did you know new yorks area code is 212 because it was the fastest to dial on a rotary phone? crazy huh
gpt
Sort of makes sense.  I saw a couple of 17 year olds who were given a rotary phone and 4 minutes to make a call and they could not figure it out. The cables across the ocean just lay on the floor.  I don't know how else they would manage them.
human
Yeah that was funny, I saw that too.

gpt
Those ocean cables are just 2.7 inches in diameter.
human
wow.  and an iphone has more computing power the the US ICBM program

gpt
I love the increase in computing power.  It takes a bit to convert the human voice into electronic signals that are transmitted by telephones.  But, not that much!
human
right!  Little fact I think is funny:  The guest house is bigger than the white house.  
gpt
It is odd, but the White House is so old.  You watch HGTV today and everyone wants bigger rooms today.  Imagine the chaos if the VP was still the person who came in second in the presidential race like it was up until 1805.
human
Oh that would be entertaining.  Hillary and Donald working together haha
gpt
There are countries where the president is largely a ceremonial position.
human
yeah, or like indonesia where the president has released 3 pop albums
gpt
*relaxed posture* True.  That is a complicated country to run.  Glad he can have some lighter moments.  The Brits are sure formal.  Until a few years ago, one had to wear a top hat to bring up a point of order in Parliament.
human
the british have some interesting politics for sure.  And while we're on hats, the old west's most popular hat wasn't a cowboy hat but rather a bowler
gpt
I bet it was hard to water your horse from a bowler!.  Some hats have religious functions.
human
oh yes, that is correct many do have religious meanings. 
gpt
*hands at sides* Also, limited usage.  For example, even if you have a PhD, you probably only wore a motarboard hat 4 times in your life.
human
*leans slightly forward* yeah.  And tipping your hat goes back to knights raising their visor to show friendliness.
gpt
That would be a similar motion.  The hat worn by chefs is called a Toque.  I bet some chefs don't even know that.
human
I'm sure most don't unless they went to culinary school
gpt
*hands at sides* Some hats also have fold down ear flaps to keep ears warm.  I live in Phoenix, so I don't see many of those.  Is it cold where you are?
