The chatterbot is a pain to program.  To answer 3 questions, you need to 
program it
50 million ways.  What time is it?  What's the time?  I wonder what 
freaking time it
is?  Do you know the time?  I have an Alice bot running I can program if 
you're
interested.  You need to know AIML.   It runs on perl.

cya tomorrow night.
