A lot of animals in our planet
gpt
True.  its been said that animals developed white patches on their foreheads when domesticated.  I can't figure out why.  Any thoughts?
human
No idea, maybe its an evolutionary trait, my dog doesnt have that path
gpt
*raises eyebrows* One of mine does and the other does not.  I guess I let the mystery live on.  Did you know that hiccups are a carry over from when land animals had both gills and lungs?
human
I did not know that but thats an interesting fact just like how there are 20 quintillion animals on our planet

What I find interesting is that in 2002, Germany became the 1st country to give animals constitutional rights.  I wonder what rights are those, considering that they are still under the domain of humans?
human
The first country, wow more should do the same, respect animals more and they may have rigths just different that the ones we have

Well, on a lighter note, the 1912 Scottish Protection of Animals Act has declared the Loch Ness Monster a protected species!  Thinking back, I remember the Bush's and the Obama's had dogs as White House or Presidential pets.  I cannot recall if President Trump has a pet in the White House.  Can you?
human
No not really lol, good thing Nessie is protected, just in case he/she wants to come to the surface again

Well, I know the Pence's have a vice presidential rabbit.  I recently read a bit of trivia that the 3 richest presidents were Kennedy, Washington, and Jefferson.  Do you think that is still true?  After all, Trump is supposedly a billionaire.
human
A rabbir really lol, of all the pets thats the last one I would have guessed, and no I think Trump is on top of that list
gpt
*eyes widen* I would agree.  Did you know that the 1st President of Zimbabwe was called "President Banana"!  Some might think that to be an insult.  But in my opinion, it is really mild considering the names the left has for President Trump.
human
Yeah Trump has some mean nicknames, Banana is not actually that bad I love the fruit, it can alway be worse
gpt
I recently learned that until 1805, the runner-up in the Presidential election became vice president.  Could you imagine the chaos if that was still the case?  Government is already dysfunctional - it would likely be more chaotic if we had a President Trump coupled with a Vice-President Clinton!
human
It would be terrible, there would be a civil war at office like every day, it is really disfunctional I hope Trump doesnt get re elected, 
gpt
Any thoughts on how the Elephant became the symbol for Republican and the Donkey became the symbol for the Democrats?  In my humble opinion, those representations are an insult to animals!
human
*eyes widen* I agree, poor donkeys and poor elephants, there is a funny anecdote with Truman and Dumbo
gpt
Poor democrat President Truman was afraid it might look like is was associated with Republicans!  How vain!  I personally prefer color designations - they are easier to remember and less likely to be used in an offensive manner.
human
And poor Dumbo he didnt deserve that, that was uncalled for lol, and yeah that system has been around since the year 2000

Well, I am in a strong red state.  Growing up we were a blue state with the moderate "Southern democrats"  but the moderate Southern democrats have been replaced with liberals, leading to Republicans holding most elected positions.  While I am neither a fan of Trump or Pelosi, I like that we have both parties engaged in leadership role.  I hope that they can work together on compromise.  It seems like compromise is getting harder to almost impossible!
