For the computer savvy:
My heritage is a site which allows you to place a photo and tells you who you most look like!
Daughter was mucking around with it while Ive been posting around the board here. She came up with 95% Angelina Jolie . Son's pic had him 93% Toby Maguire!
Ok..if you know how to use this see what you come up with . And wondering what would happen if the teams pics were put in there?
I have done it before. I forgot what happened thank god as it wasn't pleaseant. I might try i again my my goat tee I have got, which I might put in the Galllery section.
I did this a while back, too..it was hillarious! Can't remember who I got, though...need to find the results again...

I was agetting a bit worried about it.
Depends on the size and type of pic as well as the upload speed of your connection to the website server

Are you talking about loading the piccie on My Heritage? If I remember correctly...it took a few minutes to get results. 
Nice pic Metalliant....
Yeah I think it did take at least a minute or so...
Woohoo! Metaliant! You dimple cheeked , goatee sporting, perfect nosed spunk you! Very nice pic! Well, better than a chicken suited Cep 
Yep, it definately depends computer, My kids ones took only a few seconds.
but Ive noticed it also depends on the angle of the pic youre sending.
One angle had me as Kirsty Ally and then another angled shot got me Scarlett Johansen!

I don't have any dimples. And it could have been worse. I didn't realise you look like Kirsty Ally and then Scarlett Johansen. Damm you must be good at disguieses.

Now I know why I thought about Mythbusters
myself.
/Just could not understand where the connection was made./ 
Adam(bearded guy) and Jamie(glasses guy) love to debunk myths. Esp. movie myths about guns and car crashes etc.
check out this link. http://dsc.discovery.com/fansites/mythbusters/about/about.html
Not sure if I am doing the link correctly.

Yep, Mythbusters is on in the UK. Very entertaining, but I can't remember if it's only on satellite/cable or if it's on terrestrial channels too.
And yes, Adam should have come up as one of Metaliant's lookalikes. Definitely.
then explain how it came up as Sj's!!!
ROTFL!!

Definitely.It can't be on terrestrial channels otherwise I would have seen it and since having Freeview, I can't have the Discovery channel unless I pay for the Top Up TV thingy and then I may have the discovery channel.

Definitely Adam, but missing the "I can't believe I get paid to do this!" look.
My parents have satellite, and there was a MythBusters marathon at Christmas. We taped it and watched an ep or two a day. Got a bit worried about the kids wanting to actually try some of those things.

Heh Heh speaking of: This week's episode looks cool. The guys are making a gigantic freaking speaker cone to put in the back of a car.
And knowing the guys ... it's going to be a doozy.

Hah, that's the one where they're trying to see whether a loud soundsystem can literally shake a car to bits isn't it?
I love the one where they do that thing that involves putting methane into huge columns of soap bubbles and then setting fire to them. Can't remember what it had to do with any kind of myth but it looked good.
Did they even need an excuse to blow up ,shred, and destroy nearly anything they touched "in the name of science"? 
Damn they are the coolest!! Makes me almost enjoy physics!
best of mythbusters!

OOOOOOooooo, I am bookmark this and watch it all weekend.
I remember doing this awhile back and I think it came up as Helena Christiansen and my male counterpart was Jon Bon Jovi. It must have had something to do with the way my bangs were in the picture.
The only person I've ever been told I look like is Jasmine Bleeth (the face not the body).

I remember them blowing up a house in the name of mythbusting .. The roach-bomb one.
The house didn't blow, they got all pissy, then MADE SURE they exploded the place.
Or what about the Cement mixer one? Couldn't confirm the myth, not enough bang, so they filled the whole darn thing with TNT ...
Or when they had Adam fart into a bottle so thay could analyze the contents of a fart to see if you could actually gas yourself to death ...
Heh.

OOOh, so glad they're still making them. Parents said the ones we saw at Xmas were all reruns, so I'd assumed the worst.
We'll keep it as a surprise for the kids.

These guys love to go all out.
They love to see a big bang. Take the exploding pants for example, .... or the exploding trombone
And give Jamie a gun, he is always looking for a bigger bang. 
Perhaps they have some condor in them.

I watched one this evening where they were recreating the Hindenburg. With home-made thermite. And their second team were trying to see whether running away from a crocodile/alligator in a zigzag manner would be more effective than running in a straight line - with a dummy equipped with "meat legs" made of fishnet stockings stuffed with quail. Flames and alligators, it's the stuff entertainment is made of.
[i]Or when they had Adam fart into a bottle so thay could analyze the contents of a fart to see if you could actually gas yourself to death ...I think also it depends on how much food that makes you fart as well.

Damn if Jamie didn't shoot that damn thing with pin-point precision!! Yeah, he's a Condor alright!

Don't remember that one. Will have to watch for it in reruns.
Saw him hit a cigarette lighter, and a pack of cards.
And love the shooting bullets into the water myth. Doesn't show any skill but ........ made me think.

Still working on it, I put another picture up to see who else it said....So we have a few candidates for Ken and Joe and Jun,.....mmmm should we take votes on this Joe well doesn't look that feminine I hope!
I tried Tiny and Keyop, but they must be too cartoony...no matches for any of the pics I tried...but Chief Anderson had some interesting matches!
I can definitely see Jared Padalecki for Joe/Jason...wonder why Jared Leto didn't come up for Ken?
Yeah I see that too just working out how to post pics in threads.....
Ebony...your picture is so cute!

Bibasha Basu for a more exotic Ken...cause he's such a pretty boy!
How about Coutney Cox for a Condor look alike hahaha.
I think he'd want to date Rachel Leigh Cook or at least have a rauncy week end with her...(Condor)..poor Jun didn't she get short changed for Ozzy!
