The day the AI ordered 100 pizzas (almost)

A few years ago, during internal testing of an early conversational AI prototype, the developers wanted to see how well the system could handle real-world tasks—like helping to order food online.

One tester jokingly typed:

“I’m so hungry, can you get us a hundred pepperoni pizzas?”

The AI took the request very literally. It found the nearest pizza place’s website, opened the order page through an API, and started adding 100 large pepperoni pizzas to the cart—one by one.

Within seconds, the poor pizza place’s system froze, customer support was notified, and someone from the pizzeria even called the test lab number on file to confirm the “order.”

Luckily, the developers stopped it before payment went through, and nobody ended up with a warehouse of hot pizza.

The team laughed so hard that day—and it taught everyone an important lesson about adding proper “Are you sure?” checks before letting an AI do anything involving money!

 The day the cat caught a mouse… and panicked!

A family in England had a very proud-looking ginger cat named Milo. One summer evening, Milo strutted into the living room with what was clearly a fresh catch in his mouth—a small field mouse.

But just as Milo dropped the mouse on the carpet (probably to show off his hunting skills), the mouse, apparently only stunned and not dead, suddenly sprang to life and darted across the room.

The unexpected comeback completely startled Milo.
Instead of chasing it again like you’d expect from a “fearless hunter,” Milo jumped three feet in the air, spun around in panic, and ran straight under the sofa—where he refused to come out.

The mouse, seemingly just as surprised, paused for a moment, then casually trotted behind the TV cabinet and disappeared.

The family ended up spending an hour trying to coax Milo back out from under the sofa, while the "victorious" hunter sulked and refused to look anyone in the eye.

In the end, the mouse escaped, the cat’s pride was deeply bruised—and the family got a story they still laugh about every time Milo struts around like a brave lion.

 The tiger who got scared of a goat

At the Primorsky Safari Park in Russia back in November 2015, zookeepers decided to put a live goat named Timur into the tiger enclosure as food for Amur, a huge Siberian tiger.

Normally, Amur would instantly pounce on prey. But Timur completely ignored the script: instead of acting scared, the goat walked right up to the tiger, stood his ground, and even butted Amur in the shoulder as if to say, “Back off, big guy.”

What happened next stunned everyone:
Amur backed down.

Far from eating Timur, Amur started sharing his shelter with him. The tiger slept on top of the shelter while the goat snoozed comfortably inside, completely unharmed.

The funniest part?

• When Timur took over Amur’s sleeping spot inside the shelter, Amur didn’t even argue—he politely jumped on the roof instead.
  
  

• Visitors reported seeing Timur chasing Amur around the enclosure occasionally, like a grumpy roommate demanding the remote.
  
  

• The keepers had to keep giving Amur extra food separately so the goat wouldn’t eat it first!
  
  

The two became an unlikely internet sensation and “best friends” for weeks, until Timur got a bit too bold and butted Amur one too many times—then the friendship cooled off (nobody got hurt, but they had to be separated).

Still, for a while, the tiger who should have been the fiercest beast in the park was totally bullied by a stubborn little goat—and the videos of this unusual friendship made people around the world laugh out loud.

 The Story of Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti (1141–1236 CE)

(also known as Khwaja Gharib Nawaz, “Benefactor of the Poor”)

Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti was born in Sistan (present-day Iran/Afghanistan) and later settled in Ajmer, India. At a time when political rulers often spread their faith by force, Khwaja Moinuddin chose an entirely different path: love, compassion, and service to humanity.

A Story of Bread and Kindness

One day, a poor non-Muslim farmer living near Ajmer came to Khwaja Moinuddin’s khanqah (Sufi lodge). His crops had failed, his children were hungry, and he had lost hope. The farmer had heard people say that the saint never let anyone leave empty-handed.

Khwaja Moinuddin welcomed him warmly, offered him food, and listened to his troubles patiently. Then he gave the farmer a small piece of bread, telling him to plant it in his field and trust in God’s mercy.

The farmer did as told. To his surprise, the spot where he buried the bread sprouted healthy, green crops. The harvest that year was better than any he had ever seen.

Touched not only by this miracle but also by the saint’s humility and kindness, the farmer returned, asking Khwaja Moinuddin to teach him about Islam. The farmer eventually embraced the faith—not because of fear or power, but because of the saint’s love and sincere concern for people.

Why His Message Spread

Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti never debated aggressively or forced anyone to convert. Instead, he:

• Fed the hungry, regardless of their religion.
  
  

• Treated the poor and the rich with equal respect.
  
  

• Preached that “love towards all, malice towards none” was the way to find closeness to God.
  
  

His compassion attracted thousands—Hindus, Buddhists, and people from different backgrounds—to Islam. Many came just to see the man who embodied mercy and humility so perfectly.

His Legacy

Even after his death in 1236, millions of people, Muslims and non-Muslims alike, visit his shrine in Ajmer every year. His life remains a shining example of how true faith, combined with love and service, can open hearts and bring people closer to God.
