[OT] Something about that Greenwich meridian

[Sy Ali]

This Emily stuff has me thinking..

Has anyone played the old Hero's Quest games?  The early ones where
you could type in all your actions were awesome.

I remember finding the right people to talk to where the responses
were quite funny if you cussed.

I even vaguely remember drinking a beer in a bar, and then for the
heck of it trying "pee in cup".. and having it work.  It's too bad I
couldn't reproduce it later though.  =(

...

I also wonder what would happen if Google made an "Emily"..

Google: (chime) Hello, and welcome to google
Me: Dammit, not another one of these...
Google: It sounds like you're trying to find porn
Me: Uh, well.. uh..
Google: Would you like to visit porn.com?
Me: Hey, no wait.. I'm trying to work here..
Google: It sounds like you're trying to visit slashdot.com, is this correct?
Me: Uh, maybe later..
Google: Alright, I'll send you to youtube.com

Thinking a bit more.. I guess Emily is the voice recognition
equivalent of clippy.
