Why does George Washington look more like Jeff Goldblum?

Those deserve their own individual threads IMHO.

The guys in the first two images look the same, yet in one file name it's George Washington, in the other Thomas Jefferson. Was one a clone of the other?
I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

I wanna know why George Washington has a wig with sideburns.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

You know, Tim's goofy art reminds me of two Russian artists who did some strange painting back in the 1990's.  For instance they painting American subjects in Soviet style.  They also did some surveys to find how artistic taste differed in different countries and tried to paint the most and least wanted paintings for those countries.

So every country's "most wanted" painting is a landscape and their "least wanted" is some abstract form. Shocking.

Except for Holland.  EDIT:  I actually liked Italy's least wanted.  It reminds me of 1950's and '60's popart.

And Tim is trying to tell me that Galactus looks stupid?

They don't look the same to me. Though I will say that the Jefferson painting looks more like Jefferson than the Washington painting looks like Washington.
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Do you agree that they look stupid?
