Jabberwacky - live chat bot - AI Artificial Intelligence. Turing devised a test that, if passed, the program / artificial intelligence couldn't be distinguished from a human sentient... mind you, could you tell whether all the people that you converse with are actually naturally intelligent? Harsh? I think so. I challenge you to have a conversation with this engine and see if it makes any more sense than a person after 8 pints of Stella... is that what Turing had in mind?

Viagra 'could prevent strokes' Fantastic... first they invent something which alleviates male impotence - and now it's being used for all sorts of stuff. I like the fact that a sex-pill has an association with strokes. Something kind of twisted about that.
