    And while, as pointed out earlier, there is no photographic evidence - it seems that over the ages painters have chosen to represent "The man" as long haired, bearded, and wearing unbifurcated garments.

    If I were ever confronted about any of those three conditions - all of which I'm guilty of - I'd just silently point to one of those paintings.
    Well, Ron, Mike_Oettle and I have discussed John the Baptist's clothing being somewhat similar to the belted plaid.
    I'm not a bible scholar, a preacher, or a theologian, though, so I really have no idea.

    I do have long hair. I usually point to the long-haired, American founding fathers, like George Washington, that are depicted on our money and such, when it comes up.

    Ehh, what do I know?

    I tried to ask my inner curmudgeon before posting, but he sprayed me with the garden hose…
    Yes, I have squirrels in my brain…
