MyHeritage.com puts a new face on face recognition
The celebrity I most resemble is Dominic Monaghan -- at least according to the Web site MyHeritage.com. The site calculates that resemblance at 68%, mind you. OK. I can see it. Maybe I have Hobbit blood. (I guess I should add that I also bear a reported 62% resemblance to Jerry Bruckheimer.)

One of the site's clever tricks is, it lets you upload a mugshot of yourself (or anyone, for that matter; the pic should be large, and the subject should be forward-facing. The site recommends the subject should not be smiling, but my girlfriend reports getting preferable results with a smiling shot). [ MORE ]
