h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

An American couple have created a scented candle based on biblical accounts of what Jesus smells like...when Jesus returns to Earth his robes will perfumed with myrrh, aloe and cassia.

Well, he got gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh when he was born, but it doesn't say how much he got. He might have run out of it by the time he was 34.

He wore sandals, and I reckon they tend to kick up a bit when worn often so I would suggest he had a vaguely baked flip flop aroma.

Alfster,

Wouldn't Jesus smell of freshly baked bread and a nice light Pinot Noir?

Awful.

(Have I posted this in the wrong thread?.....as in "my Jesus has no nose. How does he smell?"

Mr Pink-Paisley,

>Awful.

Yes - but don't tell me you weren't thinking of it too

Like the dust bag in your vacuum cleaner

The Romans were big into washing themselves, but I don't think the locals would have done. It is easy to think that since Jesus was the Son of God, he would have been perfect, and that this would include keeping himself clean to a 20th century level of hygiene, but who are we to impose our standards on the Son of God? His dad made the dirt and the smells, so they would not have been repugnant to the son.

So Jesus would probably have smelt much the same as all the rest of the people, heavy perfume masking a powerful body odour.

I think Jesus smelt by using the olfactory system located in his nose...

He managed a few difficult things like bringing Lazarus back from the dead and turning water into wine, so you'd think he'd manage something simple like managing to get rid of off putting body smelliness.

Why would he want to?

See 2 Corinthians 2 verse 15 in the new testament bit of the bible.

The "aroma of Christ" is mentioned. Still doesn't say what it smells like though.

Actually 'Jesus' would be a good name for a new Lynx Deodarant. Africa, Pulse, Phoenix, Voodoo, Dimension, Atlantis and Jesus. A different smell for the discerning young male for each day of the week. Of course, Jesus would have to be the one that you sprayed on a Sunday.

'Africa, Pulse, Phoenix, Voodoo, Dimension, Atlantis and Jesus' Personally I like their latest addition to the range, 'Satan, nighthoover, Buddha, and Pingu .

"Christ" was not Jesus's surname. It was his title. It means "the anointed one". So it really depends what he was anointed with.

<<'Satan, nighthoover, Buddha, and Pingu'>>

@ the leggy one.

I'm sitting here chucking at the mental image of a Lynx 'Pingu' spray.

I reckon it would be compulsory to go 'Maw Maw' each time you lfted your arm to spray.

The teevee advert would be a doozy. Loads of scantily clad women all irresistably attracted to a small and lumpy plasticine penguin.

Ah, dearie me!

I want that one!

Divine, surely?


(dahling)

If everyone around him had the same body odor,being clean would definitely be notable!

I've often wondered if Jesus was a time traveller, going back to try to fix a basic flaw in human character which will lead to some disaster in the future...

GOT to get more sleep...
