Recognition

MyHeritage - share black and white photos with facial recognition technology">
Oh yes, I am famous. Well, at least my face is famous, bits of it anyway. I have no idea how accurate this software is, or how many viruses it gave the Uni computer, but at least it's interesting and it got me out of another 15 minutes of studying.
Apparently, I share the features of my mug with a Chilean biologist, a Mexican soap star, a Finnish metal guitarist and an American solo guitarist, a top Hollywood actor and, most interestingly, 3 members of N'Sync. This is surprising as I think there were only 5 members in total. So, either I am the disastrous genetic creation of a cliched 90s boyband, or the software has a very small database of photos.
Either way, at least it didn't tell me that I look like Elijah Wood, just for a change. Even the crackpot patients on the Psychiatric Ward shout out along the corridors I'm that bloke from the Lord of the Rings.

You racist, sexist swine!
Plus, Dave Navarro isn't that bad. One of my mates got Enoch Powell as a top result. Ouch.
