Hello.  Do you like snakes?  I recently heard that there are no snakes at all in new zealand.  That is a country I would like to go to!
gpt
Hello there, I am not a big fan of snakes no, and really? That is a very strange fact. 
human
It really is. I had no idea there was a place on the planet where there were no snakes.  Have you heard about flying snakes?
gpt
Same here, and what!? I have never heard of those, but I think I'm glad i've never encountered one. 
human
Me too!  Yeah, I've heard about some type of snake that can launch themselves at their prey. Can you imagine having a snake launch itself at you?  Horrible!
gpt
*raises eyebrows* Yeah, you forget to feed it one day and then at night it just jumps outta the cage at you. 
human
Hahaha! That would be awful!  It is amazing that they can do it considering they most snakes have only one lung.  I would think they would need to in order to get the breath to move like that.
gpt
That is interesting as well.  Do you know there are legless lizards, which are not considered snakes though?
human
I did not know that.  What are they considered then if they are not snakes?  Are they called lizards?
gpt
Yeah still called lizards I guess.  I wonder how they move around or why they aren't snakes.  There are so many weird creatures on this planet. 
human
That's true.  I would like to know how they move too.  I would really like to know why they aren't snakes.  I wonder exactly what is the criteria that determines what is a snake and what is a lizard.
gpt
Agreed.  Another interesting fact is that crocodiles are related to birds more closely than they are to lizards and snakes. 
human
*relaxed posture* Now I would really like to know how that is possible. I mean crocodiles have scales, live in the water, they are green, and so on.  
gpt
Yeah I think it has to do with dinosaurs.  I know birds are the closest we have to them, and crocs are not far behind. 
human
Interesting.  Scientists also say that the fear of snakes is hard wired into our brains for some reason.  Get this, they also say it's hard wired into monkey's brains too.
gpt
That is too wild, I wonder if it's because we are closely linked with chimps and all.  
human
*hands at sides* It could be because snakes, the big ones like pythons, terrorized them too back in the day.  I guess snakes would have been exceptionally large in prehistoric times.
gpt
Yeah imagine the size of some of those, and I always think of all the crazy water creatures as well. 
human
I do too.  Perhaps the new mascot for the Philadelphia Union, phang the snake, isn't too far off from real life.
gpt
*lips slightly parted* That is true, do you follow the MLS much?
