How many legs on a camel?

Seems like a question a 13 year old in any country could answer.

Similarly, if you ask it something that requires human knowledge to answer, even child like human knowledge, chatbot's don't ever have good answers. For example, I ask:

   If I drop a pencil, what will happen?
A valid human like response could be:

    - Um... it falls?
    - It bounces on it's rubber tip
    - It drops
Each of those answers require a pretty basic level of human knowledge, but I've yet to see a chatbot that gives anywhere close to a good answer.

Eugene Goostman replies:

    I have to think about that some more :-)) Was that a fruitful conversation?
Cleverbot replies:

    I didn't say you don't have a head.
Neither are things a human would ever respond with, but the question is a totally normal question (if odd).
