Are you smarter than a genie on a website?

    You know what gets me every time? It's when the genie asks really character-specific questions in a row and you start to think "OK, is this fucker reading my mind?"

    Example: I was thinking of Axl Rose. And consecutively, his questions were "Is your character a singer?" "Is your character linked to heavy metal?" "Does your character have long hair?" "Does your character have red hair?"

    At that point, I screamed a string of obscenities at the screen.

    Stumped it with Mitch Albom.


    It guessed Phil Hellmuth, Tom Schradling (radio announcer) and Tim Donaghy (NBA ref).

    Holy crap, I thought I was the only person on earth who remembered Chris Jent.

    Nailed Morgan Freeman, flunked Levar Burton (although 65 other people used Levar Burton? Weird) and flunked Wally Pipp.

    I don't want to go too obscure, because that seems cheap. It just got Adam Lambert (American Idol loser last season) and Nicolas Sarkozy pretty quickly. Then got Madeleine Albright pretty easily. It's cool.

    Too obscure isn't that cheap, because you can teach it a new name.

    It defeats the purpose though.

    I'd plug my own name in there, but I'd be afraid he'd get it and then I'd be looking over my shoulder, thinking the genie is right behind me.

    Stumped him on Chloe from 24, but he got John Elway in 6 guesses, Mark McGwire in 5, and Babe Ruth in 10.

    He got me. He guessed "I think of you." Creepy.

    He also got these obscure ones:
    Marty Funkhouser
    Epic Beard Man
    The Holy Spirit
    Comet from Full House
    A random famous Greek Singer from the 1970s
    Himself
