[QUOTE=Earl Snake-Hips Tucker] …[Al Franken](http://www.news.harvard.edu/gazette/2002/06.06/photos/newsart.jpg), and [Frankenberry](http://www.hometownfavorites.com/images/items/Large/hfce103.jpg)… [/QUOTE] Heh. Al Franken, on a very very old episode of Saturday Night Live, did a protest editorial where he was going to sue General Mills over the use of his likeness without permission. He struck an uncannily similar facial expression. “And if that weren’t enough,”, he says, covering Frankenberry’s face so that only the two humps of his head are showing, “they’re also using my rear end! They’re using MY charisma to sell a breakfast food!” ---

[Kristin Kreuk](http://www.thebluething.com/games/files/kristin-kreuk.jpg) and [Norah Jones](http://www.norahjones.info/images/norah_jones_car_1280x960.jpg). It took me a few days before I realized [the girl on the cover of this issue of Entertainment Weekly](http://www.ew.com/ew/inside/issue/0,,ewTax:551552,00.html) was not Heather Graham but Mena Suvari. ---

On another board I visit, someone pointed out how much [this girl](http://www.thehairstyler.com/images/celebrity/Celebrity_1314.jpg)from some MTV reality show looks like [Zach Morris](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Zackmorris.jpg) from Saved by the Bell (played by Mark Paul Gosselaar). ---

I may be the only one who sees the resemblance, but I think Daniel Radcliffe looks a lot like Elijah Wood. (of course I like to watch Elijah more) ---

[QUOTE=Swallowed My Cellphone] Back inthe 90s, I was dating a girl who used to watch _Felcity_ with Keri Russel as the lead actor. I never paid attention to the show at all. So I must ruefully admit that I thought [Amy Jo Johnson](http://img59.imageshack.us/img59/149/amyjojohnson048imgzc0.jpg) and [Jennifer Garner](http://eur.i1.yimg.com/eur.yimg.com/xp/premiere_photo/20050831/10/1596915008.jpg) were not only the same character, but the same person. [/QUOTE] I think their third sister is [Hilary Swank](http://www.theincrowdvlog.com/incrowdvlog/list/film/images/Hilary%20Swank.jpg) and their brother is [Matt Damon](http://humorfeminista.com/chicosguapos_archivos/modelosyfamosos/matt_damon_1.jpg) ---

[QUOTE=BMax] and their brother is [Matt Damon](http://humorfeminista.com/chicosguapos_archivos/modelosyfamosos/matt_damon_1.jpg) [/QUOTE] That reminds me, for a short while I used to think that [Michael C. Hall](http://us.imdb.com/gallery/granitz/2192/MichaelCHa_Grani_1962662_400.jpg.html?path=pgallery&path_key=Hall,%20Michael%20C.%20(I)&seq=31) from “Six Feet Under” looked a bit like Matt Damon. Then I kind of got over it and not longer see any resemblance. ---
