20q.net? Kinda scary. Got an angel in 23 questions (despite my odd answers sometimes... can you use it recreationally? Can you use it with your friends?) and dreamcatcher in 26.

Some stuff, however, you might not have known about dreamcatchers...

20q.net scares me, too. I once tried to stump it with "Sirius Black" and it came up, after only having asked me one question relating to animals at all, with a Newfoundland. Freaked me out.

I used to have computer program that did that, on my old Apple //e.

It's fun!

This is sort of my fault, isn't it? (I was just amused by the panties thing.)

The really scary thing about the things we probably didn't know about dreamcatchers is that (probably) nobody told it these things. It just pays attention to what things have in common with other things, and tries to figure it out for itself. (I'm very impressed with the program, in case you couldn't tell.)

Once, it told me that while I was playing with it it figured out a new piece of info all on its own: that floss isn't spontaneous. Which, you know, *patpat* Okaaay, computer program... But that's actually quite a leap for a bunch of ones and zeroes to make.

Er, yeah. Feel free to ignore me. I get this excited about hypercubes and 'intelligent' vacuum cleaners and stuff too.

Your icon is delightfully geeky, I approve. *grins*

It's absolutely your fault, but not in that bad way. Personally, I am impressed and a leeeeedle disturbed...

*snerks back at yours*

Is that the Weasley twin?

Thanks!

As you should be. *points out that the game got the 'flat' bit right* It won all sorts of awards for AI.

PS. If you register, you can make it guess all manner of non-PG rated objects. I haven't, but you seem to be getting such enjoyment out of this...

[minkhollow]

Presumably, yes. It was too good to pass up.
