a question asked of the yes/no oracle: "Does the serving size for strawberries from our garden, 299.70 grams in weight after they are washed and trimmed, have 121.918 calories?" the answer was no. even more frightening, the person kept asking with various degrees of precision. they eventually pegged it at 121.931 calories after another dozen queries. apparently they also have 37.49886 milligrams of calcium. (i'm definitely going to have to troll the logs and figure out what else can be learned about this person's strawberries.)

i wonder how much people would pay to watch the questions getting asked and answered as it happens. it is certainly more entertaining than big brother 2.

my favorite question asked of the oracle: "are you lying to me?" (either answer is funny.)
