I'm sure most of you have heard of 20Q where you're asked to think of something then asked questions about it giving yes or no answers, well this is similar to that except it's for people/characters, for example Suzumiya Haruhi or Tom Cruise.
I found it off /tg/ and still trying to think of an obscure character to use, it even guessed the main character off Yume Nikki.

I tried plugging in Molly from Oban Star Racers and it didn't get it ;)

It failed when I thought of "God." I think the whole, having a son who died AND also being that son threw off the system. :)

Did it ask that (those) question(s), Walrii?

I fooled him with Steve Zissou.

It did ask if the person I was thinking of was Jewish. God isn't Jewish, but his son Jesus was (is?) but he is his son... *mind explodes.*

I tried putting in Sim9, and though it didn't get Sim9, it came up with something really clever if you fill out the questions for yourself ("Your Shadow")

I dunno. I couldn't get it to work without a login, and no thank you.

I had to use Internet Explorer (shudder) to get it to work. Pretty awesome find as usual, Neo. +10 :)

That too. Note to web developers out there: If your **** ain't standards compliant (or in the very least, cross-browser compatible), I'm not going to continue with your website. Not unless it is vital to an objective I must accomplish - like updating Windows, or sending my Rock Band 2 guitar to EA for a replacement.

Really? Works fine for me with Chrome.

[Pythagora]

Yeah, it worked for me in Chrome. I didn't try Firefox.
