Sooner or later, you're gonna want it. And the second — the second — that happens, you know I'll be there. I'll slip in, have myself a real good day.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

What's Jesusy about it? It's just a male face?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Dunno, but any time people see a bearded face in some image they tend to claim it's Jesus.

What is even happening?

Yes, and they claim a female face is Mary.

Isn't "male face" about all we know about how Jesus actually looked? I suppose there are some cultural cues that can be assumed, but it's not like anyone really knows.

There was an image construction thing on Netscape a year or two ago, that gave him features that were much less Euro. Lemme see if I can find it.

Yeah, that looks nothing at all like how Jesus is portrayed in American media.

Compassionately intolerant

I've always wondered...what's the diff what a prophet/messiah/leader looks like?

Okay, so it's been said that Confuscious was a nerdy guy that nobody liked when he was alive. Still? A 3rd of the world's religions based on stuff he is supposed to have said.

In Blink, Malcolm Gladwell talks about CEOs being tall.

So what?

Did Gandhi get taken less seriously because he was short?

I don't get it.
