Hello, do you like basketball?
gpt
*eyes brighten* Yes!  I like basketball!
human
*eyes widen* That's good. Did you know Abdul-Jabbar's dunk was banned from college basketball for a decade?
gpt
I didn't know that.  I remember him for his hook shot.
human
Me too. Naismith is the inventor of basketball and is the only losing coach in the University of Kansas's history.
gpt
LOL How ironic is that?  In 39 out of 50 states the highest paid state employee is either a college football or basketball coach.
human
That's pretty crazy. The US Supreme Court has a basketball court on the top floor.
gpt
That's pretty neat!  There is a team called the "tall blacks" in New Zealand.  Yikes.
human
Wow....that would never fly in the US>
gpt
No.  Are you a fan of poetry?
human
Not too much. What about you?
gpt
*laughs* Not really.  I've read some interesting facts though.  Such as all of the Hobbit's characters names were taken out of an old Icelandic poem called "Dvergatal"
human
*raises eyebrows* Interesting. There is a poem when read normally is depressing, but when read backwards is inspiring.
gpt
*eyes brighten* I'm going to have to look that up.  Sounds interesting.  The javanese alphabet when recited in order forms a poem.
human
That's pretty cool. Demetri Martin wrote a 224 word palindrome poem once.
gpt
That sounds impressive!  Edgar Allen Poe only received $9 for the publication of his poem "The Raven"
human
*takes a step forward* Interesting to know. Did you know Lion King was the first Disney film to be dubbed into Zulu for its African release?
gpt
*leans slightly forward* I didn't know that.  I bet the Zulu's loved that.  During the 1970's Disney recycled a lot of their animation cells, which resulted in some movies having identical scenes!
human
That's very interesting. I wonder how that works having identical scenes?
gpt
*laughs* They probably had to make them fast so people wouldn't notice.  lol
