It is no coincidence that Billy the Kid looks like the Wizard of Oz scarecrow.

Well he was a criminal, so straight up, we know he wasn’t real brilliant. But if I could see Kid and Crow side by side, I maybe could compare them. But really who cares? Crow was fictional and Kid was a real person.

^this.

What did the Scarecrow look like? This? This?

Is OP saying that Billy the Kid (Henry McCarty, alias William Bonney) looked like Ray Bolger somehow? Cuz I don’t see the resemblance.

Sorry, OP, your premise fails on its face. No discuss.

So, you see a picture of someone (i.e., Billy the Kid) and can immediately tell that this person was a simpleton of some sort, or intellectually challenged? There’s a word for that, and it begins with “b.”

My wife worked with the mentally challenged in group homes for many years. She would be reaching through the screen for you right now if she could.

Thanks to the OP, we now know who to blame for the current state of education.

Because they don’t want to annoy hum.

How about you post a photo of yourself and we’ll judge you based solely on how “stupid” we perceive you to appear (although we do already have your words which, frankly, aren’t doing you any favors). I doubt you’re going to come off as well as you think you will.

Billy The Kid, died in 1881.
Goofy, created (as an adult) in 1932.
I didn’t check your links, but am assuming the scarecrow in question is from the 1939 movie.

Your “scientists” have unanimous heads up their asses. Their conclusion should have been that Goofy and the WOO scarecrow were the offspring of Billy The Kid. Which would be correct, in my opinion. The resemblance(s) are too striking for mere coincidence.

I think Billy the Kid looks like Owen Wilson.
