Phone system hell. You've been there and back. I offer these links to shorten your commute.

Paul English's website, the fella that methodically tracked down the specific steps for the shortcuts in and out of these circles of hell.

Writeup of Mr English's work in the local paper.

Quicklist of shortcuts from paper.

NPR story of same.

I got caught up in one of those computerized recording loops when calling Qwest about a problem recently. The problem was static on my phone line. The computer on the other end kept asking me what I wanted and not understanding because of the static. I finally started shreiking into the phone "HUMAN BEING!" This apparently got thru over the static and I was switched to a live customer rep.

There is a reason that was part of Master's advertising campaign. Back in the 70s, wasn't it?

Ha! Thanks Zippyt, this thing is awesome!

I entered in two reasonably different pictures of myself, and it did pick a lot of the same people twice.

Now, how do I tell my husband his top seven faces were all women?

Wolf, I ran your pic from 2003 Forks. Is there something you're not telling us? It was a tie between Redford and Saddam Hussein.

How are you saving the resulting celeb photo?
LJ got Bob Dylan, Ron Reagan, Hillary Duff and Gerard Depardieu. I got Sharon Tate, Christina Aguilera and Katie Holmes.

SHIFT-PRINT SCREEN, paste into editor (Irfanview or Microsoft Paint) and crop.

My gallery seems heavily into science and arts. It must be the beard and glasses. I always thought I looked like Pavoratti, so I'm surprised he's not the first on the list.

Interesting, because I ran three different pictures and the result was "no matches."

(Despite rumors to the contrary, I am all original parts)

Wolf, do I detect a teensy bit of sarcasm there? Becuase I know that I am the spitting image of Sharon Tate, so this thing must be right on.




It was her autopsy photo, but still...
