You mean like a Magic 8-Ball (tm)?


import random

# World's stupidest magic 8-ball simulator
def answer_question( question ):
    # Responses are probably copyright of Mattel
    responses = [ "Ask Again Later",
                  "Better Not Tell You Now",
                  "Concentrate and Ask Again",
                  "Don't Count on It",
                  "It Is Certain",
                  "Most Likely",
                  "My Reply is No",
                  "My Sources Say No",
                  "No",
                  "Outlook Good",
                  "Outlook Not So Good",
                  "Reply Hazy, Try Again",
                  "Signs Point to Yes",
                  "Yes",
                  "Yes, Definitely",
                  "You May Rely On It" ]

    i = int( random.randrange( len( responses ) ) )
    return responses[ i ]

def get_question():
    return raw_input( "What is your question?: " )

if __name__ == '__main__':
    print "Please ask 'Yes/No' questions..."
    while 1:
        print answer_question( get_question() )
        print
