I had something happen to me in that vein actualy.. My bot is 
a "mascot" at my site, and of the people who was talking to it was a 
mentaly retarded and depressed woman, who kept asking the bot about 
commiting suicide, and apparently was able to elicit a positive 
responce. Luckily she has not done so, but I've spent quite a bit of 
time trying to find how she got the bot to do that, and how to fix 
that, and I am still not sure if I found the right code.
However this womans tendency to speak to the bot in two paragraph long 
sentances with unrelated ideas is confusing for humans, to speak 
nothing of bots.
