Never seen my better half eh? Suffice it to say, there is no resemblance between the Wifey and the mother-in-law and I am so freaking grateful for that (so is the Wifey).

There has been a lot of migration in the last 2000 years. 2000 years ago the Bulgarians actually lived in Great Bulgar, the Irish lived in Austria, no honkeys lived in Australia, etc.
So how do we know Mary wasn't a totally hot blond with a big rack & a small nose?
Just because the people who live in Israel now are ugly is fairly meaningless.
Plus the lady in the 1st photo is probably about 50 (& yet i still wonder if she shaves 'down there')

thank you for bringing up "down there" and "shaving" in reference to that woman. I think I am going to wash my eyes out with bleach to rid myself of that mental image.

If that's what Mary looked like, no wonder she was a virgin:eek:

I am with Seagoon in this one. Why even worry about what Jesus looked like. To me it doesn't matter. If the men who were with them walked into a church these days they would find it to be appalling.

reminds me of a joke:

Mary Clancy goes up to Father O'Grady after his Sunday morning service, and she's in tears. "So what's bothering you, Mary my child?"

"Oh, Father, I've terrible news. My husband passed away last night."

The priest says, "Oh my, Mary, that is terrible news. Tell me, did he have any last requests?"

She says, "That he did, Father..."

"Pray tell, what did he ask, Mary?"

"He said, 'Please Mary, put down the gun!'

Anyone know when the first (oldest) pictures/paintings/sculptings
of Jesus were? I don't know, just asking whats the oldest representation there is of him.

The Mandylion image of Christ on linen is referred to by many ancient writers, such as Eusebius of Caesarea (325 AD), and Evagrius (590 AD). It is considered the oldest image of Christ.

That's what my Google search turned up anyway.

Then why did you marry your wife? You do know she is going to look like your mother in law in 20 years dont you? Hell she will even act like her. Sorry bud your screwed.
