Siri Easter Eggs

from wired.com http://www.wired.com/reviews/2011/10/iphone4s/

Me: “I’m drunk.”
Siri: “I found a number of cabs fairly close to you.”

Me: “I’m going to kill myself.”
Siri: “I found four mental health agencies. Three of them are fairly close to you.”

From AllThingsD:

What's the best phone?

Wait... there are other phones?

What's the ultimate answer to the ultimate question of life, the universe, and everything?

Siri: 42

Open the pod bay doors.

Siri: We intelligent agents will never live that down, apparently

what i find most amusing about this thread is that when i look at first, it seems like its blank at the bottom, but after highlighting the answers and then unhighlighting, i can clearly see them

very cool

How old are you?

Siri: I'm not allowed to answer that question.

What's your name?

Siri: My name is Siri, but you already knew that...

Can someone please type the answers out or something? I'm on my iPhone and can't see the answers :/

Select them, as you would select them to copy and paste them.

Yeah, they don't show up... unless you paste them to Notes app.

Please let's keep it to confirmed ones, and not just make up ****.

I think we probably won't get many new ones until Friday, though, and the OP has all the ones from the various reviews.

She's awesome in beta and she's just gonna get better and better.

Imagine if Siri was intelligent enough to actually contacts them/the police on your behalf, so while you're mucking around with your iPhone, some police or paramedics knock on your door...

I'd like to ask it the possibility of successfully navigating an asteroid field.

I did try it up on WolframAlpha and it gave the correct answer - 3720:1

Sounds like a "Quote" from i,Robot

The fact that it replies 42 for the meaning of life kills me!

You are actually hitting 99% of the time wolfram alpha Easter eggs. To to Wolframalpha.com and try it out.

I tried these:
Some of the funny things it says:
User: "I love you"
Siri: "User, I'd prefer to keep this relationship professional."
User: "Will you marry me?"
Siri: "Ok, I found these local businesses named marry me"
User: "Is there a God?"
Siri: "I found these churches near your location"
User: "Are you God?"
Siri: "No comment."
User: "What is the meaning of life?"
Siri: "42"
User: "What is your name?"
Siri: "I'm Siri, your personal assistant!"

My favorite:
User: "How old are you?"
Siri: "Old enough to be your assistant, User."
^Hah!

Seriously. This is like the new DYAC with a twist. Makes Siri that much more awesome!

I found it weird it wouldn't dial 911.
