    Default Historical Figure you most resemble

    Physically, that is. Partially inspired by "Meet the Empire-builders" I'd like to hear about the physical resemblance between famous historical figures and members here at TWC. Do you look like Napoleon? Does you bear an uncanny resemblance to Caesar? Could you pass off as Alexander's brother in ancient Greece? Would Renaissance Germans mistake you for Martin Luther?

    Who do I resemble? Oddly enough, I look a lot like Sir Isaac Brock, one of my personal heroes. Everyone I know who is historically-minded has told me that with a haircut and a redcoat, I could pass as this fellow:

    My facial hair isn't as prominent but pretty much everything else is aside from the blue eyes. At least that's what some people say when I wake up in the morning without my pony-tail.

    Don't know if you can count that as historical but couldn't find anyone else I know that would looked like me in the historical sense. Probably a Viking due to my long hair.

    Just to let you know, Jesus probably didn't look like what your picture there is suggesting. But anyway, to be honest, I don't know of a historical figure I resemble, maybe someone though. I just don't know yet, I've never been told I look like anyone, although as a child, someone told me I looked a little like what Bill Clinton (former United States President) might have looked like as a child. Back at that age, my hair was blond, now the color is a sort of light brown or dark blond. My facial hair is a mix of dark brown/black and blond though.

    PS: I do look a bit like a much younger version of my avatar, only without the grey/white hair.

    You mean Peter Hitchens his brother. Who I in some ways more agree with.
    Christopher Histchens is a antithieist neo con, and like quite a number of Neo cons a former Totskyist. He hates religion enough to attack Ghandi for at one time wrting something tha on could contend was racist and to attack Mother Theresa.

    Christoher Hitchens also supported the Soviet Union, and ironicly enough was against the Gulf War, where we actually had a leg to satnd on.

    I look like Thanatos' saintly avatar. Just not as chiseled.
    The trouble with fighting for human freedom is that one spends most of one's time defending scoundrels. For it is against scoundrels that oppressive laws are first aimed, and oppression must be stopped at the beginning if it is to be stopped at all.

    And here I thought the chiseled pun would give it away...

    Chiseled.

    BWAHAHAHA

    I have no idea, so I take a wild shot:

    Harald Fairhair



    The guy with the crown.
    Wearing tights is not my wont, though.

    Oh, let him have his fun.
    If I can be Harald Fairhair, Surely he can be Solid Snake.

    By the way, my voice resembles that of Garret the Thief.
