Egobot (www.55fun.com/40) is a tool which uses the web itself as its brain. For every question you ask Egobot, he'll try to find answers on Google within a second or two. Sometimes, that results in nonsense, and other times, in factually correct answers. Often it's just fun to listen to him, because he (or should I say the web?) is kind of weird. But take a look at the following interview I made and judge for yourself:
