think of a character, real or fictional, and this program will guess it

My friends swear it's amazing, I swear that it might actually be a little bit lame - I was thinking of Shipwreck and it came up with "GI Joe" which is a bit too broad, then I thought of Dave Gorman and it guessed Polish politician Krzysztof Bosak. Then I thought of Richard Herring, and it guessed Charlie Brooker.

It's weird... sometimes it guesses VERY obscure charas an other times it fails with better known ones; I was thinking about Teela (from MOTU) and it guessed somebody from Touhou Project (what's that?)

it worked for me.. i thought "unfunny twat" and it came up with Ricky Gervais, so i don't think it's that bad.

I'm not sure what it means, but me too! (i think! if it means that it's rather funny and made one chuckle [or words to that effect!])

PS - what is it with me and brackets today???? I'm obsessed! (It seems. [and not just today]).

It didn't get Metroplex though. But it did get Brain from Pinky and the Brain, the smug bastard.
