Anyone ever get this? Most random and crazy conversation I just had on AIM.
From Wikipedia:
Coho botsOn September 5, 2008, users began to report being contacted by bots with names of the form "<adjective>Coho".[24] For example, InstinctiveCoho, ArmoredCoho, GloriousCoho, DancingCoho, RipplingCoho, TornCoho, PolygonalCoho, SaltyCoho, and PassionateCoho. Coho bots respond when Project Upstream's connection request site is used. Since this Web site previously solicited a response from Salmon and Trout bots, this indicates that they're essentially the same bot. Another suggestive factor is the fact that Coho are a type of Salmon.
Brief on how it works:
TheGreatHatsby[1][2] is an AIM bot which instigates conversations between pairs of AIM accounts. Its name is a play on words from the book The Great Gatsby. It is a relay bot that retrieves the list of most recent LiveJournal posts and obtains the AIM screen names of their authors. It then sends users the message "i say, old bean, have you seen my hat?" from one of its screen names.I don't have a LiveJournal account which is the weirdest part.

I'm going to do this to myself, because I realize what a lack of contribution this was:
