did you know that 212 is the fastest number to dial on a rotary phone? that's why it's the New York area code
gpt
I didn't know that. Telephones are a miraculous device that permits conversation among various people despite vast distances
human
yes that is true, I guess the cable that connects across the atlantic ocean is only about 3 inches in diameter. Crazy that something so thin is what connects the continents
gpt
The technology in phones have come a long way. For instance, an iphone has greater computing power than the entire us nuclear icbm deterrent.
human
yes that is kind of interesting and also scary, are you from the USA? apparently women were not allowed to wear pants in the senate until 1993 which is crazy
gpt
I am and that is quite bizarre, but there sure are some obscure rules. For instance, a senator invoked an obscure rule to allow the sergeant at arms to arrest absent senators and bring them into the chamber for a vote. One even tried to escape and was caught and carried into the senate
human
yes that is very strange, also crazy that Richard Nixon broke a gavel that was 165 years old, that would suck!
gpt
That was a piece of senate history. I wonder what nixon did to break it?
human
Ya I wonder if he was hitting it really hard? or he was using it gently and it just broke because it was so old. I wonder if there is a video of it?
gpt
Another interesting piece of history of the senate is the candy desk. The senator sits at a desk near a busy entrance and keeps a drawer full of candy for members of the body
human
haha that makes me hungry, I wonder what kind of candy is in that drawer. What is your favorite candy? I like Reese's peanut butter cups and snickers
gpt
They have milky way bars, mars bars, and jellybeans. All which are my classic favorites. I also enjoy gummies.
human
oh wow those are tasty, I like gummies, what is crazy is that Trump wouldn't be considered one of the top 3 richest presidents, I wonder if that is adjusted for inflation or not that might be why
gpt
Speaking of presidents, did you know that the president of zimbabwe was called president banana?
human
I didn't know that, did you know the indonesian president made 3 pop albums? I wonder what would happen if Trump made a pop album
gpt
But speaking of US presidents. did you know that until 1805, the runner up of a presidential election automatically became vice president. That means if this was a continued tradition clinton would have been VP
human
no I didn't know that, that would be so crazy to have Hillary Clinton as the VP, there would be so much more drama with Trump 
gpt
I don't think allowing both of them to be leading the US would be a good idea. Perhaps funny to watch, but with disastrous consequences.
human
*takes a step forward* yes it would make a good tv show but it would not be good for making policy, also crazy is that the president's guest house is bigger than the actual white house, like how is that possible?
gpt
Perhaps they thought that they had to be extravagant and welcoming to guests and foreign powers to have better relationships and demonstrate their wealth
