You know nothing, Siri.

Warning: Game of Thrones spoilers everywhere.

Some questions are so deeply shrouded in mystery that not even Siri has the answers.

Take Jon Snow, for instance. Despite the massive barrage of clues and hints we've had over the last 10 months, no one -- aside from George R.R. Martin, the Game of Thrones cast, and maybe those who saw the show's sixth season premiere Sunday night -- knows for sure what's going on.

Siri has clearly become so numb to the question that -- as Scandal star Kerry Washington recently noticed -- it's even started cracking jokes.

Hang on a minute, though. Is that a bit of creative photoshopping, or does Siri actually know Game of Thrones well enough to drop puns?

Here's what happened when we tested it out.

The first attempt didn't go exactly according to play.

The second go wasn't much better, either.

On attempt number three, though, things started to look up.

Yep: That's Siri busting out some genuine Game of Thrones quotes. Martin would be proud.

Finally, here's proof that the image in Washington's tweet is indeed genuine.

Wonder if Siri knows any more Game of Thrones jokes?
