		sandspar 8 months ago \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: A Guide Dog for the Face-Blind I scored 40/40 on the celebrities test. It was very easy for me and I never had a doubt. My wife scored much lower. Also, I have met and noticed many celebrities (including Tony Hawk, who is famously hard to differentiate.) Whereas my wife has met very few. It's surely related - she may have walked past just as many famous people as I have, but she wasn't aware of it.

Holy crap! I'd say that there is probably a job for you in policing or intelligence, but it will probably be replaced by AI.

BTW, last night I watched the 1953 film "From Here to Eternity", and had no idea it was starring Burt Lancaster.
