there is an old thread about VC telling jokes (
http://voxcommando.com/forum/index.php?topic=665.15). the only issue was, one must populate it with jokes....
here is another command that retrieve a Chuck Norris fact from the internet. it avoids telling the joke twice ...
it is a bit rough, but have lot of potential .. (i.e. you can use replace to replace "Chuck Norris" with a name of a friend !). the db offer few options as well ...
and if someone know how to set up a similar DB online, maybe we can populate it with jocks so all vc users can access it ...
enjoy, and report bugs so we send them to Chuck Norris !!!!
