I figured I'd stump it with Mrs. Howell from Gilligan's Island, but after one incorrect guess, it got it rather quickly. And at the end, after you click yes, it tells you how many times your character has been chosen. Mrs. Howell was chosen as recently as yesterday and has been chosen 644 times.

Wow.

Got Dr. Sheldon Cooper, Mr. Spock, Robert Oppenheimer, Peter Tork, but had trouble with Major General Leslie Groves. Actually jumped the gun and guessed General Pershing, but got it on continuing with questions. Took longer than the others, though.

Couldn't get "Burke" from Andrew Vachss' Novels.

It got Thing (the hand in the box) from Addams Family.

This is just like Guess The Dictator/Sitcom Character.

And more fun than a barrel of midgets.

ETA: I beat the Akinator with 'Bear Claw Kris Lapp' from the movie "Jeremiah Johnson".

I was going for Terry Bozzio, it guessed Danny Carey (oddly close), and then shortly thereafter guessed Bozzio correctly. Next, I played Bald-Headed John, a character voiced by Bozzio on the Zappa album Joe's Garage. It got nowhere close, and then gave up.

Fun.
