Whether He gives any woodworking tips, I have no idea.

Entirely appropriate, considering how many times his name has been uttered by people attempting to complete the projects published in this magazine.

No doubt this will be about as convincing as the last forensic anthropologic depiction of Jesus as being Crow-Magnon man. Perhaps these guys will soon reveal their latest scientific finding proving Jesus sported a bad case of exema, halitosis, seborrhia, and psoriasis.

All they had to do was to post the image from the Shroud of Turin. There have been numerous threads on the topic here on FR over the last few years (including a couple of my own), and I'm convinced that the image on the Shroud is the image of Jesus the Lord.

BTW, he was no 5' 1", 110 pound weakling, either. :) Far from it.

Different Face for Cover of Popular Mechanics

Why not? He's the most popular mechanic (and carpenter) I know...

Aren't we only supposed to do links to the Times? Or am I having a spell? ; * )

As Luke 2:40 puts it: And the child grew and became strong; he was filled with wisdom, and the grace of God was upon him.

I've always figured that the sallow, effeminate depictions of Jesus weren't right. After all, the guy was a carpenter in a time when everything was done by hand.

He'd have had big, strong, workman's hands and arms. He'd have had a face that was sharp-featured like the image on the Shroud of Turin -- something to set him apart.

He apparently met the expectations of those who though of the Messiah as a military conqueror -- meaning he was probably not smaller than average, possibly larger -- he certainly had whatever it is about natural leaders that fairly shouts, "follow me."

Jesus is what I feel in my heart no what I see with my eyes.

Using the tools of forensic anthropology, scientists in the accompanying article concluded that the historical depiction of Jesus as a white man with flowing locks was inaccurate.

For this you need forensic anthropology, whatever that is?

The Jesus, Mary, etc look Italian in paintings by Da Vinci, but German in paintings by Friedrich. Something about painting from posed living models, maybe?
