Today's fun Internet toy: www.faceanalyzer.com.
Here, you can plug in a photo of yourself (or your favorite red-headed Aussie actor). The biometric software will measure and analyze your facial features, then rate you on a variety of traits: race, income, intelligence, sociability, gayness. Also, they'll tell you who your closest "celebrity match" is.
First, I submitted a screen cap of Josh from BTS, grabbed at random off the internet. Faceanalyzer.com decided Josh's ancestry was half Eastern European and half Anglo/Saxon. His income and sociability were rated very high and he was labelled an "Alpha Charmer". Strangely enough, his promiscuity fell on the "very low" end of the scale. (Well, he *was* faithful to Cyn for the entire three days. As far as we know.)
I was hoping David would get "celebrity matched" with himself, but Faceanalyzer decided Josh's nearest Celebrity Match was Prince William. Hm...yeah. I could see that.
Next, I fed in a picture of Johnny Spitieri. The Analyze-o-Matic guessed that Spit was a 100% Korean/Japanese academic, with a high income. Johnny's Celebrity Match was Quentin Tarantino. Ho ho ho.
Finally, I tried it out on my own face. Faceanalyzer.com guessed my ethnicity as 30% Middle Eastern, 60% Southern European, and 10% East Indian (wrong! wrong! wrong!), rated me as averagely intelligent and not-very-gay, and said my closest celebrity facial matches were Britney Spears and Paris Hilton, apparently based on the fact that all three of us possess faces.
So if nothing else, this site is good for a few laughs.
