I was looking at the collection of funny Siri responses on Siriously Weird and saw this:
Unfortunately there's no explanation saying what question was asked... but I thought it was funny to see mention of 'Eliza' on there. Does anyone else remember Eliza? It was a pretty basic text-based AI simulator, which I had on a 1991 Macintosh Classic. Had probably many hours of circular and pointless conversations with that thing! Anyway, I just thought it was funny that Siri makes reference to it.
EDIT: Turns out you can get it here for OSX (probably PPC)

Absolutely! I had Eliza on my Apple ][+.
Most memorable line, "Come, come, elucidate your thoughts."

It comes up if you say "tell me a story" repeatedly. A lot of the other funny responses also only appear after the 3rd time you ask the same question.
