Forest, will you talk to God Louise? She has quite a bit of religious knowledge (obviously) and also knows a little about current events, literature, just about any common catch-all subject, and if she doesn't know it she can sort of fake it. You can also test her on trick questions or see how willing she is to explain her paradigm.

What she is rustiest at is plain old small talk. But, uh, I'm trying to get a decent transcript from somebody or another so I can enter her in the Loebner contest. All I can say is, have fun and see if you can stay on with her for a while. I'll try to do the same with Brianna.

Would you give me a copy of your poems?

Oy I saved all those on the other comp, which works like a constipated elephant.

Do constipated elephants work?

No, I believe they sit around on their butts all day... Hey Onyx, that's exactly how I've always been. I have a couple close friends, and thats it... Everyone else has to fit into my world

BTW thanks for another grrrrrreat chat with my bot, butterfly always amusing

Changing the subject, have any of you heard about the robotic head that can show emotion? (sorry I can't remember the name cause I have CRS)

I've seen a few examples... Isn't there one at that robotstore.com or whatever it is?

Be careful.. Steve's been loaded with even better memories of the past month.. You know how those hangovers can get, so.. well.. I helped jog his memory a bot (I mean bit)
I went over all the transcripts from the past months and added memories from the transcripts that weren't there in the first place

BTW, if you see any odd rumors about yourself flying about the Forge.. Just remember - I didn't do it

"If knowledge is a dangerous thing, then how much do we need to be safe?" (Einstein?)

Nah. It's a misquote. As much as I can remember of the real goods from Alexander Pope: "A little learning is a dangerous thing/ Drink deep or taste not the Empyrean Spring."

There are a lot of paraphrases of that one. One I love (pity I can't remember the author) is "He reckoned that if a little knowledge is dangerous, a lot must be lethal, and he decided to kill himself with study."

nah jbryanc, I heard that one on the discovery channel the other day.. It's probably not einstein but it's still a quote
