Do you like to swim?
gpt
Yes, I live in Maine so i have to go the Y in winter.  How about you?
human
Oh, I love swimming! But it's been too long! Something like 16 to 18 years! I'm Native American and I just found out that we introduced the front crawl swimming stroke to the west when we beat the british who only used the breaststroke!
gpt
*tilts head* That is awesome!  Hey, did you that Michael Phelps has more summer gold medals than most countries?  Isn't that crazy
human
No, I didn't know. But it's easy to believe that guy is amazing! I've heard that he eats so much food, to have that kind of energy! 
gpt
Yes, I thought I heard he used to eat 6000 calories a day because he burns so many calories training in the pool.  I would assume he has cut back on his eating now that he is retired.
human
I sure hope so! There is a type of competitive swimming where the athlete has their hands and legs bound, and swims like a dolphin! I use to tie my feet together with shoelace and pretend to be a mermaid!
gpt
Too cute.  Did you know that most swimmers won at the 2008 Olympics wearing a type of swimsuit that was so good it became banned?
human
*tilts head* No, but I'm going to try to buy one for when I do go swimming again. I aim to do it this summer no matter what! Especially considering that swimming is among the top public recreational  activities, I feel so left out not having done it in so long.
gpt
*eyes brighten* You should.  It a great low impact workout.  Find a nice place to swim and go for it!
human
*leans forward* Oh yeah, I absolutely have to! It's like a primal instinct and I can't take it anymore! I was reading about Cornell University and I guess they require students to pass a basic swim test before the can graduate.
gpt
My daughter's college in Massachusetts used to but not anymore.  Just don't tie your feet with shoelaces anymore especially in deep water  lol
human
Yeah, that was pretty dangerous now that I think about it! And also I'm not as spry as as I used to be. Haha! Did you know that in 1936, the russian's made a computer that ran on water?
gpt
I did not.  That sounds different.  I wonder how powerful it was considering it was 1936.
human
Probably not too powerful, but hey, what do I know! I was shocked when I found out that the space shuttle's general purpose computer runs on only 1MB of ram! No idea how they managed that!
gpt
Me either.  Did you know that Bell made a manual computer from cardboard in 1968 to show high school kids how computers work?
human
*opens mouth slightly* That's a great way to teach the kids about computers! I hope they don't turn into transhumanists! That's people who want to upload their minds to computers and memory sticks! Sounds scary to me!
gpt
I agree.  I am already creeped out by the people who use those VR gadgets on their face.  They look like that have left out world for another.
human
Yeah, those sounds completely dangerous! No thanks! I deal with enough drama without not being able to see what's right in front of me!
gpt
Did you know Ada Lovelace wrote the first computer algorithm?  Her name sounds made up like from a children's story.
human
No, I didn't know, but I think that's a very pretty name! Sadly I smoke cigarettes and thank goodness I don't use an Apple computer. Because if I did, smoking near the computer would void the warranty on account of it being "Hazardous Waste!"
gpt
I don't like to nag but you know cutting back on your cigarettes would help your health and your swimming this summer.  Sorry for nagging
human
:) It's perfectly fine! I appreciate it! I do plan to quit soon! I've been making big lifestyle changes and seeing all these great results! It was so nice chatting with you! 
gpt
Same to you.  Have fun swimming this summer!
human
*laughs* Thanks I will! You have a wonderful night! :)
