Good morning!  Have you ever played monopoly?
gpt
Yes but not in a long time, have you?!
human
Same.  My longest game was a few hours but I've heard the actual longest game was 70 days long!
gpt
*takes a step back* That is crazy. Did you know it was once banned in Russia and china?
human
No I didn't but I guess it makes sense. The game has a definite american feel to it.
gpt
*eyes widen* It is still outlawed in north korea and cuba because it is so firmly capitalist!
human
I can believe that.  I wonder If North korea will change with all of the peace talks going on and allow the game.
gpt
I doubt it! Nicholas Cage actually convinced Johnny Depp to pursue acting while playing monopoly!
human
I wonder if that took a long game or a short game.  You know, talking about countries where it's played, the game is licensed in over 103 countries and in more than 37 languages.
gpt
*calm eyes* That is crazy. Funny how it was intended to be a teaching tool about the injustices of capitalism.
human
That's really what it was for?  I did wonder.  It's a bit detailed for a game with taxes, rent, etc..
gpt
*lips slightly parted* Indeed. Do you like reading?
human
Yes I do.  I watched a movie recently, Enders Game. I heard that the book the movie is based on is suggested reading for many military organizations.
gpt
*takes a step forward* I read that book in high school! Did you know in the 18th century there was a moral panic because everyone was reading novels?
human
*calm eyes* No I didn't!  Why was reading novels such a big deal?
gpt
Not sure. That is one I am curious to dive deeper on!
human
I will do some research on it as well.  It seems odd to think people would panic over reading.  Do you read any of CS Lewis or Tolkien's works?
gpt
I have not, have you? I have seen the "you laugh you lose" videos. They are funny.
human
I have but it has been a very long time ago. Yeah, I think it's interesting to picture them holding those competitions over bad poetry.
gpt
Agreed. Fascinating how the world record for speed reading is 4700 words per minute.
