A surprisingly addictive little search app

An implementation of the new Yahoo Boss search engine API, this app scans the top 50 results and comes back with an answer to a who, what or when question. It's pretty funny when it's wrong, but it also gets a fair share of questions right. Not bad for quickly thrown together demo app.

From a design perspective, I love the simplicity yet underlying power. Ask it any question and have a reasonable chance of getting a good (or at least entertaining) answer.
