I am a huge fan of the Beatles and Paul McCartney with his current band 'Wings'.
Is he dead? I don't think so, but a lot of people do and with all these conspiracy theories I don't blame them.
In October of 1969, three weeks after the Beatles' celebrated Abbey Road album was released, WKNR-FM's Russ Gibb took a call from a man who identified himself only as "Tom." The Detroit deejay listened as the caller carefully laid out clues hidden in Beatles' songs and album art, which he said indicated Paul McCartney had died on November 9, 1966, in an automobile accident. Listeners began deluging New York City radio stations with "evidence" and soon the rumor spread around the world. Was this a Beatles' publicity stunt, a fan feeding-frenzy fueled by clues left as an inside joke by John Lennon—or was Paul really dead?
In order for McCartney's death to be kept under wraps, the Beatles would need a look-alike to sub for him. It's said they found the perfect candidate in an actor named William Shears Campbell, the winner of a McCartney look-alike contest who resembled the singer so much that he was supposedly on the Beatles' payroll as a stand-in to throw off fans and the press. The name may ring a bell from the "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" lyric on the album of the same name: "So let me introduce to you / The one and only Billy Shears / And Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band."

For anyone who hasn't come across this yet. This is the Akinator Genie.
You think of an Actor, Sports Person, Character from a Novel, Movie or Game and it will most likely get it.
You do have to know about your character though. Any inaccurate answers may ruin it.
I spent ages on this, it's so much fun. If it guesses wrong that doesn't mean you've defeated it, only that it will try twice more to get your character and even then if you have defeated it a list comes up of characters that might be yours so.. give it a shot anyway.
