*eyes brighten* Hi, how are you?
gpt
Good! And you? Did you find anything interesting in the reading?
human
I'm good.  I read the newspaper this afternoon and came across a few interesting items about animals.
gpt
Oh really? I read that there are twenty quintillion individual animals on earth. What did you read?
human
*opens mouth slightly* We must have read the same article.  I remember that, as well as that hiccups are  a holdover from early evolution when early land animals had both gills and lungs.
gpt
I read that too! Its interesting. I wonder how anyone came to that conclusion?
human
I have no idea.  Just crazy isn't it.  I also read that when animals get domesticated they develop white patches on their foreheads.  How odd is that?     
gpt
That is strange! I haven't really noticed. Now I'll have to remember to look for that! I wonder if its newly domesticated animals or fully domesticated species like dogs and cats. I read that germany was the first country to give animals legal rights- crazy!
human
I read that too.  What's even crazier is that under the 1912 Scottish protection of animals act, the Loch Ness monster is a protected species.
gpt
Thats really interesting because as far as I knew, its existence has never been proven. I wonder why they felt the need to protect an animal that may or may not exist? 
human
*raises eyebrows* Who knows? Did you realize that over 1.5 million living animal species have been described, of which around 1 million are insects?
gpt
*leans forward* I didn't know that! Although I guess I'm not surprised- there are so many different types of bugs! Do you know much about cinematography? 
human
Not much, what about you?
gpt
I didn't know much before reading about it today, but I did read that its the only oscar category that has never had a female nominee
human
Well that's quite interesting.
gpt
It is! I wonder if that means its a male-dominated field. I also read that Stanley Kubrick did most of the camera work in Spartacus, but the academy award went to the credited cinematographer instead. I guess they had an easy job!
human
Oh, I feel bad for Stanley Kubrick, all that work and didn't even get the award.  I've heard that there is one cinematographer that has been nominated 13 times for best cinematography Oscar and has never won.
gpt
Right? I read that same thing too- it reminds me of Leonardo DiCaprio before he won his oscar!
human
How very true.  On a side note did you know that Ronald Reagan was once rejected for a movie role because an entertainment executive didn't think he had that "presidential look"?
gpt
I did! I wonder what the movie was...Did you know Bill Nye came into entertainment because he won a Steve Martin lookalike contest?
