Your web based psychoanalist

ELIZA was a program written in the 1960s by Joeseph Weizenbaum. Basically, it uses an old shrink's trick of rephrasing your question into a new question so you can figure out your problems on your own (but ELIZA doesn't charge you $200 an hour to do it). It doesn't really do much of anything except annoy you after about 5 questions, but it's kind of fun to try to argue with it.

Try it out here.
