Find your inner celebrity
There's plenty of silly little interweb tools out there, and the latest one I've come across is Find the Celebrity in You (TM) off the site MyHeritage. Their face recognition software will match an uploaded photo with their database of 3,200 famous men and women.
It's been interesting to find out that both my parents bear a resemblence to the Dalai Lama. Or that somehow my younger brother got matched with both Gwen Stefani and Tony Danza (I'm guessing that this beta software still has plenty of bugs to work out...)
If you've ever been curious about who's behind Blend Creations, well, today's your chance. Apparently Eric has a 63% resemblence to Matthew Fox. Score for me!

But he much prefers this resemblence to his favourite HK actor/pop star Andy Lau. Is it the eyebrows?

(The Andy Lau obsession probably didn't start with watching all three Infernal Affairs movies, but rather with some odd movie Andy did involving a lot of Mah Jong playing...)
I on the other hand, have been matched with both Zhang Ziyi (not too big a stretch, I suppose) and Kelly Clarkson. I guess I must have an inner American Idol. Go figure.

In any case, the site's a good time-waster if you've got access to lots of photos of friends and family. (It's fun to send your brother an email to tell him that he looks like Anna Nicole Smith --with visual proof, no less.) So, if you're up for some work-avoidance, go here to begin the fun.

Way too much fun!
It appears that the system is searching for pictures with similar facial expressions. My dad came up as Carl Lewis, and they had the exact same smile. I, however, was matched with both Heidi Klum and Carl Sagan from the same pic!
Definitely some bugs in there ;-)
Cool! Nice seeing a picture of you!!
