Time To Waste On My Face
You might have seen this internet thingy. It's a face-recognition software on MyHeritage.com. You upload a pic, it goes through some calculations and tells you what celebrity you supposedly look like. The gizmo seemed quite convinced that I look like Selma Blair! Apologies to Selma, who looks nothing like a middle-aged man to me, but there you have it. It gives some other options, in my case Johnny Knoxville, Shahrukh Khan, Liam Neeson, Michael Landon, and Ben Kingsley.

I tried a different photo, this one a three-quarter view where I had a goatee. Oddly, the first guy up was M. Night Shyamalan. It was quite a list from there -- Francois Truffaut, David Blaine, Richard Stallman, Richard Nixon (!), Omar Sharif, Russel Crowe, Chad Michael Murray, Haile Selassie, and Michael Keaton. Coincidentally, as I looked up the people I hadn't heard of, I found a quote from Richard Nixon praising Haile Selassie, who was the Emperor of Ethiopia back in the day.

I believe that this software is similar to what they use to spot terrorists at airports and so on. Noted without comment.
