»In which I was separated at birth

Salim Virji and Brian Aldiss: separated at birth?

I was busting a move on the myheritage.com online facial-recgonition software (scary stuff! use bugmenot, perhaps!) only to discover that the "celebrity" I most closely resemble is Brian Aldiss, the octogenarian British science-fiction writer. I have read a few of his works, including the title story from the anthology "Who can replace a man?".
Apparently computers are not yet up to the task: he and I are markedly different in facial colouring, age, and other physical characteristics represented in the photo -- does he have a moustache?!
