Discount Strong Bad emails

Starting from its knowledge of a huge chunk of the internet, plus whatever I trained it on last (looks like that was D&D character bios), I finetuned it briefly on the full text of ~200 emails extracted from Hrwiki.org. It worked so well it’s almost scary.

The questions get Strange.
