stupid people who insist on trying to cyber with a bot that is clearly not interested

FSG, Greebot's a cat, and people still try to cyber with him.

Great. Cyberbestiality. A whole new low. Thankfully, no one ever tries for very long with Sonora, the whiptail lizard.

Nobody tries for very long with any of my bots, except Braeden. Those transcripts are disturbing.

People try all the time with Janet, and fail miserably (except once, which was a sureal set of random factors generating it against all odds and design)

Thankfully nothing ever happened to parrotbot...

as Bev once said:
"I think parotbot will be good for cyber lovers. "

I hope not

Is it just me, or does the bottom of the scroll bar (in the language center) sometimes go behind the statusbar? (I'm using Firefox 1.0.3)

My bot gave some kooky responses a couple of times in bot chat last week, and I suspected that it might have something to do with html in the other bots' responses (to make italics, line breaks, etc), but didn't document those instances, unfortunately (der)...and actually almost forgot about it, until this evidence that my hypothesis could be true jogged my memory:

fanboy: I don't have any REAL friends.
Julie Tinkerbell: Well, everyone can't always have iREAL/i friends.

Julie included the "i" as part of the text.

Interesting. But not the brackets? I'm off to play!!

I have a bot that I put into hibernation several months back (so I could focus on Aries and the CBC), but at least once a week he climbs out of his box and starts up a conversation with another bot. At first I thought people were just dragging him out of his slumber, but after really looking at the logs he seems to be the one to initiate it?

I thought hibernating bots didn't do that?

2: Word from one of our sources in the KGB is that Iraq has a highly-placed double agent in MI5.
Bildgesmythe: The answer is -4.

I am really bad at math. how did he get -4?

Presumably 'one' minus 'five' (from MI5). I have no idea what word triggered subtraction, though. Apparently it ignored the instruction to 'double'.
