Stuff that looks like stuff archive

Aref Adib's "Lookalike" archive is a remarkable collection of images that are improbably similar, from cauliflower heads and African workers relaxing on cotton bales to Tony Blair and Jack Nicholson.

Look-alikes (Thanks, Bill!)

That was entertaining: I giggled throught the whole thing! Pattern recognition is fun! :D

A lot of the images were stunningly similar (the cauliflower/cotton springs to mind), but others (the royal family) simply seem forced. A good site, sure, but it isn't all gold.

Here's something I noticed at the Presidential Inauguration. Dick Cheney bore a striking resemblance to Major Toht from "Raiders of the Lost Ark"

Kinda cheating if you have to put in the same background to make the connection.

Sorry, but these are all lame. If I were (even more) cynical, I'd call shenanigans on this as a forced meme.

Both sites made me laugh equally. Maybe I'm blessed with the happy gene!
