Planet Dan has a fun link up for a facial recognition program that compares faces in pictures you upload to the faces of celebrities. I did a bit of comparing with pictures of Eryn and myself and the first attempt gave us close matches of Liv Tyler for me and Audrey Tautou for Eryn. I would have never pegged Eryn as being French, though I might peg my mother as a rock groupie given a bottle of Herford Cow at the end of a 24 hour nursing shift.
The secondary matches were Zhang Ziyi for Eryn and Aaliyah for me (surprisingly, no one has ever told me I look like Aaliyah, or like any young, black, female). But more interesting were Eryn and I both showing up as matches for Keira Knightley. There must be something in the family facial traits that actually has something in common with her - maybe we hail from the same part of the island in the distant past. More importantly, I find it reassuring that Mr. Mustard now has to consider whether watching movies with Keira Knightley in them and considering her attractive in some way reflects a secret desire for this cube neighbor. Maybe Ms. Knightley and I can share the same restraining order against him.

Blame your Mother!
It thought I looked like Muddy Waters and John Cleese. Which, honestly, is a pretty big stretch, even if you haven't seen me.
Does it worry you that two analyses think you look like a woman?...Wait. It thinks my daughter is a black man (a close second was jesse jackson).
LissyJo: absolutely not, considering they're attractive young women. I'd be far more concerned if they told me I looked like a cross between a grizzled old blues singer and an aged comedian. As a bonus, it means if Pooteewheet ever has girl-on-girl fantasies, she doesn't have to leave the house - I'm a MFF menage all in one body.
