Me: @GeorgetheDev what is tritium?
George: @Nathan [link to "Tritium" article on Wikipedia]
Me: @GeorgetheDev what is (12 + 2) * 3?
George: @Nathan 42

He can also lookup manpages, perform ping and dig lookups, etc.

Update

George the Dev originally began as a small experiment named "FlackBot". Due to increased difficulty maintaining the experiment and a few "incidents" in the chat rooms, FlackBot was abandoned for a couple of years. I recently rewrote the "brains" of the bot and gave it a new name. It is now back up and running.

Update: ...aaaand is now back down for maintenance :(
