Another new way to lose track of time

Someone sent me a link to cleverbot.com and it proves the saying that "little things please little minds" as I have 'lost' an hour having an absurd conversation with it!
Have you ever conversed with it? If so, did it tell you anything interesting? Did you find yourself spending more time on it than you meant to or did you think it was just a silly bit of nonsense that you couldn't be bothered with?

Hiya Wizzy,
More than anything I was just looking at the future link and it´s really quite interesting in fact it is interesting I have never heard of a microbiotic fly that could have so many uses now and in the future.
Another fun side would be how to become invisible did not care for the Soldiers being invisible bit sounds more like a horror film of the future. Would´nt I like to be invisible just for a few hours boy I bet you I would I would be paying a few visits to certain places on this Globe of ours I would just want to see what they are up to that´s all no devious ideas here it would be just for a laugh more than anything.
Not very impressed about the Brain fingerprints either that sounds like a whole gruesome stew of cruelty and human error could come out of that one until they perfect it God forbid that they perfect that one. Even now there are still errors and innocent People sent to Jail if you know what I mean. On the other hand I have to admit that many innocent People have been released because of that D.N.A. system too. Just a question of them getting their priorities right in every sense of the word. I really think they tip the scales too much with Brain fingerprinting idea. Great link Wizzy great info too thanks very much. Take care now Sue.xxx

Hiay Wizzy,
Yes I made a beeline for the future thing I read the chat thing but I found the future thing really interesting some great things in there. You would not find all this on the Television here as they have made National Geographic like an extinct monster or dinosaur you can only see it on paid for at the moment. I cannot afford or have paid for Television anyway so the Internet is my only way of keeping up with things and specially for the UK. Don´t worry I tend to overlook things like that too I tend to read the end before the start. Where is it that they read the a book backwards instead of forwards? Can you remember? Must go for now but where did you find cleverbot from?

I did try to have a conversation with the cleverbot, but it gave me the silent treatment. 
It was the most frustratingly depressing 43 seconds of my life! From now on I'll stick to trying to converse with my Wife. It's SO much more appealing to have a real person ignore me.

Cleverbot? Like having a conversation with some kind of an automated thing?

I have never been there. I have been to various game sites which are good time wasters. I also joined another paying site today that I hope to do well with. All kinds of things to take up time instead of cooking and cleaning etc.

It told me I was deep and kept on changing the subject. Probably because I was sincere and appreciative. I lost a good hour there one day as well.
Too many kids with silly questions, and a immature sense of humor, the publishers say it learns from past use though, so who knows. What I do know, is every time I asked a value based question, it changed the subject or tried to pick a fight with me.
With appreciation.
