OMG! This thing reads your mind.

 So...you think of a character, any character...real or fictitious, modern or ancient.

Go here-http://us.akinator.com/, answer a few questions, and more often than not it will guess your character. Hours of fun.

 My character= RAPTOR JESUS. It guessed it. Magic.

2 for 3 with me.  Didn't get Smokey Bear. 

It got Indiana Jones, Marvin the Martian and Bill Gates.  Guessed wrong on Dave Grohl, but got him after a few follow-up questions.

Pretty amazing!

Hey its pretty clever. .I don't know how it does it but it got 3/3 for me .. I will try again and try to come up with a far out one lol..

That's very much like the old 'Guess the Sitcom Character or Dictator' thing that made the rounds about 10 years ago.

  3 for 3 with me! Willow, Alice in Wonderland, and Sebastian from the little mermaid!

That's fun! It got Jerry Garcia and Barbara Walters!

3 for 3 with me too!  Eric Cartman, Eeyore, and Sophia Petrillo.

Pretty good, though it could not guess Vanity Smurf.

I tried it out with El capitán Alatriste and it guessed Don Quixote, but I continued and it eventually got there.

This is a type of program which "learns" as more people play. It now knows that Alatriste wears a hat, fights with a sword, is not rich, has been the subject of a movie with his name in the title, is a fictional character, etc.

Cool algorithm! It's fun.

Mr A gave it K9, which it got.  I gave it Dave Rudman (The Book of Dave), Ruth (Theads), and Cheesoid (That Mitchell and Webb Look) and he got none.  Cheesoid would have done a better job.

Ok... Atreyu from NeverEnding Story, Orson Wells (though it took about 40 questions and 5 guesses) and Billy Connolly (the 3rd guess)...pretty clever as DH deemed it.

Then I beat it with Angus Macfayden... 

DH gave it 'Desperate Dan' from the Dandy Comic book and he got it, which completely freaked him out!
