I'm [Rosetta] Stoned.

I've been using Rosetta Stone during the past few days to brush up on Spanish. First of all, I can never remember the word for kitchen sink: fregadero. But of greater interest, there is a picture in Level 3, Unit 1, that looks oddly like... me.

For those of you who somehow speak worse Spanish than I do, the sentence roughly translates into: "The man has his hands on his knees." The phrase may as well be "El hombre se parece a Swiss Beats, pero con un BMI normal."

haha at least that version of Rosetta Stone seems to have pictures from the last two decades.
I think I tried a v2 for Mandarin and the pictures were so blurry sometimes that I got some of the genders wrong.
