who do you look like?

http://www.myheritage.com/FP/Company/tryFaceRecognition.php?s=1&u=g0&lang=EN

i heard about this website on CBC: The Hour (one of my favourite shows because i enjoy george stroumbolopoulos's way of delivering the news), but wasn't paying attention to get the website address. but my roommate got it in an email and forwarded it to me.

so you have to upload a picture of yourself, and the site will tell you what celebrities they think you look like. it's so fun and addictive. i ran a few different pictures of myself and here are the names i recognized:

picture 1:
shannen doherty 60%
zhang ziyi 55%
liza minnelli 53%
monica lewinsky 52% (wtf!)
keith moon 49%
lucille ball 42%

picture 2: (apparently i look like a man in this pic!)
stephen fry 60%
kim il sung 60%
guillermo coria 45%
yao ming 40%
audrey hepburn 39%
zhang ziyi 38%

picture 3:
ninet tayeb 69% (an israeli pop star)
angelina jolie 47% (where's my brad pitt?)
hilary rodham clinton 46%
drew barrymore 45%

picture 4:
drew barrymore 68%
madonna 67%
beyonce knowles 58%
lucy liu 50%
liv tyler 50%
henrik larsson 50% (a swedish footballer)
carrie-anne moss 48%
jennifer connelly 46%
zhang ziyi 45%

i don't know what kind of technology they're using or what they actually analyze because i don't think i look anything like any of these people they say i do; except the chinese connection to yao ming and zhang ziyi. nonetheless, it's fun. do this for yourself and see who you're suppose to look like.
