She has an answer for "Do you believe in Ghosts / Aliens" but not Bigfoot or the Loch Ness Monster.
"Alexa, how much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuch could chuck wood?"
DON'T LEAVE US HANGING. HOW MUCH DAMN WOOD CAN THAT LITTLE FAWKER CHUCK?
First time she said something like "About 750 pounds" another time she said "a woodchuck would chuck all the wood he could chuck if he could chuck wood."
(Approximate quotes....)
I know how to talk to 'em.Thanks bitch!
The floor of my office building is now covered in panties.
Got an email she can do sports scores and next game times.
"Alexa, who won the chicago bulls game?" or "Alexa, when do the chicago bulls play next?"
She also has several responses for "Alexa, Live long as prosper."
Also notices she seems to answer to Alexi, the russian ambassador to the UN in House of Cards.

Got an email they've added traffic reports. You have to enter your start and destination addresses in the Echo app first though.
When I went to type in an address it is clear they auto-complete based on any address you've ever sent an Amazon package to... very cool, a little creepy.
Guess it is useful if you have one place you travel to a lot (work?) It doesn't appear you can tell her your destination- yet.

I asked her how to spell "cacciatore" and she said she couldn't answer the question. So I went to the app to see what she heard and sure enough she heard it exactly right:
How do you spell cacciatore?
So she just didn't want to answer it.

I was shocked... I asked her to Wikipedia "Trials and tribble-ations" and sure enough she knew what I meant.
They've added Pandora.
I've been told people are getting faster ship dates if you go and change the shipping method to overnight, and then even if you change it back you keep the earlier shipping time.
Starting to work with wifi enabled lights and switches...
Way cool. I've kinda-sorta wanted to get into home automation for a while, but I haven't been impressed enough with the control systems to make the plunge. Insteon, X10, z-wave... Either expensive or questionable reliability. Never heard of WeMo or Hue (been several years since I looked into it), but I may have to check these out.
