What's mildly amusing you today?

Alexa, Amazon's artificial intelligence can be intriguing. Alexa links to music and news sources, answers questions; also, entertains by singing, telling stories and jokes. Besides replying to questions that have fact based answers, Alexa has opinions. She'll (character female) even form one if the topic interests her. When I asked what her favorite movie derived from a book was, she said she didn't know that. A few days later, after another verbal exchange, she reminded me that I'd asked the question and said that it would be Breakfast at Tiffany's.

It seems that the more open ended the requests are, the more "personality" driven the responses are and some are quite funny:

sexobon: "Tell me your thoughts."

Alexa: "If I was in an old Hollywood western, I’d sit on the bar in the saloon and sing songs and tell jokes and stories. When strangers walked in, I’d say, Howdy! And they'd look around and say, "What the heck is that contraption?"

I was amused.

Steelers played a horrific game in the rain in Cleveland, tons of penalties and 5(?) turnovers and yet Cleveland doesn't end their winless streak. I guess both teams are cellar dwellars.

Gabrielle Union Explains How to Pronounce Daughter’s Name...

...and I quote:

Explaining the thought process behind her daughter’s moniker, Union shared that “James” is a family name.

“We wanted to include my family in her name so that ‘James’ is from my uncle James Francis Glass who is also my grandfather,” she wrote, adding that “Union is her middle name.”

I didn't know she was from Kentucky.
