    Wasn't exactly surprised that it got my first try, Robert Mugabe, pretty quickly. I was surprised it failed on Erich Honecker.

    It got Santa Ana, but failed on Franjo Tudjman. Does perhaps not count as a dictator.

    I was thinking Crichton from Farscape (yeah, I'm sure that counts as a sit-com) and it guessed Jean Cretchien.

    It must of been the Yes to "do you have trouble performing everyday tasks?" that threw it off.

    It wasn't easy, but I won this time. You are player number 13 to have chosen john criten from farscape. john criten from farscape was a tough one, but I've had a lot of practice. Thanks for giving me something to do. Please visit again soon.

    I win again! You are player number 116 to have chosen Zenobia from Palmyra. I knew you were Zenobia from Palmyra from the start, but I strung you along for a while to make it seem more sporting. I hope that one day you will overcome the powerful sense of humiliation that you now feel. Until then, good luck.
    if you say the historically wrong answer of "Did you know Caesar?" (though Caesar could denote any emperor) then it's followed by "Were you taken to Italy in Chains?" and "Were you married to the Dux Orientis?"

    Well, I win this round. You are player number 158 to pick Colonel Jack O'Neill from Stargate SG-1, and what a clever choice it was! You almost had me for a while, but you let your guard down. Don't worry, it happens to all of us sooner or later. Please play again, and next time I'll be ready for you, Colonel Jack O'Neill from Stargate SG-1.

    You won this time, puny mortal! And I fail again. I guess my parents were right, I'll always be a failure. I guess it's time to start looking for a new job.
    But maybe you can help me so that I'll do better next time. In the form below, enter your character and a yes/no question that I can use to guess the character. For example, if you were pretending to be Gilligan from Gilligan's Island, and I guessed that you were the Skipper from Gilligan's Island, a good yes/no question would be "Are you thin?" or "Do you often break things?". Please please please try to make your question as general as possible.
    He guessed Johnny Slash from Square Pegs. But I answered lots of no because I didn't know the real answer.

    I added "Do you pretect all men, women, and children?"

    How would I be supposed to answer this if I didn't understand a bit of Danish? : "Er du dansker?"

    Hmm... I'm doing myself, but I claimed to put down rebellions (I just did in a computer game like an hour ago ).

    For a bit the questions started leaning towards Balki of Perfect Strangers. Eventually though, it decided I was:

    I guess that you are Ricky Gervais from The Office! Am I right?

    Damn, I lose again

    Well, I win this round. You are player number 89 to pick Dilbert from the comic strip, and what a clever choice it was! You almost had me for a while, but you let your guard down. Don't worry, it happens to all of us sooner or later. Please play again, and next time I'll be ready for you, Dilbert from the comic strip.
