Facebook auto face tagging

I was posting some screenshots from my latest game on Facebook, and found it pretty funny to see this dialog pop up upon saving them, so I thought I'd share cool.png
I thought it was doing a pretty good job, until I saw the "5/7" one from the player editor UI!

Anyone else got examples of automatic facial recognition popping up in funny and unexpected places?

And is anyone else creeped out by the fact that Facebook can automatically find you in photos that you've not been manually tagged in? Not too long ago that could've been a sci-fi X-Files plot, instead of an everyday technology!

I posted some photos from a visit to the zoo where I tried out my new camera and facebook wanted to tag some portraits of some gorillas and orang utans. I myself find technology behind the whole face-recognition quite awesome, but I'm also creeped out from the thought, that I can be identified by a machine.
