the game a bit safer too


I hope so too. DO you know who is the only coach that is a former rocket scientist?


Oh there is one, I did not know that. WHo is that?


It is Matt Patricia and he went to a school that had all the fun math names in its title


Nice. Did you know engineers make more over the lifetime than the players?


I guess it makes sense since their careers are longer too


Yeah that makes sense. Did you know women can play in the NFL too?


Yes there are no rules there, if you make it, you play


I like him, he is a good player. DO you like him?


I do actually. Did you know his wife makes twice more than him?


Yes she is popular. He was picked number 199 in the 1000 nfl draft


Yeah. He has never had a strawberry in his life.


WOw interesting. Under him and Belichick, the team has either won or lost by 3 or 4 points


Yeah. And he is always listen in the injury report by his coach


WOw nice. There is even a rule named after him


Wow that is awesome. He has won the superbowl five times with the Patriots


Hello!  Have any thoughts on Kim Jong Un the current leader of North Korea?


many thoughts, he has edited pictures to change how history is shown just like other communist leaders have done


Interesting.  He learned to drive a the age of 3!  Crazy.


interesting, it is not known actually how old he is either though


The country is so secluded and secretative that not knowing that does't come as surprise.  He was voted sexiest man alive by the Onion.  That's hilarious.


Interesting to learn that they have theme parks in the country also


I agree.  Never hear about things like that.  I wonder if he ever will visit the US.  If he did I wonder if he would stay in the US President's guest house, which is larger than the White House?


yes lets talk about the president next, the president of Indonesia has put out 3 albums


Makes you wonder how he would find the time for that?


and I wonder if they were good, lets talk about the planet next. One of Jupiter's moons would be considered a planet if it went around the sun


i guess, Venus is interesting in the fact it rotates clock-wise, they only planet to do so.


That is interesting.  Planet Uranus rotates sideways and "rolls" around the sun rather than spinning like the other planets.


Venus also does not tilt which means it has no seasons which is interesting.


Wow.  That is interesting.  Could you imagine being on there?  lol


I wonder what the temperature is like, there are building block of life on a planet 455 light years away


Not sure what it would be.  Hopefully it wouldn't be like the one planets that has shards of glass percipitating sideways at 4500 mph in 2000 degree heat!


There are 5 planets in the solar system that we can see with our naked eye.


Interesting.  Do they still consider Pluto a planet?


No, Pluto and Pallas to name a few were considered planets once, but not anymore


Interesting!  It was nice chatting with you.  Have a good one!


I am.  I still buy compact discs instead of downloading songs


regular CDs ? oh wow. Did You realized that vinyl cds are coming back ? You don't like those ?


I used to have a collection of those but I gave them to my friend when I had to move.


oh ok :) Do You know Linking Park band ?


It was my daughter's favorite then but I enjoyed listening to their songs too.


Fun fact - Linkin park's "hybrid theory" is the best-selling album of the 21st century, maybe Your daughter was listening to that ?


It was a good song.  She is 33 but still keeps the CD.


oh, so YOU actually remember the song ? :)


Yes I do.  I wonder what Linkin park band members are doing now.


hmmm... that's something to look up... I mean we know what happen to the main singer...


I just looked up all of their songs.  I will listen to them when we are done.


I think I still have their discography somewhere on my hard drive ;) sure, a night of Linking Park ;)


YES ! :) it's the universal language for the soul... sometimes You don't even have to understand all the words to know You love a song :)


You are right.  Do you listen to any radio station?  I am still amazed with radio and tv technology.


Radio ? I mean sure in a car - q104.3 - classic rock station, You ?


Mix 96.9 in Phoenix.  I now listen to Rob Thomas, Pink, etc.  Are you familiar with how radio was created?


I am not familiar myself.  I read that it had to do with electromagnetic energy waves that are transmitted through space.


I guess its something... ;) way over our heads :) lol


Talking about radio, do you know that Canada has a law that requires radio stations to play 40% or more of music played by Canadians?


hmm... very patriotically of them :) I guess the question is.... is Canadian music pleasant to listen ;)


I don't know.  Anyway, nice talking to you and have a great day.


Me too, I had that album! It is the #1 album of the 21st century and I believe that!


It really is a good album. I hope it holds up over time like Pink Floyd has been able to do


For sure, Pink Floyd is a classic too. Did you ever listen to the NWA album?


I have. It was very controversial at the time. Its crazy how it was able to hit Platinum status


I agree! the controversy allowed them to go platinum without major air play or tours


They sound very family, I am sure if I heard one of their songs I would know them, what about them?


They had to re record all their hits for a best of album because they didnt own the rights to their own songs


wow, that would suck lol. is the dark side of the moon pink floyd?


Yes they are! And they are still quiet popular


Nice, that is amazing that they have lasted over 40 years with fame! I do hear songs from that album on the radio sometimes


Still toping album charts as current as 2014. Thats lasting power!


WHAT!!!!! that is awesome. speaking of the radio, you know if you have it on AM you may pick up storms from jupiter!


Those must be some crazy powerful storms!


I agree! Speaking of Jupiter also, their moon ganymede would be considered a planet if it orbited the sun. Must be amazing in size!


Hopefully its not as scary as the planet where its rains glass shards sideways


yea, that would suck lol. Or be part of the planetary system 455 million light years away that may have building blocks for life.


I wish we were able to space travel. That would be interesting to see if there is other life out there


That would be so amazing, I don't think we will see that in our lifetime unfortunately. It was so nice chatting to you!


Hello, are you a music fan? I love Linkin Park, and their "Hybrid Theory" album is still the best selling of this century.


Yeah I love Linkin Park as well, its just too bad Chester is dead now so even if they make more music is definitely wont be the same.


He was great. Dark Side of the Moon is a great album as well, and one of the best selling in 2014. Guess a new generation is growing up to love Floyd.


Well I don't see how anyone can not like Pink Floyd! I also like Nwa's music, mostly Ice Cube, And I also loved the movie.


I love NWA. The Rock Hall had an exhibit on them a few years ago. It was insteresting. I still would love to hear the rap album of the twins in Japan, they are 100


Yeah too bad none of that music is on the radio anymore, radio has really declined in the last 10 years.


Maybe. If Jupiter's moon orbited the sun, it would be a planet.


Yeah and Venus does not tilt so it has no seasons, I wouldn't might having that here on our planet, maybe then my allergies wouldn't sky rocket when the warm weather hits.


Maybe, mine would be better also. I like that Uranus is so different, that it rolls instead of spins.


Yeah I would love if signs of life could be found in my lifetime, but i doubt that happens.


I would love it too. Jupiter has radio storms that can be picked up with am radio, how cool would it be to hear alien lifeform on that?


Well if by chance we did get contacted from an alien source at some point it would probably be with radio frequency, but I think if a species travels millions of light years just to contact earth we might be in trouble of an attack.


There is a station in Finland that broadcasts entirely in latin, maybe they can help us out.


I dont know, I doubt if we are contacted by aliens they will speak anything close to any of our languages.


I have a feeling they are more advanced than we are. I bet they still refer to Pluto as a planet.


I find is very silly that we no longer consider it a planet, It seems like we are always finding out new things about the planets in our immediate solar system, we will get to mars very soon I think.


Some of the larger moons were  considered planets at one time.


I feel like when we do get to mars, we may find signs of former life on that planet.


Elon Musk is doing his best to find out, lol.  I think the moon Juno is interesting, and maybe hold life.


We can only hope, it would be amazing if that happened in our lifetimes. Any way good chat.


Have you ever heard of the band Reel Big Fish?


Its one of my favorite bands, yeah, do you like them?


What did you think about their album the Hybrid Theory?


I thought it was pretty good. Apparently it is the best seller in the 21st century.


It is, it had great sounds in it I also like The Dark Side of the Moon, that was another great album in the history of albums


I heard it sold pretty well in 2014, is that true?


It did, its one of the best selling albums to the day,


What about the radio, do you listen to it?


Not anymore, but apparently you can hear Jupiter's Radio storms on AM radio.


You can wow? they must be really powerful then, hate to be stuck in Jupiter


Did you know that during world war 2 you could make a radio out of a razor blade and a pencil?


I didnt know that, sounds like a great skill to have,


Yeah, I also saw that in a movie called Hart's War.


I didnt watch that movie was it good? would be nice to watch those foxhole radios


It is a pretty good movie, it stars Bruce Willis.


I have to watch that one, what do you think of that Canadian law the one that requires 40% of the music to be Canadian


Interesting, sounds like sort of a weird law. What if their music is no good?


I know right, but it does promote local talent and thats a good thing I guess


Yeah, but it is sort of a weird rule. Well, nice chatting with you!


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


It seems like people are revolting all around the world lately.


People aren't happy & want change I assume. Have you read anything about the revolt in Armenia?


Not really... what's going on over there... plus, people are never happy and want change ;) that's what we just do...


The opposition to their Prime Minister Serzh Sargsyan managed to push him out of power.


Most seemed to think he was an authoritarian & was responsible for widespread corruption that benefited him & others in the ruling elite.


...so why are people revolting ? Removing him from his position should be a positive thing...


They were revolting to remove him from power. Nikol Pashinyan who used to be a journalist was leading the protests.


ahh, so I guess people are happy there now and no more revolts ? It's so hard in some countries to change the way things are high in the government...


They seem happy for now. Armenia has a very close relationship with Russia & the opposition made clear the revolt wasn't aimed at them.


Being friends with Russia seems like a smart idea these days... Putin is a man with the plan and he seems always know what he is doing...


The people seemed to be worried because Russia has a history of interfering in Armenian affairs.


Russia has history interfering wherever they can - Armania, Ukraine, Poland even US...


That's true. Armenia has a parliamentary system like the UK. You know much about it?


No, sorry - I don't know much facts about Armenia...


Tv shows and movies if that's what You're asking ;)


Did you know there's an episode of The Simpsons where Bart didn't appear & wasn't even mentioned?


What ? I thought Bart was like a main guy... how did they managed to have an episode without him ;)


The fact that they only did it once means they learned their lesson I guess.


Hello,  did you know ny area code is 212 because its the easiest to dial on the rotarty?


Yes, they were lucky to get it. I'm surprised they didn't use 112!


Maybe because you have to dial 1 before the area code or something.


Could be, too confusing for people. I didn't know Unicef donates a day of clean water to a child in need from unused  cell use.


Yeah amazing donation,  I hope they get a lot from me,  I dont use my cell phone that much!


I use mine somewhat, but not like some people I know. Interesting smoking near apple computers voids the warranty by making it a biohazard!


Thats weird,  a lot of people smoke though lol guess they shouldnt get an apple.
