Mirror mirror on the wall...

As I was watching Good Morning America one morning, I saw an interesting little story on this facial-recognition software on the web: MyHeritage Apparently, it scans a picture of your face and then uses some sort of logarithm or algorithm - I don't know - I'm not a math person - to compare features of your face to features of the faces of certain celebrities. When you upload your photo, and the program scans it, it gives you a list of people who are a match for your facial features, and then it gives you what percentage match you are. For instance, when I first ran it using this photo, I was a 57% match for Hugo Weaving, the very-talented actor who enthralled me as V in V for Vendetta. I tried it a couple of times more, and I noticed a frightening trend: the majority of faces that matched mine were men. And if that weren't bad enough, most of the men were either middle-aged, old, or had hit every branch on the ugly tree as they fell, and I even got one Asian dude (although Chow Yun-Fat is kinda cute)! I know I'm no beauty, but come on…do I look that masculine? I barely got one woman, and that was Margaret Thatcher (as an old crone - no offence to Ms. Thatcher)! These are my highest matches: Hugo Weaving, Heath Ledger, Margaret Thatcher, Chow Yun-Fat, Guy Pearce, Ray Liotta, Rutger Hauer, Dudi Balsar, Gary Oldman, Pervez Musharraf, and David Blaine. Let's say I was noticeably put out. Well, more amused than put out. I decided to let my roommate in on the fun, and after scanning a picture that I took of her, I read her results: Kelly Clarkson, Amy Lee, Alicia Silverstone, Charlotte Church, Charlize Theron, Alexis Bledel, and Emmy Rossum. She gets a lot of gorgeous women. I get a lot of hairy men. I guess if you add us together and take the average, it's kind of fair. No, nix that, it's not fair! I don't think I look that bad! So, I scanned another photo - one of me without my glasses (which I will not show here - I have no wish to frighten you), and I got some mollifying results: Penelope Cruz, Demi Moore, Vivien Leigh, Jennifer Garner, and Gillian Anderson. Oh, and Heath Ledger again. I feel slightly better - I mean - it's mostly women this time - that's a lot better than a bunch of men. So, try it yourself. Let me know who you look like.
