I pose this question very tongue in cheeky but,I’ve often wondered what Jesus’ voice really sounded like. Can anyone on God’s green Earth imagine J.C.having a voice like Truman Capote for instance? Believe me I’ve thought long and hard on this one. Thanx….just some things Ithink Ithink when I think. I adore your Mental Floss website. Just now found it.

heh… the comedian David Cross does a great bit in one of his standup routines on Jesus talking like an effeminate Southerner. pretty hilarious… might want to look for it on youtube if you’re interested.

Your thought experiment might work better were you to contemplate the matter in consideration of the language he would have most likely been speaking and where.

Is it just me, or does that drawing look like a “South Park” Canadian?

The bible says He was not anything special to look at. What He looks like now though….. Some things cannot be seen with naked eye. The eye must be clothed and in it’s right mind first.
