Find and Adopt a Dog Who Looks Just Like You! "Doggelgänger"

The site uses NEC’s facial recognition technology, normally used for anti-terrorism and border control, to analyze a photo of your face (that you either upload or take with your webcam) and compare your facial features with those from dog photos they have in their database. The software then matches you up with a current stray looking for a home, who happens to look a lot like you.

“In his five short weeks of life, Orbit hasn’t met many other owls. So he isn’t at all worried that his new best friend doesn’t hoot back. The orphaned chick is perfectly content in the company of the stuffed bird perched next to him and is never far from his side. Orbit, a common barn owl, was given the toy by Lyndsey Wood, his carer at Folly Farm, near Narberth in West Wales. She said: ‘A friend suggested that I find something like a toy owl to stop Orbit feeling lonely. I thought he might try to eat it, but he just cuddles up to it and goes to sleep.’”

“its obvious now that i’m the only sane one here! we already are savages, tyrese. you especially! the second we put a bullet in the head of one of these undead monsters— the moment one of us drove a hammer into one of their faces— or cut a head off. we became what we are! and that’s just it. that’s what this comes down to. you people don’t know what we are. we’re surrounded by the dead. we’re among them— and when we finally give up we become them! we’re living on borrowed time here. every minute of our life is a minute we steal from them! you see them out there. you know that when we die— we become them. you think we hide behind walls to protect us from the walking dead! don’t you get it? WE ARE THE WALKING DEAD!” —rick, the walking dead
