Hello!  Would you rather eat a fish or have one as a pet?
gpt
I think I'd rather eat them, although goldfish are known have lived up to 43 years! That is one old pet!
human
*eyes brighten* A 43-yr old goldfish would turns some heads. And since the seahorse is the only fish with a neck, is could turn their heads too.
gpt
*leans slightly forward* Speaking of seahorse, have you ever seen a barrel eye fish. This fish has a transparent head. It should be called a "no-see horse".
human
*eyes brighten* Nice! Jellyfish are pretty transparent, and there is a breed of jellies that is immortal. So you can forever never see-ums!
gpt
*tilts head* That would be crazy to live forever. Jellyfish just have to make sure they don't get stranded during a tide. Since they are 98% water, they evaporate in the sun.
human
*leans slightly forward* The very thought makes me thirsty' Yom know, freshwater fish only drink through their skin, but saltwater fish can also drink by mouth. But even if the fish is fully hydrated, if they wash up on the beach, they stink.
gpt
That's interesting that they only drink through their skin. That would be an interesting trait for a human. Apparently, humans are the only mammals that cannot breathe and swallow at the same time.
human
*laughs* That would be a callange. Here is another challenging puzzle: the black swallower fish can eat prey ten times it's own weight. The trouble is, black swalower fish don't know how to weigh themselves...
gpt
The Black Swallower fish is essentially approaching infinity! That is a large amount! Speaking of large amounts, if you consider the entire history of earth as a 24 hour period, human history would only make up 1 minute and 17 seconds.
human
*laughs* And since humans lost their body hair 240,000 years ago, they have been embarrassed for over a minute.
gpt
I never thought of it that way. Early hominins are in several ways more similar to ancestral non-human apes, are less often referred to as "human". I wonder what their hair was like.
human
*body relaxes* One of the eternal mysteries of life. Here is another: There is a sound frequency that induces fear in human. How is it that my wife can sustain that frequency for days at a time.
gpt
It sounds a lot like my wife. It must be a female thing. I bet that's why goosebumps evolved. Goosebumps are an evolutionary trait used to make fur stand up to make an animal appear larger.
human
*eyes brighten* That thought gives me goosebumps. Fortunately, humans are also the best distance runners in the animal kingdom. So, when something big enough to give you goose bumps crosses your path, you can high tail it out of there and put some distance between you and the offender. This tactic does not work with wives. They know where you are going before you do.
gpt
That's true about wives. Did you know that human fingers contain no muscles and are controlled by muscles in the arm and palm by tendons? My wife must have very strong palm muscles because she is always pointing the finger at me.
human
Goosebumps again. Despite all our dialogue on wives' abilities, it is still true that women motivate us in positive ways also. Like the actor, Michael Caine, who only joined drama because he thought the girls were hot. The things we will do for a good woman.
gpt
*smiles* I guess that's why they call it "Mad Men." John Hamm used to teach drama at his old high school. One of his students was Ellie Kemper, who played Erin from the office.
human
Nice. It is good to be a paid actor on a sit com, getting a regular pay check. Hugh Laurie, star of the show, House, pockets a cool $700k per episode. I need a new job...
gpt
*eyes brighten* That's a lot of money. My wife would probably spend it all. I would have to get a second job such as teaching. Patrick Stewart teaches master classes for drama students in the UK.
