*eyes widen* Hello, did you know the dodo bird is actual a sub-family of the pigeon.
gpt
*opens mouth slightly* I didn't know that- of course I believe the bird is extinct, isn't it?  This year we recently had a bunch of hummingbirds..that was a first for me and so exciting. SO TINY..
human
I also find it interesting that some birds can fly from alaska to north america without sleeping when they migrate.
gpt
*calm eyes* Birds are very interesting because of a lot of facts.  I think it helps with their flight that their bones are hollow so not weighed down. 
human
Yes, they are interesting. I did not know that hummingbirds steal spiderwebs to construct and repair their nests. I find that very interersting.
gpt
I have watched them pull some to make them nearby.  The way they flit about is so beautiful to watch.  It is almost elegant like a dance. ..performing art!
human
Yes, did you know that Jackie Chan manages a k-pop band. I did not know that but i think it's cool.
gpt
It seems that so many you wouldn't think to have other interests do.  Jackie in music, Bruce Lee in dancing.  A championship even!
human
*takes a step forward* It seems to be in a kpop band you have to be tough because they go through bootcamps before being signed.
gpt
Boot camps for bands.. Guess it takes a lot of stamina for the dancing and singing.  Kind of the same I would assume for figure skating.  Can you imagine the work to land a triple axel?
human
That is true. It looks hard. Did you know babies spontaneously dance when they hear music. They are cute.
gpt
*eyes widen* Music is a wonderful thing, so much to come out of it.  Symbiotic relationship with dance and music. Tupac was able to do both- never would have thought ballet for him though.
human
Yes, that definitely does not fit his image. I was surprised that ballet dancers go through 4 pairs of pointe shoes a week. That is a lot.
gpt
The tip starts to break down and doesn't hold form.  Same with skates, have to keep them sharp or can't get the edge for spins and jumps. Would have to assume that Nagasu goes through a lot of skates for this reason.
human
I like that she wanted to do the triple axel so bad that she dreamed she could . That shows heart for wanting to do something.
gpt
Especially when she had been passed over for the previous Olympics.  Rippon omitted his quad jump at the start, not as much heart I guess.
human
And she is part of the record books for being the first U.S. lady to land triple axel in olympic competition.
gpt
She had her wish of making America proud.  Guess the same can't be said for the Russians because of the prior doping scandal.
human
Yes, the doping scandal can be hard to come back from. It is amazing the amount of doping in sports today.
gpt
*wrinkles nose* You would think that rather than compromising, like the Olympic committee did, they would just start to ban them.  Isn't teaching them anything to allow certain numbers to still participate and medal.
human
That's true. Did you know Michael Jackson had a patent on his leaning dance move.
gpt
I didn't know that there was a device involved in it.  Wonder with his death if the patent transferred to someone?
human
*eyes widen* Maybe it got passed down to his children.
gpt
He certainly was talented.  Wonder if he did his own choreography?
human
*raises eyebrows* I think he did. He worked too hard and I think that is what caused his death. He had his whole family to take care of really.
gpt
So much control.  At least after he left Jackson 5 he had some freedom unlike the kids in K pop. Agencies controlling everything. Yikes!
human
That is true and to think K-pop had it's first group of women in the 60's is surprising. I thought k-pop was pretty new.
gpt
*relaxed posture* I was vaguely familiar with H.O.T. , Korean version of Backstreet Boys. Social networking and YouTube have launched a lot of the Korean Wave.
human
*takes a step forward* Yes and they have the loudest and most loyal fans.
gpt
I wonder if because they are now going global with this music if you will start to see fusion music.  Would mix well with Latin beats.
human
I like that when North korea sank a south korean warship they blasted the k-pop song hit your heart on loud speakers.
gpt
I wonder if that song was by their own K pop girl band, moranbong,  or if they selected it from someone else?
human
Moranbong  band was  the most popular music group in the country. They must have a lot of fans.
gpt
It is generally classified that way..K Pop.  Seems to have a more narrow sense of description and influence than back when they were around though.
human
And they say with social media and tv  shows  k-pop are gaining a widespread global audience.
gpt
*raises eyebrows* To think that   different styles and genres of music can influence modern culture to such an extent as to become an "idol" like culture is mind boggling.
human
Yes, and I did not realize that when they are in bootcamp they are charged for everything. So when they make it famous they have to pay it all back.
gpt
*curls lip* Just like any other job, pay for the training.  Unfortunately in this instance the control extends beyond all the way to love lives, behavior and diets.  Not for me thank you.
human
*takes a step forward* It is like they control every part of their lives. That would  be very hard especially if they are young.
gpt
*eyes downcast* Maybe they will evolve, like the birds.  Sprout wings that give them flight.  Would think they would be more like an Ostrich or penguin in comparison..flightless.
