The Ultimate Toy For When You're Sitting On The Toilet...


Now THAT title had to intrigue you, huh?

Last Christmas my mom gave each of us one of these. It's a Twenty Questions game. I think they're only like $10. What you do is think of some object (no proper nouns and not overly specific). The first question is always whether the thing you're thinking of is animal, vegetable, mineral, other, or unknown. Your answer options include yes, no, sometimes, or unknown. Then it will ask a series of different questions (Is it flat?, Is it bigger than a microwave?, etc.). After twenty questions, it will guess what you're thinking of. If it guesses wrong, it will try another five questions and guess again. The frequency with which it guesses right is pretty amazing. You'll be sitting there, thinking about the questions it asked and KNOWING there isn't a chance in hell that it'll get it, then it does!

Some of the things its guessed correctly: ceiling fan, aardvark, golf tee, nothing (I just kept hitting the no button to see what it would say), parakeet, aircraft carrier.

It did not guess turd or bong.

You can try it online HERE. They even give you more options for answers.

your title didn't make me bat an eye, I know how you men are and anything you can take into the bathroom with you to entertain, makes you happy.

this sounds like a cool toy, though!

I tried to get it to guess "magic". It didn't work. I wonder what turds, bongs and magic have in common.

I just ordered one of these before reading your post. It may not make it to my 7 year-old nephew if it's this cool.
