Facebook users have found a way to top the sharing your bra color meme, which I really could not participate in anyway: Celebrity Doppelganger Week.

It all started when some IT person put it to Facebookers to find their celebrity lookalike. The thing went viral immediatly, with folks replacing their profile picture with famous people they most resembled. The website MyHeritage.com became the go-to site for research, if you were unaware you looked like anyone. It even caused them to crash, from the flood of requests.

According to My Heritage, the celebrity that closest resembles me is- David Schwimmer.

Now, when this started, I was hesitant to upload a picture of him, since there are copyright laws about using celebrity pictures, and Facebook’s terms forbid it. I abstained from posting one, as a result. However, this idea intrigued me. What would the results be of my Bitstrips Avatar?

Well, the answer is– Desmond Llewelyn!

The man who played the ingenious ‘Q’ from the James Bond movies is my Doppelganger! Well, at least my cartoon version’s double!

You should try this! Get a Bitstrips account, make your avatar, and see who it closest resembles! I think you will be amazed!

If this isn’t creepy – Imagine in the movie “Meet the Parents”, Gaylord was playing with the Grammes URN that actually looked like Grammes. If you saw an urn shaped like the head of the dearly departed, you gotta wonder if they didn’t preserve the head and burn the rest.

Cremations Solutions is using 3D facial reconstruction to create these pots to keep the ashes of the loved ones. The skull comes off so you can get to and care for the ashes.

If you want something prettier, then Cremations Solutions will do a 3D reconstruction of your favorite celebrity (or as the website says – ‘celebraty’). Maybe Ed McMahon, Farrah Fawcett or Michael Jackson? Then you can say your Pop was a famous TV show sidekick, I guess.

A full size urn will run you $2,600, while the keepsake will only cost $600. To compare, a casket starts at $500. The burial plot can run you as little as $50 or more. Cremation can range from $500 and up.

I guess it all depends which way you go.
