1190: Lies! (Part 2)

After receiving my baffling results from My Heritage, I decided to give it another shot -- this time, with a different face. What better way to test My Heritage than to up the ante with my little sidekick's visage?

It wasn't easy getting a photo of this guy that didn't make him look slightly crazier than his owner did in hers. He isn't a ruby-eyed rabbit at all; there's probably some filter I ought to be using to counter that, but he only gets those freaky-deaky eyes when he's photography. And he's not always a willing subject...

By the time you have yourself in position to photograph him, he's already lunged at the camera or fled the scene entirely. (And, by the way, that brown spot on the back of his neck is normal for his breed.) After a few attempts, this was the best I could come up with:

I fired up My Heritage and uploaded Dewey's glamour shot. And the results were...

Nothing! My Heritage couldn't find a single suggested match -- which is understandable, I suppose, because Dewey is a rabbit. Frankly, I'm kind of disappointed. I was looking forward to finding out that My Heritage thinks Dewey looks like Lou Diamond Phillips. Or something.

If I had to guess, I'd say Dewey was some combination of the following...

Naturally.

OK, so My Heritage is smart enough to tell a bunny from a human. But can it recognize the face of a celebrity most likely already in its database of faces? Let's see...

Yes! Kinda! Lindsay Lohan is about 97% like Lindsay Lohan. My Heritage works after all!
