FUN: My experiment with MyHeritage.com

I recently came across a website that allows you to see if you look like someone famous. I logged onto MyHeritage.com and uploaded a photo in the facial recognition section and here's one of the results I got (the first was some young actor I had never heard of):

Now that's an interesting match. Leaving aside the gender question for now, how did they manage to get part of the ethnicity right?

It's not enthnicity at all--their only yardstick is beauty. That's the only criterion for matching people.

Sree, on another posting of Norah Jones (Jan. 21, 2007), refering to her third album you stated, "we will keep an eye here on the coverage she gets." Why the sudden interest and coverage of Norah Jones? Is it because MyHeritage.com displayed her profile looked like yours?

It is funny!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You have a great sense of humor.

Unless you write OVER a thousand words a picture needs no words that we haven't heard. If that doesn't make sense try nonsense. Commonsense is all done.

The way jaya handles the truth he should work for the weather bureau. if he asks you to guess how much he made last year, you are safe in saying "half." I like liars because liars never end up as vegetarians or theologians.

And after all is said and done a picture is a lot more fun largely because photoshop is more fun-tracked than the other one. Try photoshop and look like particularly no one. And when done look for me so that together we can get your Musharraf thesis undone. JUST LIKE SNORAH JONES PUTTING CHILDREN TO SLEEP ONE BY ONE.

Jugal Kishore,

I think you should watch what you say when you label people. There is no one on this forum whose life has been exposed more than mine, because I am a fairly open person with my thoughts and ideas. I feel if I put my thoughts on the table, others might also do the same, and we could have wonderful exchange of ideas.

If you want to know how much I made last year, it is zilch. I am retired. These last few years I have been busy working on my memoir, as my health has not been up to par as it was during my consulting years.

I think you should save yourself time and stop browsing through all the archived postings where I have made comments, just so that you can find a fault angle to respond. When I am gone, then you can go through all my comments and write my autobiography if you want. I think I have left enough of a legacy of them on this forum. Until then, your time is better spent debating on current postings. I am not afraid to speak my mind, neither am I afraid of being challenged.
