Picture This

I am a bit cagey about personal photos on my blog.

After all, with the number of people I annoy, and the pending litigations, anonymity is best advised. Also, I am not keen to attract the attention of the immigration police, or Interpol, or the Women’s Institute.

The beautiful American in Norway posted a picture of herself on her blog this week.

I suggested she uploaded her picture at www.myheritage.com to check out the celebrity face recognition software for a bit of fun. She is a dead ringer for Whoopi Goldberg. This new technology is simply fucking amazing.

My own results were mind blowing.



Raoul Bova…ok… ya, sure!



Michael Stipe…back in the days when I had a heroin addiction and no hair.



My photo… I am not crazy about the lighting and I was feeling kinda down that day.

Can you see the similarities? I mean, they are uncanny aren’t they?

Who do you look like?

Major NSFW alert, beave! Or is that equine?

I would have thought given your name you'd be showing us, erm... other equipment, as it were.

OMG... thanks for making me wet myself while at my desk... Now not only do I look like Whoopie... I smell like pee... attractive!

@ian in hamburg: I think beaverboosh had to settle for that moniker because "carpet muncher" and "muff diver" were taken.

I dunno beaverboosh. We've not met IRL but, from your photo, you look kind of like a big prick. No offense, eh?

I'm sure your parents have lots of school pictures of you around the house.
