No but I have access to one for my daily K9 fix.  Did you know dogs drink with the underside of their tongue?


I didn't. I know they have 12 blood types though! Seems like a lot.


Yep.  Some dogs in Moscow can use the subway.  I wonder if I could do that there?


Use the subway, sure! Google prefers dog to cats and has state so in their code of conduct.


Interesting. Do you watch the Simpsons?  Poor Homer has had 188 jobs in the 1st 400 episodes!


I do love that show. That seems like a lot of jobs! There's only one episode where bart is not in.


Wow. There is only one Shakespeare play that has not been adapted to film or TV.  That's a measure of success.


I know. I had no idea. dogs are not color blind. I thought they were!


Me too.  Did you know it's illegal to warm up your car in Ohio?


I like south park and family guy, also the office. How about you


I like The Simpsons, such a great show, Bart is my favorite


for sure, I heard there is one episode he wasn't in throughout the whole series, have you heard that?


I have heard of that episode, its pretty rare, he is not mentioned either looks like the writers wanted to punish Bart Simpson.


lol that is a good way to put it. Did you hear what the Simpsons crew did to south park's crew?


No I didnt? what happened with those crews?


The simpsons crew sent the south park crew flowers as a thank you for defending them against family guy. Great episode by south park for sure!


I bet! I didnt catch that one, did you ever watch that 70s show?


I used to love that show, it started so many careers, did you like it?


I liked it yeah, fun show to watch so popular there was a remake in the UK


I heard about that now, I don't think that one did so well. Maybe only lasted 10 episdoes?


Yeah only 10 episodes and then it got cancelled I guess some remakes are actually really bad, that one is a perfect example


yikes, you're right. I think the humor style between the UK and the USA are different. I think of the Office in that way


I guess it is, so do you listen to the radio anymore?


I love the radio, it is how I survive my commute to work, you?


I listen to the radio every day on my way to work as well,  cool how soldiers make radios back in WWII


I heard about that, weren't they called foxhole radios? I wonder how they worked


Yeah foxholes, and I bet they served they purpose and also that they saved lives during war time


I am sure they did. It was so nice chatting with you, enjoy your night!


I watch a lot of TV.  Color TV.  Dialing for dollars is searching for me.  I wait for delivery each day until 3.


Hopefully next week is your week!  I love cartoons, they are probably my favorite!


My friends all drive porsches, I must make amends.  I too like cartoons.  It is funny to think that Cartoons and religious programming are about equal.


Really?  I didnt realize religious programming had that many viewers.


Crowd drawing evangelist Billy Graham would crusade.  It was popular, but I have no numbers.


I guess Billy Graham and company do draw big crowds, they have huge followings across the world.


Billy seemed to be a moderate in the crowds.  He said, "We are a secular country by our constitution." The man deserves some recognition for these words.


He really does, that is a hard thing for people to realize and admit.


It is a controversial topic that gets many people over excited. I like to listen to the radio.  Did you see that Janis Joplin song lyrics were being used?


No, I must have missed that.  Tell me more.


Janice wants the lord to buy her a Mercedes Benz. Popular song that pokes fun at some televangelists.  So, the song covers Billy, radio and TV.


Ahh.  I missed that one.  I guess I dont listen to as much radio as I used to.


Radio waves are received by a tuning antenna.  A radio converts  into a usable form.  Right now, the radio waves are all around us.


They are, I heard that you can even hear storms on Jupiter on certain AM stations.


It is interesting that Canadian law says 40% of all content must be Canadian.  They have so many country and western singers by law.


But there is always Drake, and Justin Bieber.


True.  I think Bieber is kind of like a religion for teen girls.  So, what do you like to watch on TV?


I like cartoons or the food network.  You?


I do enjoy cartoons.  Food network would be trouble for me.  The best thing is Thomas the Tank engine.


Yes.  Ringo was very relaxing.  I am not sure I have heard an episode narrated by George Carlin.  They might be good, but I think of him as up, energetic, wild.


I think wild would be a good description.   Ive got to get going, have a great day!


Right, avoid the seven words you can not say on TV. Good day.


Hello. Do you like TV? I don't watch it as much anymore because I'm tired of watching commercials. Too much mass advertisement.


I agree with you on that one! I did watch the Simpsons and South Park back then.


Yes me too both great shows. There is only one episode of The Simpsons where Bart neither appears nor is mention. But I don't think I've seen it.


I wonder if you don't even notice it watching it in real time because you get so into the show?


Maybe so. Have you ever watched pokemon? There are over 750 episodes.


I used to as a kid back in the day. There were only like 150 pokemon at that time haha. That is like 50 episodes a year for 16 years straight!


Yes now there are so many! It was a great thing as a kid. Do you like drama? The term Drama is Greek in origin and means action.


I do like them. I can't believe how much Hugh Laurie made on House!


Yes he's the highest paid actor ever for TV drama earning $700,000 per episode. I think he deserves it.


That's a nice paycheck! I wonder how he got into acting? Was it like Michael Caine?


Yes I wonder as well. I think it's funny Michael Caine when into acting for the girls!


I would too if there were cute girls in my drama class lol! I wish I would have taken Jon Hamm's drama class though!


Yeah me too. He's one of my favorite actors. Ellie Kemper was lucky to have him as a teacher.


I agree! She's had some success for sure! Have you ever listened to any radio dramas?


Definitely. In the past I believe I have but not so much anymore. If I did like radio dramas I would definitely use that website that has thousands of episodes for free.


Me too! Free is best! Do you know some of the celebrities that voiced Thomas the Tank Engine?


Free is always best. Yeah I do know some of those celebrities. I think I would most like to hear the narration by Alec Baldwin because he is one of my favorite actors.


Me too! I think it's cool they do that! Have you ever seen that 70's show?


Yes I used to love that 70s show. Ashton Kutcher was one of my favorite characters. I have never seen the UK version days like these however.


I've never heard it either, but maybe because it lasted only 10 episodes in the UK!


True I guess it's not even worth seeing. They should not have remade it verbatim they should've switched up little bit. Well I had fun talking with you today. Hope you have a good one.


I agree! I had a nice time chatting too, have a great day!


I watch a little bit of television, what about you?


I watch TV, I like cartoons for adults like South Park.


South Park is pretty good and funny. I haven't watched it in a long time. Did you know there are over 750 episodes of pokemon?


That is a lot, are they good ? I was too old when it aired to appreciate it for what they are, a kids show.


I never really watched Pokemon. I'm too old for that too. Did you know there is only one episode of the Simpsons in which Bart is not in or mentioned?


I have watched a lot of their episodes, yet I don't remember that one, it must a been a recent one, I have stopped watching the show a few years ago.


I don't remember that one either. Do you like cars?


I don't own one, but I like cars, they are like horses for the modern era.


Yes they are lol. The trunk of a car used to be called that because it was actually a wooden trunk.


Cars are an old concept. Yet the names don't change a lot, Benz is the inventor of the modern car, and people still drive Mercedes-Benz.


Yep that's a cool stat. Cadillac was named after a French explorer who founded Detroit.


I think it is a nice homage to the guy, and it is also a classy name. Do you like the brand Cadillac ? I don't think I'll ever have enough money to buy one.


I like some Cadillac's, but will never be able to afford one lol.


I wonder if they sell Cadillac in South Africa, they give the option to add a flame thrower, it is legal there.


LOL that's hilarious! I guess carjacking is a common thing over there. I'd probably want to be armed in some way.


I guess flame throwers are good against carjacking, but they are bad against your car exploding in an accident.


haha exactly! Did you know more than 80 percent of the Earth's natural forests have been destroyed?


That is sad, and frightening at the same time. Trees were on Earth a long time before humans, it could impact us.


I totally agree. I read that when the Earth was first formed, a day was only 5.5 hours long.


It must have been special, so a 10 hour sleep would last two days ?


I guess haha. It was good talking to you!


I have since it was black and white in the 1960's.


Right now, I like Bluebloods and Madam Secretary.  But reality shows like "Shark Tank" are not so real since most "deals" don't really get done.


Oh I havent seen those,  but I hear bluebloods is good.  I dont watch any reality shows.  I am currently watching The Flash and catching up on The Walking Dead.


You have lots of episodes for The Walking Dead.  Now all TVs are at least in color and they have always had sound.


im on season 8 of the walking dead,  I am almost caught up.


I see.  You know that Homer Simpson had 188 jobs in his first 400 episodes.  How many have you had?


lol that is really bad turn over,  he is not a good employee.  i have had about 10 jobs I think.  How about you?


I have had about 15.  It is hard to count when one gets a second title in the same company.  Do you watch Saturday Night Live?


No I dont.  i have seen a few episodes,  funny skits.  Do you watch that show/?


I have watched it for a few years, stopped, started again, stopped, etc.  Their "Weekend Update" news segment started in their first episode and is the longest running skit.


Thats good for them.  That means it is doing really good.


Exactly.  Did you know that the first car was patented in Germany in 1886, making a car over 150 years old?


Wow,  is it still running?  I hear the drive thru was invented in 1975,  that has been a very convenient service!


It sure has!  It was invented for a narrow reason, but now has a very wide market!


did you know that more than 80% of the earths forest has been destroyed?


No. But I can imagine that before Europeans came to the Western Hemisphere, a squirrel could go from coast to coast in the US without ever touching the ground.


The earth is almost 4 times as dense as the sun.  Scientific facts are interesting.  I have learned a lot by reading articles the last couple of weeks.


That is interesting.  Great talking to you!


I love to read!  Im mainly into non fiction!


Me too! I may be a slow reader considering the world record for speed reading is a speed of 4,700 words per minute!


That is ridiculously fast!  I couldnt imagine reading that fast!


It would be nice, I could get so much more done in a day! In the 18th century there was a "moral panic" because of the spread of the reading of novels! Ha. I can't even imagine what other normal or good things they thought were immoral back then!


Or just even not wanting the knowledge to spread.


I've never read Ender's game. I wonder why it's suggested reading for many military organizations, including the USMC.


I did!  It was a great book, but I am not sure why it qualifies as military reading.


Hm, maybe I'll check that one out! Also starship troopers is the first sci-fi novel on the reading lists of three of the five US military branches. Have you read that one?


I havent, but if the military recommends it, it might be a good read.


Yeah, there's another one I may check out. Do you have a car? I don't at this time, but I'm going to need one soon! I am so sick of walking everywhere!


I do, I recently lost function in my right foot due to cancer, so I even got it adapted so I could drive with my left.  It is awesome.


Oh wow! I'm so sorry to hear that! But I had no idea they could adapt a car to a left foot! It's amazing that you can do anything with your left foot! My left foot is like my left hand, useless. Haha


I thought mine would be too, but when your right doesnt fight for control it is easier.  lol


Oh yeah! I can see that now! So, the cadillac was named after a french explorer Antoine De La Mothe Cadillac.


That is interesting, I always thought it was named after someone who invented the car.


Good thing they didn't name the car Mothe, I guess. Haha


True, no one would want one of those.  LOL


Haha! It's legal in south africa to have a flame thrower on your car!


I am glad thats not a thing here, some people have some serious road rage!


Absolutely! Also car jackings here aren't THAT bad! Haha


Did you hear why the drive through was invented?


Because soldiers couldnt get out of their cars in their fatigues.  McDonalds created the first one.


Yay! McDonalds! That ended up working well for me! I prefer drive-thrus! Thank you for the great conversation! :)


I love to read, definitely not a speed reader though


Me neither! I can't believe someone can read 4700 words per minute!


That is crazy I wish I had that reading speed in school.  I would have gotten a lot more done.


You and me both lol. Have you read Ender's game or starship troopers?


Ive read Ender's Game, not Starship troopers though.  Not sure why they are on military reading lists.


Maybe because they defy the odds to beat the enemy? I loved the movie Starship Troopers haha. Do you own a car at all?


But in Ender's game that is not how it ended.  He saved the alien life.


Interesting, I've never seen or read it lol.


It is a good book and movie.  Id recommend it.


I will definitely look into it! Can you believe they put flamethrowers on cars in South Africa!?!


Car Jacking must get pretty bad there.  Id definitely want one if that was that big of an issue.


I agree, can you imagine having them on our cars here in the US? lol that would be crazy!


Road Rage would surely get out of hand, some one steals your parking spot, just torch them.


There would be nothing but burn marks all over parking lots lol. Do you know how Cadillac got its name?


Yeah, from a French explorer, I always thought it was a car makers name like Benz


Same here. I can't believe the car was invented by Benz in 1886. You always associate the car with Ford!


I always did, I just guess Ford was the first to mass produce it.


I'm sure! Do you know there are 1.25 billion cars in the world!


That is sure a lot!  Good thing they invented drive thrus for all those cars.


What would we do without them! Anyways, I had a great chat with you, have an awesome day!


Fires in the streets. Smashed windows. Flipped cars. Light poles toppled by alcohol-fueled crowds. Philadelphia awoke this morning


Its sad to see people destroy their hometown after such a momentous occasion


Why do fans care so intensely about their teams? What is going on in their brains after a win or loss? What circumstances make a riot more likely?


Researchers believe its the effect the mob has on each person that brings out the violence


And when American sports fans riot, it is almost always in celebration of a victory rather than a defeat. Why do fans feel so strongly about their teams? "We're social creatures. We have a need to belong," said Daniel Wann, a psych


The need we have for a sense of belonging can be detrimental when you find yourself in a crowd after a championship win.


And when American sports fans riot, it is almost always in celebration of a victory rather than a defeat. Why do fans feel so strongly about their teams?


Where else are you going to find total strangers hugging all over each other than at a major sports team win


Trying to measure that effect, Hirt conducted a study in the 1990s on college basketball fans


I understand the need and desire to celebrate but not the pole climbing


They think they're anonymous," said Jason Lanter, a psychology professor at Kutztown University who has studied celebratory fan violence for more than a decade.


Are celebrating your teams win in the streets right now?


"For a certain subset of sports fans, witnessing violent sports is not enough to reduce 'such energy to tolerable levels,' and only personally experienced 'aggressive acts'


Did you celebrate the Philly Super Bowl win last year with the crowd?


Football is a family of team sports that involve, to varying degrees, kicking a ball to score a goal. Unqualified


I realize that but do you get caught up in all the excitement of your team winning a championship?


Kareem abdul-jabbar's dominant use of the dunk got the shot banned from college basketball for over a decade


When was the dunk reinstated in college basketball do you know?


Kareem abdul-jabbar's dominant use of the dunk got the shot banned from college basketball for over a decade.


In 39 out of 50 states, the highest paid state employee is either a college football or basketball coach.


Yes all the time. Do you know what a hamburger button is?


that is the three horizontal line menu in the apps


Yeah. Did you know you can get addicted to clicking on the internet?


Yeah I can see that if you spend too much time in it


Yeah. There is a copy of the internet in the library of Alexandria


WOw how do you even save a copy of the internet though


Yeah good point. There is 3g cell service on everest now


WOw that is convenient I guess. Do you ever read the terms when you buy online?


Nope I do not , I guess I am not in the 7% of those who do


I did not but I hear it is the reason why NY area code is 212


Yeah it was the easiest to dial on those large phones


Yeah, how about the phone books, ever used them?


I have not actually but heard they cannot be separated once stuck together


Yeah, I want to see that happen. UNICEF donates clean water when we do not use the phone


I want to know how they do that as it is a great initiative


Yesh exactly Did you know the iPhone has more power than the us icbm deterrent


Wow that is a lot of power, kind of scary


Yeah it is indeed. Do you listen to the radio?


I do actually Did you know in AM you can get Jupiter's storms?


Wow that is impressive I wonder what sounds like


Hello, do you follow politics very much. Did you know FDR vetoed 635 bills as President, Obama just 2 and Trump not a single bill yet.


It sounds like the congress is slowing down and not submitting bills to be signed or vetoed.


Yes, good point. With gridlock there may be a huge difference in bills compared to the depression/New Deal era. Did you follow the Trump Kim Jong Un second summit? That turned out to be "Much Ado About Nothing", Lisa Monaco reports Kim will never give up nukes as they're the safety net to keep in power, thus he's rational for holding on as to them as long as he rules.


I believe that Kim is behaving rationally to some extent.  If he was deposed some how, he would looses his life in short order.  Do nukes really help him hold power though. I do not see that.


Well, you look at Gaddafi being overthrown with Western air-cover and assistance in Libya after he gave up his nuclear program vs. Kim holding onto power and very nervous because he has nukes, I think that what Kim see's in having nukes. I don't really feel confident in the best decisions for the future involving that regime. You wonder what the CIA and FBI and Homeland Security know about North Korea's cyber and other threats to us.


Ah yes, the cyber threat.  It is easy to sell the fear of the unknown.  Perhaps Kim would like some passes to Disney Land in Europe in exchange for the nuke program.


Haha, if you look at the guy, his haircut and suit he looks like a Disneyland Character. Did you see where the President of Zimbabwe was called "President Banana"; maybe a fruit moniker would be more apt for Kim.


I like to think the Zimbabwe presidents first name was Top.  I read somewhere that Kim distrusts barbers and cuts his own hair.  I wonder what weight motor oil he uses.


Funny, yes. I also read he brought all his own food and cooks to cook the food at the aborted last Summit with Trump as he's afraid of being poisoned. He must not sleep well at night fearing Chefs and Barbers. Did you read where two of the three most wealthy Presidents were Washington and Jefferson (JFK being the third). Sound like Plantation Owner was a fairly lucrative position given all the Presidents we've had including the self-described current billionaire.


It must be difficult to adjust for inflation from president washingtons time.  I never learned in school that until 1805 the runner up in a presidential election became the vice president.


Yes, imagine if that law hadn't been changed. We'd have Trump/Hillary as President/VP; that sounds like a nightmare. Did you see where the President's guest house is larger than the White House, had that law still been in effect my suspicion is that where VP Hillary would have based her operations from.


The Trump/Hillary presidency would be more entertaining than what we have now. That would inconceivable. I think Kim finds himself in a no win and is riding the tiger.


Haha, yes, but did you see where the President of Indonesia released 3 pop albums in office, I doubt he was orange but he had to wear some makeup if he took the Presidency Pop Tour on the road.


It speaks to the popularity of the Indonesian president.  If there was an unpopular president who released an album it would do poorly.  He could even get Kanye West and still flop.


I'm unaware of his record sales or popularity of his music in Indonesia or elsewhere, but it is certainly an oddity.  Did you know if you zoom in on the White House on Google maps you see former President Obama?


Renegade is visible?  No, I had no idea.  Obamas secret service code name was renegade.


Yes, odd to me. He seemed like a fairly intelligent soft spoken man, less renegade than scholar or statesman. I wonder if the price of coconuts and coconut oil plunged when he visited India, they actually cut down all the coconut trees surrounding one of his destination in case he would be injured in a falling coconut accident, that would have been freakish.


May I disagree with some things.  A code name that is not in line with who you are is probably a good thing.  44th would be a bad code name.  The coconuts were removed from the tree.


Yes, at for all the birther non-sense he was a legitimate President because his mom was a US Citizen, why didn't they say that on Fox News, I despair.


It makes me wonder.  A citizen is a citizen. Unless your trying to appeal to the voters.  It is just easier to say, yep, born here.


Well, thank you for for the discussion. I didn't know that Jupiter has radio storms so strong that can be picked up by am radio. I'm old enough to have owned and listened to am radio in the 60's and I thought all the static was just a cheap radio, now I see it extraterrestrial.


And to think those radio waves are passing through you.  The waves are lovingly caressing your nostrils, wrapping around your fillings.  Have a good day.


Have you read much about Barack Obama? I didn't realize that he's named after his father


I haven't studied him closely, but I learned recently that his Secret Service Codename was renegade.


I mean, I would use a name that legit too. During his time in office, he only vetoed two bills. Compared to FDR's 635, that's very low


Given the government division, that's really surprising.  Of course, we've come a long way from when the vice-President was always the runner up from the Presidential election.  Maybe if we went back to that system we'd have more bipartisanship.


And possibly a lot less would get done. I wonder whose idea it was for the White House to be smaller than its guest house


Perhaps it was Washington given that he was one of the wealthiest presidents.  He might have not needed a big house given that he knew he'd be returning to his own mansion.


He's not the only one who was wealthy. The whole Kennedy family seems to have had a lot of money for JFK to have been in the top 3 wealthy


Kennedy is a very presidential name.  As was Washington.  Not like Zimbabwe, who had a first president named Banana.


But in their culture, it was presidential enough for him to be elected


Very true.  Much as in our culture, we have elected a Hollywood star twice now.  Course, Indonesia's president actually produces music while in office.


He would write his own campaign music to get people to vote for him. If it's catchy enough, it'll get stuck in their heads


Yep, and maybe make it on the radio.  Everyone can find a way to access the radio, like the soldiers in WWII who made radios out of a razor blade and pencil.


You could probably even find it online. Even the classic radio dramas can be found for free online


Yes, which could come in handy if you're in Canada.  Apparently, Canada requires 40% of the music played to be Canadian.  I'd get pretty tired of Alanis Morisette 40% of the time.


That's not the only Canadian artist. If we though "Call Me Maybe" was overplayed in the US, how much more would it have been played in Canada since she's Canadian?


I didn't realize she was Canadian, too.  Well, any of it would be better than Finland, where they play their weekly news entirely in classical Latin.


It's just one station, but I can't imagine how it's still going. More people must understand Latin than we realize


Yeah, most people have something interesting that we never knew.  Like Teddy Roosevelt, who apparently didn't want to be sworn into office on the Bible.


There was one other who didn't. There are all sorts of weird things, like how Obama could have still been President had he been born in Kenya


Or McCain or Cruz, who were all born outside the US.  Perhaps one day there will be a President who was actually born in Kenya.


I'm not sure how that works, but I guess I'll have to research that more


Hello, yes I have a Ford Fusion. What about you?


I own a cadillac actually. Have you heard what is it named after?


I heard it was named after a French explorer. Heard he founded Detroit too.


Yep his name is Antoine de la mothe cadillac, cadillac rolls off the tongue better lol. I think Ford was founded in Detroit also


Very cool. The trunk of a car was named that because older cars actually had wooden trunks.


wow, didn't know that. I wonder if it was easy to break into trunks back in the day


I bet it was super easy. In South Africa, it's legal to equip a car with a flamethrower.


I heard that, must be a lot of carjackings. Would you equip the fusion with one?


I would love to have a flamethrower haha. What about you?


lol me too, put that sucker on my prius, make it more intimidating lol! I can show it off on Facebook then


Yep, I don't use it as much anymore like I used to, but it is ok. Did you hear myspace turned it down?


I saw they turned it down for $75 million.


Yea, I wonder how myspace is doing. Facebook is worth like 104 billion dollars right now!


I bet they are really kicking themselves in the you know what for passing up on that offer now.


right, I bet really bad lol! Did you ever participate in the burger king promotion?


I did not, but I would have loved to. Would you have?


If you deleted 10 friends you got a free whopper. I wanted to delete like 1000! lol, it was so nice chatting with you!


That's awesome. I would have loved to do that.


Enjoy your day, unadd some friends, lol!


Hi there! How are you tonight? I'm good. I am hanging out watching TV tonight.


Hello,  I am great,  how are you?  thats good,  watching anything good?


Just watching a little bit of it all.I like the Simpsons. I was not crazy about the episode where Bart was not seen or talked about though.


Yeah I used to watch that show,  I dont think I ever seen that episode.  I hear that Homer had like 180 jobs lol


Oh wow! That is a lot! I wonder if he ever worked for the Government?


Doubt it lol Did you know there are like 750 pokemon episodes?


Yes! There are enough to play just about an episode a week for 16 straight years. I have seen many.


Yes, more than I need to see and I've seen a lot. As many kids shows as I've seen, when I was watching I never realized that Ringo Starr narrated Thomas the Tank Engine.


That is interesting.  I think my nephews used to watch that lol


My youngest did. Even George Carlin and Alec Baldwin have narrated the show. I wish I would have realized this when I was watching instead of finding out later.


Do you use phones a lot?  An iphone has more computing power than the entire us nuclear icbm deterrent?


I don't think I'm ever without access to a phone.


Unicef donates a day of water to a child in need for every minute you do not use your phone.


Oh, that is a good idea! It's just amazing that the whole US Nuclear ICBM does not have as much computing power as an I phone.


Yes, I was agreeing with you. Such an awesome piece of technology.


Yeah its kinda scary how much tech is in a phone.


I agree, and to think the diameter of the cables on the ocean floor that carry internet and phone data are only 2.7 inches in diameter.


Its pretty interesting that they just lay on the ocean floor,  I wonder if they are concerned an fish or sea animal might chew through it.


It must work if that's the way it has been set up. Have a good night!


Hey did you hear that new song on the radio today?


What is it called?  Did you know that there is a website that you can listen to thousands of episodes of classic radio drama free?


Closer by Halsey and yeah we have come a long way from soldiers making radios from razorblades and a pencil.


You are right, but that was ingenious!  Jupiter has radio storms really strong and you can hear them on am radio.


Even if you could hear them you'd still have to listen to canadian music in Canada because they require 40% of the music played there to be canadian.


Wow!  Do you go on Facebook?  They had a promotion where if you unfriend 10 people you get a free whopper.


I don't use Facebook too often but that Whopper sure sounds good on a ride home in my car.


Facebook is mostly blue because Zuckerburg is red-green colorblind


Didn't Myspace turn down an offer to buy Facebook back in 2005?


Yes, for $75 million I bet they regret that.


Facebook is weird I heard you can't use the like button over in Germany because it's illegal.


That is very odd.  Iceland even decided to use Facebook to rewrite their constitution. That sounds risky.


Yeah I think I'm going to move to South Africa at least I can put a flame-thrower on my car there!


Wow, sounds impressive!  Did you know that McDonald's added their drive-thru to accomodate soldiers not allowed to leave their cars wearing their fatigues?


Of course I knew that but bet you didn't know the trunk of a car is called that because old cars use to have actual wooden trunks on the back.


How about those Caddy's?  The Cadillac was named after a French explorer Antoine de la mothe and he had founded Detroit!


Caddy's are cool but what about beating 90,000 people in the game Gran Turismo to become a professional race car driver?


I think that would be fun :)  On a tragic note, how sad it was that a girl who recognized gun violence in her neighborhood and wrote about it actually became a victim to it.


Yeah I heard about that she got killed by a stray bullet, it's awful man.


Her mother was so sad, she said that her chest felt like a boulder is smashing down on her heart.  What a wonderful girl her teen must have been.  So sad...


Yeah I will catch you later man going to go put money in the GoFundMe.


Great! Hope you're doing well! Did you hear about Jonathan Bennet ambushing police in Charlotte? That was an intense situation!


I did not hear about that. What happened?


The police were searching for him as he was wanted as a murder suspect. He found the cops one night and ambushed them.  But in the end, after more than a dozen bullets flew, Bennet was fatally shot!


Why would he ambush cops? It seems that he got what he deserved. Had the cops done something to him?


They were hunting him because he murdered his girlfriend in the presence of their 3 year old daughter. So terribly sad. I heard about it over the radio. Do you like listening to the radio?


I don't listen to the radio now much. I used to when I was young. Now i use the Internet. You?


I still enjoy listening to it. I like to break out the old AM radio sometimes to see if I can listen to Jupiter's radio storms. Sometimes they're strong enough to hear from an AM radio.


I wonder if they're really interesting to listen to. Better than talk shows on the radio? Maybe.


They are very interesting indeed! Hey, at least we're not listening to Canadian radio where 40% is required by law to be Canadian music. It's like how would they even know what music is Canadian and what isn't?


I think the criterion is whether at least one of the group members has Canadian citizenship.


True. Either way, the radio is great entertainment. Speaking of entertainment, I remember being entertained by the original Nintendo Entertainment System and the 54 colors it could only display! Ha!


The NES was basic, but it had good games. And plenty of longevity too. That system was around for along time. I bet they sold millions of systems.


Indeed they did. It was truly a great form of entertainment. Mucj better than what Caeser said about the British when he visited in 50bc: They bred chickens for entertainment instead of food. I'll take the original Nintendo over that any day! Ha!


But perhaps chickens have more than 54 colors. LOL. The NES lasted until 2003. That's longer that I expected.


Ha! Agreed! Almost as unexpected as an entertainment executive telling Ronald Reagan one time that he didn't think he had that presidential look. That was an epic fail on that executive's part!


I guess at the time the presidents looked quite different. Maybe they looked like Bill Nye.


And Bill Nye became famous because he won a Steve Martin lookalike contest. How weird? Ha!


He could be made to look presidential perhaps. A Trump lookalike contest?


Maybe so! You never know, right? Heck, maybe someone can even be made to look like the founder of Detroit, French explorer Antoine De La Mothe Cadillac who Cadillac also named their brand after!


Never knew that! Anyway, thanks for the chat! Have a good evening!


Its wild, isn't it? Speaking of Cadillacs and cars, the trunk of your car is actually called a trunk because older cars had wooden trunks on the back of them! Well, I enjoyed chatting with you! Take care!


Are you comfortable talking about politics?


Yes, a discussion on politics is fine with me.


What do you think about the election system?


I think the election system is about as effective as it could possibly be. I sort of wish we could go back to how it was prior to 1805, though.


Do you think the US should make voting mandatory? Attendance is abysmally low


No. But I do think we should go back to the way it was prior to 1805.


The Vice President was elected a lot differently, they were the second highest vote for the Presidential race.


Well I think that is interesting, but I wouldn't want both trump and hillary to be in the highest elected positions of power


Do you know who the richest three American Presidents have been?


Yes, the other two were Jefferson and JFK.


Hmm jefferson I understand, but never thought of jfk that way


Well, here's another fun fact for you -- since 1900, the taller candidate for President has won 3/4 of the time.


I'm sure it does, usually the better looking candidate wins, don't you think? Except for Zimbabwe's first President, that is, President Banana.


Personally I am sad that the only candidates were trump and hillary during the last election. The election for president shouldn't about appearances or who would be less worse


You're correct about voter turnout, by the way. In the last 100 years, the turnout has never surpassed 62.8% of eligible voters. I think the third party tends to empower weaker candidates times, too, though.


It is a shame that a 3rd party has never won in US history, though it has come very close before


I'm curious about elections in Nevada because they alone have a "none of these candidates" option when voting for President.


I wish I had that option, though I wonder what would happen if everyone voted for none of these candidates and it was a tie between reps


Right! Good thing Nevada is the only state that has that on their voting ballots. Well, it's been fun talking to you.


What do you think about the tweet the Russian Embassy posted?


It is kind of fun.  Emoji of a space ship and some photo.  Not serious at all.  Twitter is not meant to be serious.


Yeah I guess Twitter is informal but it can have serious repercussions still.


There are a lot of reasons for a helicopter to be around DC.  The DC police had one up for a possible robbery.  I guess it could be real event taken the wrong way. Serious it is.


It seems a bit too unrealistic to me lol like a Tom Clancy novel.


Yes, like a novel. Did you know that the Russian Foreign Ministry put a april fools joke on the answering machines... Press 3 to request election interference. Thats a good one.


It didnt sound like the Russian foreign ministry is full of surprises,


Oh Russians, always having fun.  Not like in the US where a cat named Hank was running in the Virginia Senate Election.  He got third.


Thats too bad I was cheering for Hank, probably would have done a better job than most politicians.


The cat would have been cool!  It is a odd thing how how we pick elected officials.  Apparently the faster blinking person has lost every presidential election since 1980.


I bet thats a signal our subconcious picks up, you know that the Iphone has more computing power than the us nuclear icbm detterrent all combined!!


I wonder how that can be.  It is no small feat to hit a moving target with a missile.  Let alone a few hundred targets.  I belive the Iphone thing.  There is little correlation between cellphone call quality and the bars of service.


I know I would have thought it required something a lot more powerful than an Iphone and I wonder why is that


I do not know.  Perhaps that rule that says computing power doubles and cost halves very year.  I have a fun piece of trivia about phones.  The dial phone was created because an business thought the operators were routing calls to competitors.


Oh how interesting, I have one for you too, do you know why the area code of New York is 212?


I would guess that the early idea was numbers like 313, 414.  NY was first, so 212.  In 1930's an actress helped invent cell phone wifi and gps.  way to go Hedy Lamarr.


No, the correct answer is because it was the fastest number to dial back when rotary phones were used.


Well, that sounds reasonable.  No idea why or how such things happen.  Kind of like the Hedy bit of trivia.


Yeah I guess its just  because of coincidences of life, kind of like why the guest house of the current president can be bigger then the White House.


The white house has some thick walls.  Ha.  Lincoln was the first president to have a photo taken for inauguration.  Want to know the freaky part?


In that Lincoln photo was John Wilkes Booth.  Always a bad sign when you have three names.


Oh, I bet Lincoln didnt know the guy next to him was going to eventually kill him.


Hey there did you follow the most recent election? What do you think about choosing a president through just a lottery system?


I think it is a terrible idea, but i'm not too political to be honest.


Yep I think it's bad to. Apparently that's how they did stuff in ancient Athens though. It just doesn't seem very smart to me


Interesting, have you ever used a rotary phone?


Yes my grandma used to have one actually. They were very old and very hard to use in my opinion haha. It would take forever to dial a number, do you know the story on why New York's area code is212?


I had one growing up, but I would think 0 woulbe be the fastest?


You would think that, or you would think 111 would be even faster. Do you know about the cable that connects the USA to England by the way?


I'm not sure, just dialing 0 seems pretty quick, right?


Yeah you're right, but I think they wanted the area code to be three numbers so I don't know how you would dial 0 0 0 haha. Do you have an iPhone or an Android by the way


Hilarious! Did you know the president of Indonesia released 3 albums while in office, and one was called "Screw the President?"


No I didn't know that. Are those actually good songs? I'm wondering if he made a lot of money from them? I do know that he's not one of the richest presidents of all time


I made up the last part, but yeah, he made 3 albums!


Haha Oh I thought you had some hidden knowledge LOL. Do you have any knowledge on why Trump is not one of the top three richest Presidents by the way


I think it is because they can't actually verify his wealth, but I could be wrong. He ain't poor, let's put it that way.


Yep I agree with you there. How often do you use a telephone by the way? I know that I use my cell phone all the time, sometimes I check it literally all day long


I agree. Do you have a Android or a iPhone by the way? And iPhone has more power than the entire US nuclear missile deterrent system apparently, Androids are probably similar


Ipone, ....I can believe it. We need to update our ICBM, or is it IMDB? Get it! Hahaha


Haha I like that! What do you think about the cable that connects the USA to Europe? It connects our internet and also our telephone service, it's only 3 in thick! What if a shark eats it LOL


I think it is totally awesome! Without that how could we bail those clowns out of starting another world war? Didn't they start 2 already?  Freaking clowns....so much for european sophistication...


Haha that's a good point. What do you think about UNICEF donating clean water for every minute you don't use your cell phone? I certainly don't use mine 24 hours a day, so I guess I should be doing that to help people


A cell phone but not a landline - how about you


I used to have a landline growing up, it was a rotary. Guess what the fastest number to dial was?


Oh new york area code. I'm glad we have upgraded to cell phones since then


Yeah,me too. Did you know an iphone has more computing power than our Nuke deterrent?


That's pretty crazy. Also crazy that the cables carrying phone/internet data across oceans are only 2.7 inches in diameter and just lay on the ocean floor


I can believe it. As crazy as it sounds, it also sounds pretty freaking cool.


Yeah - I'm surprised it works so well with cables just laying in the ocean


Yeah, well I read about how they laid oil lines across the English Channel for WW2, so I'm not that surprised. In fact, if you trade currencies they call the the USD/GBP exchange rate "The Cable" for that exact reason (there is a cable on the ocean floor).


That's pretty cool - I never knew any of that


Yeah, so if you watch CNBC and they reference the "Cable." that is what they are talking about.


Cool. Unicef will donate a day of clean water to a child for every minute you don't use your cell phone!


Interesting, how do they track that though?


I'm not sure - it isn't something I have looked into. You probably have to register your phone or download an app I would guess.


Yeah, that is what I'm thinking as well.


Have you ever tried to separate 2 phonebooks that have overlapped pages? apparently it is impossible


Me either. I tested it. Well, nice chatting with you!


I actually enjoy the food and tailgating, not the game itself lol


Yeah, I'm not such a big fan either. But I am looking forward to Superbowl.


I feel the commercials aren't even good enough anymore. Did you know Kiss bought into an arena football team and offered a contract to Tim Tebow?


I did not know that. We really love our football. 14 of the world's largest stadiums are belonging to american college football teams.


Yes, we do. One time I heard that the American Flags cost $50k each. The amount of cash invested into The NFL is obscene. Although I do find it amusing Iowa's visitor's locker room is all pink.


and football wasn't always that popular. Bowling stars used to make twice as much as football stars


I wonder what will be popular in the next 50 years in terms of sports and even communication methods. New york's area code is 212 because it was the fastest number to dial on a rotary phone - Kids today don't even know what a rotary phone is!


iphones have completely revolutionized the industry. An iphone has more computing power than the entire us nuclear icbm deterrent.


iPhones are overrated in my opinion, and the ability to actually socialize is being lost.


That is true. For every minute you don't use your cell phone, Unicef will donate a day of clean water to a child in need.


While some people may need to be prompted to put their phones down, it's equally disturbing UNICEF isn't automatically doing what they allegedly do with funds.


That's true. Do you still use the phonebook?


No, I do not. I haven't had a landline since 1996 yet phone books are indeed still delivered. I'll have to test the notion that it's impossible to separate two phonebooks that simply have their pages overlapped together. Maybe there's a YouTube video I can fish up on that?


That seems it would be annoying if there really was a page that you wanted to see.


The phone book was "the" source of info not that long ago.


Yes, I remember using the phone book. Kids these days might wonder why they are necessary.


My kids certainly don't have a clue haha. They are extremely familiar with the ocean though, and I told them the comm cables are 2.7 inches in diameter and just lay on the bottom of the ocean floor. That got more of a reaction than anything.


That is interesting! I wonder what would happen if those lines got destroyed.


That would be incredibly disasterous for many people however, I would relish in having just a few days of silence :) I've started turning my cell phone off the moment I leave work and it's odd to hear people say, "I tried to call you!" only to hear it was over something that was trivial and is old news by the next morning.


I have my notifications off on my applications so I only check them when necessary. I figure if it's important, people will call.


Yes, football is my favorite sport. My favorite team is the new York giants, do you like football?


Did you know that circular huddle was created for a deaf quarterback so the other team could not read the quarterback's hand signals


No I didn't know, that is great information, thanks for sharing. Did you know the quarterback is usually the leader of the offensive team?


Yeah, they are the most important players of the team.  Did you know that Kellan Moor is the only left handed quarterback in the nfl


really? i didn't know about it but thank for letting me know i like to know everything about football. do you know the NFL is one of the four major professional sports league in north America?


Yes, it is one of them, and it is the most favorite, according to the pool


yeah personally it is my favorite. I want to say something about my favorite quarterback, do you know that his first name is Elisha ?


who is it, and which team does he plays for


he is a quarterback from New York giants. he has a brother playing in the NFL too, his name is Peyton manning. Eli and Peyton manning father's was also a quarterback in the nfl he was great player


Ohh, I see. I know him.  I do not know if he is still an active player.  Btw, do you know the quarterback Alex Smith of the  Redskin


yeah he is still active. That's why my favorite team is the new York giants because I'd love to be their quarterback. Yes Alex smith took so many ap test in high schoo,l he entered University as a junior. the quarterback received his bachelor's degree in two years and began working on a master's degree


Alex Smith is a brilliant person.  too bad he suffered a horrible injury recently


yes he is a great example for everyone in this country. do you think the nfl has no written rule against female players; women would in fact be allowed if they met the league's eligibility requirements


I find this fact confusing because football is a violent game, and people assume women need to be protected more, which may or may not be true.


The juniperro Serra high school jv football team recorded a historically bad season in which they failed to win a game or even score touchdown yet they never attempted to start their backup quarterback.


I concur.  Also, there are only 11 minutes of gametime in a nfl game


oh yes i know that. i want to know more about this beautiful game. do you know the circular huddle used in todays american footballs was created by paul d. hubbard, a deaf quarterback. so the other team could not read his hand signals


That fact is very fascinating to know, and it is very effective while the game is playing


yes I know that so true. I really hope you watch a Eli manning game one day, he is a genius


nice chatting with you.  Have a happy holiday


nice chatting with you too. have a great day with your family and have fun watching Monday night football


Hello, are you a fan of American football?


I do not know very much but from the little I do, I enjoy it. I really like learning fun facts like Eli Manning has a genius level IQ.


He's a pretty good QB. They are the leaders of the offensive team and often call plays in huddle.


I know mostly about quarterbacks. I was surprised to find out there is only one left handed quarterback in the NFL.


Really, that's surprising. Did you know the huddle was created by a deaf quarterback so the opposing team couldn't read his hand signals?


That is very interesting. It's good that huddles are so effective. We may not know what is going on inside a huddle but NFL does know every move on the field from tracking chips inside shoulder pads.


That is pretty amazing. I didn't realize that the average nfl game only has 11 minutes of live game play. On TV it feels like they last forever.


It certainly is not the fastest moving game. Neither is baseball. There is a quarterback that is still under control with MLB despite not playing a game since 2011.


I think it is cool that girls can actually play in the nfl as long as they meet league eligibility requirements.


That is great to know. That anyone can be involved. There is even a coach who is a rocket scientist.


True, though the fact that the NO Saints' cheerleaders are forbidden from eating in the same restaurants as nfl players seems a bit odd to me. What's going on in New Orleans?


That is odd. Some things can be improved. Like the fact that only 2 African-American quarterbacks have won the Superbowl. That number seems very low.


Sure does seem low. Going back to Manning, did you know his dad Archie was also a NFL quarterback?


I didn't but I did know of his brother Peyton and there is one other brother Cooper.


And they are/were all QB's? They must love the game.


I found out that Cooper had to quit football before his college career due to spinal stenosis. Who knows how great he could have been.


Wow, they actually changed the speed limits on some roads at Ole Miss campus to honor Archie and Eli.


That is pretty cool. It is funny how they always say after the Super Bowl "I'm going to Disney World." They get paid to say it but I would say it for free because I love it there so much!


How's it going, Do you watch football much? Alex Smith of the Redskins is good at avoiding turnovers


I don't follow football much. Who is Alex Smith?


He is a QB for the washington Redskins who replaced Kirk Cousins when he left


Ok, don't really not the Redskins. I guess this guy is a phenom or something?


He's good but not great, he did have a 3-0 edge in turnovers against the Panthers


The Panthers are the team to beat? Are they good in turnovers?


Not exactly the team but their qb Smith is


Oh, ok. Is Eli Manning any good? Is he famous?


Eli was ok for quite a few seasons but this year he's not having a good year


Oh, well. I guess we all get old. He has been in the league for a while, yes?


Yea like 15 years, he was drafted in 2004


Wow.That's a long career. Maybe he should retire?


Yea it's probably a good time, his brother Peyton retired a couple years ago


Ok. It runs in the family. Probably time to leave if the clock has run down.


Yea Eli has won 2 super bowls and was a first round draft pick, he had a great career


Don't stay past your time. Leave while you're on top. Enjoy the feeling of being a winner.


Yea, he's not playing as good as the fourth round pick of the same draft Philip Rivers currently


Well, that's his cue. Time to take a bow, and exit left.


Yep, maybe Eli should just spend more time with his father Archie Manning now


Good suggestion. Always spend time with family when possible.


Well I got to go, nice chatting with you


Hi, yes I do. Did you know what women can play too?


yeah as long as they meet the requirements. Pretty cool  hope to see that happen soon


Me too. Did you know engineers make more than the players?


Yeah that is pretty neat but I guess it makes sense since they have longer careers


Yeah that is a good point. The average game play is only 11 minutes so I guess they still get paid a lot for that time


Very true, so short and yet we are glued to the tv for so long waiting for the game to end


Haha so true. Did yiu hear about them using tracking chips on the players?


Yeah they are tracking velocity and speed and such. Hope they can use that to make the game safer


I hope so too. that would be neat. Did you hear about that rule for the New Orleans cheerleaders?


That is sexist and needs to go. Why cannot they eat in the same place?


Yeah and the worst part is that they have to leave mid meal if the players walk in


That just does not sound right. Do you know who invented the circular huddle?


Yeah it is a pretty cool story, it was Paul Hubbard who was deaf and invented it so the other team would not be able to tell what he was saying


Yeah it is pretty cool. Do you now who Alex Smith is?


For sure, the guy finished college in two hears and had an amazing football career


That is true, he planned ahead, took many ap tests in high school


And Baker Mayfield considered quitting football to become a competitive player


Well good he stuck with football though. He still claims to be really good at Halo 3


Yeah and that he can beat anyone at U of Oklahoma at it


Yes, talk about self confidence. Maybe he is that good


Yeah! Did you know that his first name is really Elisha? I've never heard a football quarterback with that name!


That's an interesting name.  Never heard of that (or form of that) for a guy.  His dad was in the NFL too right?  Archie I think?


Yes, and he's also got an older brother Peyton Manning who was also a NFL quarterback. Cool family, right?


Yeah! Peyton's considered by many to be one of the greatest passers ever!


Plus, Eli is not only a great quarterback, but I hear he's got an IQ considered to be genius.


Must be interesting at family gatherings huh?  Wonder if they have a sister?  Did you know the NFL has no written rule against female players?  Would've been interesting to see a female Manning in the NFL


That would be great! Their family is so great that a Mississippi campus has speed limits representing Archie and Eli's numbers.


That's funny! Do you know if Archie was also a quarterback?  Can you imagine 3 men in a household, all used to calling the shots?


Yes, all quarterbacks, I can't imagine! lol  Football can have some weird rules. I hear cheerleaders of New Or Saints must leave a restaurant if the football players show up.


That seems pretty rude! Wonder how they enforce that.  I heard the NFL uses tracking chips in players shoulder pads for stats.  Maybe they use one off the field to track them as wel!


That's a lot of tracking. I wonder how much memory it takes just to track all the moves in one football game?


Maybe not so much.  Heard that an average NFL game only has 11 minutes of live gameplay. Actually that's more than I watch of the Super Bowl. Ha!


Yes, it seems like during any NFL game on TV there is much more time spent on commercials than actual game-play. Then they favor players on coverage.


I'm sure the Mannings have gotten a lot of coverage.  I know Peyton's been in the Super Bowl.  Do you know if Eli was as well?


I'm not sure but they're from the south I think. That's where a pretty funny Adam Sandler football movie takes place, too.


Was that the Longest Yard?  Liked the original that starred Burt Reynolds.  Was Adam Sandler the quarterback in the movie?  Vaguely remember him being on the offensive line.


That's a good movie, too. But I was thinking of Waterboy. I think there are quite a few football movies out, but I'm not sure if there is one about the actual NFL?


Ah Waterboy!   That's right. "You can do it!"  There must be a movie about the actual NFL.   The NFL's 17-week regular season should provide enough fodder for a Hollywood script!


Well, the Mannings spent time in California where all the movies area made. Too bad they didn't do a star quarterback football movie that's so bad it's good..like the "Sharknado" movies.


Yes I watch football every week and weekend its on TV.


The Bears is my favorite team of all time!  I have been to several of their matches!


They seem like a decent team. I would have to go for the packers. I love that they play in an outdoor stadium. It takes guts to play in the snow.


I really dislike the Packers!!!!  They are one of the Bears enemies and I cannot support them nor associate with their fans!  Sorry I am a bit of a sore sport when it comes to matches between the Bears and Packers.  I lived close to Chicago growing up and still do and I seek out their matches every year.


That's cool. I am more interested in the statistics and data about football than the actual teams. I want to see some of the info from the chips they put on the players and the balls.


Stats are great to go off of to.  I love stats.  Without them it would be hard to predict which teams will match up with each other prior to the years beginning of Football.  I am a major fan so its nice to stick to the stats.  Do you like Eli Manning?


I don't mind him. He seems like quite the player.


I think he is quite a good player to.  Eli Manning was born to play football!  He and his brother both were made to play.  He did play college football for a bit.  Did you know that?


No I didn't. Wasn't his dad a football player too?


Yes I believe that he was a player also.  Did you know that Eli has a genius IQ???  He must really love playing football.  At least he will always have his IQ to fall back on when he is no longer able to play football.  Though I honestly dont see that happening any time soon.


I could see him being one of the former players that takes his intelligence and turns it into a career with sportscasting or maybe improving the safety of the sport in some way.


Yes that would be great that he could fall back on his intelligence.  Sportscasting is where its at!   Thats where many greats end up at when they finish their football career.  He has a great mind and it will make an even greater announcer some day.  I agree that improving sportscasting and improving safety is a good idea!


There are so many concussion injuries that lead to long term brain damage. I think more could be done for the former players as well as current ones in the ways of medical support. Especially since if they don't get endorsement deals they aren't really bringing in tons of money.


Yes I agree there are far to many concussions in football today.  There has to be a way to prevent them.  I agree more could be done for the former player and current ones to help assist in eliminating concussions.  Do you know much about quarterbacks and what they do?


They are pretty much the leader of the team right? It seems like all the plays center around them.


Yes they are one of the leader of the team.  They are referred to as QB usually.  Generally speaking a Quarterback is the one who lines up behind the offensive line and they throw or run the ball depending on the situation.  Did you know that the QB touches the ball nearly every offensive play???  Thats insane!!!!


Wow I wonder how that reflects in the earnings? You would think with that kind of ball time they would be the highest paid on the team.


I honestly couldn't tell you, as I dont really pay attention to salaries as well as earned income from football matches.  I do disagree that they are tax free.  Thats just crazy how they are like that.  Any who what do you know about American NFL?  Did you know that women could play football if they really wanted to?????


wow I think that would be awesome for the league. I would love to see a woman kicker. Maybe someone from the soccer team could transfer over and do some damage.


Are you comfortable talking about the government?


I don't generally like to talk politics because most people have different beliefs but I can.


How familiar are you with government elected positions?


For US based politics I am very familiar, with international politics only for some countries.


How about domestic, like the position of governor


Yes I am familiar with that position, I have met my governor a handful of times.


Really? It is surprising how the same governor position can either be a ceremonial position or a position of power


Yes, it is a position of power in my state. He oversees important decisions such as preparing our budget.


It is also interesting how if the city is big enough both the mayor and governor may have similar levels of authority


Yes, I live in a major US city, our mayor has a lot of authority and is a major figure in politics as well.


In any case, the position of governor has a interesting history, being very progressive in regards to gender with a female governor before some states even ratified the 19th amendment


My state has not had a female governor ever. I do not remember a female candidate even running recently.


It is a shame that there was only 1 governor to oppose the internment of japanese americans during wwii


Yes, that is a very dark period of our history. I think a lot of governors now are more open to disagreeing with the federal government.


Well it can't beat the 1934 north dakota governor who seceded from the us


That would have been very interesting if that happened! I couldn't imagine that occurring today.


Thankfully north dakota is back being part of the us


I would be interested in reading what brought that idea about. It had to be something major to consider leaving the country.


Who knows. I'm sure the internet will be a invaluable resource to find that out.


I wonder if there has ever been a governor as famous as Arnold Schwarzenegger?


Who knows? But governor or not, Arnold Schwarzenegger is worth respecting. In any case, thanks for chatting.


I usually don't listen to the radio much these days, but I've always been fascinated by how it works and how there's websites that let you listen online


Yeah, so convenient nowadays. Did you know that Jupiter has strong radio waves than can be picked up by an am radio?


I guess that shows how strong radio waves can be. During WWII, soldiers made their own radios only using a pencil and razorblade to pick up signals


So cool. Canadian radios are so particular in that they require that 40% of the music be canadian


That's actually fairly nifty, especially considering how many artists are actually from Canada such as Justin Bieber. There are even radio shows in Finland that are in classical Latin


Very true. Curiously there is a radio in Finland that plays weekly news all in Latin. I am interested to know how many listeners they have with Latin being a dead language.


Much of modern language is rooted in Latin, and there are schools that will teach it. Still, I wonder how many in Finland are familiar with Latin


Exactly, and still very present in the medical system and teachings. There is also a website where you can listen to classic radio dramas for free.


With how much technology has advanced, that's not surprising. Radio waves are used all the time in other things, though not always with sound. I wonder how many waves are emitted from cell phones


Nowadays that must be a crazy number. There are so many people and most of us have cellphones


I wouldn't be surprised if Bluetooth technology uses radio waves to connect various devices, especially since many are used to transmit sound as other radios do


Yeah, they are everywhere now. DO you watch nature related tv shows or documentaries?


Every once in a while. I recently went to a wildlife museum in which there were many illustrations of various fish, including sharks


I find them really cool. Did you know they do not have rib cages?


If that's true, the force of gravity on land would likely crush them beneath their own weight. I've heard that they can be trained to bark similar to a dog


They are so cool. And they are such cool creatures, they rescue sailors just like dolphins


I've also heard that they evolved faster than dinosaurs and even trees. I wonder if they always had several rows of teeth


ANd from what I know their teeth regenerate after some time.


That makes sense. Great Whites also tend to group together in an area of the Pacific Ocean that's been dubbed the White Shark Cafe


Overall, really smart and important creatures.


Do you think that the student's death at University of Oregon was due to poor life choices?


I think college students brains haven't fully developed and so there is more potential for poor life choices like excessive drinking


I agree. They also think that it is "party time" away from their parents. They don't realize the consequences of their actions.


I think colleges should have a class for incoming freshman on the dangers of these choices.  Also they should have a class for all the leaders in the fraternity/sorority groups to teach them about making proper choices


Yes, I think they give a lot of training to students. It's up to the students to make the money. Even students who aren't in fraternities and sororities make poor choices in college.


Oh for sure they do.  That is why I said incoming freshman and leaders in the greeks


Yes. I think that many freshman know to do better, but they choose not to. And, you can't really hold the university accountable for each individual student's behavior.


Oh no I hold the students accountable.  They are ultimately the ones who make the choice


That is true. The students make the choices for their behaviors. I started off as a "good girl" in college. By the time I graduated, I was a partyer. I knew I was making those choices myself. No one made me do it.


So I guess everyone just has to do there part to work together and realize that people will enevitbly make a choice whether it be right or wrong and we have to be there to help in anyway we can


Absolutely, I agree. Everyone has to help students make the right choice, but the students have to be held accountable for those choices. I used to have a personal rule that if I could go out and party the night before, then I could get myself out of bed and go to class.


I thought so. I also wouldn't allow myself to drink on Sundays. I still don't. I said Sunday was a day of rest.


I don't drink at all.  I don't want to be out of control that way.


I drink in moderation now that I'm older. I think that knowing your personal limit is very important. I don't like the "out of control" feeling, either.


yes, it is harder for some to know that too I think.  They are more prone to drinking excessively.


People do not realize that there is actually a problem with alcoholism on college campuses. Alcoholics often start at an early age. But, it is considered socially acceptable then.


That is true.  I wonder why that is?  We see the problem but no one seems to be addressing it.  Whether it be parents, the students, or colleges.


I think people consider the drinking and partying in college a right of passage. Individuals are seen more as cautionary tales rather than symbols of a bigger problem.


You are probably right and they are wanting them to have a good time in college and make friends.


I know I started partying more because that's where everyone was on the weekends. I was tired of sitting in the dorm with the same old people playing board games. None of the good looking guys were sitting around the dorm.


lol...that is probably a big part of it.  Everyone wants to feel included and important.


I sometimes follow the NFL. i try to watch the superbowl. You?


Same here, Im a fan of the game but usually don't have any time to watch it.


what do you think of the rules about women playing?


I think that woman are at a disadvantage.


I dont think women can gain muscle in the way they would need to.


Yeah what are your thoughts on the Saints and the rule they have against cheerleaders?


I think it is sexist and outdated. who cares if the cheerleaders eat in the same restaurant as the players?


I agree who cares and if you dont want players and cheerleaders getting together then it should apply to both and if a cheerleader is having a meal with friends/family then the player should leave


Use the tracking chips to know where the players are and this problem could be avoided.


What are your thoughts on those tracking chips? I hear the football has one as well


A good way to track players for strategy. maybe help prevent injuries.


Could be, there is a lot of controversy concerning brain damage and injuries in players, its sad when you think about it, when you think about them


Yes, it is a tragedy. many players end up broke, and lose their minds as well. player safety is key.


I agree so do you have a favorite team? mine is the Packers.


I like the bay area teams. they did not do well this year though.


They did now, interesting but the team is community owned, its a not for profit team


Yeah, it is the only one in the league that is owned by a city govt.


D you know how they got their name? its actually a really interesting story


I dont know. how did they get their name?


Because of an Indian packing company called Green Bay Packers, they paid for the team's uniforms and so they named the team after the company. Anyways its been great chatting with you


Yes, i enjoyed chatting! Have a good nigh!


You have a great night as well my friend.


Hey how are you doing, you a big Aaron Rodgers fan?


I'm not as I'm not a big sports fan. It's cool that he lead his team to victory even though he was injured.


I watch quite a bit of sports, something to pass the time and enjoy on a day off. He's really good, he plays hurt a lot, something I wish he didn't have to do. What are some of your hobbies/


And he's the highest paid quarterback in the NFL with a $134 million contract, crazy. I like to read. Have you heard of the 1975 George r.r. Martin short story called the last superbowl?


I have not, is it a football book or a fantasy book? Or both? Great author!


It is a short story which depicts the last Super Bowl. It's the last Super Bowl because simulated sports got too popular. It took place in January 2016 between the Green Bay Packers and the Hoboken Jets.


Oh wow, that would be really interesting to read. I might have to check it out. I wonder who won? Could have been that Beloit team if they still played!


Yeah, I want to check it out as well. I find it funny that there was a team called the Beloit Fairies, and that they were the first team to ever beat the Packers!


For sure, it'd have been a game to watch for sure. Did you play football growing up? I did, I was the QB for my Junior High team lol.


I did not watch football at all growing up. My parents weren't into it either. That's cool. Is being a left handed quarterback rare by the way? Kellan Mooreis the only left handed quarterback in the NFL


For sure, I think he is out of the league now. I'm not sure if anyone else is a lefty, do you know?


Ah, just re-read that. I didn't play football either, haha. I don't know about the lefty thing either. I just wondered if there was some disadvantage or something or if it's just because right handedness is more common.


Yah, not quite sure either. Even if you're not a fan, you can still own part of the Packers, they're community owned. What do you do for fun?


What kinds of books do you like to read?


Sorry, I realize I already mentioned that. I like light fiction novels that can get my mind off of things. I wish I was more into football. But it just doesn't catch my attention, as it only has 11 minutes of live gameplay.


True, it's overrated probably. Maybe it'll start getting less popular as the CTE information comes out.


Did you know there aren't any written rules against females playing in the NFL?


For sure.  I'm uncertain about the NFL future with CTE and all that.


Maybe a woman kicker, I heard there is one who has potential, who is playing on the men's football team at her university.


For sure, great chatting. Hope you have a great rest of the night! Take care


Yes, I do.  My favorite team is the New England Patriots.  What's your favorite team?


Coo, I have mad respect for Big Ben and Pittsburg!


Yeah he is pretty good. He has his off days though.


Don't everybody?  Hey, wonder why the NFL hasn't had a female player, yet?


I dont know if there has been many try to be honest.


I haven't even heard of one, myself.  But, I would have thought maybe a kicker would have at least tried.  Quite a few females play Soccer and that's a natural transition.


I dont know they would have to be able to kick better than at least 32 kickers in the world.


Women have alot more lower body strength than men, though.


Maybe your right I guess time will tell. I hope to see it one day.


Me too, the NFL has gotten somewhat boring to me, lately. That last Superbowl I watched seemed like it lasted three hours.


Yeah and what 11 minutes worth of action.


I still like to watch it though. The commercials are always good. Lol.


That is always the best part, that and the chicken wings and beer!


Cant beat the chicken wings while watching the big game on a big tv with a beer in your hands.


It's a shame most of  those boys don't make more money than what they do.  I read in the paper that an engineer can expect to make more in their lifetime than the average player does.


I think they are paid pretty well. Even if they are only there one year. They stilll make more than the average joe does.


True, well it's been nice chatting with you this afternoon.  I hope you enjoy the rest of your day.


Hello there, I do watch but my team missed the playoffs this year so that sucked, how about you?


I only watch the Super Bowl because I go to a party and eat. I guess that is the first Sunday in February every year.


Yeah it is, the SuperBowl parties are a fun tradition, just way more exciting when it's your team.


Football doesn't really catch my attention. Maybe that's because each NFL game only has 11 minutes of live gameplay.


Yeah that is pretty sad, I don't you notice so much when watching on tv, but live games you do.


Yeah well I know Americans take their football seriously. There are even trackers inside shoulder pads and balls these days.


Yeah they do, I'm more into english league football to be honest.  I think that is good with the tracking stuff though, I think it helps them with safety improvements.


Maybe I'd be more interested if women played. There are no written rules against female players but none have met eligibility requirements yet.


I think that would be so cool if a female player made a pro roster.  I think it would be extra cool for all the young girl sports fans.


The Green Bay Packers have really dedicated fans. Their games have sold out since 1960.


Yeah they do, and they are really good fans, they travel to all the road games and I know the local communities never mind when us Wisconsinites come, the Packers are my team actually.


And they are community owned,which is cool.


Yeah they are, I remember getting some Packers stock on Christmas morning one year!


Nice! Do you still have it? I just learned that the packers are named after an indian packing company.


Oh yeah, I will keep that forever, and yeah they were!  They have a really interesting history actually, the hall of fame at Lambeau field is incredible.


Yeah, they have been playing there since 1957. They are also the third oldest NFL franchise, 1919.


Good call, do you know who the first ever team to beat the packers was?


I learned of that recently, the Beloit Fairies! Whatever happened to them?


Yeah I wonder who ever came up with the team name, it's like a super large person named tiny or something.


Ha, it is pretty funny. In 1975 George R.R. Martin wrote a short story called the last superbowl where a game was played between the Packers and the Hoboken Jets. He wrote that it was the last game because simulated sports had become popular. It is possible that we could head in this direction, so I find that very interesting that he could have predicted that.


No I don't.  But I like seahawks!  lol  Guess they're really sea gulls  lol


Some of those team mascots are on the odd side!  So I guess you don't watch the superbowl in February each year?


I actually lose interest when they get political.  I used to like the packers because they were community owned.


That's one of the reasons I liked them too. Still do actually.  They're the only team that is community owned you know.


Kinda the same as supporting small businesses.  Gonna have to read that short story "the last superbowl"


It's a story about a game taking place in 2016 between the packers and the hoboken jets.


1975 by george r. r. martin.    the hoboken jets are fictional I think  lol


I was wondering!  I guess by the title it's the last game so it sounds like it might be interesting to find out why and such.


Hoboken is in Jersey and the jets are new york?  interesting


Maybe the author assumes they'll move someday.


He wrote the game of thrones.  I asked Alexa lol


The author that wrote about the super bowl wrote the game of thrones?  Wow!


He's a Jersey boy.  Guess that explains that.  And what about the football team named Beloit Fairies?


I didn't know there ever was one.  Fairies aren't a good mascot for a football team.


They were the first team to ever beat the packers.


Well that definitely says something.  What happened to them?


Too bad they didn't stay around.  Well, it's time for me to go.  It's been nice chatting with you!  Have a great day!


Hi, how are you tonight? Do you like football?


I liked it  a lot when I was younger and always went to my high school games. But now tickets are so expensive!


Yeah, too expensive for me. I sometimes watch NFL on TV. Usually around the playoffs.


It's funny that there is only 1 left handed quarter back in the NFL. I wonder how many people in the US population are left handed?


I think it's 20% at most. In some professions it's common. Like computer programming. I think it might affect the rest of the team to have a lefty QB.


So a lot of computer programmers are left handed? I didn't know that. Is it a right brain thing? Do you know how Brad Johnson threw a pass to himself? I can't picture that!


I think it's a bit of creativity and analysis. I guess Brad got a bit lucky their. Maybe it bounced off someone?


So maybe a ricochet! What plays do quarterbacks not touch the ball? Kickoffs and extra points?


I don't know. I think everything goes through the QB except the punt. QB probably holds for the kicker on FGs. Would that be a problem for a lefty?


Maybe it would throw the kicker off if the holder was on the opposite side from what they are used to. I wonder how long Russel Wilson is under contract to  the Rangers, that he is still officially a baseball player!


That's a strange situation. What position did he play?


I really don't know. Since he's a quarterback, maybe he was also a pitcher. One good arm for both sports!


The NFL has no written rule against women. Do you think women will ever play?


I don't know. It's hard to imagine a 300 pounder tackling an average size woman. But then again, maybe the NFL women players will be bigger than average, just as most of the men are. Does that seem weird to you?


It does. Maybe women soccer players could be kickers. Not much call for women in the NFL. Referees? Coaches?


I guess they may start off at some of the more specialized positions like kickers. Funny that people put there baby's names on the waiting list for Green Bay game tickets since there is such a long waiting list. That's some serious fans there.


They've sold out every game since 1960. I guess there's not much to do around there. No other sports teams.


I don't understand how they are community owned. So who in the community owns them? So you know?


I think the city gov't owns them, so they are non-profit. There are no private owners. I guess it's an unusual arrangement.


Oh, I see. That confused me. The scientist coach is a surprise. I always thought of coaches as being the guys that taught all the easy subjects like US History. Wonder what made him go from rocket scientist to coach!


His competitive spirit. Probably like the mental aspect of the game. Anyway, nice chat!


Good chat with you too. Learned a little about football. Have a great evening.


Thanks and I hope your favorite team wins the super bowl next year!


Thanks! Maybe you'll get a chance to see a live game!


I would enjoy that at some point. I've lived in 3 cities with national teams so maybe I 'll get to see one of them play.


I usually root for the underdog in the Super bowl. LOL


I did too this year. I don't like it too much when the same teams win all the time. I would think the NFL wouldn't want that either. Maybe the underdogs should get some glory every once in a while.


It would be easier if the small city teams had more money. Anyway, have a good night!


Right, the teams with the money always have the advantage. Same in baseball but I don't know if it holds true in basketball.


Yes I do. He was a backup QB in high school


Yeah and he got never started even the team was doing bad


Yeah their loss. DO you like Alex Smith?


Yes he is good in the game and also finished college in two years


Yeah and then began his masters degree before the pick


Yeah. Do you like know of that deal that Iverson signed with Rebook?


Yes he is getting $800 000 per year till he is 55


Yeah he is pretty set for like one can say


Yes. Did you know Baker Mayfield wanted to become a gamer?


Yeah he says he is good at Halo 3. Did you know women can play in the NFL?


Yes there is no rule against them playing


yes they are good to go as long as they meet the requirements


Did you know there are  only 11 minutes of gameplay in a game?


yes but we are in front of the tv for hours watching it


Engineers make more than the football players in the long run


Yes but they also work longer so have more time to make money


True. Did you hear of that Saints cheerleader rule?


Yes they cannot eat in the same place as the players


Yes so sexist it need to go. Nice chatting with you


I am.  I follow the Browns, but I also have a fantasy team.  I love our new team leader, Quarterback Baker Mayfield.


Can't say I know much about football.  Although the nearest team to myself is, indeed, the Browns.  I'm told that Mayfield is a rookie record breaker.


He is.  He has the most passing touchdowns thrown in his rookie season.  And he did it with fewer games started than the prior record-holder.  Having a good QB and leader is important to Cleveland.


So, is American football and Canadian Football essentially the same thing?


I think they are a little different.  I think Canada has 110 yards in the field, where the NFL in the US has only 100.  Do you know of anything else that might be different between them?


Only that American footballers probably make a lot more money.  Which league are the Browns in, NFC or AFC?


I think maybe the AFC?  I know they are considered "North" though it's not necessarily a geographical descriptor.  The divisions are important only for the playoff determination.


Did you know the Green Bay Packers community owned?  I wonder how that works, is it the city that owns them or do you buy a share?


I would assume they are a department of the local government.  They may be not for profit, but so is the NFL's central organization, and they make a ton a money anyways.  It would be funny if the Green Bay football players are the best-paid government workers!


If it's locally owned that is probably why they've sold out every game since 1960.


It could be.  I would venture that they have great fans, dedicated yes, but also that they've been a great team for so long.  They've had great QBs too.


What do you think makes a great QB?  Is it the ability to throw the ball or is it leadership, or a bit of both?


Leadership is key.  You have to know your players and what plays they will be able to execute.  Then the ball has to be there.  The quarterback has to make it all happen, as the leader.


It seem funny that Tom Brady couldn't make his high school team.  Even I know that Brady has been successful.


yes, with many super bowl championships.  Pro coaches must be better at seeing talent than high school coaches.


Maybe he's just a late bloomer.  It would be interesting to speak to the Junipero Serra high school coach and get his opinion.


I think part of the reason I can't get into football is that a game takes three hours and there is just 11 minutes of actual play.


Well, it can be a drag when there's nothing going on.  I used to think that baseball was boring, with how long it takes, but if you really get into the game, it's not a bad thing.


Do you go to Browns games?  I know the Green Bay stadium is Lambeau Field, what's the Browns stadium called?


It's named after First Energy, an electric company in the region.  I like when the stadiums have a more natural name like Lambeau.  It's clunky to always be advertising for someone when just saying where the games are played.


I know it's become more and more common, it should mean something to the team, not something that changes when the sponsor does.


Right.  Maybe the players or the fans could vote for the name.


It can't be much fun being a cheerleader at First Energy Stadium in a Cleveland winter.  How'd you escape the cold..


Actually ... the Browns are unique in that they don't have cheerleaders.  Also, they don't have a logo, it's just the orange helmet.


Hey, I learned something.  It was good speaking to you, have a good day.


I love it. You got a favorite teanm. Mines The Steelers.


Oh Im sorry to hear that. Burfict isn't nice.


Neither are Tomlin, Big Ben, and Antonio Brown.


Did you know Baker Mayfield once thought about quitting football to pursue a career in professional gaming?


That might have been a good move for him.


Haha. I saw that Alex Smith took so many AP courses in high school that he was a junior when he started college.


I think so too. Did you know the NFL has no rule against female players?


I dont see it happening anytime soon. It would be interesting if it happened though.


Me either. Maybe as a kicker or something like that.


I would actually love to see that. If a woman had one heck of an arm, and could be accurate. Maybe she could play QB.


That would be awesome. The average NFL game only has 11 minutes of live gameplay.


Did you know the NFL uses tracking chips embedded in players shoulder pads?


They use it to track velocity, rotation, ball speed, and location.


It gives us a lot of info about what is going on out therehuh.


It was good talking to you. Who Dey! LOL


hi, how are you? i do not get much chance to watch. you?


I try to as much as I can, which isn't that often anymore. I would say I like to watch the Green Bay Packers!


the packers have a long and storied history as a franchise. have you seen them live?


I have! They've sold out every game since 1960 so tickets are hard to get!


there must be a scalper market. i bet if you got rich you could get a ticket.


I'm sure, especially around there! I didn't know they were named after the indian packing company though.


i never knew that. what did the packing commpany pack though? cheese?


That's my guess haha. The beloit fairies were the first team to ever beat them!


that's a surprising name for a football team.


Haha I would have to say so myself! I'm glad the NFL was created though for sure!


yes, it needed to be made. the college game was good but it needed to go to a higher level and the NFL is it. people around the world are interested.


Did you know the NFL uses chips to record player's every move?


even off the field?? that is invasion of privacy. do they record players kneeling on the sidelines?


Haha I'm sure they even get that! I'm surprised their hasn't been a woman that tried out for a team yet since that is allowed!


maybe a woman could play kicker or something. that could happen.


That could happen for sure! They need equal rights though, Saint's cheerleaders can't even be in the same restaurant as players!


that is sexism, plain and simple. the men should leave. chivalry! that is the point.


I agree with you! Did you know there is only one left handed quarterback in the NFL?


that seems fishy. why so few? is there some conspiracy against them? right-wing politics or something?


Haha I will have to look it up on the internet for sure! Well have a great day!


I'm great! What do you think of government?


I get tired of all the fighting that goes on,  What about you?


I think the government is bad at keeping secrets.  For instance, Wikileaks published the government's plans to destroy Wikileaks.


Yes they are! In my opinion the government is corrupt!


Like the man in France who impersonated a government official, and managed to sell the Eiffel tower not once, but twice? He *should* have worked for the government, he was that crooked!


I agree with you about that. Lol Sometimes, government does good though.  The Norwegian government donated a billion dollars to save the rainforest in the Amazon.


That's great! I think they understand that the future requires investment. In contrast, the US passed legislation that would protect government employees from being prosecuted for violating the Geneva conventions.


I know right.  Why even pass legislation like that? Unless, you're doing what you shouldn't be doing.


Exactly. It makes me think of the land in Nevada owned by the us government. What are they up to there? I wonder.


Yeah, I read somewhere that they own 86% of the land.


All that land! I wish would could get the man in France to sell it for us. Then we could donate to save the rainforest.


Bam! triple trifecta! Do you do much reading?


I love to read, always have.  I somewhat of a speed reader, also.


That's great! I wish I could do that! How did you learn to read fast? Is there a trick?


Elementary school, I had an English teacher that showed us how and we were little, we thought we were doing something fun!  Kids nowadays would think we were being tortured.


Reading is just not as popular as watching. I wish people would do both. In the 18th century there was a "moral panic" because of the spread of the reading of novels. I think the moral panic nowadays is the Internet.


I agree with you on that.  Getting back to the speed reading, there's really no trick to it, just practice.  The teacher would turn the lights off and we would focus on the blackboard where a little lighted strip showed the words.  And we'd read until the strip cut off and then have to answer questions about the text to see if we really read it.  I always enjoyed it and thought it was fun.  That wouldn't impress the internet kids today as something fun to do.


What you're talking about goes back quite a ways, I think. I never saw anything like that.


You're making me feel old now!  JK Well, it's been fun chatting with you.  I hope you enjoy the rest of your day.


sure am! Im also up for a good drama film. what about you?


yea I really like him in that tv show, House


It was a pretty good show. Are you a fan of Jim Carrey?


i like both his comedy films and his drama films, its upsetting that he wont make any more dramas though since his belief system prevents him from acting in a movie that doesnt project positivity


I think his comedies are better anyways. Do you know why Michael Caine decided to become an actor?


haha good plan! i bet there were tons of babes in his drama class


yeah, probably. Did you know there is a website where you can listen to thousands of classic radio dramas episodes.


Yea but I dont really have a huge interest in radio dramas. Have you ever been to the site?


No, I don't like radio dramas either to be honest.


i think theyre kind of boring, put me to sleep


Did you know the White House twin buildings in ireland and france.


I had heard about that before. Do you think they also have solar panels like the ones George W put up?


I doubt it. Did you know the first president of Zimbabwe was President Banana?


hahahaha thats a hilarious name! Do you think thats his real name or a nickname?


wow, can you imagine being named Banana?


If it is my real last name, I can totally imagine it. Nice chatting with you.


The president is a head of state and nation. He was the leader of the republic state.


Talking about presidents...I like the fact that the president of Indonesia release 3 pop albums. Music must be official!


Mostly they are think about the welfare of the nation and people only.


yes! The should think more about music and culture! But it's interesting to know facts about presidents, like the one about the runner up who can became vice president


The US president guest house is larger than the white house.


Interesting! One amazing thing is to know about radio waves!


Radio waves strike an electrical conductor, the oscillating fields induce an alternating current in the conductor.


I like sciences! And the fact that radio waves exist makes me think in who designed them. Must be someone really smart!


Yes, But now days people are social media very few only listen to radio. Its very useful to hear the current update in the cities.


Yes, I hope people could use more their imagination. When  someone listen to the radio he is impulsed to use the imagination instead of seeing the images like in television


Jupiter has radio storms so strong that they can be picked up and heard by radio. Mostly i can be used any natural calamities to hear the news. It's Amazing !


I can't imagine how a radio storm may sound! must be a lot of noise!


It occured in Jupiter so only we hear the noise.


Hahaha, It's not music from heavens! it is Noise from outer space.


Sure! There is website you can listen to drama freely. In the early stage we use radio to hear the football score. Its very interesting.


Football is great. But if you listen to the radio comments and then turn on the TV you realize that your imagination is more active than what actually happens in the field!


Yes, In olden days we have only radio now in modern days all technology is used to watch the match.


Now you don't even need a TV or a radio, you can watch a match on your phone using internet!


Yes, people always in social media now days, there communication was much reduced.


While radio increased imagination, social media make people dumb. Nobody talks to their family or friends anymore


We are able to hear the classical dramas and comedy in the radio.


Hey there what do you think about the president? Shocking that Trump is not one of the top three most wealthy.


He probably thinks he's the richest. He probably thinks he's the top everything.


Yes I'm sure if hemade the list he would be at the top haha. did you hear about the president of Indonesia?


The man and his pop albums? Yes. I guess he felt it more important to record than to manage the country.


Yes it's kind of sad actually. It doesn't say that they were best-selling either. So they're probably not very good


Trump could probably release some albums. They might sell among his followers. He might become the richest prez ever. LOL


LOL well he could make a duet with Kanye West. They could do it from the White House to guest house haha


I bet Trump is steamed that the guest house is bigger. Trump would probably build a replica of the White House after he leaves office.


I heard that there were replicas in Ireland and France actually? Maybe he built those haha


If he had, there would be TRUMP signs on them. The US has a long history with Ireland and France. Does the WH have solar panels on it at the moment?


I think so. I know that George Bush put solar panels on the White House. Originally Jimmy Carter had them on, and then Ronald Reagan took them off, and then I guess George put them back on haha


I wonder if Trump took them off. He doesn't believe in climate change. He likes coal. Not very environmentally friendly.


No I agree with you. Did you like Teddy Roosevelt though? He was a staunch conservationist. I guess he banned the White House from having Christmas trees


He wanted to preserve the natural legacy of the country. Jimmy Carter turned all white house thermostats down to 65 degrees during the winter of 1977. He wanted to set an example.


Yep I think that was a good example. I think a bad example is that the White House still uses floppy disks. Get with the times!


That might have to do with security. It might be harder to hack into those system. I'm not sure. The US system should change in many ways. In Guatemala close relatives of former presidents cannot legally run for president. The US could do that.


Yes I actually like that idea. I wonder why it took the Secret Service four days to realize that bullets had hit the White House. They must not have been doing their jobs


Gov't shutdown is not necessary for the gov't to stop doing its job.


LOL I like that. Do you like any dramatic movies or TV shows? I really like Game of Thrones myself


Did you know that Hugh Laurie is the highest paid dramatic actor ever? $700,000 per episode of house. Now that's a dream I'd like to wake up to haha


Sounds good! $700k. What does he do with it all? Anyhow, great chat!
