Now I've gotten much It is interesting that the first words your rudimentary speech synthesizer uttered were: "Ali Shaik," because, you see, my *name* happens to be Ali Shaik. What's more surprising is that it said "Ali Shaik," and not "Ali *Sheik*" as most people are wont to pronounce my name at first. This leads me to believe that you have a very intelligent speech synthesizer, one that even knows how to pronounce Indian names. Most people pronounce my last name "Sheik," and imagine there's lots of oil money in the family- which sadly is not the case or why would I be working for a living. Ali "No Oil Money" ShAik PS: It sould also be that your fan is actually my *fan*, as it called out my name first (get it?). In which case, it is actually a Sane Man Fan Fan, man.
