MakeMeBabies.com, or why I will never sleep with Antonio Banderas

by Kristin Shoemaker Jun 26th 2008

I remember being a little girl, and watching my friends fuss about what their babies would like if they married George Michael, or Michael Jackson (so I am not only carbon-dating myself, but I'm also showing how naive my friends and I were). Oh, c'mon, I never fussed about these things. I was too busy playing with the Commodore PET.

The Commodore PET could only dream of doing the things modern computers (or little girls) do. Today, its dreams have come true with the introduction of (cough) MakeMeBabies.com. Okay, this site is for entertainment purposes only. The resulting child of any of these unions, holy, unholy, or otherwise, may not be true to life. Yet all of us here at Download Squad are wasting way too much time spreading our genes throughout Hollywood.

They'll thank us later, for sure.

The results of our fooling around (hate the game, not the playaz, guys) produced some interesting (if extremely disturbing) results. My (real life) husband and I had a blonde child that was much too good looking to have come from either of us. Never mind that neither of us are blonde. Antonio Banderas and I produced a child that had some serious facial issues. Interestingly enough, fellow Download Squad lady bloggers (why aren't the guy Squadders doing this too?) seemed to have children with similar facial issues. Actually, we all seemed to have the same child with Brad Pitt, Orlando Bloom, and Antonio Banderas.

So what do you all think? One trick algorithm putting similar features on generic children's heads? Or is it a deeper conspiracy? Do all the guys in Hollywood have the same genetic structure? Are they all inbred? Or maybe... Maybe it's all of us here at Download Squad. We'll never tell.

Didn't Lindsay and Tobias create this website in Arrested Development? Or was you mention of "George Michael" a sly reference to that?

Ah, Jonathan, wish I could say it were... It'd make me sound a lot smarter and culturally literate than I really am. (No cable in my town until I was 17, and we only got one OTA station with horrendous reception. Really nice view and lots of wildlife, though.)

But alas, George Michael was the only musician besides Michael Jackson that I could remember my classmates getting all excited over back in the day (and, yes, this was when he was with Wham!) I mean, I didn't *forget* Phil Collins, of course... But no one seemed to think he was marriage material.

The babies get the same face regardless of sex. Also, while it is a toy, a test run of my and my gf's pic didn't produce anything remotely like our kids. And even with different pics (lighting/cropping/etc) the face stays the same.

Me think that this site is a joke

Okay, I'm going home and trying this right away. My wife and I were at one of those photo booths that do the same thing the other day, but it wasn't working! Since we have a young kid, it would be funny to see just how close to the real thing the site would get.

I think this website is bogus too. I uploaded a picture of me and my husband, we are both Black and got two White babies! I call shenanigans.

Civiballs is a beautiful, soothing physics puzzle Time Waster

I have an absolute weakness for physics games, and while Civiballs isn't the strongest physics-based game, what it lacks in the physics department it makes up for a few times over in style and fun.

In Civiballs, you are presented with a few colored balls, and your goal is to get those balls into the same-colored urn on the level. The "civi" part of Civiballs is that there are 3 sets of levels to play, each representing a different civilization. While the civilization doesn't affect gameplay, the artwork for each level is beautifully themed to it's appropriate era.

To play the game, you are given only one tool - a sword with which to cut the chains that are holding the balls. The puzzle part of the game is in figuring out what order, and with what timing to cut each chain. Do it right, and all the right balls end up in the right urns, with no stray balls entering an urn (a no-no). Do it wrong, and you get to start over again.

Civiballs is not terribly deep on gameplay; the entire game can be completed in about 15 minutes. But if you enjoy this type of game, it will be a very enjoyable 15 minutes.
