Random nonsense: Celebrity Face Match

What you do is upload a picture of your own sweet face (or the other face if you prefer), and wait about 20 seconds while the app. matches you with celebrities. Feeling a bit metrosexual I let it match me against male and female celebs. Turns out that my top three facial matches were ... drum roll ... Rebecca de Mornay (who?), Avril Lavigne and Harrison Ford. Actually I can see why, on the basis of my picture (yes the one currently on this very blog somewhere), those selections may have been made. I'm not convinced, however, that a real live human being would sit us together and say how alike we are.
I'm wondering whether someone is using this to beta-test their face-recognition algorithm.
