Yeah, I know the site does not exactly work well (after all it gave a 54% match with some woman I'd never heard of :eek: ) However it is slightly funny.

They gave me Josephine Baker and I'm not of African descent and then another time they gave me Chuck Norris and the last time I looked, I wasn't male either. :lol: I tried different pictures and each time it gave me a different person, all way off, the last one was Eva Peron, I think that one was my favorite. :thumbs_upQuote:

Christina Ricci 72%

Kate Winslet 59%
Except for, hey, I got Ewan McGregor! :D 54% anyway...
I'm glad I'm not the only one with 'cross-gender' results. ;) Ewan McGregor is so much cooler than Chuck Norris though so I'm kind of jealous. :lol:Quote:

I feel like I need an excuse for this picture, so here it is: I'm on my boyfriend's computer, and this is the most decent pic of me that he has bothered to use up file space with, lol...
anyway....enjoy?
Nice pic, Shannigan, you look like you are going to crack a joke. :)
Yeah, it is. I guess they try to match very general facial characteristics, not going by ethnicity or the sex of the person. After all, it is just software, not an actual person that is running the comparisions. I wish I got Ewan McGregor too, he is cute! ;)Quote:

Actually, I was joking. What I did get was the following:Quote:

If you want to see the person of the other gender than is shown, there is a picture switching option between the two "lookalikes". I hadn't noticed this at first.
For a single photo, I was presented with Natalie Imbruglia as the closest match, and Bjorn Borg as the closest male match! They aren't exactly even 30% like each other!
I also was told I looked like Calista Flockhart! That really irked me, as some silly employee used to say I reminded him of her character on some stupid show I hated. But the same person used to stare at people, quietly singing to himself, and we always thought he was addressing us in low tones, and always asked him, "What?"
For one picture, I resembled Sean Bean (the actor that played Boromir in LOTR0, while, in another, almost identical photo, it was Billy Boyd (who played Pippin). Once I looked 68% like Hugh Grant, and also 66% like Chaka Khan! In one picture, I looked 68% like Liv Taylor (who played Arwen in LOTR), with no male match. When I first noticed the selection could be switched over to the next closest match from the other gender, I switched it over from Alanis Morissette to Jimi Hendrix! I was compared to several old, flat-faced men for photos in which I thought I looked better than some of those that were matched to young actresses.
Kilted, or whoever said it is right - that site's busted!
For about a third of my photos, it said there was no match.
Nice pic Kilt. You look like the type I would love to have a beer with. Nice looking girls too. I'd wear a kilt if (assuming I was single) it would attract girls like that. ;)Quote:

Brigitte Bardot (70%),
Suzanne Vega (67%),
Jennifer Connelly (64%),
Neve Campbell and Isabella Rossellini (both 62%),
Lech Walesa (61%) - bingo!,
Jet Li (60%),
Jared Leto, Saif Ali Khan, and Anita Mui (59% each).
Maybe this thing is purity itself, like the heart of a blind man!
I'm starting to think that website is matching celebrities with the camera, not the subject.
Nice pic shannanigan and kilted. I remember seeing your kilt pic before. Robin, there were no cameras in my pics.
I tried that website, and this is what I got: (please note, I am scandinavian, and look it, blonde, blue eyes....)
Mohammad Ali - 57%
Jodie Foster - 57%
Emma Goldman - 57%
Uma Thurman - 53%
Emmy Rossum - 51%
Rose McGowan - 48%
Anne Frank - 46%
With a different pic:
Natalie Imbruglia - 67%
Calista Flockhart - 66%
Nigel Short - 64%
Rose McGowan - 64%
Emmanuelle Beart - 64%
Lena Olin - 63%
Meryl Streep - 62%
Jodie Foster - 55%
Nancy Sinatra - 54%
Christian Ricci - 52%
I don't know who half those people are!
:D I'll take that as a compliment.Quote:

Remember, if you need me for anything you can email me.

And I kept getting almost the same per cent over and over and over of Katherine Zeta Jones and Kate Winslet. Now they look nada alike! :confused:
I prefer to think it is my dashing goods looks and wonderful wit that attracts them personally.....however then I see myself in a mirror or hear what I have just said and realise that in fact it must be the kilt. :cool:Quote:

Darn that peer pressure. Nothing like you expected? Hope that's a good thing. :lol:
Don't worry. It's a wonderful thing . . . when you judge solely from people's words/avatars you end up with a really weird image of them in your head.
I guess the real shocker was you hair color . . . really don't know why . . . :lol:
No, it's not because you present such a scholarly image/persona, and we all know the stereotypical truth that blondes are dumb. It's a combination of those facts and the color of your avatar, maybe? :D
Oooh...pwetty!!Quote:

I'll let you decide which is most likely.
Ok, I just did some very rough scaling and estimating to try to decipher the correct answer to this.Quote:

No 2, can not be correct due to the width of the books (I cant make out the titles, but I doubt they would be short enough to be that thin in the tiny bookcase.
#3 could well be correct but it is the least fun of the options, and is therefore disregarded.
Leading me to conclude that you are in fact 2.44m tall (8' 0.1") :lol:
You're gorgeous Petrarch! No I didn't quite expect you to look like that.Quote:

(You do know, of course, that Petrarch's been waiting over six hundred years to have someone say he's gorgeous ;)).
...and it still hasn't happened yet, the poor fellow.
