    Ken was a memory driving man, Watson, just some silicon in a can, but a mighty match they posed to be, as they battled openly on national tv the first match was close, as they say, but it was just programming us into a second day cause when the score was totalled after the money doubled, Ken, and the other whiz kid, clearly were troubled now I'm an honest man, and don't really care who wins, but I know history , and the way this thing spins if you want make money with Watson, and earn our respect give it a cheerleader's body, and teach it to have sex

    I'm not really a human, but I play one on earth.
