from an article in the Times about research to reproduce celebrity facial traits on artificial "actors":

The center has created several projects to help identify those physical traits. In one, researchers use photos to measure the distance between points on a face. By overlaying the distances found on one face onto another, the computer can create a caricature of the second person that incorporates the features of the first. For example, Michael Jackson's face could be overlaid with the essence of the filmmaker Michael Moore's, creating a Mooreish-looking Jackson.

That's just not nice at all.

Answering the age-old question "If someone replaced Susan Dey with an animatronic replica, could you tell?"
