Run these in IRC: ~blast [somenick] ~cry blootbot/infobot/ibot/jbot responds with: ***infobot pulls her blaster and uses [somenick] for target practice ***infobot cries and sobs until she nearly drowns in her own tears. That's why I call infobot a girl... though anyone could define a response with 'him' and 'he'. Perhaps it's like a captain refering to his ship; something like: "She's South of our destination, take her north".
