It’s not often that I have an inclination to blog about anything remotely high brow. To be honest, I can’t see it becoming a regular event either. But bear with me on this one. You might find it interesting too.
Let’s rewind about two weeks or so and recap the main story slightly…
It’s been a question we’ve all thought about at some point. Which celebrity do I most look like?
I know what you’re thinking. I remind you of Johnny Depp, right?
Fortunately, we can now answer that eternal question as those whizzy people over http://www.myheritage.com/ have created a very whizzy face recognition tool. Just upload a clear photo of yourself and it’ll strutt it’s funky stuff and match you to the nearest celeb. It’s all very clever.
So who do I most look like?
Hmmm, that’s right. I’m 61% like Michael Barrymore. Should I be worried about that? Or perhaps I should be more worried of being lynched due to my apparent passing resemblance of Chilean Dictator Augusto Pinochet.
…and we’ll not mention Missy Elliot.
Oh, I’ll hold my hands up, this isn’t actually the first photo I tried. It originally gave me a 78% match to Anna Nicole Smith! Holy shiiit.
I guess when it comes to counterfeit £1 coins, I’m a bit of a geek. I’ve blogged a couple of times before about fake coins, but it’s been a while, so I thought I’d post another small bunch.
If you’ve read the previous two parts in this ’series’, you’ll probably be quite familiar with common mistakes that counterfeiters make. It never really occured to me before, but perhaps fakers intentionally make ‘errors’ so that they can distinguish their own dodgy currency lying around from the pukka stuff that can be easily spent / laundered / exchanged / banked etc…? You’ll perhaps see what I mean later.
Anyway, remember, about 1 in every one hundred poind coins is supposedly counterfeit, so you’ve probably had quite a few in the past and just never noticed… read on…!
It’s 6am. I’m in the land of Nod, dreaming about Keeley.
Suddenly, I hear a noise. An odd, loud noise. I jolt back into semi-conciousness. Eyes open, I try and make sense of what I heard. Or, what I thought I heard.
60 seconds pass. Nothing. Must’ve been a dream. Half asleep, I close my eyes again.
“Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrughhhhhhhuuuhhhhuuuhgghhhgrrrr!”
Eyes open again. WTF was that? I daren’t move. It sounded close. Very close. 3/4 awake now! 30 seconds pass.
“Urrrrrrrrrrrrrrghhhuuuugrrrrrrrrrrrrrr grrrrrrr grrrrrrrrrrrrr!”
Oh my god! That’s like feet away. What the hell can it be? Wide awake now!
“Uhhhhhhrrrrrrrrrrrhggggggggghh hurrrrrrrrrrrng hurrrrrrp!!”
Ahh, yes. I know what that is. It’s my stomach growling. Doh! Never been woken up by that before. Ahem.
Ok, guess who is an Uncle again? Hmmmm. Tough one, eh!
Alright, I’ll give you a clue. Quite a big clue. It’s me!
In geek-speak, I think that basically translates to:
“Baby v1.0 has been successfully downloaded and installed. Your version of Life XP now needs to be restarted for settings to take effect.”
Congrats Deak, you da man! :-)
