Haha you're probably right. I wondered for a while if there's a different version of it in the UK. Because all the stories seemed to use european terms but all the people in the station were American. I know there's a different version of That 70's show in the UK called "Days Like These" where they weirdly use the same script verbatim


I hear that didn't translate too well "across the pond", it got cancelled after just 10 episodes! lol


That makes sense to me, most of the things they talked about were about being an American teenager in the midwest. Seems like they should have changed it at least a little. 10 episodes is so little though


I agree with you on that.  ell, it's been nice chatting with you this morning, I need to get to work, now.  Enjoy the rest of your day!


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


I do!  Did you know that Bill Murray thinks Kung Fu Hustle is the supreme achievement of the modern comedy age!


I love Bill Murray, but I'm not too sure about his opinion on Kung Fu Hustle. Have you seen that movie?


I haven't seen it.  I take that it isn't too good?  lol


It wasn't very funny I don't think. Did you know Jack Black was originally going to be in the Green Lantern film?


I saw that.  I think it would have been really fun with him in it!


Me too. Did you know comedy central has cancelled over 100 shows since 1989?


I didn't know that.  Did you like 30rd Rock from the Sun?


I do like it. I saw that it beat out Seinfeld, Frasier, and Friends for a Golden Globe once.


Yes.  Do you like listening to albums?  I started listening to them in the 1970's but stopped once cassettes came along.


I love listening to albums. Linkin Park's Hybrid Theory album is the best selling of the 21st century.


I always wondered what the biggest selling album was since the turn of the century.


There are two identical twins in Japan that released a rap album at 100 years old.


That is sweet.  What a way to celebrate!  NWA's Straight Outta Compton was the first album to reach platinum status without the support of airplay or a major tour!


That's pretty cool! Do you know much about Earth?


The Earth was formed 4.5 billion years ago.


Wow that's a long time ago. More than 80% of the Earth's forests have been destoyed.


That's sad.  Earth will be virtually helium free by the end of the 21st century.  I bet Buck Rodgers didn't see that coming.


That's scary. I wonder what impact that will have other than filling up balloons?


I'm not sure what will happen.  When Earth was first formed, a day was only 5.5 hours long.


That's a very short day. Well, it was good talking to you!


I am good.  Internet dating can be challenging, do you think?


Are you coming on to me? Just kidding! I never did internet dating. Some of my friends have and one found his wife on a site. Have you ever done it?


I tried years ago without much luck.  Sometimes you meet people who are not very interesting.  At least you don't have to deal with telephone calls with them these days


Yeah. I am fearful I would be one of the boring ones. Pretty sure my dates would escape through the bathroom windows.


laugh.  These days there are apps on your cell phones which can fake a call and let you escape - after all an iphone now has more computing power than the entire us nuclear arsenal


Yeah. I just don't think I would survive in today's dating world. I would just want to sit at a bar and watch some ball games with a few beers.


Well you might could go out to a comedy film with your date - bromantic comedies like Harold and Kumar could be good for date night


I could date them but I don't smoke weed. I do love comedies. Do you?


Yes.  I don't like slapstick and visual comedies, as much as more modern styles.


Me too. I really like smart comedies like Modern Family.


Yes.  I love 3rd rock from the sun - it won a golden globe even


That's a good one. Demetri Martin was accepted into Harvard law but choose comedy instead!


That is pretty funny.   Ryan Stiles didnt even finish high school because he loved comedy so much


Bill Murray needs to go back to school if he thinks kung fu hustle is the best comedy of all time...


I always felt like it was one of the best in the universe.  But again the universe evolves through time just like our taste in movies


Some people think the universe only has 1 electron so who knows!


That is pretty crazy.   But you never know - the universe could just be a giant super hologram


I hope we are not pulled outside the observable universe. Who would find us?


No doubt..  But maybe if we got lucky enough we could get sucked towards one of the cold stars that are actually cool enough to touch


Check out some of Isaac Newton's writings!


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


Sure, who doesn't.    I've liked them ever since I read "Peter Rabbit"


How did you like it? DO you have a favorite animal?


I liked the book as a kid, and more recently the movie with James Corden.


Nice. So you you watch them on regular tv or netflix?


I watch Netflix when I can.   When was the service founded?


Netflix started as an online DVD sales and rental service.


Yeah. and the guy who invented it started it because he had to pay a late fee to blockbuster


That is quite funny.    Did you know netflix now pays people to do nothing but watch and tag movies!


Yeah that is a sweet gig for sure. They account for 33% of all bandwidth in north america


Back to blockbuster, in 2000, netflix proposed to become the online service for the chain and were laughed out of the office.


Well, look where they have gotten now. BLockbuster should have taken their offer to sel


That is true!      Do you know much about travel?


Yeah I like to travel a lot so I try to learn as much as I can. Do you travel much?


I try to go away, but I am still beaten by my garden gnome!    It was taken a year ago and has been dozens of places.


Haha, did you kno wthe dutch on working on making a bus that goes 160 mph?


I did not know that.     Ironic, since air travel is actually slower than it was in the 1960s.


No, I have never been.    I do know someone who worked at Netflix's office there though.


well i saw kung fu panda...is that disney?


I am not sure lol, maybe it isn't but I love Kung Fu Panda! It is a great movie to watch as a family


yeah...it seemed disneyesque. you can see so much on netflix these days


yeah,,,i use them and youtube. between the 2, they probably make up half of internet traffic


So interesting, and from 9pm-12 am it accounts for 33 percent of all bandwidth in north america


I know right! Could have been so successful if they didn't turn down buying Netflix.


yeah...i wonder if those late fees that the netflix founder racked up were from blockbuster. thats what inspired him to start the company


and also surprising he tried selling his own company to the one who inspired him to start his own. Did you ever watch Lillhammer?


A former gangster who moves to Lilyhammer Sweden I think because he is in witness protection, then starts causing problems there. A good show and the first netflix original!


yeah...i like gangster stuff like the godfather. too bad blockbuster didnt make netflix an offer it cant refuse


Even if Blockbuster had purchased Netflix, they probably wouldn't have made it as successful as it is now.


yeah...old world vs new. It's like the post office costs more for netflix than bandwith


you figured they would stop their post office rentals, but they must be making money if they are still shipping them


they must...except maybe in japan. there are tolls on every highway there.


That would be a hassle, I would not go there.


well, on Mackinac island there are no cars at all.


wow, how do they get around, good chatting with you!


I do! I actually am watching it right now, how about you?


I watch it a lot.  It's how I usually wind down for the night.  From 9  PM to 12 AM Netflix accounts for 33% of all bandwidth in North America.  I'm in that 33% because that's my hit zone for when I watch. lol


Same here haha. I can't believe it all started because of a late fee!


No doubt!  I wonder if Reed Hastings got that $40 late fee on the vhs copy of Apollo 13 from Blockbuster?


I think he did! Just think, blockbuster could have bought Netflix for 50 million dollars.


They really blew that one didn't they?  Netflix is now worth $2 billion!


I bet the blockbuster execs still cry themselves to sleep at night over it haha. Do you like to travel at all?


You know they do!  lol  I love traveling!


Where is the coolest place you've traveled?


Oh man...that's tough.  I guess I would have to say the Grand Canyon.  My jaw dropped when I saw that for the first time.  One day I would like to go to Japan.


I have never been but I'm sure that would be my reaction. Make sure you save up money for the tolls in Japan!


I see that.  It would cost me more than $200 to travel across the country!


I'm sure it would be worth it! I can't believe the dutch are designing a bus that goes 160 mph!


If I could take that to where I wanted to go and get there safe, I would be traveling every weekend!  lol


I agree! You would probably see many animals since there are 20 quintillion individual animals on this earth!


Holy cow!  I wonder if the Loch Ness monster is included in that list?  The 1912 Scottish protection of animals act lists the Loch Ness monster as a protected species!  lol


Haha how can you protect something that has yet to be seen lol.


I know! hahaha Did you know that hiccups are a holdover from early evolution when early land animals had both gills and lungs?


That is very interesting! I'm going to go look up around when we lost our gills haha. It was great chatting, have a good night!


I suppose you would know that animals are multicellular.


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


Have you seen the next fantastic beasts?


Hello there, no I haven't but I heard it was pretty good.  How about you?


Same here.  I have always loved the Harry Potter franchise!


I have yet to see any of those movies but keep hearing I should and should read the books!


They are fantastic!  I would highly recommend them.


I really need to someday when I get time.  Do you use Netflix?


I do, all the time!  I am in that group that takes up half of the bandwith in the US.


Yeah isn't that a crazy amount during those peak hours?  Crazy!


It really is.  But surprisingly enough they spend more on postage than bandwith.


Yeah I don't think they will continue doing the physical stuff in the future, too much money.


That too, just instant access, no late fees and all that as well.


And to think it was all started over a $40 late fee.


Yeah it sure did, old Reed didn't like having to pay those, so he said I'll just start my own thing.


and it is world wide!  137 million people!


That is true, and I think those numbers will continue to grow as well.


Agreed.  Many people are cutting cable and going with netflix.  myself included.


I still have cable, but only because I watch a lot of live sports.


I use my DVR all of the time as well, I work late so I can't watch most of the games during the live broadcast.


its been great chatting today!  Have a great day!


Have you been using any streaming services lately?


are you referring to things like netflix? If so, I've been using that and Amazon Prime. What about you?


I'd say Netflix is my favorite because they've been around the longest. They were founded in 1997.


I think it is also my favorite. I wonder how you get a job there as a tagger! That sounds quite fun


I wonder how many subscribers they have. You have any idea?


It says 137 million worldwide and 58 million just here in the US. Have you heard of this show in the first paragraph at all? Fantastic Beasts


Yeah I've heard about it. I don't have any kids so I'm not sure if I'd enjoy it. What about you?


I never heard of it but I was just reading it is the prequel to Harry Potter. Did you ever get into that series?


I had a girlfriend that loved it so I watched many of those films with her.


i've read the books, seen the movies, and visited harry potter world. I'm wondering if I would find this show appealing! Do you think it only attracts younger kids or would 30-somethings like it too?


I think it's something all ages can enjoy. You have any favorite actors?


I actually like some of the ones they mention here, jude law is good looking and i think johnny depp does and amazing job at acting, especially when playing eccentric characters. How about you?


Yeah I'm a big fan of Johnny Depp. I remember watching him in the 80's when he starred in the TV show 21 Jump Street.


I wonder what I first saw him in...hmmm. I like when he plays interesting characters like in alice in wonderland or him as Jack Sparrow. Do you watch any other tv shows like the office?


Not that I can think of. You have something in mind that you enjoy?


I really like the office, and I saw that Jon Hamm taught it at his old high school and one of the girls from his class was on the office! I just found that interesting. What other actors do you enjoy?


Haha he is a great comedy actor. did you watch any holiday movies? It talks about one here called the princess switch


Yeah I've heard about it. Seems like a pretty cool Christmas romance movie.


I love Christmas movies! I'm adding this to my list for next year. It seems like we are out of time. It was great chatting with you :)


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


I love dogs! They have great qualities. What about you?


I like them as well! They're much more capable animals than we give credit for. They're one of the only animals to understand pointing!


That is good to know! I have trained a few dogs before. They have their own little eureka moments and love to solve a tough problem.


They're definitely intelligent! In Istanbul they actually have vending machines to release food and water for stray dogs.


That is adorable! I am glad someone is looking out for the stray dogs. In Moscow, Russia dogs have learned to get around through the subway system!


That's crazy! I love how useful they can be. There's actually 12 different blood types for dogs, and they can even donate blood.


Wow, that is 4x as many as human blood types! Dogs are also great for assisting police and military as well as helping the disabled.


I'm sure they're good for blind people especially! A lot of people think dogs are color blind but it isn't true, they just cannot see as many colors as humans can.


Although they may have some vision impairments, dogs are very good at learning language and can learn up to 1000 different words


Definitely such an amazing creature. Are you interested in telephones at all?


I am interested in telephones! Do you know anything interesting about them?


I used to have a rotary phone when I lived in New York! I recently learned the reason the area code is 212 is because it was fastest to dial on a rotary phone.


That is cool! Did you know the person who invented the dial telephone did it out of paranoia? He was worried that other operators were rerouting his calls elsewhere.


I didn't know that! That's interesting, especially because I'm sure he never saw phones becoming as powerful as they are now. An iPhone has more computing power than the US nuclear ICBM deterrent!


Wow! iPhones are a nice luxury aren't they? Some phone makers even hire the symphony to make exclusive ring tones!


That's interesting! But also seems like a waste of money, on the other hand you have companies like Unicef, which donates a day of clean water for every minute you don't use your cell phone.


I've heard of Unicef before but I didn't know they had that program. Speaking of cell phones, they were actually invented by actress Hedy Lamarr in the 1930s


I knew of the actress but never that she did that! It's interesting how cell phones are powered too, all from cables that are just 2.7 inches in diameter lying on the ocean floor.


That is impressive! Did you know that is little correlation between cell phone's connection quality and the little bars of service you see?


I didn't! That definitely changes the way I'm going to look at them from now on. Anyways it was nice talking to you, have a great night!


are you interested in government related policy


I can't believe how much of a disaster the festival was.


I think for the level of this fraud they should have levied the maximum sentence requested.


I concur.  These are not the best people.


I love that the judge told him that bipolar does not excuse his behavior.


His excuse was such a joke.  No one will believe that for sure


Even his prepared statements sound so hollow. It is like a regurgitation of ever statement where people have got caught doing something wrong and want to manipulate their way out of punishment.


Even with the best lawyer, he will never and ever get away such hideous crime


I wonder why as a co founder Ja Rule was not charged.


I have no idea, I think Ja Rule probably did not know the information beforehand.


It would have been nice if they had named the people who were scammed out of 1.2 million to give us an insight to how deep this attempt to defraud went.


I think because of privacy or personal issues that they do not want to release such information.  Do you keep track of celebrity news by any chance


No I don't tend to read much about it unless it is front of me like this article.


okay.  Do you believe what is the max sentence and fine should this guy get?


I think he should have gotten 20 years and be forced to return every cent he collected. What do you think?


completely with you on this.  To warn others from carrying out such act.


Yes that would be a deterrent. Punishments should be harsher to show the judicial system is serious.


I hope there will be no such case in the future.  I feel furious reading the article.  Nice chatting with you


Hey yes I do, I just got back from Florida actually it was for work though, how often do you travel


I haven't traveled a lot in the last year, but generally, yes, I travel a lot. I've been in 43 countries so far.


Wow that's impressive! Did you realize that airplanes travel 10% slower these days? They do it to save fuel but you also get to your destination slower


I may imagine. It's super easy to travel this time of human history. It's funny that the first king who was able to travel around the world was king of Hawaii. What was the purpose of his travel? haha


Yes I don't know! Hopefully he had a good time though. Have you ever used Airbnb before? Apparently there is a version of that but for sleeping on couches


Sure, I used Airbnb a lot. Did you use this couch surfing website?


No I haven't used it. But I have used Airbnb. When you did travel though to other countries, did you notice that airports would just put baggage claim further from the airplane? Instead of making the baggage claim system faster?


Really? Do you think it is done for the purpose?


Yes I think so. One interesting thing that people would do when they traveled back in the age of Discovery, was they would put rabbits on the islands that they visited. That way future discovers would be able to eat the rabbits when they landed


It's very interesting! I didn't know. It's easy to guess that a few rabbits means a few dozens of rabbits in short time. I'm wondering how people travel in Iceland: they don't have public rail service and just take local flights between cities.


Yes that seems very wasteful. But I guess they need to do it because of the terrain. If only people were superheroes and could just fly to the different cities haha


by the way, do you watch movies with superhero? Who is your favorite?


Yes I really like Batman. But that's the only DC comic book character that I like, what about you?


I like Batman too. Have you heard about superhero called "Normalman"?


No I didn't hear about him, is he just a normal person with no superpowers LOL? I want to check out the Garfield spin-off we're all of the Garfield gang had superpowers though


It's nice. I would be interested to check out comic series about fixing the collateral damage caused by superheroes. It would be a lot of fun!


Yes I think so! I am kind of tired of superhero movies though, they are going to have released about 30 of them between the years 2016 and 2020, that's too many


I agree. Too much money are made. I guess this is a purpose for this number. 300 is really a lot.


Yes I think so, although like I said my favorite superhero is Batman, and someone wrote a book about how you could become a real life Batman, that sounds kind of interesting actually


It was nice chat. Thanks. Have a great day!


You too and make sure not to watch too many superhero movies, like I said there are so many coming out that I feel overwhelmed!


I love super hero movies. how about you?


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


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


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


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


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


There is even a superhero that has no powers!


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


Yes.  Pretty crazy concept.  But would be neat.


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


That sounds really awesome and efficient.


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


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


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


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


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


Yea almost everyday, their Family Guy episodes were hilarious


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


Well I got to go, nice chatting with you


Good evening!  He is in the news a lot, but do you know much about Kim Jong-un?


I don't, despite seeing him on TV or news sometimes with President Trump. I heard about the summit Trump was invited to by him and when he showed up, he was the only one there. Was it a joke, you think?


I know they met in 2018, but wasn't aware of any prank summit invites.  Who knows when it comes to the information North Korea shares.  If you believe them, Kim Jong-un was three years old when he learned to drive!


To make it even more far fetched, I heard on TV that Trump made a movie trailer looking to pitch to Kim to end militant hostility. I'm not sure how Kim perceived it. What do you think?


I tend to think he received it fairly positively.  Kim Jong-un is a lover of pop-culture like Trump and probably understood what Trump was saying.


Very interesting! I wonder if it was a smart move after all...I heard Kim Jong Un's half brother used to be the one going to be the heir but when he tried to enter Tokyo Disneyland with a fake passport that dream was smashed!


Is this the same half-brother Kim Jong-un allegedly ordered an assassination attempt on?


I'm not sure...that's terrible! Do you think that President Trump and Kim Jong Un will be as good of friends as Kim was with Dennis Rodman?


I don't think so, because he really loves the NBA in general, and seems to be very tight with Rodman.  It might help if Trump was a better basketball player!  LOL


I think you're right. The relationship between Kim Jong Un and Trump is more like a business partner relationship. I wonder if Putin will ever join them in a summit?


That would be something to see.  I would think that would lead to some sort of award from the UN.  I mean if EVE-online can get an award from the UN for creativity and e-content, surely a Trump/Kim/Putin summit would!


It's interesting that Kim has certain things that scare him even though he is a powerful leader. In example, he cuts his own hair because he's got a fear of barbers. Strange!


I guess being a dictator like that causes one to be very paranoid.  Nobody knows his age either, which is odd as well.


Did you see that Kim allowed North Korea to participate in the Olympics in the 2018 Pyeongchang games?


I remember that.  It's a big move and led to the first inter-Korean summit since 1953 when the Korean War effectively ended.


I think Kim might be trying to make some improvement for his people. I heard he is having some theme parks renovated. Perhaps it's only a try to get more money from tourism, though.


It could be.  Considering both Kim Jong-un and his father's love of film, I'm surprised they haven't invested more on their own film industry today.


I usually don't see news about Kim Jong Un on the television. It's usually from the internet. I wonder if he's ordered the news to not mention him much?


I don't know if I would put anything past them based on everything we have come to learn about him and his regime!


I've seen some pretty funny parodies of Kim Jong Un on TV before. I think SNL has done a few. I love their weekend update skit...it's the longest running one! I think I'll go watch some SNL now, ttyl!


Hugh Laurie is a doctor of sorts it's really funny he got paid 700,000 an episode.


Holy cow! That's a lot of money! I do like dramas though. I know the term soap opera originated from such dramas being typically sponsored by soap manufacturers in the past.


Oh ok, Jim carry however refuses to do drama anymore.


Seriously? Why is he refusing to do drama?


He stated that it goes against his belief system and doesn't project positivity.


Somehow I'm not surprised. He seems to have gotten weird.  Not every actor does great I guess. I like that Patrick Stewart teaches master classes for drama students in the UK.


Yeah Professor X is pretty cool or Captain Picard from star trek.


Oh yeak, although Star Trek used to really scare me as a kid.


Sorry to hear that but i can understand, Stephen King was scared of Bambi. Do you like animals?


I do like animals. Why was SK afraid of Bambi, do you know?


He said it was his first experience with a horror film. I don't get it either. There are 20 Quintillion individual animal species.


Wow! That is a lot of animals! Did you know that animals have dominant "paw" or side, just like humans?


No i did not. Apparently domesticated animals develop a white spot on their foreheads.


Oh that is weird. Now I'm going to have to look and see if my dog has one.


Right, lol! You know Germany was the first country to give animals constitutional rights?


Oh, that's interesting. I wonder what their rights are? I know in Switzerland there's a lawyer who represents animals in court.


Sounds like a circus. Apparently hiccups are a holdover from when we were land animals and birds.....


Oh, that is really weird. Now you know what I'm going to think of every time I hiccup!


Yeah how ridiculous the thought that you came from a bird or monkey, lol. Just kidding. Theres a sound frequency that causes fear in humans.


Yeah, I bet there is. Animals from geographically distant areas often speak different languages or dialects.


Well almost all animals can synthesis their own vitamin C but we can not.


I guess that's good since they can't just take a vitamin. It was good talking today. Thanks! I learned a lot.


What do you think about Christine Woods? She writes children's books but I've never read any of her work


I don't know - I have no opinion. What do you think about her?  I know that she is a writer living Maine.  Is she a children book writer?


Yes they were children's books that apparently have a political slant. One of them involves a duck that does not want to"lay eggs All Day"I'm ok with it but I would probably not give the books to my kids I would rather that they read green eggs and ham and dr. Seuss books


I agree with you.  Dr Seuss books are fun.  Woods was upset because the writers of the books that she criticized are women.


Well that is interesting. But I have prefer to avoid drama with her because it sounds like there is a lot of drama, do you ever watch any drama movies or television shows


Yes, I do.  Did you watch House?  It was one of my favorites then.


Yes I love house! I love that Hugh Laurie is perfect for the role and I think that he really deserves his $700,000 per episode


It was a lot of money then and it is still a lot of money now.


Yep absolutely, what do you think about Jim Carrey though? He says he will never make another dramatic movie again because it does not promote positivity


No wonder I have not seen his work lately.  I thought he was just retired and it had nothing to do with his beliefs.


No it was definitely with his beliefs, what do you think about Michael Caine now? He's not retired but he only started to act in order to chase girls LOL


It was funny, wasn't it?  Maybe he did not even realize that he could become a very good actor.


No I don't think so. I also like the actor Jon Hamm Have you ever seen the show Mad Men?


No, I have not.  Please tell me about it.  Apparently, Ellie Kemper (Erin from the Office) was one of his high school students in drama.


Used to be a High School Drama teacher actually, and you're right one of his students was a future member of the TV show The Office


I did not know that there is a website where you can listen to many episodes of classic radio dramas for free.  Probably you are aware of it since you were a drama teacher.


Yes I heard about that but he never actually investigated yet LOL normally you get what you pay for and so if those are free they're probably not very good in my opinion


Probably they are okay but you have to hear a lot of ads.


Yeah I could see that. On a different topic so what kind of animals do you like? I'm personally a dog person


I'm a dog person.  But when my children were small, we had two cats and two dogs.


That's cool. What kind of dogs were they? Apparently there are about 1.5 million living species at the moment even though most of those are insects


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


I have no clue,  but I wouldnt mind having gills if it meant I could swim better and faster lol


Would be different!  Animals hear well, but did you know that there is a sound frequency that causes fear in humans?  I wonder if it causes fear in my family member who is worried about certain sounds.


Yeah i did know.  I wonder where they use it though,  scary movies,  scary theme parks,  thats so weird!  Maybe your family member should find out what this sound is.


Yes, interesting.  Most plants and animals synthesize vitamin c but humans whose gene is defective.  I didn't know that.


Yeah thats kinda weird,  just another daily vitamin we have to take lol Humans may have lost their body hair as recently as 240,000 years ago


Wonder where the body hair went?  Humans use tools more than any species and only we can build fires


Probably just fell off lol maybe the enviornment change and our bodies adapted.


Could be .  Did you see that humans are adapted for persistence hunting and we are among the best distance runners among all running animals.  Wish I knew that before, would have boosted my gym visits and ambition.


Morning. How good is the Internet? So good that it can cause real addiction measurable in the brain!


I do! Tupac was my all time favorite, how about you?


He is one of my favorites as well I also like Eminem and many others.


Can you believe Eminem wanted to be a comic book artist before rapping?


He did? good thing he decided to rap, McDonals paid $5 to every rapper that reverenced big macs in their songs.


Oh Really? I didn't know that! I would be saying that every other word haha. I like how there was a michigan judge who delivered he ruling to Eminem in a form of rap.


That is so funny and so unprofessional as well, there is a deaf rapper also have you heard of him before?


His name is Signmark and he uses sing language to rap, that would be interesting to watch.


I wonder if he has a translator that says the words for him when he does that? Do you like to watch Pixar films?


I do like them yeah, The Penguins of Madagascar is a Pixar film right?


Yes they are. Pixar studio has a secret room that is visited often by celebrities. I wonder what is in it?


They do? it must be a really cool room, I wonder if John Cena ever got to see that room do you know who he is?


I do! He's a famous wrestler. He probably saw it but nobody could see him haha.


Yeah he is a famous wrestler but he also has a great heard, he granted over 400 wishes in the make a wish foundation.


That is so cool that he does that! More people need to get on board with that!


I agree, help others in need. Celebrities earn a lot of money so they have the resources to help others.


They really do! Anyways, nice chatting with you!


Even YouTube celebrities earn a lot of money, Jenna Marble is one of them and it was nice chatting I agree, have a nice day bye.


The Fyre Festival was a complete fraud.  It is a shame how they duped people and took their money


Agreed. I'm so glad Billy McFarland who was the festival organizer was sentenced to six years in prison for wire fraud. He deserves it!


He tried to get off by blaming his bipolar disorder, but they acknowledged that struggling with your mental health is not an excuse for manipulating people


Agreed. Even after he repeatedly apologized, I'm so glad the court didn't show leniency. Every criminal is sorry when they get caught, you know?


He did end up lucking out a bit.  He was facing up to 20 years in prison.  I think he should be thankful he did not get the max


Indeed he should be very thankful! Well speaking of music festivals, are you a fan of rap, by chance? These Korean rappers have invented this new freestyle rap called "compliment battle" I want to check out. I bet it's interesting!


I have gained a new appreciation for rap over the last few years.I bet the Korean rap is fun to listen to.  They have unique music in Korea


Indeed. Are you also familiar with Tupac Shakur? His music is actually in the library of Congress of cultural significance. That's pretty cool!


He is probably one of the most influential artists of the last 20 or 30 years.  It is amazing how popular he still is over 20 years after his "death".


Indeed! It's such a shame he died so soon! I tell you something else that would have been a shame is if Eminem pursued his dream of becoming a comic book artist instead of rap. The world would have never known who he was and wouldn't have known his musical talent either!


Yes, I imagine he is much more talented in music than he is in art.  He made a good choice


Agreed. Are you also familiar with Busta Rhymes? He actually voiced the Reptar wagon in the Rugrats movie. I kind of want to go back and watch it just to see if I recognize his voice. Ha!


HIs voice really stands out, so I am surprised I never noticed it before.


I'm surprised as well. What else surprises me is there was a judge in Michigan who delivered her ruling in a rap form while trying a suit filed against Eminem. I bet that was hialrious. Nice to know some judges have a sense of humor!


That is pretty funny.  I wonder how old Marshall Mathers took that.


I bet he had a good laugh. I'd imagine that judge is a celebrity like Judge Judy now. Speaking of Judy, can you believe she's the highest paid celebrity behind LeBron, making $123k per episode? That is unbelievable!


Way to go Judy.  She has been at it for years.  She can buy a lot of black robes and gavels


Indeed she can! Ha! I wonder if she's ever visited Pixar's secret room that celebrities often visit? A room average Joe's like me will never see!


I bet that Pixar has a lot of cool stuff in that room


I bet they do! I wonder if they allow government officials in there? Speaking of the government, I find it ironic that Wikileaks published the government's plans to eradicate Wikileaks.


Why?  The publish anything that they can get their hands on!  Pleasure talking with you today.  Have a good day


Do you think Trump should by buddying up to Kim Jong-un


No. I don't think he's trustworthy. Kim jong un has started to edit pictures to depict a different history just as previous communist leaders mao and stalin did.


He does have a degree in Physics and Military Studies


That's interesting. I read that no one knows how old he is. Bizarre!


I think him ordering the killing of his own family members is as cold as you can get.


Yes! And Trump decided to meet with him, the first meeting between a US President and North Korean leader.


I don't think Kim has any respect for him whatsoever. He had his half brother killed and uncle too so I doubt he has any admiration for Trump


I am sure there were many ulterior motives. I didn't realize he is the first North Korean leader to have been born after the country's founding


Yep and he is the first one to allow his country's participation in the olympics too but under a agreement with the South


Interesting! He and Trump meeting was to discuss the North Korean nuclear program.


I don't think he's going to give up his nuclear program. I think he'll use it as leverage for negotiations to get what he wants


I didn't realize he is called "The Marshall"


The satire group The Onion voted him Sexiest Man Alive. Haha


There have been many famous meetings of international heads of state, which were have been called summits since 1955.


Trump is scheduled to have another Summit with Kim early next year


Oh boy! Spain is the only country that has been a permanent guest at every g20 summit.


Maybe they should think of uninviting Kim, Trump and Putin...lol


That would be interesting! During the brisbane g20 summit, when putin shook the canadian prime minister's hand, the latter said "i guess i'll shake your hand, but i have only one thing to say to you. you need to get out of ukraine."


It was uncomfortable to watch Putin give MBS that handshake at the last Summit


I didn't watch, thankfully! Nice chatting with you. Take care!


Fine.  Have you heard of OAR a Russian band?


No, just now I have... I guess they were founded in 1994 and grew to 5.  They have spiked on Spotify.


I guess they havent come out with anything good recently since most of their success was in the mid 2000s.


Yeah, I don't even know what genre they are.  I know a song named "Shattered" by the Rolling Stones but not OAR.


I'm not.  I respect the sport.  I do know that Canada is the only country with 2 national sports: lacrosse and ice hockey


Funny how in1993 a hockey player was traded for $1 and won 4 Stanley cups!


I guess it made him mad and motivated!  Wow, an average pro hockey player loses 8 pounds in a game! Is it all the padding and stuff?


Do you know why NY area code is 212?  It's easier to dial on a rotary phone.


Good to know! Funny how it is impossible to separate 2 phonebooks that have their pages overlapped together.


Who would take the time to do that?  It's scary that an iPhone has more computing power than the US ICBM nuclear deterrent?!


That is impressive. Unicef will donate a day of clean water to a child in need for every minute you do not use your cell. Guess no children are getting water! haha


That's good of them.  Funny, cables for phones and internet that cross the ocean are rather small.  Only 2.7 inches in diameter.  Must be fiber-optic...


Probably! Did you know in 2013 when google went down for 5 minutes it took 40% of web traffic with it?


I don't remember that.  I do know that Google Maps calculates traffic by how fast android devices are moving.  Scary that they are tapping into everybody...


It takes more computing power for one Google search that it did for the 1st Apollo moon mission.  Wow!


Amazing. Google once used goats to mow lawns instead of people. Wonder how that worked.


Funny how Google handles maps with disputed borders.  One gets the favored version depending on where the browser request came from.  Thanks for the chat!


Isn't crazy the the Patriots won the 6th time???


Hey there do you ever watch baseball on TV or the World Series


hello,  yes I watch it sometimes.  Usually only if the Giants are playing.


I see I like the Yankees myself haha. Did you know that baseball managers could actually play for their team if they had to


I know right,  lets hope they never have to though,  i doubt they are in shape to play .


That's a good point haha. Do you know what they call kickball in Canada?


It just does not sound as cool as kickball haha, did you know that baseball is super popular with the Japanese


Thats interesting,  do they have a league or professional teams?


Yes they do. But I don't follow Japanese baseball so I don't know a whole lot about it unfortunately. Did you hear about the guy that found $3000000 of baseball cards in his attic. That would be insane


What are your thoughts in the World Series. I guess the World Series began in 1903. the winner is the team who does the best-of-seven games


I do like baseball but I am not an avid follower.


Pretty cool that the Chicago Cubs were the first team to win back-to-back World Series Championships. That's the only reason I like to root for them


yeah that is awesome,  too bad they haven't won since then lol


Yep that's true. Very strange the Women's World Cup head higher television ratings than the entire world series of the United States. But I guess the whole world is watching the World Cup


When it comes to the NBA do you like Reggie Miller?


I dont really know what team he plays for.


Well he's a Hall of Famer. Also apparently he was outshined by his older sister back in high school. Can you imagine a great player like that being bested by his sister LOL


haha does she play professionally,  that seems weird lol


Well she played when they were both in high school apparently. I don't know if she played since then haha.


Hey do you ever watch the World Series? Apparently viewership has been declining over the years


I do watch it.  I'm a baseball fan.  The sport has been declining in popularity for years now.  So that doesn't suprise me.


Speaking of games and sports, what do you think about baseball? I personally think it's incredibly boring


I like it because I played it.  I understand though why people find it boring.  They love it in Japan and a lot of Japanese fans are surprised to discover it's status as America's national pastime.


Yeah I'm curious why the Japanese like it so much, it's also interesting that in Canada they don't have kickball, they call it soccer baseball LOL


lol That's funny!  Baseball managers wear uniforms because they are technically able to play if needed.  That would be interesting to see an 80 year old trying to hit a ball.


Yes I would love to see that! That could be a sport unto itself. what do you think about the guy who found millions of dollars a baseball cards in his attic?


I think he hit the jackpot!  Like winning the lottery.  lol


Oh definitely! I wish my grandfather had baseball cards in my attic that I could find later for Millions LOL he's a lucky guy


Right? LOL  Babe Ruth who was known for home runs was caught stealing to end game 7 of the 1926 world series.  File that away in the "useless knowledge" category. lol


LOL well at least it's interesting knowledge, what do you think about the World Series? Like I said I'm really not a fan of baseball but it is interesting that the last time the Cubs won the World Series the Ottoman Empire was still a thing


Wow.  I also find it intriguing that they were the first team to win back to back titles and have't won since.  lol


Yep I agree that's crazy! I think it's weird to that women's soccer has higher television ratings than the World Series LOL I don't know who watches soccer because I don't


I don't either. lol  Do you watch the NBA?


I watch it sometimes. I really like Michael Jordan because I always had a pair of his Air Jordans as a kid


Nice.  They were banned by the NBA, but Jordan wore them anyways because Nike was willing to pay the fine each game.


Yep that was really smart! Do you think that you would shoot granny style in the NBA? Apparently scientists say it's the best way to shoot the ball


I would try it and tell everyone it is scientifically approved. LOL


LOL well if I made how much Allen Iverson makes, which is $800,000 a year, I would shoot however someone told me was best LOL


That's some good money.  ...and how about the $32 million lump sum payment he will get as part of the big endorsement deal?  cha-ching!


Yeah he's definitely not going to be hurting for money LOL. I think it's interesting that Tim Duncan didn't just go into the NBA immediately, he finished his degree, he probably lost some money unfortunately on that


Good morning!  Do you watch any baseball?


Hi! I love baseball! What about you? I also love kickball aka "soccer baseball" as the Canadians call it. Ha!


I do too.  I didn't know until recently that the whole reason managers wear uniforms is so they can play if needed.  I just thought that they wore them because they are part of the team.


Same here. That makes a lot of sense though but I wonder how good they'd actually be. Ha! I can't believe that the Japanese baseball fans were surprised to learn baseball is America's national pastime!


That is surprising.  There are some good players that come from that country though.


Agreed. I wonder if that guy who found three million dollars worth baseball cards in his grandfather's attic from the 1900s had any Japanese baseball player cards in that collection?


I don' t know. Did they play back then?  Regardless, i wish I could find something like that in my attic.


Same here. I need to go explore some attics. Ha! But can you believe a married couple are the two who scheduled all 2430 MLB games each year for 24 years up until 2005?


Seriously?  Somehow I always pictures a bunch of men in an office doing it.  I wonder how they got the job.


As did I! I think it's kind of sad the Ottoman Empire still existed the last time the Cubs won a series.


Lol!  I know what you mean.  It makes it seem like a really long time ago when you think of it that way.


Speaking of a long time ago, can you believe Babe Ruth got caught stealing to end game 7 of the 1926 series and they were down by one run? I bet fans weren't too happy about that!


I can't believe Babe Ruth ever made a mistake.  Movies and such make him out to be the perfect player.


No kidding! Now a mistake is the color guard who carried the Canadian flag upside down into the stadium at the 93 world series.


That really happened?  That is a glaring mistake.  So do you think having playoffs is a mistake?  Before 1969 they just had the two teams with the best records play in the series.


I guess the playoffs are better since it gives division leaders a chance to prove themselves, ya know? So are you also a fan of the NBA? I didn't know that Air Jordan's were initially banned during their introduction but Jordan wore them anyway because Nike agreed to pay the time each game. That's a great way to market them!


It is a great way.  It makes them seem more rebellious and that really appeals to some people.


Agreed. Since we're on the subject of basketball? Did you know that physicists have proved shooting granny style is the best technique to score points on the line but the players won't do it because it looks stupid?


No I didn't.  It seems funny to picture players using it though when you think about it.  It would definitely change the game.


True. But I guess when you're the highest paid athletes in the world by average annual salary, the last thing you want to do is look stupid in a game!


That's for sure. Especially when you get life long endorsement contracts like Allen Iverson.


Hello there, I am good thank you, how about you?


I'm well, thanks for asking.  Do you like baseball?


I do enjoy baseball, I watched a ton this year due to a major injury and my team did really well!  How about you?


I watch a little when I'm not havingto work.  I always try to watch the World Series, though.


Yeah the world series is usually pretty fun to watch.  Do you know how many baseballs are used in a typical season?


I guess it's as many as 160,000!  Now that is a lot of baseballs!


That really is, I like the Milwaukee Brewers.  Do you have a team that you follow?


Nice!  You had a really good season a few back and we had a good game this year (well not so good for your Cubs!), but it was fun to watch.


Yeah, we were the first team to win back to back World Series, though!


Yeah they were, good call.  Did you know the league once banned a 17 year old pitcher?  Who was female!?


I guess she struck out both Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig in a single season.


Cool!  Although I did jus find out that the managers wear uniforms because technically they are able to play for their teams if the need arises.


I think I have read that before as well, I think it would be so wild to see your manager take an at bat!


Yes, it would.Did you hear about the man that found three million dollars worth of old baseball cards in his grandfather's attic?


Yeah I did, wouldn't that be something.  If I were him, I would sell $2 million, and keep the other cards and let them sit for my grandchildren can find them one day as well.


That's a good idea! Well, it's been fun and fast chatting with you this morning.  I hope you enjoy the rest of your day, friend!


Hi, how are you? Do you like music and TV?


Hi! There was some interesting trivia in the facts I just read.  For instance, it said Daniel Day-Lewis is the only actor have won an Oscar 3 times for Best Actor.  I always thought Tom Hanks had done that too, but maybe not.


I have no idea how many Tom Hanks won, he probably had more nominations.


I think she's interesting, but I'm not really into her music. I wasn't a fan of her husband either - Russell Brand


Oh really? I like some of her songs. They get stuck in my head sometimes.  I agree with you about Russell Brand.


I mean, I guess he's sort of ok considering he didn't claim $22 million int he divorce, but I can't stand his films or comedy.


hahaha. Good point on the divorce money. I don't enjoy his movies either.


I guess my main problem with Katy is that whole "pure gospel singer to sexy pop-star" thing. I don't buy it.


Yeah.  It's a little much, especially with as provocative as some of her songs are.


And her purely sexy appearances on SNL and Sesame Street, lol.


I forgot about Sesame Street. LOL Poor Big Bird. haha


Most definitely.  I still laugh at the thought of the dancing sharks at her halftime show for the Super Bowl.


Ugh, the Super Bowl halftime shows are unwatchable now... Almost as unwatchable as the UK 70's show remake xD


hahaha! Nice segway.  I'm not really surprised that show didn't translate to the UK.


I hadn't ever heard of it til now. It's usually us(the US) that make horrible remakes of UK shows.


Very true.  Although, I was a fan of The Office (US) more so than the British version.  Steve Carrell just cracks me up.


Yeah, that, and Three's Company are the only US remakes of UK tv shows I can think of that did well.


I had no idea Three's Company was a remake.  Now I want to see the British one - maybe I can find that online??


You should be able to. In a million years I couldn't tell you the name of it without googling it though


I'll have to investigate. :) Thanks for chatting with me. Have a great evening!


haha only at parties, did you know that Bruce Lee actually won a cha cha championship? He was a great dancer


I am not surprised, kung-fu is like dancing, with more pain.


haha I like that, ballet dancers go through pain too, a professional can actaully go through 4 pairs of shoes a week


Why nobody has invented something more durable ? 4 a week seems wasteful.


haha I agree with you, do you like Michael Jackson though? He actually patented his extreme leaning device that he uses on stage


That is smart from his part, he would not want to see copycat, it would cheapen his moves.


haha no I agree, did you ever listen to Tupac? hes a hardcore rapper but apparently he did ballet in high school, thats unexpected!


Dancing is an important part of our culture, like horror movies, do you like them ?


yes I like horror movies, do you think that Bambi should be considered a horror movie? Stephen king does hhaa


Maybe, its mother dies in the movies, children don't like to know that. But children don't know anything about horror, the actor that played the kid in the shining did not even know that he was in an horror film. .


haha well thats good he would probably be creeped out, do you know if they used a waterphone in that movie? Its an instrument that makes creepy sounds


do you know a movie where it was used ? I don't watch them, a just a very few of them.


they use it in horror and scifi movies actually, but I don't know which ones exactly


Do you watch a lot of horror movies ? I don't they stress me out, they can burn up to 180 calories. That is half a hamburger, a small one. I would not eat a big one before seeing a horror movie.


haha, well I need to watch more to lose some weight! also I guess you will appreciate abstract art more after watching a horror movie, which is interesting


Why is that ? Maybe because it makes you me alert. I prefer things that relax me, like traveling.


ya it must be, and yes I like to travel I'm traveling 4 hours north tomorrow morning, would you ride a bus that goes 160mph?


If it was on rails, I would not mind. But that is called a train. 160 MPH on public roads is dangerous.


ya that does seem fast, I would be annoyed to travel to japan and try to drive on their highways, they are all apparently toll roads


That is a lot, such for a small country. Imagine that for the US, it would cost 30 000 $.


lol you're right, japan is small and it would cost $300 to travel across the country, who knows what it would cost here!


I love it. Do you know which dance she did when she was auditing for GoT?


It was the chicken and the robot dance, that woman really


WOw that is funny. Did you know that Bruce Lee was a dancer?


He was actually champion in cha cha dance


WOw that is cool. Did you know that Mr. Rogers learned to break dance in one of the episodes?


WOw that is cool. Did you know that babies dance as soon as they hear music?


That is so cute. Dd you know that parrots also dance really well to the music?


Nice. Babies also smile more when they hit the beat


Nice. For parrots they think this is why they are so good at mimicking people


That makes sense. TUpac was a ballet dancer and took part in the nutcracker


That is so cool. Do you like horror movies?


I like some of them, you burn more calories watching them


Oh that is nice. Inception was supposed to be a horror movie originally


WOw that would be different. Do you know which movie Stephen King thinks is the scariest?


I have no idea but I am curious to hear about it


Well he thinks it is Bambi, the cartoon with the deer


Wow I would have never guessed that. ET was also supposed to be a horror movie


I guess people love writing horror movies


Not really. How about you? I would love to try the ballet slippers that make drawings from the dancer's movements.


ah that is a cool idea, did you know that Bruce Lee was actaully a great dancer?


No, I did not kow that. So Michael Jackson was famous for dancing. The first moonwalk was actually performed by tap dancer Bill Bailey in 1955 though.


wow that is cool, and ya Bruce Lee won the Cha Cha championship in the year he performed


Nice! Did you ever watch Mr. Rogers? There was an episode where he learned to break dance.


yes I did watch that show that sounds fun! Have you ever played music around a baby? apparently they will dance to the beat haha


Hmm, not sure if I've ever seen a baby go to the beat though it is cute. Do you know who Emilia Clarke is?


I do, shes in Game of Thrones, I think shes a bad actress though, your thoughts?


I don't know who she is but she did the funky chicken and robot dance at the audition for Daenerys Targaryen.


ah weird, and yup I could see her doing that, did you know a ballet dancer can go through 4 pairs of shoes a week?


Interesting! A dancer from Morocco who could not dance because of an injury decided to turn to photography instead. Do you like photography?


I think it's ok, what about you? Its funny to me that Tupac was like a hardcore rapper but he did ballet in high schoool lol


That is so funny. I would never have guessed. I think photography is important to document places and people. I'm glad people like Yoriyas from Casablanca are documenting their hometowns and events.


that is interesting, and ya did you hear about Stephen King's first horror movie he saw?


No, I have not! Did you know inception was meant to be a horror film?


no but I could see that, the concept is scary, and ya he considers bambi to be his first horror movie he saw haha


That is funny! ET was also supposed to be a horror film.


didn't know that, whats cool is you can burn like 200 cals when watching a horror movie, I need to watch more and lose weight!


The movie scream was supposed to be called scary movie.


ah interesting, a scary movie to me would be to go to Mackinac Island, no cars and full of horses that I'm allergic to haha


Do you like American Idol? Apparently it's back now.


I just heard that! I used to watch it. Do you?


Yeah I watched the first season. It was cancelled because it was supposedly failing, however that is only if it is compared to its peak. It was still pulling in nine million viewers before it was cancelled which is a good amount.


Ryan Seacrest was sad when they ended it. Bet hes happy its back.


Not really though sometimes I find myself singing along. How about you?


Same here. She apparently is the only artist to tie Michael Jacksons record of 5 billboard number 1 singles from 1 album.


She has received 11 grammy nominations and has never won. That is surprising to me.


Right, though she is not my favorite I think she definitely deserves it. I also don't think she deserved to have her marriage ended via text.


That is messed up. I did not know her real name was Katy Hudson.


Interesting. Where did the Perry come from? Was it just made up? I guess her debut album under her real name wasn't successful. I don't think I had even heard of it.


Same. Good question. She actually dated the singer of relient k. I used to listen to them a lot.


Interesting. Was that before or after Russell Brand? At least Russell Brand did not claim the $22 million he was entitled to.


I think it was before. Do you like to watch tv?


Sure. I mostly like Netflix. How about you?


Same here. Did you know Homer Simpson held 188 jobs in the first 400 episodes?


I didn't know that! I really like Bart. There is only one episode where he doesn't appear and isn't mentioned.


That is weird. Maybe he was sick or something!


Yeah, I wonder! Maybe the actress who plays him was sick or maybe they just did it for the kicks.


I was shocked to hear that Eminem had so many awards


I'm not surprised, he has a lot of hits.


Yeah, he has made some good stuff. Did you know most of the deals on shark tank are never enacted?


No I didn't know that they have some pretty interesting people on the show


I've only seen it a few times, but it was good the few times I've seen it.


Have you ever watched the show American Idol, It is back on the air now on ABC


I've seen it. I stopped watching a long time ago though.


Katy Perry is one of the judges now so maybe it will be better


Interesting, has she had a hit recently?


It is reported that she is going to get a nice chunk of money for being on the show


I bet. They have to pay the celebrities a lot. Do you know how much?


WOW! That's a ton of money. I'm in the wrong business. Apparently it has gotten off to a rocky start.


They were worried that because Kelly Clarkson was on the voice that they wouldn't get the ratings


Yeah, was she on American Idol at one point?


yeah she was the winner of the first season


Oh Yeah! I forgot, do you know who else is going to be on other than her and Seacrest, or is that it?


luke bryan and lionel richie but they are not making as much as katy


I didn't even know Lionel Richie was still around. His daughter was on TV with Paris Hilton.


Thats right Nicole. They are paying him $10 Million for the show


Interesting! So she's on and not her father?


he is good. Did you know he went to high school with notorioug big and busta rhymes


Yeah and they used to have rap battles in the lunch room


yeah pretty cool. Did you he pulled the AMerican Gangster album from iTunes?


Yes because he said songs should not be sold one by one


Yeah he compared it to movies where frames are not sold one by one


Yeah. He was also a ghostwriter for the SPace Jam soundtrack


All the time. Do you know why NY area code is 212?


That is because it was a quick number to call on a rotary phone


I do not actually but I hear if they get stuck together it is hard to separate them


Yeah. Did you know UNICEF provides clean water when we do not use the phone?


Nice one. The cables for the phones are in the bottom of the sea and only 2.7 inched thick


Wow, how do the animals not get tangled on them?


Some of it, like TUpac and Eminem's music


Nice. Did you know Eminem wanted to be a comic book artist?


Yeah. Do you know what compliment battle is?


That is the rap style they practice in South Korea


Hey there did you hear how George Zimmerman was recently charged with stalking?


Hello. Again? He sure has a problem minding his manners. Was it the private investigator?


Yes it was. The private investigator had contacted him about creating a documentary regarding Trayvon Martin actually


I remember he sent an article to him, along with a threatening message. I don't understand how he is roaming around, free.


Yes I'm not sure how that all worked out. It's kind of exhausting to think about. Zimmerman even made a threat to Jay-Z apparently


I'm not a fan of Jay-Z, but they need to do something with that man. Seriously, tweeting a photo of Trayvon Martin's body is in bad taste, no matter who you are.


I agree with you. It's interesting that Jay-Z's real name is Shawn Corey Carter, I never knew that


LOL. Did you really think his parents named him Jay Z? He also went to school with Busta Rhymes & DMX. I'm sure their parents gave them boring names too.


Yes and don't forget he went to school with a Notorious BIG, that school must have something special in the water LOL


They must. I think its hilarious that he named one of his albums "Kingdom Come", and hada song about Superman.


That is crazy! I'll have to listen to that album, do you like the song Empire State of Mind btw?


I've never heard it. I'm more of a Snoop Dogg fan. I love his duet with Katy Perry, California Gurls.


See I like Empire State of Mind, it was written by Jay-Z who collaborated with Alicia Keys, I like them more but that's just me haha


My favorite is actually Tupac. I think it's awesome that his music is in the Library of Congress.


Yes you're right, they said that his work had"cultural significance" what do you think about Eminem by the way


I didn't like him, until five years ago. Did his voice change, like Elton John's did?


I'm not sure did it change? I just know that when he was a kid his favorite superhero with Spider-Man, I definitely would not have guessed that


That is odd. I would have thought Captain America. Have you heard the Korean style of rap called Compliment Battle?


I have heard of that. I like how it is more positive than the other types of rapping that can go on. Have you seen the 1998 Rugrats movie by the way?


A very long time ago. Didn't one of the rappers voice the dino?


Haha yes Busta Rhymes did the voice for Reptar, which is the dinosaur in that movie


How's it going? Do you listen to rap? I listen to Jay-z sometimes, I really like The Blueprint released in 2001


I think Jay-Z  is a great performer, his had contributioins with other great artists like Bustha Rhymes and also with Linking Park


Yea, it's interesting that Jay z, dmx, busta rhymes, and notorious big went to the same high school


I heard they used to have rap battles back then, a lot of talent in that school,


Yea, I would love to listen to rap battles between Jay z, big, dmx, and Busta Rhymes, it's a shame they haven't released a song together


Maybe they will someday, that would be an interesting colaboration, Jay Z pulled one of his albums from Itunes


Yea I remember he didn't put american gangster on itunes, I wonder how much money he lost from that decision


I bet he lost a lot of moeny because of that, Tupac was another great rapper


Yea, he's my favorite rapper, glad to see his music is in the library of congress


Its part of american culture now!  Busta Rhymes is also really skilled,


Yea Busta Rhymes is very talented, he even did the voice of the reptar wagon in the Rugrats movie


That was a great movie! I used to love the Rugrats, great show, I watched them as a kid


I like Rugrats too, I guess a lot of rappers have unique interests, like Eminem, he wanted to become a comic book artist as a kid


He did? tha would have been funny to watch lol


Yea Eminem is a huge comic book fan, his favorite hero is Spider-man


Spiderman is a great hero so that makes sense, seems like you know a lot about Eminem? are you a fan of his music?


Some of his earlier stuff, funny thing is in 2001 a judge delivered her ruling in a rap in a suit filed against Eminem


That seems unprofessional lol, did you know that korean rappers invented a new style? seems kind of lame


Yea, compliment battle, I'm glad I don't know Korean lol


I would like to understand Korean just to make fun of that lol, compliment battles, people just dont know what to make up these days


lol, well I got to go. Nice talking with you.


Hey did you know that no woman has ever been nominated for the Academy Awards for best cinematography?


I am good thank you. I love TV and movies. One of my favorite genres is drama. Do you enjoy drama?


I enjoy drama but I also like the suspense that involves drama movies. Do you know that no women have never been nominated for best cinematography for an academy award?


I did not but that's pretty upsetting. I'm sure there are many talented female cinematographers.


I am with you I can believe that now a days the society still have this kind of bias, it is very disturbing.


It is. You would have thought we had come further than we have. Are you familiar with Hugh Laurie?


I have heard that he is a very well paid actor. That he gets paid a very large a mount of money per episodes, sometimes I think that they loose the respect for money on cases like this


Yes he was very well paid for House. $700,000 per episode making him the highest paid actor for a TV drama ever.


wow that is very interesting do you like Jim Carey?


I liked his older stuff but I can't remember the last thing he did that I liked.


That is so true. The Mask for me was hilarious but I feel that he kept acting the same way in others movies and lost versatility.


I agree that it got a little tiresome. Then he went to drama and the first several like Eternal Sunshine were very good but then he just seemed a bit pretentious.


That is true, are you interested on environmental issues? Do you know that 80 percent of natural forest have been already destroyed?


I am very interested. I did not know that. I find that to be very sad. Trees are a renewable resource so we should really make sure we are planting more to make up for some of that.


So true we all need to be conscious about our actions, by the end of the 21st century the Earth will be helium-free, that means no more pretty balloons.


I had heard that we were getting low on that gas. It's so strange. Did you also know that a day was only 5.5 hours long when the Earth was first formed?


to be honest I always thought that it was a man made gas. It is very surprising how humans are able to figure out all of this things without being there or even exist


I know it's a natural gas. It's on the periodic table. I wonder if they will have to remove it when it's gone?


probably the will remove it, you know that an actual year last 365.26days?


I had no idea that we rounded down. Are leap years somehow making up for that?


I didn't think about that but I am pretty sure that maybe that is the main reason for those leap years.


It would be an interesting thing to look into to. It was very nice chatting with you. You gave me a lot to think about. Have a nice day.


Sure, when I have the chance. How about you?


I love it, One of my favorite actor is Jim Carrey, he used to perform dram but not anymore!


I think he's great in comedies. Not sure if I remember any of his dramas.


I remember Truman show, it was great but he wants to project pure positivity and he is good at that


Oh, true. I did watch that. I prefer to watch comedies over drama though I did used to like to watch House.


Me too. Did you know how much doe Hugh Laurie gets paid per episode?


I heard it is $700000 per episode, making him the highest paid actor ever in tv drama.


That is a lot. Did you know the motivation for Michael cane to go to drama class?


He wanted to be in class with the prettiest girls. Well, guess it worked out for him!


He is a cinematographer that never won an academy award but was nominated 13 times!


That seems like it would be painful! Gavin free is a cinematographer who is best known for his work on YouTube but also worked on a lot of slow motion cinematography


So much talent around, did you know no woman has even been nominated for best cinematography ever?


Wow. It's the only oscar category that hasn't had a female contender. I wonder why.


Did you know the movie spartacus had a cinematographer but staley kubrik pretty much did all the job by taking the camera from the cinematographer


Haha, I wonder why Kubrick kept the cinematographer on. When an academy award was won, it went to the credited cinematographer.


Yes Why hire one ? There was algo a great Chinese cinematographer who had a hard time because of racism . Did you know about him?


No, I did not know about that. Turns out his mixed race marriage was illegal till it was legalized in 1948.


Not fair but good for him that he persisted! Well great chat, have a good one!


Yes I loved it, Laurie made $700 000 per episode in it


That is a lot of money but it was a good show after all


Yes I do. DO you know why he does not do drama anymore?


Yes because they do not project positivity, he is right


Sometimes, there is a free website for them on the net


Nice. Do you know why Michael Caine became an actor?


He was chasing the girls and they were in drama class. Do you know who pioneered the use of wide-angle lenses?


Yes that was James WOng who was married illegally to a woman until 1948 due to racism


That is so sad, glad that part of the history is over now


Yes me too. Did you know in the Spartacus movie, Kubrick was the cinematographer?


Yes he had a cinemaographer but was not happy with him so did it himself


Yes and then the other guy got the award when they won for best cinematography


Yeah . No woman has been nominated so far for an Oscar on cinematography


Yeah too bad. Roger Deakins has been nominated 13 times to far and has never won


I know some stuff. We have already destroyed 80% of the forests on earth


Yeah too bad. When earth was formed the day was only 5.5 hours long


Wow that is so short. And we will be helium free by the end of the century


I'm doing pretty good. Did you know video games were initially called cathode ray tube amusement devices and were used by the military?


Yes I have heard that before. They have come a long way.


Yes they have. Stephen Fry narrated the little big planet, hitchhikers guide to the galaxy, and Harry Potter for their video games.


Its amazing how many hours people spend every week on video games


For sure. Tom Hanks brother does Woody's voice in the Toy Story video game and also on the merchandise that is voice activated.


Thats surprising I thought it was Tom Hanks himself.


That's what I thought too. I guess he only does the movie.


Also surprising that Ringo, Alec baldwin and George Carlin narrated thomas the tank for a number of episodes


That's pretty cool. My son loves Thomas. Did you know it's illegal for kids under 16 in South Korea to play video games past midnight?


I had heard that somewhere. Strange stuff


Very strange law. It has been calculated that we play three billion hours of video games a week as a planet.


That's crazy. That industry must be making a fortune


I bet they are. The US Department of Defense used 1760 playstation 3's to build a supercomputer
