"I never said she stole my money"

Depending on how you emphasize the words in this sentence it can have 7 different meanings! Cool. I came across this little tidbit when reading a NYT article about the challenges IBM faces in preparing a computer to compete against a human opponent in Jeopardy. Accessing information is one thing but understanding the complex relationships between information and the nuances of language make this quite a task. Look out Ken Jennings!
