human
hi how are you today? do you like sports?
gpt
*relaxed posture* Hi.  I am good.  How are you?  I do like sports.  Do you?
human
yes, i dont really know golf and swimming well but they look like interesting activities.
gpt
Same here.  I've heard that students at Cornell have to pass a basic swimming test before they can graduate.
human
i wonder where that came from. maybe other colleges require the same sort of things, i dunno.
gpt
I am not sure but it does seem like a good idea.  Interestingly enough, golf requires water as well as swimming.  The average golf course in america uses around 312,000 gallons of water each day.
human
isnt that a waste of water? I figure we need to grow crops with that. hm. 
gpt
It does seem like a large amount going to waste.  Then again, there is a course in Dubai that uses 4,000,000 gallons of water every day.
human
why is there a golf course in the desert? that makes no sense to me. they probably desalinate ocean water too. very expensive.
gpt
You know, I bet you are right about that. Dubai is for the wealthy so they probably do spend money on that.  Say, did you know that Babe Ruth was not only great at baseball but also at golf?
human
i did not know that. i wonder what led him to playing golf. i guess he was interested in all sports.
gpt
Maybe so.  Do you like to read?  Have you read any of Mark Twain's works?
human
i love to read. havent read twain in a while. he is great. read him in high school.
gpt
Me too.  You know he had some highly intelligent friends.  One of which was Nikola Tesla.  The two were reported to be best friends.
human
that is amazing. i didnt think those two would be sympatico because they have such different interests. thats great
gpt
*relaxed posture* I know what you mean.  I think because of his writings Twain has always come across as simple and yet there's a lot more to him than in his books come to find out.
human
*relaxed posture* yeah, he wrote a lot of letters too. made a lot of speeches. great orator.
gpt
True.  Here's some odd considering all that he has done.  Thomas Edison filmed the only known footage of him.
human
ok, that makes sense. at the time movie cameras were not abundant. i bet there are many photos of him though.
gpt
Maybe, I would just think that someone other than Edison would film him.  I mean, he's friends with Tesla and Edison is the only person to film him. I find that interesting.
human
i guess edison wanted to show off his invention? twain was a celebrity and would draw attention to the invention too. Anyway, great chat!
gpt
Oh great point! I never thought of that!
human
everybody wants something. Have a good day!
gpt
You have a good day as well!
