face to face

Found this dandy Time Waster, via Hey...Listen, who was in turn found via that Miracle of Procrastination the Next Blog button.

You upload a head and shoulders shot of yourself and their handy database works out which famous people your facial features most resemble.

My results included:

• Mariah Carey - 68% match


• Eric Idle - 62% match


• Alyson Hannigan - 61% match


• Penelope Cruz - 60% match

It would be fab for me to say - oh yes I am a total cross between Alyson and Pen, how did they know! But the truth is I look nothing like any of these people. (Ok, maybe a bit like Eric Idle.)

But back to the time wasting bit.

Being of a political bent I decided to try a politician. It was hard to choose, so many head shots of them, so little time, but in the end I decided, in honour of the fact that he does actually blog, to try out Rodney Hide.

And here's what My Heritage came up with for Rodders(you might want to take a seat first):

• Hugh Grant - 66% match (I kid you not!)


• Jack Nicholson - 65% match (now that's more like it)


• John Edwards - 59% match (what does that say about the Democrats? or about ACT?!)

So far My Heritage is not doing so well on the accuracy front, but is definitely in A+ territory for procrastination.
