    According to the Deep AI, when asked "What the Heck is a Cleck?"
    "You have a choice: "Cleck" is for an open end fence that is both large to hold a person and small not to allow someone to climb over it. This is a term that was used in the 17th century for the length of an open wood fence (like this one) and used in an outdoor campfire. One of the main difference between this campfire and a "cleck" is the way that it doesn't cover or break up a person's natural fence."

    Just wanted to share this gem Deep AI produced when I tried it out. I feel like Dougls Adams could have written something like this:
    Ya know, the thing I love about eggs is that I've never had one before, and it's really easy to cut one. But a little bit of salt or perhaps some chopped green or red apples, a little bit of vinegar, some butter or maybe even dried fruits, that's great. It's like I'm always cutting up your potatoes. Like if the potatoes are half as tough and the onion is on the thicker side. And that's the best way. I could do what they are too but since I've never done that before it should be a very easy recipe for a big family. Or is it a bit more complicated. Just like when you cut up your eggs and cut them up? You make up this little recipe with a single ingredient in mind. So, the way most people do it today is. And let me talk about cooking on a knife. You use a knife to cut on each side of the egg. Just to make sure there's a line. But there's a huge difference there when you have cut the eggs. On the whole, they're a little more tender and they're much more crunchy. They do feel like you're cutting them, but you're not cutting them up. They're just too sticky to use. So a knife doesn't hurt. But, there are some things you don't want to do because you'll need the rest of the day and you aren't cooking

      I got a call from "Amazon" telling me they'd just charged me $70 for Prime. It invited me to press 1 to talk to someone-so of course I did.
      They started on their script, telling me I'd just been charged $70 for Prime membership-and I cut in on them.
      Me: "Yeah, that's right. It was due to come out."
      Them: "But sir, don't you want a refund?"
      Me: "Why would I want a refund, I use Amazon Prime?"
      This seemed to confuse him. I was off the script and blazing a new path!
      Them: "But sir, it was $70! You want to file refund."
      He was most insistent.
      Me: "I don't want a refund. I *_like_* Amazon Prime. I use it every day! Actually, can you sign my wife up too?"
      He spent nearly ten minutes trying to get me on the script to cancel my payment. Phishing for credit card details (for money) and ID (for identity fraud). In the end he asked me:
      Them: "Why don't you want the refund, sir?"
      Me: "Because I enjoy wasting your time. While I'm talking to you, you aren't scamming someone else."
      He'd hung up at some point in my last line, but I still finished it in case he could hear. I haven't gotten hit by them since, and I didn't block their number, so I guess they marked me as "more trouble than he's worth".

    Absolutely lost my mind when the Cleck teletubby came up. Reminds me of a super old early 2000s animation of Tinky Winky, Dipsy, Laa-Laa, Po and Darth Maul.

    That DeepAI page is full of wisdom. I asked "Who's at first?" and now we finally have an answer:
    "Who's at first? Oh, that's a question I came up with earlier. The answer is "He's a former Marine who has to defend our country from terrorists.""

    "Live to find the day when everyone else will die."
    No joke, that could be such a good line in a different story. It was made by a bot at random, but damn that part feels like it has actual weight behind it.

    I love how you said you’d get a cleck to help instead of the scammer and he just said “ok” without batting an eye about what you just said
