can someone explain to me why some ppl think Jews have horns and a tail or was it gills? whatever. By the way im Jewish and I have no horns, tails, or gills.

Is this meant to be a joke?

i don't understand, did you get this off of tv or something? cozz i ain't never heard those things before.

I knew this kid once, was on the JV soccer team. he went to a game once, at another school. this kid from the other school and the kid from my school talked for a while. when the kid from my school told him that he was jewish, the kid from the other school asked: "you're jewish?! aren't you supposed to have horns?"
thats an example of it. i don't know the reason why, can't help ya with dat.

If jews had horns and tails, everyone would like them more.

Haven't you ever seen the statue by michalangelo? It shows moses with horns because when the italians translated the bible, they misspelled light and that misspelling means horn.
so moses was sculpted with horns coming out of his head instead of light.

I think it's obvious that Michelangelo (or the pope that commissioned it) intended the horns to be a representation of evil. Moses is seated at the center of the bottom level - representing the underworld, while the pope is seated at the center of the top.

aaahh now I get it

Ive never met a guy who fell for what Renaisance Europeans did...It has been 500 years ya know?

I think I heard that someplace.Wasn't it that they traslated it wrong? Somehow the traslation was horns instead of light. not misspelled it.

Yeah, I heard it was a mistranslation thing as well.

Horns instead of rays of light coming from his head.

ive never met one

So, if a Jew says, "I'm horny", is that a lie?

Nox

Would a Jew, when sexually aroused, have rays of light coming from his/her head?

After Moses came down from hearing the Tora for 40 days and 40 nights he was so holy (or somethin like that) that rays of light was shown on his head.

I have a miniature of that Moses statue.

I always wanted to have a copy of the Jesus chorus line statue from A Clockwork Orange. I would be interested in hearing about where to get one ...or better yet, just send me one for Christmas. What better gift could a person give, than a miniature statue of the dancing birthday-boy himself?
