A few random quandaries

1. How  did oak tag get its name?
2.  Why is it a travesty to chop down a two hundred year old tree, but you can hack down a ten year old tree without batting an eye? Why is an old tree any more precious than a young one?

3. Why is Jesus rarely portrayed as Middle Eastern? At best he appears well-tanned. Like a hippy from Boca Raton.

He was Middle Eastern. Right?
