I came across some face recognition software that will take an uploaded image of you and match it with celebrity look-alikes. Here is the image of myself I uploaded:


The software surveyed 3200 celebrities from the previous two centuries and came back with this celebrity look-alike...

Marilyn Manson? Well, maybe. In the photo I uploaded I wasn't wearing makeup (and my hair was combed and I had slept well the night before).

My real fear is that if Manson ever shows up on a terrorist watchlist--a possibility worth considering--I might be stopped in his place. Or I might be mobbed by legions of fans wanting an autograph, or a pint of blood, or something. The face recognition software provided some alternatives, I'm happy to say.



I confess I don't see myself in any of these faces, though I suppose if Robert Redford and Joan Baez had a love child it would look something like me. Or maybe it would more resemble Rutherford B. Hayes.

As a fan of the PBS series Scientific American Frontiers, I'd like to think I could be confused with Alan Alda.
