**Ashton Kutcher**?! Well, the scary thing is, in that specific picture of me and that specific picture of him, I can kinda see a slight resemblance. But not so with Uma Thurmond, or J-Lo, or two different Asian people! ---

The first photo got me Lana Turner. Second was Annette Bening. Third, Cindy Crawford. Fourth, Katharine Hepburn. I look like none of those women. ---

I wish \*\*Zsofia \*\*would try this thing out. I have a hunch she’d get some hilarious result, like Ashton Kutcher. Though I hear she looks a bit like a cross between J-Lo, Uma Thurman, and some Asian people… ---

I just had my husband take a pic of me. Apparently, I’m a 49% match with Michael Jordan. 57% with Walter Mondale. 54% with Alan Rickman. 52% with George Harrison. I matched 8 men and 2 women. 4 of the men had facial hair. Yeah, this is a spot-on program. :rolleyes: ---

With the first picture I tried, I got: Yossi Beilin Sugar Ray Robinson Hu Jintao My reaction: those people aren’t even the same race as me. With the second picture (a bit darker, but more detailed), I still got: Yossi Beilin Sugar Ray Robinson But now, I’ve also got: George W. Bush Friedrich August von Hayek Billy Zane My reaction: impossible to say, the first name left me unconscious. Looking over them all, I would say [Hayek](http://www.nobelpreis.org/norsk/wirtschaft/images/hayek.jpg) at least resembles me. I even wear nearly identical glasses. In fact, if I were, oh, 300 years older, we might even look alike. ---

In order to test their algorithm (I.E. I got bored), I tried some pics of celebrities. It says… Cher looks like Kareena Kapoor, Steve Vai, Liv Tyler and Barbara Streisand. Sean Connerry looks like Toshiro Mifune or Nino Rota. But Jim Carrey and Paris Hilton, it got correct. ---

Apparently I am most like Mischa Barton, Selma Blair, Renee Zellweger, Alexis Bledel followed by Ryan Reynolds, Ryuichi Sakamoto (well the hairstyle looks a bit similar), Kurt Russel, Michael Jordan, Jessica Alba and Cary Elwes.

Gwyneth Paltrow 63% Ricki Lake 63% Carrie Underwood 60% (I have no idea who this person is) Tia Carrere 60% Elle MacPherson 58% Matthew Perry 54% This one cracks me up. His pic is by far the closest IMHO, but I’m a girl! Neve Campbell 52% Candice Bergen 52% Juliette Lewis 52% Mischa Barton 51% (don’t know who she is either) Wow. I guess I used a really really good picture. ---

I got **Evangeline Lilly**. I didn’t really see it until I looked at the pic of her next to me, and it’s actually quite close. Same eyebrows, similar smile, face shape. Cool! ---

OK I just put another picture in and got a totally different list of people, including Joe Pesci, David Letterman and Werner Herzog, who is decidedly unattractive. I think I’ll put that other picture back in… ---

Kristen Kreuk, Callista Flockhart ( :dubious: 😕 ) Shirley MacLaine, Ingrid Bergman (yet another :dubious: 😕 ) and Tia Carrere, plus a bunch of other women whose names I didn’t recognize. ---

1. **David Schwimmer** 2. **Justine Henin-Hardenne** That means I’m definitely a man, unless I’m a woman. ---

I ran another pic and this one says Scarlett Johansson, Jon Bon Jovi, John Kerry, Charlize Theron and Jacques Chirac. And technology marches on! ---

Ewan McGregor (YES!) at 74% Followed by Carrie Fisher at 73%. Maybe I look like Obi-Wan and Princess Leia’s secret love child. Then I get progressively uglier, going through David Copperfield, Tom Green and Uri Geller, before getting really hot again, looking like Johnny Depp, Cary Grant and Alyssa Mylano. ---

I also decided to give it a picture of Bono (specifically [this one](http://pensoeudeque.weblog.com.pt/arquivo/bono.jpg)) and the results were: 1. **Bono** (62% - I wonder what it means if you only look 3/5 like yourself?) 2. **Jamie Lynn Spears** (59%) 3. **Billy Bob Thornton** (57%) 4. **John Goodman** (54%) I’ll let these results speak for themselves. ---

> [@Draelin](#): > > The first photo got me Lana Turner. Second was Annette Bening. Third, Cindy Crawford. Fourth, Katharine Hepburn. I look like none of those women. That’s a chance I’d be willing to take. 😉 I tried two other photos of myself and they couldn’t match me with anyone. But I’m 66% with Chris Tucker. ---
