Who am I? - 20 Question Game

I am thinking of a person, real or fictional, living or dead.

The group can ask 20 questions to try to figure out the identity of the mystery person.

I will only answer yes or no (maybe a little more info ).

A guess will be sent ONLY via PM - and does not count towards the question count.

Only one guess per person per day allowed.

The first person to correctly guess the person is the winner, and gets one (1) Sherlock point.

I am ready. Ask away!

The power of a well tuned mined. :mrgreen:

hehehehehe

My wife says I'm psychic, I say I have some magical powers - I sometimes can tell what people are going to say before they say it and sometimes what they are thinking. I read Cho's mind from across the fruited plains, receive the answer (but her liberal brain waves gave me a migraine :P )

I also wake up at the right time without an alarm clock and may wife says that I have a form of radar: I can tell where things (usually scantly clad women :twisted: ) are without looking.
