Do the droll little comments that appear in the upper right do so randomly?

Or are they actually somehow related to tracking flutherers—like if you’ve been on inordinately long—a message like “Isn’t that your mother calling you for dinner” and if you just got a laugh out of someone or if a discussion you are in is getting intense and interesting “Would you have this dance with me?” I’d like to know more about fluther-tracking. Is it just a machine that knows 2 are typing answers and 8 are watching or do people pay attention?

You look good today, but your desk is a mess.

It’s the fluther Leprechaun. It sits there (together with it’s team of elves, sprites and the odd nymph or two) monitoring jelly comments. It then pulls out the appropriate little bon mot. Of course, Leprechaun humor being what it is, these little witticisms often don’t make sense to mere mortals.
Shhhh, I’m not supposed to tell, but… I’m Fluthers’ favorite.
They are random, but sometimes seem quite a propos, don’t they?
Fluther loves my style so I am happy with whatever “droll” comment pops up!
@Trillian They told me that they would say that to you, but I was really, really their favorite.
And it is, indeed, true, that my hair looks good today.
They just told me; “Ahoy, matey”. They know I was in the navy.
@marinelife sort of like a fortuneteller’s generalities. I wonder if Facebook’s Anita the online psychic works in the same random fashion?
You are being watched at all times through the camera on your laptop. Don’t Fluther nude. When you get to 10K, you get the code to watch other people.
What I’d like to know is this, where is that bloody cake they’ve promised me so many times… ?
@Adagio the chupacabra you don’t look like ate it.
The bon mots are like a magic 8-ball only there are more of them. There are myriad party games or touchy-feely executive stress warmup activities that could be played with them. I’m collecting them. I just learned a new word. Chupacabra.
