Do you know this man?

I hope not. This is the face of someone who never existed. I generated this picture at Morphases, a site that offers "revolutionary" software for facial image manipulation. The process is fun, but a bit frustrating: the controls and user interface are awkward, and the source material seems to consist entirely of geeky young males. There's no way, as yet, to generate an old woman or even a 30-something man. You can make lots of monsters, though, just by changing the size and position of the head and facial features.

I tried to make this character look as much as possible like me in my salad days, though I didn't have a scruffy beard or brown eyes.
