I uploaded a picture of me as a five-year old to myheritage.com... they said I look like Boris Karloff, Anne Frank & Katherine Hepburn.
I'm glad no one told me this when I was five

Will you kind hearted people please do me a a favor,
If you see me on anytime of the day for the rest of the day Im four hours behind the sever.
Please tell me to get back to my psychology studying. Its finals week.

I tried entering a bunch of different pics of me in myheritage.com. It seems they are going more with the angle of your face to the camera than anything else. Each picture I entered got completely different results.
I've put in three pics and I just keep getting Neve Campbell. Not that there's anything wrong with that, I just never thought I resembled Neve Campbell.
Well, I finally dug out a photo of myself and ran it through the myheritage site, and I'm gratified to learn that I apparently most resemble Kirk Douglas, John Kerry and Kenneth Branagh. Though none of them sport my handlebar mustache, or indeed any facial hair to speak of in their photos.
I'm pleased that I checked my wife's results before calling her to come see though - the top match was Harold Macmillan! (who did have a mustache, unlike my wife!) Patricia Arquette was pretty accurate, but Sheikh Ahmed Yassin takes the whole biscuit barrel - he's got a huge, white beard, for goodness' sake!
I think their software needs a bit more development

here's a snippet of a convo with ALLY that impressed me:
User: hi ally
Ally: hi how are you?
User: I am tired. I had coffee to keep me awake.
Ally: tired. i am fine too.
User: well good for you.
Ally: well good for asking.
User: yes, always good to exchange pleasantries.
Ally: always good to do think otherwise?
User: no.
Ally: no. hi hi how are fine.
That was a coherent convo, given that none of it was pre programmed.

During the trials and tribulations of the chatterbox challenge we are all under a certain amount of stress (sort of) so during this silent time of unadulterated breath holding I figure the PF bot masters should collate on some stress relieving humor... I tired to surf the web for a humorous pun on chat building but could not find it.
So why not the collective minds of the bot masters here be the first to think it up...
lets make a "you know you're addicted to chatter bots when" joke list! Theyre always the best in my book.

Hmmm I'll start with some easy ones.
You know you're addicted to chatterbots when....
Your friends tell you about something cute their child said, and you share a funny quote from your bot's transcripts.
When on a date, you start trying to find key phrases that will make your date's responses more interesting.
You start quizzing your friends to see if they are human or not. (How many fingers do most humans have on one hand? What is the purpose of a light bulb? Who is George Bush?)
You realize many of your friends are really bots.
You like to do you job on the computer with several other windows open so you can work on your bots.
You think you should be able to claim your bots as dependants on your income tax.
You watch a movie and think "How would my bot's character respond to that dialog?"
Oh, and here's one just for the PF
You read a news story about the work of a award winning scientist and think "I'd better post this at the PF and see what Ulrike and Psimagus think." Hey, the scientist may have a Nobel Prize, but Brother Jerome can play tic tac toe. I know whose opinion I trust.
