Which reminds me of a story.

Seems the Navy developed a very advanced computer that needed some testing, so they entered the words "Theory of Relativity"; and the computer, enabled with voice ability, responded with a very thorough and very erudite explanation of the theory, its origins and its implictions.

Excited now the testers decided to check its middle range intelligence by entering "current assessment of popular culture, including literature, stage, and movies". The machine responded with gratifying results, knowledgeably discussing important aspects of the prevailing state of the arts and their impact on society..

Greatly delighted by the computer's demonstrated capabilites thus shown, the examiners chose test the machines full capability by setting its intelligence level at its lowest level, pushed enter, and the computer immediately began singing, "From the Halls of Montezuma, to the shores..."
