Har har.
Actually, if you treated everything I've published online or in the
Extropian archives as the database, you could probably get some
interesting answers. Or even more interesting answers if you treated
the 'Net as your database. I think the 'Net is large enough for purely
syntactic question-answering to yield interesting effects - in a sense,
that's what I do every time I launch a search.
I'm not sure whether "Ask Jeeves" has an interpreted 'Net database, but
I don't think so - they're still launching metasearches with other
engines, which implies they don't have an engine of their own. Yet.
