"I feel pretty, oh so pretty..."

[hummingwolf]

Let's ignore for the moment the fact that today was a day full of sneezing, sniffling, coughing, and absolutely nothing productive (aside from the coughing). Let us also ignore the fact that I would be majorly stressing out over a wide variety of issues if I had the energy to do so. Let's think of happy things. Today nalidoll linked to this site, which proved to be the greatest source of amusement I have encountered all week. The site linked to appears to be in the formative stages of being a genealogy resource, but that particular page's function at the moment is to compare a photograph you upload to the pictures in the site's database and then tell you which celebrities (if any) you most resemble.

Now, I never have liked to get my picture taken, so there are not very many digital photos of me at all. But there are a few. When I tried the first few, the site couldn't find any matches at all. I persisted, however, and was well rewarded for my efforts, as the first celebrity list it produced was the following:

Primo Levi
James Callaghan
Peter Jackson
Kim Il Sung
Camilo Jose Cela
Donald Rumsfeld
Hans-Dietrich Genscher
Henry Kissinger
Ariel Sharon
Halle Berry

I cackled madly about this, and kept cackling randomly throughout the day.

After analyzing my baby photo (larger version of the picture in the icon), it gave me a more feminine and flattering list, with the top three being Renee Zellweger, Katie Holmes, and Werner Heisenberg (this last one is uncertain). And now when I look in the mirror I can't help thinking that I do look remarkably like a cross between Katie Holmes and Donald Rumsfeld. And here you all thought the KH/Tom Cruise pairing was scary. (For the record: I have never knowingly worked for the benefit of either the Bush Administration or the Church of Scientology.)

I can see your resemblance to all those people, if I squint my eyes and shake my head a bit! Okay, maybe not Monica Lewinsky. Your list contains *mostly* cool people, so I'm a bit jealous.
