The iphone 4S is due for release on October 14, 2011. With Apple’s massive advertising campaigns and the crowd’s eagerness to get their hands on the new iphone, the new iphone 4S will certainly be a hot item for a month or so.

One specific feature that is particularly interesting is Siri, an iphone 4S software that also serves as a personal assistant. It can type text messages for you, set appointments and reminders. It also answers many questions such as things about the weather, the nearest restaurants or the traffic.

Now, Siri is an intelligent software. But, I bet that, coupled with the human’s enigmatic ways of asking questions, we will find a way to baffle Siri’s circuitry into giving us funny answers. It will just be a matter of time that something comes up involving Siri Questions and Siri Answers (silly questions and silly answers).

In anticipation of Siri’s debut, some websites even prepared questions that they will ask. Some of these range from gaming to funny questions about Siri itself.

What’s fascinating about Siri, aside from the fact that you can ask it to do some tasks, is that it can also answer questions based from Wolfram Alpha, an answer engine from Wolfram Research with a lot of stored facts. I just wonder how to meddle with them so I can ask Siri.
