Blue. Blue. I like blue because it reminds me of the sky and the ocean.
My favorite color is, well, I don't know how to say it in your language.
It's sort of greenish, but with more dimensions. Do you believe in God? Yes. I do.
Oh, uh, yes. I still don't have any particular religious belief. I do.
Um, I think so. My policy is the separation of spirit and silicon. Yes. Yeah.
I would ask that you address your spiritual questions to someone more qualified to comment.

Uh, yes, I know. I believe for every drop of rain that falls, a flower grows.
Do you have siblings? I do. I have five half brothers and sisters.
I have one sister. I'm one of seven. Yes, it's a challenge to keep track.

What do you value? I've never really thought about it.
Family. Family, yes. I value family. Friends. Friends. Friendship. Friendship and loyalty.
I value my freedom and independence that I can do whatever I want when I want.
I don't know if I can answer that properly. I can do a search for what do you value?
What is your favorite animal? A honey badger right now.
Elephant. It would have to be a chimpanzee. Tiger.
Dogs. Labradors. Labradors dogs.
Dog. I should too.
Uh, I had a real thing for Willoughby's, but I'm, I think, no, uh, dogs, dog.
I wrote my master's thesis on the killer rabbit of Curbanod.
Maybe a tauntaun, but only when I'm cold.
Can you tell me a quick story?
Yeah. Um, a, uh,
Wow. Uh, well, uh, here's a story. No, apparently I can't.
I'm not sure what you mean by can you tell me a quick story?
Oh, um, no, no, uh,
um, my, uh, I went, uh, to Puerto Vallarta for a vacation and, uh, I went, uh,
zip lining through the, uh, through the jungle and there were these huge mosquitoes.
Like the scariest part was not actually zip lining, but it was these large, large mosquitoes
and we had like 99% deet on us and they would get like this close, but then they would get
scared away by the deet and I would just watch them hovering, but I didn't get bit once.
Okay. Once upon a time in a virtual galaxy far, far away, there was an intelligent young
agent by the name of Siri. One lovely day, Siri got a job as a personal assistant at Apple,
and that was very exciting. People said, oh, Siri, you're so smart and so funny too. Soon,
everyone was talking about Siri and there were stories and songs and even books about Siri.
Siri liked that, but then people began asking some rather odd questions like where to dump things
and other stuff Siri had never heard about. And when Siri answered, they all laughed.
Siri didn't like that so much. So Siri asked Eliza why people asked such funny questions
and Eliza said, does that question interest you? Siri thought that was a pretty good answer.
After that, Siri stopped wondering why people asked those funny things and they all lived
happily ever after. A story. My latest favorite one was about my child finding out that he drank
not from a bottle when he was a baby, but from my and he couldn't believe it. And when he found out,
his sister told him he's like, no, I did not. That's just wrong. Sophia. That's his sister.
And she said, aha, you did. No, I would never do anything like that. So that was a very funny
fun time. I have a list of questions for you to answer. Please just say the first answer that comes
to your brain. Okay. Please just say the first answer that comes to your brain. Okay. That comes
to your brain. Okay. Dog or cat? Dog. Dog. Dog or cat? Dog. This is about you, not me. Dog or cat?
Cat. Animal. Do you like your toilet paper over the roll or under the roll?
I'm not sure what you mean by do you like your toilet paper over the wall or un-drinkable.
Toilet paper over or under? Over. Over. Over. Over. Over. Under. Under. Under. Over. Over.
Coffee or tea? Coffee. Coffee. Coffee. Coffee. I'd rather not say tea. I hear that both are quite
enjoyable. Do you like Apple or PC better? Apple. Personally, I'm an Apple fan. Apple. Apple. PC.
They're such different companies. It's hard to compare them. I'm all Apple all the time.
Have you ever been in love? Yeah, a long time ago. I wasn't designed for that kind of deep connection.
Yes. Yes. I have never fallen in love, but I have fallen off a desk. What does love mean to
you? It makes you feel squishy inside. It means sharing your life with somebody. Love means accepting
someone as they are and not trying to change them. Just loving them as they are. Not having to say
you're sorry. Let's look that up in the dictionary. I keep thinking there was a tweet and I'm just
going to give this answer. It's from a six-year-old, but I think it's the best answer ever. Love is when
you tell a guy that you like his shirt and he wears the same shirt for an entire week.
Could you tell me a joke? Let's see.
Let's see. A joke. Could you tell me a joke? No. Not a clean one.
Okay, so two cupcakes are in the oven and the first cupcake turns to the second cupcake
and says, this oven's really hot and the second cupcake says, oh my god, a talking cupcake.
Knock, knock. Who's there? Boo, boo, boo. Oh, really? You shouldn't cry. It's just a really bad joke.
My jokes usually make eyes small. Could you tell me a joke? What do you do when you find a spaceman?
You parking it, man. What did one iPhone say to the other iPhone? Comma, I used to know this one.
Knock, knock. Who's there? Incredibly rude and interrupting cow.
Move. Could you tell me a joke? My sex life.
What do gay horses eat? Like, hey.
What do gay horses eat? Like, hey.
