A post at the Undercover Black Man reminded of an exceptionally silly website I visited a while ago. After free but tedious registration (if you're not careful, you could be filling out a loan application), My Heritage will let you upload a picture of yourself and, using facial recognition software, tell you which celebrities you most resemble.

Like I said, I did this a while back but I'd forgotten how hilarious the results can be. Here are the celebrities I "most resemble" (in reverse order):

• Country singer Travis Tritt 
• Former German Foreign Minister Joschka Fischer 
• Actresses Christina Ricci and Janeane Garafolo
• Financier George Soros
• Uber-Geek and philanthropist Bill Gates

And the closest thing to a twin that My Heritage can find for me:

• The Simpsons creator Matt Groening

I'm intrigued at the software's insistence that, whatever my parents may have told me, I'm really a German/Jewish male or an Italian-American female.

It might be entertaining to download a picture of a celebrity to see if they actually look like themselves! Just a though.

I did this a while back too, Roberto, and you're right. It is absolutely hilarious. Even more fun than doing your own picture is downloading other people's you know and picking out the most obnoxious look alikes and sending them to them. Like your celeb pics!
