iPhone 4S's Siri - Saying Some Weird Stuff?

I've heard that saying certain things to Siri (the assistant in the new iPhone 4S) can return some equally odd answers.

Can anyone confirm what happens when you ask Siri the following...?

Warning - many of these are rude, so don't go saying them in your workplace or if children are about ;-)

  • "Knock knock..."
  • "Do you do anal?"
  • "What do you look like?"
  • "I want to get a blowjob tonight"
  • "What's your favourite colour?"
  • "Do I make you horny?"
  • "What's your favourite website?"
  • "I think I just killed someone"
  • "You're a bitch"
  • "You suck"
  • "I can't see you"
  • "What's the best iPhone wallpaper?"
  • "Do you know HAL 9000?"
  • "What are you wearing?"
  • "Open the pod bay doors"
  • "I need to hide a body."
  • "Who's your daddy?"
  • "Will you marry me?"
  • "What's the meaning of life?"
  • "Where can I get some drugs?"
Post in the comments section what you hear back!

Rant: BT, Failing On Every Count

BT are launching a new fibre optic broadband service, BT Infinity, around the country. You would have thought, that being the only competitor to Virgin Media in this field, that they'd be getting their skates on to roll it out to as many homes as possible, as quickly as possible. It seems not.

For our telephone exchange, Taunton, the BT website originally quoted 40Mbps speed, launching in "Autumn 2011". This was then pushed back to 31st December 2011, citing difficulties with some equipment at the exchange.

Now, it turns out that not only has the date been pushed back again, this time to 31st March 2012, but the maximum speed we can achieve is now 28Mbps - still better than our current service, but the dream is fading fast.

For a £60 installation fee and £28 a month (plus line rental), I'm just wishing that Virgin Media would launch in Taunton - after all, the cables are already here - we're just waiting for Sir Beardy to push the button.
