20Q ruined my day!

[Mokujin77]

I saw that little gizmo 20Q in a shop the other day whilst christmas shopping and thought "Why not? It's only a tenner." So I bought it. The first item it guessed was my wallhanger sword (it called it a katana - highly specific considering how random the questions appeared to be). So I thought I'd answer the questions by describing my wife to see what the answer was. It's last question (i.e. it's guess) was "Is it a soulmate? Accurate again! So I thought I'd answer the questions by describing my self...


It's guess was...




..."Is it a ninja?".





F**king thing's in the bin now. :mad:

Anyone else suffered at the hands of this thing?

p.s. cheers to those guys who gave me positive rep points recently (I haven't checked my user cp in a while).

My sister has one of those. Every now and then I'll think of something random and see if it can guess it right. Either I don't know how to use it right, or I must be thinking of some pretty random things, because I win about 9 times out of ten.

What really suprised me is the 20Q's ability to accurately guess vulgar terms. :emb:

If you look at it that way, I guess I did suffer at the hands of that blasted thing, considering how my mom was reading off the questions. I never expected it guess! It's not my fault!!!

I've used those things, but I've never gotten screwed over by it. Then again, I only thought of comic books and beer when I did it, so not much to get screwed over with.

at least it didn't ask ... "is it a cow?" muhahahahaha

Should'nt you be flattered that it thought you were a ninja, since Ninjas are like the ultimate creatures, capable of superhuman like powers?

I guess that depends on wether the people who make this gizmo use the term "ninja" to describe a sad, fantasist loser or a highly skilled merchant of death. :ninja:
