Your Work Week Is Officially OVER

Because this site is just pure gold (Registration required). At My Heritage, you can upload photos of yourself to the face recognition software and see which celebrities you resemble!

For example, when I uploaded this photo of Andrew and I at the Rose Bowl...

...I learn that we most closely resemble Donald Trump (Peter, 70% match rating) and David Brin (Andrew, 67% match rating). You can't make this stuff up, folks. You can even go here and look at the results (gotta register first).

Of course, as you upload different photos of yourself, you get different results, but that's the fun of it. I must say I was pleased to no end when one photo I uploaded netted me a 71% match rating with Natalie Imbruglia. Cuz I can wiggle my hips like that.

And how about this photo?

If you guessed Brittany Murphy and Yitzhak Rabin, move to the front of the line. Again, you can't make this stuff up.

Have fun wasting the rest of your ~~Friday~~ weekend.

You also had a match with Selma Blair

I dont know if that is a good or bad thing.

Of course it is

Some gorgeous coed will mistake me for Selma Blair and attempt to carry out her lesbian fantasies with me. And then freak out when she realizes Selma has a pickle.

If your picture doesn't return Sideshow Bob with 85% or greater accuracy, I want a refund.

No sideshow

I think their data base is deficient.
I did get Arnold, Billy Zane, and Barbra Streisand though; I think it was because I was squinting in the picture.
Leslie got Elisha Cuthbert and Halle Berry, so looks like I win.

WOW

Hey

Don't make me bust out the Andrew with the creepy guy at our tailgate picture

Screw it

I ran it through the celebrity match website, by the way, Andrew.

I think you'll like the results.

Rar!

Ha Ha

Andrew looks like women.

Test

I was starting to wonder if the thing just randomly made up results.

Nope

Thats not Obama

It is only 75%.

Well

Taken on my digital camera, it got it right: identifying Barak Obama as Barak Obama. Of course, the next comp was Fabio Canavarro, so...

it's like looking in a mirror

by the other Andrew on May 19, 2006 2:48 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs

If you scroll through

the original results of Peter and Andrew, you see that one of the results for Andrew is Ricki Lake.

Interesting

Andrew loves drama, and he loves Hostess cookie cakes. So this makes sense on lots of levels.

I don't know...

An older, fatter Dan Quale maybe but not Yitzak Rabin.

AW- Jimmy Kimmel

Fight On!

odd grouping

First Attempt:

Francis Crick
Al Gore
Hrithik Roshan (Bollywood actor, apparently)
Ian Curtis (deceased lead singer of Joy Division)

Second Attempt:

Elton John
Carl Lewis
Eddy Murphy
Adrian Smith (of Iron Maiden)

I think they're just making it up. Plainly Carl Lewis and Eddy Murphy made it because of similar glasses; otherwise they must just have a file for "fat bald people" and "aging Brits" from which pictures are selected at random.
