Ram sport a beard? And if he did, or didn't, how are we to know? If an overwhelming number of people believe that he was clean-shaven, isn't that enough for us to consider the matter settled then — that the deity-king was as smooth on chin as Lord Salman is on chest? The 'beard' issue has been festering in my head for quite some time now. The heady partnership of mob and media may not have picked up on it yet. But a recent conversation about 'How on Earth did we fix the way our gods look?' — including the remarkable transformation of the West Asian, brown-skinned, dark-haired Jesus into a blond Haight Ashbury hippie dude — made my salt'n'pepper thoughts on the matter bristle again.

North Korea has 191 athletes signed up for the Asian Games starting next week, according to organisers, suggesting the country is poised to end its more than three-year isolation from the global sporting arena. North Koreans are listed on the Games' website for accredited media to compete in the Chinese city of Hangzhou in sports including athletics, gymnastics, basketball, football, boxing and weightlifting. North Koreans were similarly down to compete at a weightlifting tournament in Cuba in June, but they failed to show.
