must stop. o_O

short -- no way of telling
chubby -- no way of telling
curly hair -- no way of telling
black haired -- probably
Jewish guy -- no question
big nose -- probably
dark tan -- probably
eyes not blue -- almost certainly

Some have interpreted Isaiah 53:2b to indicate that he was far from "handsome"

"Five foot nine;
Eyes that shine;
changes water into wine--
has anybody seen my Lord ?"

(name that tune)

Five foot two, eyes of blue,
But oh! what those five foot could do,
Has anybody seen my girl?

Give that man a cigar! Or a crucifix. Or something.
