Somehow I don't think Jesus had reddish-blondish hair and pale skin.

Stupid, drunken Brits.... While we don’t have a clue what Jesus actually looked like in the First Century, He most assuredly looked nothing like that man...
But that doesn’t matter - Stupid drunken Brits will be stupid drunken Brits...

He grew that in 4 months? The guy's a hair machine!
Punchline to one of my favorite old jokes: "No, he KNOWS that he's Jesus. But he THINKS he's Jack Nicklaus."

Good thing he didn’t look like Mohammed. With all the Moose-limbs in Britain, they’d have beheaded him for blasphemy.

I think it’s great that fans shouted “Stand up if you love Jesus.” Maybe that’s the reason this guy was removed. Can’t have sponstaneous mass expression of the Christian faith in a public place, now can we?

This sounds odd for a country in which the churches on Sunday morning are largely empty.

Phil Taylor is a real class act.
And from the look of him, a truly impressive physical specimen - an athlete's athlete.

Australians being oversensitive to a bit of joshing by Brits? Since when?
To: TheBattman
He most assuredly looked nothing like that manWell, according to the Bible, Abraham was an Aramaean nomad - and the Aramaeans' descendants are ethnic Syrians.
Riad Ismat, the former Syrian minister of culture, is considered to be a classic example of an ethnic Syrian (as opposed to an ethnic Arab).
Ismat has reddish-brown hair, a fair complexion and hazel eyes.

Nathan, who emigrated from his native Australia to Oxford six years ago, said: "I didn't go to the darts dressed as Jesus I went as me. "It was all very weird and distressing. I didn't break down crying but I did get emotionally distraught. They were bullying me and picking on me, saying that I was someone else. That's another way that we know he's not Jesus.
Jesus wept :)

I used to date a very cute Jewish girl who had bright red hair.
Also, the prophet Samuel described David as ruddy (i.e. some Jews are fair-skinned.)

"The fact they can buy four-pint pitchers certainly helps."
How many cups with that pitcher?
Cups? No cups.

Can someone point me to the scripture where Jesus’ appearance is described? As far as I know we do not know what Jesus looked like.
