21 yes/no questions game

Don't know if this is gonna work online... but i play this game with my friends sometime when we're bored or waiting in a really really long line (i.e: amusement park rides)

Basically I think of something that's either an object, place, or a person's name (must be famous of course) and you guys try to guess what it is by asking 21 yes/no questions. If you guys asked me 21 questions and u still don't get it, then u lose. If you want to guess what I'm thinking, that also counts as a question.

Example:

I'm thinking of "something".

You guys ask:

1. Is it a person?
A: no.

2. Is it a place?
A: yes.

3. Is it in America?
A: yes.

4. Is it in Houston?
A: no.

5. Is it.. the white house???
A: no....

^ Question #5 would've been a horrible question to ask cause u don't have enough information on what place I'm thinking and since u try to guess the answer right away, u lose a question.

Of course I'm not gonna cheat and change what I'm thinking all the time... that'll be stupid and defeats the purpose of this game.... Also, please try to limit yourselves to one question at a time so everybody gets a chance to ask me questions.

Ok, so let's try this. I'm thinking of "something". Good luck to you guys

PS: Obviously this game will require me coming online alot to answer your questions. I'll try to log on frequently.

PS#2: The first one will be relatively easy, just to get you guys more familiarized with the game.
