Guess the Name

Think of the name of a TV Show or Movie. This site will try to guess which one you are thinking of using simple yes/no questions. I was thinking of "What's My Line", which, of course, is almost as old as TV and this very smart computer guessed it! Lots of fun !

US Search

Want to know how old someone is? This site knows. This was remarkable. I was listing all sorts of people and getting ages on most of them. Not sure they were correct, but I got ages. The site will try to sell you more information on everyone you list.
