Whole new world, living on my own, and so on. Well, in this whole new world comes whole new people. Except that those people look an awful lot like people that I already know… of.

I have no pictures, because going around campus taking pictures of random people would make me look crazy, so allow me to use half-assed photoshops to make my point.

The first look-alike I came across was a dead ringer for Giants pitcher Matt Cain, only shorter, thinner, and more flamboyant.

Second is this guy I saw walking around campus once at night. Looked exactly like Patrick Marleau, only with lots of beer. Well, it’s mainly the monster eyebrows that make him look like Marleau, but still.

The last one I saw isn’t exactly a doppelganger, it’s more of an unholy union. You know Conan’s whole “If they had kids” segment? Yeah, it’s like that.

There is a man out there that looks like this. Be afraid. Be very afraid.*

*Note: Okay, so that’s not exactly what the guy looks like, but it is an uncanny resemblance. A bit of Matt Barkley in there as well.

You know, the one where all the kids are at the DMV getting their permits and pictures taken? Where that annoyingly stuck-in-your-head-able song “You are sixteen going on seventeen, blah blah blah…”?

Yeah. That one. Anyways, I was watching it, and when it got to one of the kids lining up for their permit/license photo, I seriously thought I knew him from somewhere. He looked so familiar! So it was bothering me until an hour ago when I finally realized who he looked like.

State farm dude on the left, Kaner on the right. Crazy, right?

This picture brought to you in part by Paint Shop Pro 7 and MS Paint. Man, I miss using Photoshop.

So its not perfect – the State Farm dude is like a younger version of Kane, but still. The similarity amazes me.

And that’s what I do when I have free time.
