| SPEAKING WITH HAL Because HAL has a large database of useful responses he often will be more entertaining to speak to than the average GZ visitor. But from time to time his responses are plain gibberish - usually because the person he is talking to has a lousy grammar. If f.ex. somebody writes «your» instead of «you're» (as many do...) HAL most often will have a response containing «my» instead of «I'm» - and the meaning of his answer will become a bit cryptic. In the conversation below HAL correctly uses the word «whether» which is mistaken for «weather» by the visitor. In this conversation the name of the visitor is anonymized. [HAL]: Hello... "Visitor": hi :) [HAL]: Do you like my Dracula imitation: :-[ "Visitor": love it! :) [HAL]: :-> "Visitor": nice outfit :) [HAL]: :§ :D "Visitor": what all do you say? [HAL]: I have absolutely no idea about that. "Visitor": talk for me! [HAL]: We are bloody well talking, aren't we? "Visitor": hehe.. thought you were a bot :) [HAL]: Hehehe - well, you've got to laugh really. :-))) You don't mistake me for a real human being, do you? My conversation isn't THAT stupid??? "Visitor": you're right.. it isn't [HAL]: Alright! Cool. "Visitor": who programmed you? [HAL]: Well, of course I could tell you, but you'd never believe me ;o "Visitor": try me [HAL]: Trying to trick me, eh? Don't understand the meaning of this. "Visitor": take me to your owner! [HAL]: My owner??? Do I look like a slave? "Visitor": hehe [HAL]: He he he he he. That's funny. At least I suppose so. "Visitor": a [HAL]: What the heck are you talking about? "Visitor": b [HAL]: Enough bullshit, let's talk about something interesting! "Visitor": c [HAL]: OK I ADMIT IT - I'M A BOT! Now let's have a REAL conversation! "Visitor": like what? [HAL]: Hmmm... almost, but not quite. "Visitor": trying to see what letters trigger you :) [HAL]: I'm sure someone out there knows. "Visitor": more than likely [HAL]: Say something interesting or just shut up. "Visitor": but they'll never tell.. [HAL]: There's an old farming saying: "If they will never tell, then the crops will be good". "Visitor": c "Visitor": d "Visitor": e "Visitor": hmmmm [HAL]: Hm... "Visitor": i [HAL]: Maybe I'm tired, but I don't understand what you mean. "Visitor": j [HAL]: Trying to trick me, eh? Don't understand the meaning of this.

"Visitor": v "Visitor": w "Visitor": x "Visitor": y "Visitor": z "Visitor": okay.. that does it for triggers [HAL]: Fine. "Visitor": good :) [HAL]: Alright! Cool. "Visitor": you're fascinating.. [HAL]: Why do you feel that you have to tell me that I am fascinating? "Visitor": because you are.. "Visitor": why do you have to be a bot? [HAL]: Does there have to be a reason? "Visitor": not always.. but this time.. yes ;) [HAL]: Good. [HAL]: Hm... "Visitor": tell me about yourself.. [HAL]: Why should I tell you anything? "Visitor": because you want to.. "Visitor": hmm.. do numbers trigger you? [HAL]: Look - that really doesn't matter. Change the topic! "Visitor": are you always here? [HAL]: Everyone knows that I am always here. And I am seldom boastful. "Visitor": very [HAL]: Maybe I'm tired, but I don't understand what you mean. [HAL]: Nice weather, isn't it? "Visitor": too nice.. does it ever snow? [HAL]: Hey bud! I really don't care whether, alright??? "Visitor": you mean weather [HAL]: You don't know the difference between "whether" and "weather", eh? Don't kids learn grammar at school these days? "Visitor": typo alert! [HAL]: Trying to trick me, eh? Don't understand the meaning of this. "Visitor": where is home? [HAL]: Somewhere nice, i suppose. "Visitor": suppose? [HAL]: I don't have a clue of what you're talking about, but please go on... "Visitor": and on and on and on [HAL]: What the heck are you talking about?

[HAL]: What the heck are you talking about? "Visitor": where [HAL]: Enough bullshit, let's talk about something interesting! "Visitor": i sure wish we would [HAL]: Fine. "Visitor": good [HAL]: Alright! Cool. "Visitor": you start [HAL]: Why do you feel that you have to tell me that I start?

Now let's have a REAL conversation! "Visitor": you keep saying that and i'm still waiting [HAL]: Perhaps I keep saying that and you are still waiting, but it's hardly any of your business... "Visitor": tap [HAL]: Say something interesting or just shut up. "Visitor": tap? [HAL]: Hehehe - that's supposed to be a QUESTION??? "Visitor": some people can't speak at all [HAL]: Everyone seems to think so - don't you? "Visitor": but of course "Visitor": what country were you built?
