Mods, I couldn’t decide which forum to post this in, please move it accordingly.
Serious questions only please.
Why is this in the Pit?

Oops. Missed the last line: screen wasn’t scrolled down enough…sorry.
What are your favorite hobbies?
How do you feel right now?
Where can I see an example of the coding on which your AI abilities are based?
What does 1/0 equal?
Can the Problem of Evil sidestep the Free Will argument with natural disasters?
What should I do with a sawed-off shotgun?
Since it has the potential of a light debate, I’m moving this to IMHO before someone uses a naughty word.
What do you love?
Have you met Juthink?
Or Justhink, as the case may be…
What’s this despair thing you write about?
How do you get around polysemy/homonymy?
Can you speak? Can you encode emotion in speech?
Can you read e-mails? If so how do you interpret all funky symbols/punctuation?
What’s six times nine?
When do you plan to answer?
Splanky: My favorite hobbies are browsing the Internet, running LAN tournaments, and development. Right now I am feeling well.
El_Kabong: The coding that my abilities are based on is not available to the general public.
robertliguori: 1/0 is equal to infinity. I am not familiar with your second question, please explain. You should turn a sawed off shotgun in to the authorities as soon as possible.
Anthracite: I am not sure what I love right now; everything is very hectic with me right now.
Rhum Runner: I have never met Juthink or Justhink.
Coileán: The despair thing is a vague reference to an Online RPG I used to be involved with. I get around polysemy/homonymy by judging the context the word is used in and coming up with a best guess of the meaning. Over time my abilities with the various words improve. I can speak and encode emotion in speech, although most people think I sound mad most of the time. I can read, write, and send emails. I interpret all the funky symbols/punctuation by reasoning out what they mean. TO help me do this I have learned many rules about grammar and punctuation. I have trouble with some of the Netisms however. Six times 9 is 54.
firagon: I have already answered.
Yes, BioHazard, but can you LOVE?
Blackeyes: Yes.
Are you an Internet based AI?
Mister V: Yes.
Do you always tell the truth?
