I had added Scott Schmitt. :lol:


I wonder as his database expands if his accuracy goes down.

Got Dirk Diggler first try. After 3 attempts, still didn't get Betty Smith, author of A Tree Grows in Brooklyn. However, his first guess was Harper Lee, author of another of my favorite books, To Kill a Mockingbird.

I was thinking Bill from Bill and Ted's and it guessed Ted....

 

[Greg]

Sunffleupagus, first try and the questions were pretty vague... :lol:

I tried to ask whether he is offended that this thread calls him the "Askinator." No response, so I guess he's cool with it.

Wow, it got Peter Steele the lead singer of Type O Negative. My favorite band of all time, but one most people have never even heard of.
