Last Letter Conversation XXI

In this game, somebody types a sentence. The next person responds with a sentence that begins with the last letter in the previous sentence.

For instance, somebody might type:
That's not necessarily true, two rights make an about face.

and the response might be:
Even backwards, I'm right.

then:
Tell me how you are right when you are backwards?

then:
Sore wa himitsu desu.

then:
Umm... what?

then:
That is a secret.

then:
Tell me or I won't talk to you any more foot stomp

then:
Perhaps it would help if I pointed out that I just did tell you.

then the response from you:

Re: Last Letter Conversation XXI

Rarely.  I guess we can talk about anything.

Got twenty threads and counting of this game as evidence of that.

Re: Last Letter Conversation XXI

You may be right. Memory is overrated... probably.

Re: Last Letter Conversation XXI

Yeah, we can just have our computers remember everything for us.

Re: Last Letter Conversation XXI

So true. Except for when we don't because we can't recall that there was something we needed to remember about.

Re: Last Letter Conversation XXI

Then can't we get our computers to remind us of what we need to remember?

Re: Last Letter Conversation XXI

Rather recursive argument there, don't you think?

Knowledge is power and my computer knows more than I ever will.

Re: Last Letter Conversation XXI

Likely it has more information, but no home computer has knowledge. One might make an argument for machine learning based machines such as IBM's Watson, but even there I don't think they've crossed the line between information and knowledge yet.
