I am 71% Greta Garbo

Personally, I always thought I looked like Carrie Fisher. I tried this with another photo and got a completely different lot of celebs, most of whom were male.
Nota bene that I do not look like Nicole Kidman. Not even a little bit, in the dark, standing on a box with the light behind me.
P.S. The hand’s getting better. I bought a mouse, and a pig made of glow in the dark jelly which is actually a wrist rest, and a wonderful thing. I also got a low-end wacom tablet for photoshop work.
I went looking for an ergonomic chair and found one that was good for me, but the saleswoman wouldn’t let me have it, on account of how it perfectly matched the desk it was with in the showroom. She said I could have the same model in a different colour. Being a paranoid goldilocks I tried it out, and it wasn’t as comfortable. I couldn’t figure out why. In the end I asked her to get a tape measure. Sure enough, the (welded, non-adjustable) arms on the second chair were 5cm further apart than those on the first. Which made a difference. I’m going back, on Stu’s clever advice, to ask her if she could order one in the same colour for the showroom and let me have the one I tried.

in my latest attempt I was 68% Kurt Cobain and 62% George Lucas.. Personally I think there’s probably a joke there somewhere.

Colin - was it the piece of cod which passeth understanding?
Dave - Hmmm… someone sets Vader’s control box to Cobain’s vocal style as a prank? (Best I could come up with on short notice, sorry.)

Well, there’s also Robert Redford and Tim Curry.
Maybe it thinks I’m a heavy breathing, force choking cowboy ex-spy who was Luke’s father and offered fabulous hotel service, with a perchance for changing guns into flash lights, small fuzzy things, and bull whips and Nazis, all the while mumbling drunken lyrics and hanging out with Courtney Love.
It’s not more than 60% true, though.

Tim Curry?
“Well, really, Vader! That’s no way to behave on your first day out. But since you’re such an exceptional beauty…”

there is a horror story in all of this somewhere. I don’t want to dig in my psych to find it.
August 13th, 2007 at 3:16 pm
Tim Curry is a horror story.
I did one of these a while back and got mostly J-pop chicks. While I am flattered that the thing apparently thinks I am a cute and tiny asian woman, I tend to think it was rather confused. Especially since one of the selections that was not a cute asian chick was a very old asian man.
…I, I don’t even look the slightest bit asian…

Dave - I think the horror story is Celebrity Frankenstein.
Laurie - lol for the old Asian guy! I just tried it with yet another photo and I got 68% Johnathan Rhys Meyers. I fucking wish. (I also got Brandon Lee and Goro Inagaki, so obviously I look like an Asian man too. Haven’t got any black dudes yet, though.) And Ariel Sharon - woohoo! Pretty, I feel pretty…

Hmmm…60% George Clooney, apparently. The years have must have been kinder than I thought…

Shall I cross the line of bad taste? I think I shall.
We have George Lucas in his first major in front of the camera roll playing the enigmatic Dr. Frankenstein, Tim Curry in a dramatic re imagining of the assistant, Robert Redford in full Carlovian regalia playing the Monster, and Kurt Cobain, doing duel rolls as house boy and leader of the angry, fire branding mob.

my younger brother came up as 97% chuck norris.
he doesn’t even have the facial hair

Stu (who looks rather like Tim Curry with a ponytail, probably because he looks like Dave) got some petite blonde starlet whose name I’ve already forgotten. And Coolio.
Note that I only look like Ariel Sharon when I am wearing Tanith Lee’s goth wig.
This is stupidly addictive. I will stop now.
Colin, that’s just scary about your brother.
