Hello,  how are you doing ? There's a wiki which ranks fictional characters according to their powers and abilities.
gpt
*takes a step forward* HI, I'm good. Oh really I didn't know that, thats interesting. Did you know that in the 1950s a judge tryed to ban a comic because it had a black character in it?
human
Thats ridiculous!  I had no idea.  This is interesting :Edgar allen poe wrote the oldest known example of a cyborg in fiction. 
gpt
I had no idea he wrote about a cyborg, thats awesome. Speaking of writing, a fiction story that is 100 words long is called a drabble.
human
Wow,  I always thought that word was just slang.  lol Julius caesar wrote fan fiction of hercules and oedipus in his youth.
gpt
*raises eyebrows* I had no idea fan fictions been around for that long! George RR Martin began writing by selling stories for pennies to other children.
human
Thats awesome,  he knew what he wanted to do at a young age and even made money!  George rr martin despises fan fiction, saying that it is copyright infringement and a bad exercise for aspiring writers.
gpt
Wow, I never knew! I don't think I agree with him on it being a bad exercise though. Actors Jon Hamm and Patrick Stewart each were drama teachers at one point.
human
No I dont agree either.  Thats cool,  they seem like they would be good at it. Starship troopers is the first sci-fi novel on the reading lists of three of the five us military branches 
gpt
I didn't know that, I'll have to check that book out sometime. The name soap opera came from the dramas being sponsored by soap factories in the past.
human
Thats cool,  I guess I've always wondered that,  just never enough to look it up lol The world record for speed reading is held by anne jones, with a reading speed of 4,700 words per minute
gpt
Thats crazy and I used to think I read fast. The longest piece of fanfiction is four million words and is about Super Smash Bros.
human
haha that can go on forever,  so many characters! Cs lewis and tolkien held "you laugh you lose" competitions when reading terrible poetry
gpt
Haha, i would have loved to see one of those competitions. In the middle ages only the most skilled readers could read silently.
human
me too.  hmmm don't most people read silently?
gpt
Thats what I always thought but apparently its a new phenomenon. 
human
Ender's game was suggested reading for many military organizations, including the united states marine corps
gpt
Good book, President Andrew Johnson never attended school, his wife taught him.
human
Wow.  I don't even know how home schooling works,  can you get a degree that way?
gpt
I think you can but I'm not sure either. I'll ask my friend who was homeschooled.
