If only you knew what goes on behind the scenes here in North Dakota– the GMail arrives constantly and furiously, let me promise you that. No, it’s not easy to foment a mutiny, but we try our damnedest.
Without going in to too much detail, since I love you all too much for such carnage (it involves someone exhorting others to give his caruthu kundi an ooma), I’ll just let you know that I ended up at a verrry interesting website, which scanned a picture I uploaded before telling me which celebrity in its database I resembled. Mutineers, I present to you a most inapposite result:
See whom YOU don’t look like by going to MyHeritage.com y’self.
:+:
Because I can’t resist my erstwhile spouse, the truth shall make you pee…with laughter:
:+:
Ek more. Apparently, when I’m drinking out of a coconut (only on Devon Ave I tell you…only on Devon Ave), I, too, resemble pretty Preity. Do any of you look like your celebrity match?
Ms. Anna,
My HeritageFaceRocognition is Alec Baldwin. Where is the Kim Bassinger? Gotta go………..
“Sorry, no faces were detected.”
Haha … I broke it.
I look like Jeff Goldblum, and I’m female.
lucy liu, ayumi hamasaki, enrico caruso???? madonna? eww…milla jovavich? double ewww..juliane moore, acckk – jennifer anniston, gregory hines?! lmao! u thant, and thmas klestil. wonder what would happen if i used another pic. 😉
I love a good reason to procrastinate, so I tried a few different photos. It told uber-desi me I look like Bridget Bardot, Alicia Keys, Amrita Rao and Lucille Ball!!
hahah! sharon tate, m. night shamalan! this is some fun stuff. some of these resemblnaces are kinda freaky, eerie and odd, other are kewl. thanks for sharing this.
Says here that I look like Ben Affleck.
Yeah, me too.
that pic above of kareena looks a bit like celine dion to me, who was one of the other results i received before stabbing my eyes out with hot forks of displeasure. my top results? beyonce, mariah, sarah michelle gellar. (?wtf?)
i’ve been pegged as bin ladin when i used a photo from my younger days. a more recent one – 6 years ago – told me I looke dlike uday hussein. now i am probably on the no fly list.
Oh, I look like the cuban dictator Fulgencio Batista. I’ll go and kill myself now 🙁
yeah, now is when i take back my kvetching about looking like celine dion. ouch, guys.
i’ve been pegged as bin ladin when i used a photo from my younger days. a more recent one – 6 years ago – told me I looke dlike uday hussein. now i am probably on the no fly list. don’t feel bad…i tried using a pic of my buddy jagdeep, and he got the same thing. hhmm…..i better not show him that site. i don’t think the site is partail to turbans, i’m afraid.
I just discovered what I’m doing with my next 2 hours. I look like Preity Zinta (in that we both have 2 eyes and a mouth, yes) and my younger brother is Martina Navratilova! This must be disseminated through my family at once.
ANNA you are being untruthful! Show the good people who your real match was. I was so ready to jump you when you sent us your first results. 😉
Here is my match. I’ve never even heard of him but apparently he wrote Fight Club.
I just uploaded another photo and it says Kevin Mitnick now so I’m aborting the suicide plan 🙂
Hahaaa 🙂 some coincidence or what..In today’s seinfeld: Jerry: so he looks like you and he’s working from the inside Frustru George : yea, i know, and I look like me and I am working from the outside.
This is a golden opportunity for Injuns to indulge in some wishful thinking 🙂 And did I mention, it tells me I look like uberly Munichenous Eric Bana, only 3/4th the height though.
Ok, the last 6 photos I ran all told me that I look like this chick. (Prepare for an eyeful!!) I have no idea who she is but I’m guessing Israeli porn star?? Who knew?! Can I put that on my biodata?
ask because I’m doing an academic survey (and the results will be treated confidentially) but did the ummai happen ?
Moh’d koya.
Hey Rupa, can I get your number? 🙂
I got Thierry Henry to 64%, i’m glad it admits its faults; suspect!
Ms. Rupa,
She is a super-model from Israel.
Only if it’s ok with Patrick Stewart.
I’m just kidding Anna! You so pretty 🙂
sigh. it’s cool, i deserve it. go ahead, give abhi your digits. 😀
this is what i get for losing a few pounds and hacking off my hair. to a computer, i now resemble a chiseled, bald sci-fi icon. 😉 it’s flawless justice, really. i’ve never watched an entire episode of ANY of the star trek shows. make it live long so prosper…ah, i give up.
I know, I’m such a philanderer. I can change 🙁
I tried this a couple of weeks ago with a bunch of pics and discovered the “secret”: it don’t have shit to do with “your heritage.” It’s all about what you’re doing in the pic. Looking stage left with eyes wide open? It’ll find pics that have the same basic look.
Either that or I really do look like Christian Slater.
63% like Will Smith and 52% like Cary Grant. Yeah so I got some black and some white — chocolate anyone?
Anna, poor baby, I’ll take your number. And then put you on speed-dial too.
natalie portman, yoko ono, salman khan (!?), halle berry, and preity zinta…in that order. i tried it a second time with another photo and got katrina kaif, george michael, berry white(yeah!!!), and hillary clinton.
Apparently, my mom looks like Kajol, which will definitely make her happy… 🙂
first try:
shakira
let me try this again.. hm… this is so funny! what a way to start off friday morning!
in order.. shakira emma watson jodie foster christina ricci aishwairya rai
damn i need to put the last one on my biodata. 😉 see this is useful for something …hehe… thanks anna for this ‘upgrade your biodata’ site.. i’m having too much fun.. darn it, and i thought i’d be more productive this morning..
I don’t know how I will Look like. The agent.
Looks like Rupa really does live up to her name 😉 Nice to see that SM is being infiltrated by quite a few undercover sohniye these days.
Aha, definitely another candidate for the eagerly-awaited “Sepia Mutiny Swimsuit Edition 2006″…..
Wonders if Rupa is going to send her 4 seven-foot brothers to ‘politely beat Jai up’
hahaha…
Audrey Tautou from Amelie on one picture and Kajol on another…
but i flipped through all the pictures—i also had Aretha Franklin, Meryl Streep, and Beyonce…
i think the common factor is the shape of our faces in those pictures or something.
chickpea:
HAHAHAHA… you crack me up!
Oh my friggin God! I got Ozzy Osbourne!!! Apparently because we both have long black hair and black sunglasses in the picture, we match! I’m going to go bury myself under the covers now.
(jealous of chick pea because she got my idol, aishwarya)
Me too, I broke the damn thing…6 pictures with ZERO results. The Exotic-meter went into overdrive and blew itself up, I think.
awww, no you didn’t. if i used a picture that wasn’t perfectly straight on, i got zero results as well, since it was hard to scan my face. well, i got zero or patrick stewart. not sure which i prefer. 😉
Wow .. I accidentally unjinxed myself. On my next try, I got Aishwarya =) Ok Anna, I like this thing again.
A picture of me at age 16 pulled up the following (I haven’t changed the order, either): Liv Tyler, Bette Davis, Danny DeVito, Lindsay Lohan (I’m assuming before she lost her big knockers), Harry Mancini, Mariah Carey, and Bipasha Basu.
……..right…..
A recent picture of me pulled up these: Zhang Ziyi (Because I’m a chinese geisha now..), Ninet Tayeb, Sofia Coppola (ugh), Audrey Tautou, Whoopi Goldberg (no comment), Beyonce Knowles (maybe in the badunkadunk), Kajol (maybe because of the semi uni), Priyanka Chopra, Naomi Watts, Kate Winslet (I’ll never let go! vomit)
This is fun. I’ll def. be passing this site around during my constitutional law class. 🙂
Mine came back with Saif Ali Khan, Rajiv Gandhi, Tom Cruise and Nat King Cole .. 🙂
I got Demi Moore! Where is my Ashton…. mummy wants to spank him…Is that sick? Hey who cares, people cant take it cos for once the shoe is on the other foot, and babe they are Manolo’s! Then I got Aishwairya Rai, she is not exciting…..
Hey wait a minute .. mine has Salema Hayek and Linus Torvalds too.
So from Tom Cruise too Linus Torvalds to Salma Hayek …. How wierd.
Looks like the software does not take gender or skin pigmentation into account. Outsource it to Bangalore – they’ll do a better job!
Of all the posts, the only one for which the software seems to have done it’s job well is Abhi’s. Chuck’s cheek-skin curvature is very close to Abhi’s.
M. Nam
mine had beauty and a geek both in it. 🙂
This thing is hilarious! I went from Kiera Knightley to Alicia Keys to Madonna to George Clooney. I am pure bred guju so I am surprised that I didn’t match any indians.
The funniest thing is that my co-worker’s little niece (less then a year old) looked like Bob Marley.
So what have we concluded from this? The thing is completely inaccurate!
Maisnon is right, it’s about what you’re doing. The only pics I had on a uni computer were the ones of me online, which are me holding a gun and grinning or me hungover. I found one of me being normal but slightly sideways on and it gave me José Carreras, who was turned to the exact same angle in his pic. At least it didn’t say Pavarotti. Then I got home and used another – I’m Uma Thurman! And lastly, Tommy Lee Jones!
Either I look like a girl or I’m an old man.
Jai, I’m sure Rupa wants someone she’s got a lot in common with. Someone who can empathise with her, help her with coursework…someone like, I don’t know, a medical student.
i was actually fine with that– wrt gender, i know plenty of boys and girls who are ringers for their opposite-gendered parent. i know i certainly don’t look like my mom, but i do resemble one of my dad’s (nine) brothers. as for skin pigmentation…eh. my mom is very fair, my father was not. i’ve seen super pale kids come out of very brown parents.
halle berry has very distinctive features…to me she looks somewhat like a white girl dipped in milk chocolate. what do you notice about halle first? her face or her skin? then again, what do i know. paging razib! 😉
what?! are you saying i don’t look like patrick stewart?! 😀
OMG Anna you have created a monster. I will definitely get fired today for adding to my existing addiction to SM. I fear everyday they will just cut me off from the site and I’ll go “postal” on them. Do people in Finance go postal?
Anyway Patrick Stewart is hot, atleast it didn’t say you looked like Bin Laden 🙂 hehehe Turbanhead!!
The closest match I got was 69%… Madonna 69% Beyonce 66% Aishwarya Rai 65% Shirley Maclaine 65% (how the fuck do you go from Beyonce, Aish to Shirley in one % is beyond me) Bette Davis 64% Christina Ricci 62% (persoanlly I think that should be my closest match because I can see why my face structure resembels hers)
On my second attempt I got Charles Manson. After that I stopped.
The same way you go from Bette Davis to Danny DeVito to Lindsay Lohan in one sweep.
