I guess this guys well read in quantum physics
Funny you should mention that, since it apparently watched enough Discovery Channel to make a few connections without knowing what it's talking about. Anytime I brought up physics-related issues with small objects and high frequencies causing unstable or near-singular matrices, the conversations would carry on in strange ways...
For example --
It : "But isn't that a good thing? Because it means we can have black holes in the game. That would be just terrific what with Hitler creating black holes and stuff."
Me : "D'oohhhh... Shoot my monkey... Not... that... kind of singularity."
It : "Oooh... but... then --"
Me : "And how did Hitler come into the picture?"
It : "Well, that doesn't matter... so it's like a quantum singularity, then?"
Me : "Do you even know what that is?"
It : "Sure, it's like the single things and the quantums become the thing."
Me : "Ummm... right... that's exactly it. But that's not what I'm talking about either. And no, there's no connections here to 'quantums' and Hitler."
It : "Ooooohhhh... 'Quantum Hitler'... I like it, I like it."
Me : *sigh*~ "Oh, boy..."
It : "It sounds all futuristic, but it's like blending the old with the new. Like a flying Harley-Davidson."
Me : "Yes, that's exactly what 'Quantum Hitler' is... a flying Harley. How about you write up a design doc about that and post it on the server so everyone can see it?"
It : "Great. I'll do that right now."
Me : "Yes... and I'll get back to work."
And yes, that is where the handle "ShootMyMonkey" came from, though this example wasn't the first time I'd uttered it at that job (though I'd never used it until I had that job). I'll give the creature some credit, though... I wouldn't have expected it to have the brain power to connect "singular" with black holes.
Also, it very frequently tried to pretend it knew how to code (supposedly to try and get on the good side of us programmers) by finding various code and scripts on the web and printing them out claiming that he wrote them. The best part is not only is it painfully obvious that the creature doesn't understand any of the concepts used in the source (e.g. bitmasks, arrays... types), but it doesn't even bother to change any of the comments, including the names of the original authors. So there will be code from some random guys, and even some people whose names we're all aware of.
Example case --
Me : "You wrote this?"
It : "Yeah."
Me : "You...?"
It : "You bet."
Me : "So why does it say 'Daniel Vollmer' right there?"
It : "Oh, that's just an alias I use when I put code online."
Me : "And I guess that goes as well for those other cases with the names 'Mark Kilgard' and 'Dave Kylie' and 'Thomas Pytel' on them"
It : "Yep."
Me : "Uh huh... And the reason for all these aliases?"
It : "Well, you know, it's just so when these things show up online, y'know... If I used my real name... everybody would think 'Oh, this big millionaire is wasting his time writing code like a common citizen' and all."
Me : "..............................."
It : "I even use multiple ones so people think it's more than one person, y'know. I don't
... y'know...
... want them to get the wrong idea
... y'know?
"
Me : "Okay, why are you winking? That's creepy..."
