I call upon The Voice, as he can state that I am, indeed a 
human.  And...  I have pictures.

Plus...  I can prove I am not a machine, which is part of 
the Turing test.  Or, I am not a mindless thing, and 
people can confuse me for a human, were I indeed not 
human.  Which I am.  My logic is extremely faulty. 
Nonfaulty logic is a signature trait of machines.

That and you've responded to my witty and somewhat 
sarcastic posts as you would to any other witty and 
sarcastic post.  With wit and sarcasm.  If I am indeed a 
computer, I have already passed the Turing test, as there 
is no...  Er...  Quantifier?  Anyways.  It says I don't 
need to be human.  I just need to be passable as such.

Cats are not passable as human.  Fully effective AIs, on 
the other hand, are.  So whether or not I am an AI, I have 
passed your test.

I play the game.
