tyto2820 - For suggesting the feature "time of a city"
EvaBot is inspired from another bot called mama_pendse which i
used long back. I really liked the idea of such a bot but i did
not know the internal working of mama_pendse bot. I developed
EvaBot to get over my curiosity of how these bot works and
also because mama_pendse bot was not working anymore. EvaBot
borrows some ideas from mama_pendse and other bots but its
implementation is completely my own work.

would return results in a format as below:
Multiple cities are found. Please select one.

Weather Bellevue, Idaho, United States::USID0018
Weather Bellevue, Iowa, United States::USIA0071

In this case, to see the weather in Bellevue, Washington, send the whole line
i.e. "Weather Bellevue, Washington, United States::USWA0027" again. You need to
make sure that the code (i.e. USWA0027 in our example) is also included otherwise
weather information won't be found.
