Think of a TV or film character. Any TV or film character.

If not, you get to pose your own question to help it next time. (No, Mrs Norris is not Lassie.) This will probably involve some websearching to brush up on the minor character in a soap you've never heard of that the computer pegged you as, or to find out who exactly 'Febe' from Hey Arnold is, but it's kind of fun thinking up oblique questions that'll give other people a giggle.
User-defined questions mean that some of them are pretty lame, but others are either hilarious or delightfully ambiguous when applied to the character in question. (Do you have internal machinery? ;) I had fun with 'Are you royalty' when thinking of Crookshanks - of course a cat is going to answer 'yes' (or perhaps 'mew') to that one.
I was the third person to try Lucius, the 37th to try Snape, I think the 70th (!) to try Minerva, and the 14th to try K-9 from Dr Who. Strangely enough, no one had tried Madam Pince...
