how good do you know famous people?
how good do you know them when they’re reduced to some pixels?
download this excel-file (256kb) and see for yourself!
(open the file, then insert the names. watch for the the’s, e.g. “a-team” is wrong while “the a-team” is correct.
yes, they’re really there)

i managed to recognise 19, but with sigi’s suggestions we managed to get 27 of 95 right. (i’d never ever recognized the corrs and simon & garfunkel).
how much do you get right? leave a comment!
btw: perhaps you wonder how i got that file?
no, not from flipflopflyin, where all the minipops come from (and david with one long arm, too) but through pure coincidence!
yesterday evening i was trying out some tiny urls:
– my tiny url leads to a 404-page
– my sisters tiny url leads to a .dmg of some program to vectorize images.
– my girl’s tiny url leads to the times online.
– and sigi’s tiny url leads to the aforementioned file.
see? pure coincidence!

hey it was cool and all but it got really boring coming to the end. and most of the people i hardly knew or couldn’t spell the name properly cuz you had to spell the name right or it would say wrong. hey you have to write it like “edward scissorhands” and not leave a gap i think i got either 30 something or 40 something.

# ellie on November 14th, 2008
the reason it says they are passworded and encrypted is because you are probably on windows vista, thats what it said about mine
