Plugin Title: CrazyWiseBot
by aminallam

Overview: Would you like to make a funny conversation? Send a message to "CrazyWiseBot" containing whatever you like to say in English. CrazyWiseBot is wise, he tells only proverbs and wise sayings. However, he is crazy, what he says does not have any relation to what you say. But "CrazyWiseBot" thinks that it has a relation, so you will get the same response if you tell him the same thing twice. Hmmm, but what is the fun with this? I will not tell you. Try it, and tell your friends about the funny conversations which you will come up with!
