Intermission: Link Dump
Hey, I’m still celebrating Christmas, so for you weirdos sitting at the computer (hey, I’m just taking a teensy little computer break), here are a few links:
* Via ISOU, a guy with a (semi-) rant that sounds familiar. And watch, because I linked to it, someone who doesn’t know better will undoubtedly ASSume that I’m a “moderate” or a “moonbat.” Heh.
* But I’m NOT a slut!
* Beth is a Giant Robot that Glows in the Dark, emits Clouds of Inky Smoke, has Suckers on its Feet and Dozens of Tentacles, and can Phase in and out of Existence. John is a Giant Ape that eats Trees, spits Ice, cowers from Fire, and has a Swirly Hypnotic Gaze. Guess who wins the battle?
* Stack Trace - click the bars that are on top (not overlapped by another), and keep going. It’s maddening.
* Drunk Santa needs help delivering presents!
* What friends are for (remember this on New Year’s Eve, kids)
* Don’t let a smartass borrow your car
* Who do you look like? Apparently, I look like either a 15 year-old (72% Emma Watson? NOT!) or (71%) Halle Berry or (70%) Madonna, Beyonce Knowles, Mira Sorvino, and Aishwariya Rai. One WASP-y teenager, two black women, two Italian women, and one Indian woman. (???) Oddly enough, I uploaded my daughter’s picture and she got Emma Watson too (although it was a younger picture of her). I still say neither one of us looks a bit like her. And yes, I am quite happy to be compared with Halle Berry and Beyonce Knowles, not so much with Madonna or Mira Sorvino. I REALLY don’t think I look anything like any of them, though. See for yourself.

No way:
Emma Watson

Uday, You Say?
I debated whether or not to write about this. But what the heck. We’re all friends, right?
This morning, I saw Beth’s link dump post, and one of the items was a link to a face recognition site. And I tried it.
Now, I wasn’t overly …
Gary says:
Beth,
I tried out that site and it matched with (in order)Kiefer Sutherland, Danny Kaye, John Cleese and Ariel Sharon(?!). What are they using for criteria?
Gary says:
…And to make matters worse, I tried another picture and the first and second matches were Annette Bening and Hillary Clinton (and I had a moustache AND beard in that photo!)
Holly Aho says:
I tried it with 3 totally different pics of myself and it kept returning Kate Blanchet and Gwenyth Paltro (I’m sure I just totally spelled their names wrong!). I was trying to see if I could trick it…you know, with make-up, without, profile, facing camera. I guess not. I didn’t get any high ranking scores though - just 68% match or less. Hmmmm…
I’m not even going to TRY the slut meter with my last name!!
Alexandra says:
Beth,
Sorry to get in touch this way, but won’t you be a darling and send me your email address, for next time.
I have been wanting to invite you to give me your list of The Ten Worst Americans Ever, here. Some bloggers have written a post and then simply linked, whatever works for you….

LOOK AT ME, I’M SANDRA DEE
Actually according to My Heritage Face Recognition I look more like Brigitte Bardot. Hmm, I don’t think I’ve ever been accused of that before. I will say that I think if I had to pick the celebrity I think…
Janette says:
I ran three photos and it said Brigitte Bardot each time (72%). :roll: Right. Like I wouldn’t kill for those lips. I also ran Hubby through and all his hits were lower than 50% but one was Howard Dean. Um, I think he’s gonna have to sleep alone until I forget about that.
