Dancing Chicken
Today I randomly came across this site. It's Burger King commercial causing "awareness" of their new chicken sandwiches. It's a webcam of a dancing chicken. You can type in commands and the chicken follows it.
Since I doubt there's actually someone there dancing 24/7 and reading your commands and doing them, it's probably some pretty good programming behind it. It recognizes simple commands such as "sit", "scratch", "dance" and such. I've also tried more complex commands, and it followed some. I was impressed by it following the "kick the couch" command.

that's pretty funny... strange... but funny...
my god that is old! :)
I know, I just found out about it yesterday.
Evan, do you know how the programming behind it is done? Does it just have 100 commands it follows, and try to match whatever you command with the closest command it recognizes?
Do you get kickbacks from Burger King for linking to that?
No, I don't
