You like to think that you look like a movie star. Unfortunately, sometimes that movie star is Andy Dick. Want a second opinion? Head to MyHeritage.com, a website with the greater purpose of doing genealogy research through facial recognition software. Although locating your third cousin once removed is exciting, it’s MyHeritage’s other feature that will keep you from getting any work done at the office. The site lets users upload photos of themselves, then scans the photo for facial features and delivers a gallery of celebrities who match those characteristics. Warning: For every ego-massaging match like Charlize Theron or Ashton Kutcher, there’s a disastrous random hit like Michael Jackson that may have you opting for your own plastic surgery. Whether you resemble Kate Hudson or Jesse Jackson (or both), though, this site is highly addictive.
