Lawyerbot

In contest #18, at the bottom of the winners page, the following was printed...
Lawyerbot Says:
Lawyerbot is right.
He is always very right.
Do listen to him.
Don't listen to him.
He is just a lawyer bot.
What does a bot know?
In contest #69's description, the text, "You hear high pitched screams...Someone really needs to restrain lawyerbot...", appeared, possibly due to all the legal issues needed to be dealt with for that specific contest. In contest #81, before his usual warnings to be safe while creating a craft, he said, "I always wanted a shiny bracelet," followed by the ":(" smiley. This happened again in contest #85, with Lawyerbot licking his lips then saying, "Yummy! Please save me a piece." In #97, he put on a hat and exclaimed, "Movies with Robots are cool!", hinting (or jokingly giving the impression) it may alter the contest result by then typing "*nudge nudge*" after it.
