  2. Cynical_Youth New Member

    My list ranges from Russell Crowe and Norah Jones to, worryingly, Saddam Hussein. :)

    Orrdos did a great thread on this here

    Oh and Terry Jones - see the thread for proof!
  4. Rincewind Number One Doorman

    I was *very* drunk in the photo he chose of me. You have to take that into consideration.

    Ah but the "Rosie and Jim" one is a classic!
  6. Rincewind Number One Doorman

    Nothing wrong with 'Jim' as far as I'm aware it's the only puppet with a girlfriend, so he (I) must be pretty hot.

    Okay I succumbed and registered and checked out Marcia's link

    I used the profile pic as seen in the thread. Results errr mixed

    [b:dabdd32ec5]Category Who??[/b:dabdd32ec5]

    Linus Torvalds

    [b:dabdd32ec5]Category Fairly Accurate [/b:dabdd32ec5]

    Dino Zoff

    [b:dabdd32ec5]Category You have to be kidding me[/b:dabdd32ec5]

    Kevin Costner
    Ray Liota
    Robert Redford (!)
    Brad Pitt (wtf??)
  8. Electric_Man Templar

    Linus Torvalds invented Linux!

    I tried with a 3 year old picture and a recent one (the one in my profile) and got completely different results:

    Older one:
    Jeff Buckley: 58%
    Harold Wilson: 58%
    Robert de Niro: 54%
    Sean Penn: 52%

    Recent One:
    Jacques Rogge: 53%
    Brad Pitt: 52%
    Scarlet Johansson: 44%
    Richard Leakey: 44%

    I have to say, the pic they supplied of Harold Wilson did make me think I shared a fair few features with him. Probably the [i:2d61230633]actual[/i:2d61230633] best match of them all.

    [list:d9db4cc600]L Frank Baum

    John Pople (don't know who?)

    John Carpenter
    Jean-Bertrand Aristide
    Omar Sherif[/list:u:d9db4cc600]
  10. Electric_Man Templar

    Viggo Mortenson played Aragorn in LOTR.

    Don't know who John Pople is, nor the other John, the Jean nor the Frank.

    Mal, your face is soooooo un-mainstream.
  11. Maljonic Administrator

    Frank wrote the 20 or so Oz books, Wizard of Oz etc.

    John Carpenter is a famous director, and writer I think. Horror movies mostly.


    Anyway I just tried Terry Pratchett and it got 62% for Terry Pratchett, also Sergey Ilyushin 58%, James Coburn 58%, Steven Spielberg 53% and the creepy Harold Shipman 52% :)

    Yngwie J Malmsteen!!!!!!

    And Angelina Jolie and River Phoenix and Liv Tyler and Shania Twain and some Victorian guy with an EXQUISITE moustache.
  13. Electric_Man Templar

    I dare you to try it with this picture. The results are too funny to miss!

    Well in the name of time wasting I got:

    Kate Winslet (70%)
    Monica Lewinsky (59%)
    Hilary Diff (57%)
    Josephine Baker (54%) Who?
    Lauren Bacall (47%)
    Isabelle Hupert (45%) Who?
    Jack Nicholson (44%)
    Juliette Binoche (44%)
    Olivia Newton-John (44%)
    Kajol (41%) Who?

    A very good friend looks like no one whatsoever. I always thought her cute face was unique. Oh, no, I lie. If I use the face selector thing, she looks like Elijah Wood. Frodo! She does a bit, actually. I think it's the hair. Though his is quite a bit darker. Another friend has no matches, but that may be because the picture's blurry. And I apperantly look like Ninet Tayeb (72%), Emma Watson (71%), Audrey Tautou (71%), Deborah Kerr (71%), Beyonce Knowles (70%), Cameron Diez (67%), Zhang Ziyi (66%), Norah Jones (66%), Romy Schneider (66%), and Asia Argento (65%). To tell the truth, I think I look more like Argento than anything else. Some of these people look way out there...
  17. Roman_K New Member

    An interesting program. I got Harry Belafonte(57%), and I have no idea who that is,

    Iain Banks(54%),

    Ang Lee(50%),

    Niklaus Wirth(48%, and who?),

    Meryl Streep (42%),

    Steven Soderbergh(42%),

    Kevin Mitnick(42%),

    Frank Oz(42%)

    And there were two more, but I ignored them as they were lower than 40%.
  18. Roman_K New Member

    Hmmm, running a photo from the same period gets completely different results. Not the most trustworthy program, it would seem.
  19. Andalusian New Member

    That thing is rather addictive.

    Audrey Tatou 73%
    Vivien Leigh 69%
    Liv Tyler 68%
    Angelina Jolie 68%
    Sophie Marceau 61%

    It also keeps telling me I look Asian, or like Keith Moon. :|
  20. Katcal I Aten't French !

    Well, I guess they selected only physically flattering people to put in there :D

    I got:
    Jennifer Conelly (61%)
    Marguerite Yourcenar (58%)
    Shirley Temple (57%) (wtf ? :D )
    Ingrid Bergman (46%)
    Sarah Michelle Buffy (41%) (OUCH ! :shock: )
    Billie Holiday (41%)

    And my man got... Tom Cruise (49%) :D He's gonna be mad about that !!! He's Soooooo proud about being taller than Tom :D On a more worrying note, he also got Pinochet somewhere in the long list... and Juan Pablo Montoya, which doesn't really make up for it.

    I got Al Gore as my top match. And I was secretly hoping for a prophet/sonofagod/person (depending on your religion of choice).

    Remember Monty Python, "The fat one weighs up the two skinny ones"?

    Perhaps there was a shortage of digital photos of your hoped-for match? ;)

    I can't create a login for some reason. To be precise, the site seems to be IE oriented .. us Linux/Firefox users are being discriminated against :(

    I use firefox and it worked fine for me, but I am on Windows... :roll:
  25. Roman_K New Member

    I use Firefox, but I'm on Windows as well at the moment. Works okay.

    Aye, that could be it. ;-)

    All right I was a bit hesitant to do this - but I had nothing to do there for a few minutes.

    I 'look like'
    nicole Kidman: 57%
    George Soros 51% - Who?
    Cameron Diaz 51%
    Rennee Zellwinger 50%
    Kiera Knightly 50%

    My twin whom I happen to have a picture off 'looks like':

    Eligah Wood 64%
    Nicole Kidman 63%
    Averil Lavagine 60%
    Kiera Knightly 55%


    I think we look like each other :)

    John Belushi came in at 44% 'Look alike' to me - I think he's probably the most like me- round face and flatish looking nose!
  28. Hermia New Member

    Well, there are a few of us Cameron Diazes here, it seems!

    I also got (using the Evil Fairy Picture):

    Amelie Nothomb (who?)
    Antonio Banderaz (!!!)
    Sting (!!!)
    Shakira
    Salma Hayek
    Drew Barrymore
    Kevin Spacey (!!!)
    Greta Garbo
    Courtney Cox


    Well, that's not a bad lot, I guess.

    I also stuck in the picture of Clay and Dawn, from which Dawn got Anna Kournikova and Clay got Thierry Henry!!
  29. Saccharissa Stitcher

    72% Scarlett Johansson, and I suspect most of it was the earrings.
  30. Hsing Moderator

    :D

    (By the way, it didn't work for me too. The picture wouldn't upload.)
  31. Garner Great God and Founding Father

    [quote:556c159b88="Hermia"]I also stuck in the picture of Clay and Dawn, from which Dawn got Anna Kournikova and Clay got Thierry Henry!![/quote:556c159b88]

    Well, I think Dawn's not only cuter than Kournikova, but probably a MUCH better tenis player.

    Who's Thierry Henry, though?

    My poor stomach muscles! Already damaged! Such laughter doesn't help!

    [quote:ca19dd7769="Katcal"]Hermia : This is Amelie Nothomb, she's a writer, very controversial in France, and very excentric...[/quote:ca19dd7769]

    Ok, that suits me just fine. :) I'm sure I'd also be very controversial in France, given the opportunity. In fact, I might just add it to my list of New Year's resolutions!
