    i gave it the abstract idea of "Nothing" to gues at:

    it didn't win, but it had some interesting things to say to me about
    how i (how else can i interpret it?) wasn't playing fair:

    <snip>
    You were thinking of nothing.

    Can you buy it at a store? You said Yes, I say No.

    [many times have a walked into a store, and bought nothing]

    Can you put something into it? You said Yes, I say No.

    [by logical default, you can put something into nothing...or am i
    mistaken?<where '0=nothing' and 'N=something' you can always add
              N to 0>]

    Can you eat it? You said Yes, I say No.

    [once again, many times have i eaten nothing]

    Does it come in a box? You said Sometimes, I say No.

    [you've never received a box with nothing in it?]

    Can you use it at school? You said Yes, I say No.

    [there were times at school when i used nothing]

    Could it be found in a classroom? You said Yes, I say No.

    [the classroom *cannot* be empty?]

    Do you use it at work? You said Sometimes, I say No.

    [do i need to comment on doing nothing at work?]

    Can you hold it? You said Yes, I say No.

    ["what are you holding?" ..."nothing..."]

    Would you find it in an office? You said Sometimes, I say No.

    [empty office, just like the empty room]

    most amusing...
    i salute whomever found this, whoever created this,
    and the quasisentient (at least info adaptive) program
    that returned such Qs and As, as well as his "poor sport"
    way of telling me, no...i was wrong, he was right...he just let me
    win because i cheated..

    hehe,
