    20 Questions

    I love this site.
    www.20q.net

    My 'object' was "a fart"
    The system eventually guessed it. The info page it gave me was kind of disturbing, though.

    Do you use it at work? You said Yes, I say No.
    Is it small? You said Irrelevant, I say Yes.
    Does it bring joy to people? You said Depends, I say Probably.
    Contradictions Detected
    It does not matter if our answers disagree, as over time the game will change its answers to reflect common knowledge. If you feel that the game is in error, the only way to fix it is to play again.

    So I did it with 'windrivers' too & it came up with 'Pride' !

    Then it asked me some more questions, this time it came up with 'the mind' - I dunno if its getting closer now or further away !

    Then curiosity ... then it said I won !

    That'll teach it to mess with a confus-ed mind !
