Random thought about Sam Harris's face.
April 12, 2015 at 12:04 am
Sam Harris says some stuff that religious people don't like and he's famous, the result being that he gets death threats.
I was thinking, one thing he has on his side to help him avoid confrontations with assasins is that he looks SO dam generic looking.
I personally think he looks slightly like Adam Sandler, possibly a bit like Raymond from everybody loves raymond. He's got one of those faces where I just think I've seen somewhere before but then maybe I haven't because his face just looks so non distinctive. That is exacly what I thought when I did first see him, that he was from something else like a sit com or movie.
It's like if you could make a characters face on the sims and you set the characters lips, eyebrows, eyes, chin, hair, ears, stubble length, teeth and everthing else to standard or normal or average you would come up with Sam Harrises face.

It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.

He looks like he could be related to the Survivor host. Ahh, yes, Jeff Probst.

I immediately thought of this old thread (probably cuz I started it
)
http://atheistforums.org/thread-30244-page-2.html
I can't remember where this verse is from, I think it got removed from canon:
"I don't hang around with mostly men because I'm gay. It's because men are better than women. Better trained, better equipped...better. Just better! I'm not gay."
For context, this is the previous verse:
"Hi Jesus" -robvalue

He does have kind of a generic every-man face.

I think that's actually the guy I was thinking of instead of adam sandler but this is exactly what I mean, there's probably loads of people who I could have said he looks like.

He should take up a job with the secret service. It would be hard to identify him.
Evil foreign leader: "Someone just stole the plans."
Guard: "What does he look like?"
Evil foreign leader: " It was a white dude that looked like a lot of other white dudes."
Sam Harris could be the most successful spy in history
