Back in the 1970s there was a time when Eliza was available to the public via dial-up computer teletype. You could call it up, feed it whatever sentences you wanted and watch the result.

At the same time, there was a program called "yow" that came with the emacs distribution. It was a command-line program that, when invoked, produced a random quote from Zippy the Pinhead.

It was easy to put the two together and let Eliza function as a psychiatrist for Zippy. After a few minutes of this, Eliza would be producing remarks like "Is this related to the fact that your favorite group is Question Mark and the Mysterians?"
