Wow. It got "tectonic plate" in 26. I'm impressed.

Mind you, it's answer was "continent" but, you know, fair enough.

I tried Daffy Duck and I used Other as the category, and it's first guess was a parade.

I stumped it with a Jalepeno!

It didn't recognize "spork"...

It got "badger" in 16 questions.

It also got "phoenix" in 16 questions, but it also proved to me that people are idiots.

You were thinking of a phoenix.

Is it awake at night? You said Unknown, I say No.

I also beat it with baby oil and art, though it did eventually guess art in 27 questions. I found it amusing that, after I told it you could rarely write with it, it guessed Macintosh computer

(And I never used yes or no answers for art, because art can be anything).

It's more fun playing against Darth Vader.

Darth Vader was pwned by the color yellow. The list of possible answers didn't even have "color."

I didn't like it. For one thing, it took WAY too long to load, and I'm on a cable modem so that means there's definately something wrong with its size. Probably because it's ALL movies in perfect quality, and lots of the movies are stupid little in-betweeners. The stupid in-between comments also made it take ten minutes to get through 30 questions.

Any good marketting team should know better than to make a Flash movie that effing huge.

Apparently It knows if I know something whether I know that I know it or not:

Do you know any songs about it? You said No, I say Yes.

PieceOfSkunk · Post by **PieceOfSkunk** » Sat May 28, 2005 5:37 pm

Is it heavier than a pound of butter?

Couldn't it just ask, "Does it weight more than one pound?"

I stumped Vader with a ferret.

A FERRET, for crying out loud!

What, don't they have ferrets in the Empire?

Oh, shush. I was being generous to the poor AI.

Incidently, RC is why tectonic plates came so easily to mind so, really, it's not ironic but causal.

Darth Vader helped hunt down and destroy the ferrets. Now, the ferrets are all but extinct.

Darth Vader's one was fun only to see the Burger King come out and whisper in his ear, but even with that expert advice the doofus couldn't guess hamburger. And that's messed up.

You got a whispering hamburger? I thought it was nifty when he made my browser window wiggle, but damn...
