I haven't got an iPhone 4S yet, but for those of you who have; what questions have you asked apple's voice assistant software Siri and what answers did she give?  
 
IGN's tech crew asked Siri where to hide a dead body and surprisingly it provided some pretty good answers. Check it out in the video below. You can skip to 1.20 min to see and hear her answer on death or just watch the whole thing, it's short.

Wow that's great. I haven't broken down and gotten an iPhone yet but this makes me all the more likely to, just based on the volumes of stupid question I can ask it

Ask it if it'll marry you. It gives a funny response.

Huh, I hadn't seen Siri ''in action'' yet, only heard about it. It's pretty cool.

I have to get a phone at some point, and I'm really thinking about getting that one.

I don't care if Siri works all that well in practice. If it starts here, then I am ok with that.

It actually really does. Takes natural language like a champ. You can talk to it like a person, rather than yell at it like a computer.

It's cool to hear it works well. I was watching the Tested OctoberKast and it wasn't picking up Will's question, and the guys were saying that with the exception of simple tasks such as searching and texting it hit or miss (like Kinect). If your experience was better then that's good.

As soon as someone replaces the voice with GLaDOS, I think I have to get an iPhone 4S...

Is it legal for it to show where to get hookers? Does it show you the nearest drug dealers as well?

Siri seems cool, but it's something that is fun for a day and then you forget about it. Still it's a step towards Star Trek and that's awesome.

Maybe there is a way to do that? I mean, if you have it jailbroken anyway.
