*tilts head* Have you heard about the hs teacher in FL who had students help him drown raccoons in class?
gpt
Yes.  That must have been traumatic for the kids and against the law too.
human
Traumatic, I'm sure, for the student who shot a video broadcast on an Orlando TV station. The teacher was a long-time, 34 year veteran teacher in Ocala, FL.
gpt
I can understand that the raccoons were a problem.  They were killing chickens.  But he obviously had trapped them.  He should have taken them to the woods many miles away.
human
Exactly. That's what we'd do in my rural area of the northeast. Most people understand that raccoons can be pests.
gpt
Apparently the law would have allowed humane euthanasia, but I don't know that methods are considered humane.
human
*tilts head* It's certainly humane to relocate animals if possible. Can't you just imagine the range of comments this event brought out on Facebook?
gpt
I am sure it went viral.  You know the color scheme on Facebook is largely blue because its founder is red-green colorblind.
human
Shame Zuckerberg can't see green because he has a LOT of "green" most of us will never see.
gpt
True.  But we won't have to testify before Congress either. Facebook sure had humble beginnings with its start in a few colleges.
human
Absolutely. Launched in 2004. Over 1 million registered users by, I believe, 2006 or 2007. Public offering in 2012. That's fast growth.
gpt
I love it that Americans continue to create such value like that and Google and Amazon.  Last year Facebook had 2.2 billion users who are active.
human
I didn't know that. I'm beginning to become wary of these new "giants" of the information age. Facebook has surged eons ahead of the book of faces in collegiate directories, hasn't it?
gpt
*hands at sides* Yes.  Myspace turned down an offer to buy Facebook for $75 million.  Blockbuster also turned down an offer to buy Netflix for $50 million.  Both of the potential buyers are now gone or nearly gone.
human
I'll be somebody out there is rueful today about their decision in 2005 (MySpace) not to purchase Facebook. 
gpt
*hands at sides* Undoubtedly.  I wish I could relive 2008 over and get my money out of the stock market before it crashed.  I read that the "like" button is illegal in one German state.
human
Sorry about your financial loss. Impossible to "like" in any way. Maybe the German restrictions make some sense.
gpt
I just said it to demonstrate that there are many people with financial regrets. Did you know that a seahorse is the only fish with a neck?
human
Funky. The only fish I know well are trout, bass and catfish, all considered olfactores, I believe. (No limbs with digits).
gpt
Those are all fresh water fish, which means that they "drink" water through their skins rather than their mouths.
human
Yes. I've never done ocean fishing, but I'd love to catch a small shark and prepare a meal with it right on deck. Saltwater fish like sharks drink, too, through gills and their mouths. Wanna put a tasty shark in my mouth. I've been told they're delicious.
gpt
My problem with deep sea fishing is I like to be in control.  When I want to go to shore, I want to go now.  There is a breed of jellyfish that is supposed to be immortal.  I guess whoever said that does not know the second law of thermodynamics which states that entropy is increasing.  That means that all particles in the universe will someday be moving in a random way.  No jellyfish then.
human
As far as I can see, a lot of things in my universe are moving randomly already. In the election of 2020, I hope that course can be corrected! Good to speak with you. Thanks.
gpt
*hands at sides* Likewise.  Bye.
