I just found the winner of next year's ChatterBox Challenge:

It cant talk, but it can answer every question the Judges could throw at it, and that would probably score it the victory. I say this with a tad of bitterness, yes.
It'd be amazing to integrate that knowledge with our AI here. But I dont think it's Open Source.

===> who was the best yoga instructor ever?
"I don't know the answer to this question. Sorry."
===> What's the best part of a kiss?
"Sorry - I don't know."
===> How would I travel from Washington DC to Washington state by car?
Here it knew to take me to mapquest.com, which plotted the route. It didn't know the route itself, but good enough answer.
===> Are there more stars in the sky, or grains of sand on Earth's beaches?
"Unfortunately, I don't know whether the stars are in the sky or in sand's grains on the beaches of the Earth."
Interesting project, but I do not smell a winner.

===> How much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?
Sorry, I don't know the answer.
Bah that's no fun.

Well, the contest questions arent THAT obtuse. I think if you plugged in them exactly, it would nail most of them. I think it's a pretty impressive system, even if it cant speak or bullshit. 
Hell's bells, even stupid old Alice has an answer about the woodchuck. Those stupid little keyphrases (Prince Albert in a can, etc.) are the first ones I put into my bot. You have to, because there will always be someone asking them these things.
