Hey, is the government behind this? It creeps me out because it's sort of like a website using fingerprint recognition software asking you to email a fingerprint off and then telling you they'll let you know how much your hands resemble some celebrity.
Imagine if your email address and this photo were all going into a database somewhere......
I dunno, call me paranoid.

But I guess you gotta filter out the spambots.

Oh, yeah: also a mod here, not a spammer. A matter of opinion, perhaps. - Location: Lefse country
Look. I've been compared to Michael J. Fox, Eric Clapton, Paul McCartney, and Joe Montana, not to mention my father and my mother (two very different-looking people). I'm going to do the database a favor and not even try. I'd probably make it blow up.

Interesting, sort of...
And yet what do Eva Mendez, Beyonce, Jessica Simpson, MK Olsen, Audrey Tautou, and Marg Helgenberger have in common really? If you put them all in the same room would you have trouble telling which was which? I feel somewhat confident that if I then walked into that same room I would not be mistaken for any of them.
If you try it with a head on shot, then a three-quarters face you'll get a completely different roster of celebs, because the software has to compare you to people posed in the same position.
Again, interesting, but it can't account for the expressions and nuances of faces that often cause one person to remind us of someone else. But I suppose that to a space alien I might actually look pretty similar to the people listed above.

You guys are dolls, but, judging from all these pictures here, I'm thinking if you look 53% like one of these celebrities that must just be that you both have ears, noses, foreheads, chins, mouths, and eyes at all. It seems like it must be that other 47% percent that really means something.

I don't know about now, but back in the seventies, some folks, including even a sportswriter, said I was a ringer for Joe Zdeb, minor utility player for the 1976-78 Kansas City Royals. Unfortunately, Joe's career never took off, so there was no way to exploit this.
