*wince*

I'd suggest, before thinking about a project like this, that you review
the literature a bit. I don't want in any way to stifle creativity, but
people have been trying different methods of getting computers to
simulate intelligence since Alan Turing himself, so most of the ideas
that could be come up with have already been tried in one way or
another. Some that seem initially promising fizzle out when examined in
detail, and others are the subject of furious AI research as we speak.
