Interesting that Tar.Aldarion would be my true love based on this system. I look nothing like Avril. But he's a sexy guy so I'm not complaining.

All the posters it spat out for me are men who play poker.

If you could manipulate it so that it spat out members of the opposite sex (or the same depending on what floats your boat!) that would be just super I guess.

Then again, I don't think anyone would actually take this too seriously.

We are working on the gender detection code. It's pretty tricky though, there are a lot of strange edge cases to deal with.

Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

This would actually be a good idea if boards wasn't such a sausage fest.
I definitely want to date someone who uses the word 'roflecopter' as much as I do.
I'd also like the ability to search by people who actually say 'lol'.
