Facerecognition

Face recognition

MyHeritage's face recognition compares facial traits in user-uploaded photos and spits out a chart of celebrity matches with whom you bear resemblance. It's not like I'm bragging or anything, but life is pretty easy for those of us who look like a mixture of Rutger Hauer, Peter Fonda, and, erm, Tim Curry. (On my second attempt, I ended up with John Travolta, Albert Einstein, and Alexander Graham Bell with a handlebar moustache. I'm not sure yet which reading's better).

I got a few funny ones, but the best was when my friend Mollie got Steve McQueen.

Oh - or when my caucasian, toddler daughter got Patrick Ewing.

I scanned in a picture of me standing next to Paul Reubens. It said I was Joey Fatone, and he (Pee-wee Herman) was Luke Perry.

Why do I have to be Joey Fatone?
