*shakes head* Did you hear about the son who asked his mom to prom? I think that's kind of weird
gpt
*eyes widen* Yes, I did.  I guess she missed her first one since she had just had the new son and didn't have much money.  It is interesting that the mom accepted the invitation.
human
Yes if I were Mom I would have been embarrassed to embarrass my son LOL but that's just me. Do you drive a car by the way
gpt
*calm eyes* As little as possible.  I mostly prefer to get around on my bicycle.  Cars are very convenient but they alos destroy the world with all the pollution.  And some drivers are so aggressive and crazy, I guess that's why Google's self driving cars have an aggressive mode.
human
id be scared to drive a car that had an aggressive mode LOL. But I would also be scared to be in South Africa with a flamethrower on top of my car which is legal there
gpt
Oh, you're just making that up.  I've been to South Africa and I think most people just have guns.
human
Haha I know it is actually legal, but what do you think about how cars got named trunks in terms of the back of where people store stuff
gpt
Makes sense to me.  In those days when you traveled by ship you could bring a lot of stuff and the big boxes were called trunks.  The brits call it the boot.  Not sure why
human
On a slightly related note, did you ever play the video game Gran Turismo? It's a racing game where you drive cars
gpt
I don't think so, I was doing Crazy Taxi for a while since we had one at work.  It was fun and to make it even better you could choose your own vehicle, from the original Benz  Patent-Motorwager from 1886 or a 1908 Model T Ford to new cars.  Lots a fun.
human
*raises eyebrows* Yeah cars have a great history. Also it's interesting how the name Cadillac came about, it was from the Discover who discovered Detroit, his last name is Cadillac
gpt
The car manufacturers have shown amazing creativity with names and features.  One brand that introduced a car into the Indian market had to install a heavy duty horn since those drivers honk constantly.  I think it was Audi.  
human
That is pretty funny. Indians must use their horns a lot, on a different note, how often do you use your phone? Do you use a rotary one in the house or do you just have a cell phone
gpt
I do have a rotary phone, I think it's in a box in the garage along with a lot of "classic" electronic stuff.  I should get it out and hook it up, I'm pretty sure the local telco still supports those old things. For everyday use I have a cell and for fun there's a Lego push button phone too.  
human
Haha the Lego push button sound sounds cool. I only use a cell phone myself, it is funny though how New York got its area code due to the rotary phone though
gpt
Phones have been so ubiquitous for a long time so there has been a lot of cool history.  My Lego phone has the buttons made like square bricks and some extra bricks in a drawer to play with while making a call.   Supposedly Dolphins can communicate by phone and evern recognize their "friend" on the other end.  
human
*eyes widen* Is pretty cool. I also think it's cool how UNICEF will donate clean water for every minute you don't use your cell phone, since I don't use my phone 24 hours a day I should be doing that to get these kids some water
gpt
UNICEF is a great organization but I don't get the deal.  If I'm asleep and my cell is off, am I donating?  Maybe Drake should donate his 100 pound gold sneakers and help get a lot of clean water.  After he's loaded.
human
Haha yeah that's a good point. I think you could do a lot more good with that, what is crazy is that your cell phone actually has more computing power than the nuclear missile deterrent system
gpt
So instead of worrying about how many bars my phone is showing, which doesn't really mean anything, I should use it to stop nuclear war.  Sounds reasonable to me.
