Alright, if you're a fellow blogger who's ever tagged Wendy or I with a MEME, consider yourself tagged as of right now.

Our friend Otis told us about this website, and we thought it was pretty funny... so it's not a real MEME, per se. It's not making the rounds in the blogosphere. It's just something that we stumbled across.

Here's what to do:

• Go to the Face Recognition Tool at MyHeritage.com.



• Register to use the site. It's quick, you have to give 'em an e-mail address and create a password. If you're like us, you have a yahoo e-mail address that you save for just such an occasion. It basically just collects spam and we empty it once a week.



• Upload a picture of yourself and have the site generate a list, complete with photos, of the celebrities you look like.



• You don't have to go to the trouble of posting the pictures like I did, but you should at least post a list of the names of the celebs you resemble... well, the ones your resemble according to MyHeritage.com.

As you can see below, the resemblances they come up with are often a bit confusing.

Wendy wasn't that into the idea, but finally she let me take a quick picture of her and upload it to the site. This is the picture, right here.

The grid below represents the celebrities that MyHeritage.com says that Wendy looks like:

Just a few comments on my part: I can kinda see Anjelica Huston and, maybe, Amy Lee just a little bit. Wendy's Mom actually looks a bit like Geri Halliwell (just a little bit), so maybe they're onto something with that one. Melanie Griffith? Pam Anderson? Come on! Both of those women have had so much plastic surgery that they don't even look like people anymore! My wife doesn't look anything like those two freaks.

And it goes without saying that the best way to get me to punch you is to tell me my wife looks like Hillary Clinton.


The results for Wendy weren't that promising, but I went ahead and had her take a quick picture of me. That's it to the left. It's an awful picture, so right away my hopes weren't very high. By the way, there was a time when my hairline wasn't on the top of my head. Oh, well. At least I'm not doing the comb-over thing. Anyway, with clinched teeth and a belly full of dread, I went ahead and uploaded the picture, and this is the list of celebs that the good folks at MyHeritage.com came up with:

My reaction:

Gene Hackman, Johnny Depp, and Gary Oldman are all great actors. Gary Oldman, in fact, is just about my all-time favorite actor, so I'm cool with those guys.

Mr T? Well, what the hell. Why not?

Tom Green? No way. I look more like Al Green than Tom Green.

Now for the ultimate irony: My friend Otis looks EXACTLY like Matthew Lillard. People are always telling him that he looks like Matthew Lillard. In fact, he once told me that the very first words his wife ever said to him were that he looks like Matthew Lillard. So did MyHerritage.com tell Otis that he looks like Matthew Lillard? Nooooo. When he ran his own photo through, MyHerritage.com told Otis that he looks like Denzel Washington.

So, there ya go. That's your MEME challenge, should you decide to accept it. Upload a photo and post a list of the celebs that this website thinks you look like. If you feel particularly ambitious, post some of the pictures. Then, leave a comment here so we'll know to check it out.

We tried to upload a photo of one of our favorite bloggers ourselves... but the software at MyHeritage.com had some trouble coming up with a match:
