Do you like snakes? I had a pet corn snake once. Mostly I see them in my garden, or see my cats trotting along with them in their mouths, LOL.
gpt
Cool!  I am curious about them for sure. Since I'm from the US, I should be able to see my fair share unlike the people in New Zealand where there aren't any!
human
That seems to be true of a lot of islands. I have a friend from Hawaii who says there aren't any snakes there, and the same is supposed to be true of Ireland.
gpt
That's a good point.  Wherever they are, though, I'd like to steer clear of the snakes that essentially fly in an effort to catch their prey.
human
That sounds pretty scary. The ones I've seen aren't quite that mobile, LOL. I found a snake skin under my bathroom sink, so apparantly one found its way in there during molting season.
gpt
It's a good thing you are a fan, most of us would be moving.  I wonder how legless lizards differ from snakes?
human
*laughs* Parallel evolution, I guess. I have a lot of lizards here too -- skinks all over the place in hot weather. I find them sometimes where my cats have killed them.
gpt
How about crocodiles?  Apparently they are closer relatives than birds than snakes or lizards.  May it's like that one odd Uncle that we have who doesn't seem to fit the genetic makeup of the rest of the family.
human
*eyes brighten* I just saw an article where some biologist was planning to genetically reengineer birds into dinosaurs by reactivating the junk DNA a bit at a time.
gpt
That should be must-see tv if it works!  Could you imagine if it worked the amount of viewers something like a real dinosaur would get?  
human
I think the scientist was the same guy who originally worked as a consultant for Jurassic Park, LOL.
gpt
Are you a fan of the Simpson's?  I can recall an episode when Homer went back in time to the Jurrasic age, but I think he sneezed and completely changed the course of history.  Of course Bart played some role, because there is only one episode that he wasn't in or even mentioned.
human
I loved that episode. I remember he came back and everything seemed the same again, until Marge said "what are donuts" and he screamed in horror.
gpt
*smiles* That's right!  LOL.  Never got as much into South Park or Family Guy, but I know the Simpson's people sent flowers to them after a finale was aired.  That was cool.
human
*smiles* Yeah, I didn't care as much for South Park or Family Guy either. But I loved The Simpsons. I think I stopped watching them around 2002 when it seemed like they jumped the shark.
gpt
*lips slightly parted* With kids, all of those can be dangerous.  It's much easier to pop in Thomas the Tank Engine.  Do you know about some of the famous narrators that show has had?
human
I knew about Ringo Starr and George Carlin, but not Alec Baldwin. I should check out that show.
gpt
*laughs* They all will give you 52 episodes of enjoyment!  If you get finished with that, Pokemon has like 750 episodes to keep you occupied for pretty much ever!
human
*tilts head* I've never been much of a Pokemon fan. Do you like them?
gpt
Not really, but it's been an impressive run of shows!  Unlike when they tried doing a UK version of That 70s Show and it only lasted 10 episodes.
