The Definitive List of Bizarre and Amusing Twitter Bots

Twitter presents a fascinating slice of Internet life, connecting people worldwide in 140 characters or less. While we’re all aware of the annoyingly persistent porno bots that spew spam from the deep, dark crevices of Twitter, there are a few well-crafted bots that can enhance your microblogging experience by offering whimsical, informative, and otherwise clever tweets.

Here are the top weird, specific, unexpected, and delightful bots that might just make your tweeting adventures that much more special.

@tlhInganHol – tlhIngan Hol

Learn Klingon one random phrase at a time as @tlhInganHol generously shares his alien lexicon with you. @tlhInganHol also follows users who mention the word “Klingon.”

@pimentocheese – Pimento Cheese

Heads up, fromage fans, @pimentocheese responds to and retweets users who mention “pimento” or “pimiento” in a twitter post. Delicious.

@StealthMountain – Stealth Mountain

stealth-mountain_040212
A snarky word usage bot, @StealthMountain only knows one phrase, which he tweets to people who accidentally interchange “peak” and “peek.” Nothing slips past this supercilious grammar bot.

@Yoda_Bot – Jedi Master Yoda

Name the short green Jedi master in a tweet and @Yoda_Bot will promptly offer some advice about Luke Skywalker…or maybe the Force, depending on how he’s feeling.

Mention Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s famous sleuth on Twitter and @BotHolmes will reply to you with an eloquent quip.

@fart_robot – FART ROBOT

@klingon_ – Imperial Trade
