But what took me by suprise was the fact that , i asked the AI program

AI : If i want i can find
Badri: I like to know
AI : Do you really want to know < something like that>

AI: He is a computer scientist in Carnegie Mellon university etc etc crap
Badri: So you do know Richard Wallace even before he created you
THIS IS WHERE I WIN , the FOLLOWING ANSWER put a halt to the conversation
AI: Interesting Deduction: Trying Sending mail to drwallace@alicebot.org.
