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.

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?"

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 ).
