Just had a rather odd experience here: http://www.myheritage.com/FP/Company/tr ... g0&lang=EN

It's a face recognition thing that tells you who you supposedly look like.

As far as males go, I'm some weird lovechild of Roy Orbison, Arthur C Clarke, Ewan McGregor, Malcolm McDowell and Patrick Stewart.
Lawrence Fishbourne, Eddie Murphy and Carl Lewis also came up, but I think they must contibute to my dazzling perfectly-timed wit, rather than any physical characteristics. ;)

The disturbing thing is the female matches. Once when discussing "who we liked off the telly" girlfriend claimed "bah! you only like girls who look like you!". An odd statement, which I scoffed at at the time - but according to the face-matcher - it's a virtual list of the ones I mentioned:

Natalie Portman, Jodie Foster, Emma Ward, Kiera Knightley, Helena Bonham-Carter, Christina Ricci, Nicole Kidman, Beyonce Knowles, Uma Thurman, Gillian Anderson

Spooky stuff. Obviously I don't actually look like any of these fine ladies there are just similar facial elements.

Have fun with your own mugshots!

I got a Terry Nutkins error.
This script has formed an unrecoverable error because you look like Terry Nutkins.

Agreed. John Woo is an overrated pigeon fancier.

"ooh look - they've got two guns!"

Whoopdefuck isn't that the best thing ever then? Because clearly somone holding two guns in a film means that it's double the brilliance.

Two guns!? Slow motion!? Doves!? My god it's like the best film ever, despite the fact he's used the same fucking style in every single one of his films! Aaaarrgggh! :x
