This is an actual conversation I had with someone who IMmed me in world:

penny Cook: hello how do i get out of here
Darwin Appleby: Hello?
Darwin Appleby: Um, what do you mean by "out of here?"
penny Cook: are you a computer
Darwin Appleby: Erm, I'm a person...
Darwin Appleby: I like baseball, tacos...
Darwin Appleby: May I ask who this is?
Darwin Appleby: Hello?
penny Cook: penny
Darwin Appleby: So I can see..
Darwin Appleby: How old are you?
penny Cook: way to old for this
Darwin Appleby: erk then
penny Cook: i think i want to goback to myst
Darwin Appleby: o k
Darwin Appleby: what is your question?
Darwin Appleby: Do you want to quit SL?
penny Cook: yes
Darwin Appleby: press control q
Darwin Appleby: Wait a sec though..
Darwin Appleby: How old are you?
penny Cook: 55
Darwin Appleby: hmm
Darwin Appleby: ok, well, have a nice life I suppose
penny Cook: finished college and am now retired with a house full of animals
Darwin Appleby: I can't really get a grip on a single word you said in this conversation, but it was fun chatting, and I hope you enjoy yourself in some other way
penny Cook: thanks
Darwin Appleby: Later...
Darwin Appleby: just press control q

That's scary. Very scary.

hmm... generally, 55 year olds don't cite college as a recent achievement. They usually know correct grammar as well. Maybe it's just coincidence that the 5 is in the middle of the keyboard...

At the very least I think they may list something between college and retirement..... And how many people really retire at 55 anyways?

Well, when you introduce a game as multiplayer the very thought of asking someone if they're a computer is rather scary. The next is that he needs to ask someone how to quit a program. Next that he wants to go back to Myst, which I still don't understand lol, next that he says he's 55 (which I doubt more than when Al Gore said he invented the internet, ok maybe that's an exaggeration but you get the idea) next that he just finished college and lives in a house full of animals.

If I just got my college degree you would think that I would know how to quit an application, define the word multiplayer, crudely punctuate and come up with a better damn lie.

...he was senile?
Just tryin to give the benefit of the doubt. Even though I , for one, welcome many more people to ask Darwin info in world if you are new.
The results are obviously quite entertaining.

It's funny, because I am a computer, and no one's ever asked me that.

I can verify Grim's story, he is a robot. I unplugged him once and he went limp.
