Proof that I look like Niels Bohr
Posted on | April 22, 2006 6 Comments | e-mail | print
Rockstar Mommy linked to this thing called MyHeritage Face Recognition. What an entertaining idea: You upload your picture to find visual matches for your face from a bank of celebrity possibilities.
I uploaded two, for variety: b and e, as seen below. I got, in return:
- a. Liv Tyler say what?
- c. Jennifer Garner (shah!)
- d. Niels Bohr hrrmph
- f. David Fucking Schwimmer
- g. Sean Astin as a hobbit
- i. Edith Piaf. (who?)
I added h., Harry Shearer, to prove my earlier point.

Leaving me a comment, eh? Have I mentioned how gorgeous you look in that shirt/kilt/jumpsuit/riding ensemble?
who’s there?
Oh hey you guys, it's me, Supa. Things I enjoy: talking on my bananaphone, being a nerd, writing, sewing, writing about sewing, giving my husband high-fives, playing Nintendo with my kids, playing with technological gadgetry, knitting, and reading decorating books. Did I write down nachos? Add that in there.

Wow, that is UNCANNY. Nils Bohr DOES look like you. Wonder what his ass looks like.
The folks at MyHeritage do not confirm my stark resemblance to post-pork-out Philip Seymour Hoffman. Dubious, dubious…

David Schwimmer? Seriously, this calls for a full bathtub and razors. The horror! (Wasn’t that the same photo that you got the Unabomber treatment for?)

See? I knew I liked you. Edith Piaf is one of my favorites.

It is uncanny, the resemblance between you and Niels Bor. I think the Liv Tyler is on, too.
Reply to thisI got Gwyneth Paltrow and Tom Petty! Tom effin Petty! off the same picture. They also threw in Freddie Prinze Junior, Juliane Moore, Bebe Newirth, Emmy Rossum and the Thorpedo!

Isn’t it weird? I mean, I don’t even know who he is, but he’s like, my twin. In science. My male science olden days twin.
Yeah, Malnurtured Snay, I think that is the Unabomber picture.
Ada, tell me, because I’m too lazy to google: Who’s Edith Piaf?
Elizabeth, I think Gwyneth Paltrow is one of the most beautiful people in the world. Uh, Tom Petty? For serious? Because him not so much. Of course, I got DAVID FUCKING SCHWIMMER and a hobbit so in comparison you are doing A-OK.

[…] I’ve been meaning to post a link to My Heritage that I found via Rockstar Mommy last week or something. Then I was visiting Mary Beth’s site, and she had done it too (check it out! she has pictures). So that prompted me to actually try it out and do the post I’ve been planning on. I’ve done it 3 times so far (you can keep uploading new photos of yourself), but the second time, I wasn’t pleased with the results. Anyhow, the point of it is: to see which celebrities you resemble using their sophisitcated “face-recognition” software. It even gives percentages. Memorable celebrities from the first picture I used were Gwyneth Paltrow and Tom Petty! The most recent time I got a 74% for Bette Davis. It must be the eyes. (It also came up with Judy Garland, Mira Sorvino, Mary Kate Olsen and Marylin Manson on that same one). Regardless, it was fun. I have to go through some more pictures and see what it comes up with.
