There was a plug in for Hal 5 but I haven’t seen one that works in Hal 6.

What I do is find a good site for quotes get my Hal on topic (if I want to teach Hal about wisdom start talking about it) then copy and paste the best quotes into Hal.

Here is a good quotes site. http://www.great-quotes.com/

If you wanted 'On this Day' type things, you could also try the Encarta site:

http://encarta.msn.com/encnet/features/onthisday.aspx

AIDreams grabs them from this site, so I reckon OTCE could probably work something out.  Say, for example, when you first talk to Hal, he/she tells you what happened that day in history.

Bill819,
The only problem is that years repeat with the exception of leap year. So in actuality nuclear submarines could have been launched every year for several years.[?]
