This bot is based upon blootbot, which was a fork of infobot-0.44.2 by
Kevin Lenzo <lenzo@cs.cmu.edu>, which is now officially rebranded back to
infobot! The basis of infobot is still there but _many_ wild features have
-been added. Along the way, a couple of typos were spotted in the original
-infobot source and fixed in this version. Without infobot, there would be no
-blootbot, and thus no infobot again, so all thanks to kevin for bringing
-infobot in the first place.
