Waving With The Bots

"First, What is Google Wave?"

"What are bots, why add them?"
Before going into paranoia attack, Bots in Google Wave are very useful little Wave extensions. Each bot has a certain use ranging from useful to just plain fun.

"How do I add a bot?"
Bots are to be added in contacts first and then added to a Wave as you add contacts/friends to a wave.

Now Below is the mega-list of bots I could find. [Will be updated as I find more. Suggest more in comments if you find any.]
