I should have never found out about MyHeritage’s Face Recognition program. You can upload photos and see what celebrities their face recognition software matches you with. My most frequent matches were Melissa Gilbert, Renee Zellweger, Juliette Lewis, Marcia Cross, Kirsten Dunst and Emma Watson, with the occasional (and weird) Harrison Ford, Englebert Humperdinck and Conan O’Brian thrown in. When I ran this photo, Karen’s top match was Clark Gable and mine was Keith Ledger. So that was weird. Who do you look like?

Just had to share this snippet from today’s Borowitz Report:
Elsewhere, exposure to alcohol advertising may be a contributing factor to underage drinking, according to a new study published today in “Duh” magazine.
That’s exactly how I felt after reading about those findings. Of course, it will still take 20 years before the alcohol industry actually owns up to the problem.
Scientist Fiction

Here is Kerrigan’s rant as I could not have said it better myself:
ummmmm…..so rather than fund education, let’s just make movies and have the kids learn from them instead! because we all know how much accurate science there is in movies – hell, I watched enough ER to get my degree in medical science!
Anyway, that’s not quite the point of the article, ’cause the Pentagon wants the movies to inspire kids to study science and stop the brain drain, but if you inspire them and then refuse to educate them, you haven’t done a whole lot.
Kidsbeer
I can’t even make up something as ludicrous as “Kidsbeer”:http://www.japantimes.co.jp/cgi-bin/getarticle.pl5?nb20050806a1.htm. Of course, I was a big fan of bubble gum cigarettes as a kid, so I probably shouldn’t throw stones.
stop that baby!
Meanwhile, back in the police state…
Infants have been stopped from boarding planes at airports throughout the U.S. because their names are the same as or similar to those of possible terrorists on the government’s “no-fly list.”
I don’t have to make this stuff up, folks.
