I guess some people still think Jews have horns. Ever wonder where people got that idea? From Michelangelo's Moses:

"It is in his treatment of the rays which it said Moses' face radiated (Exodus 34:29-30) that Michelangelo displays his greatest sophistication in the interpretation of the biblical text. In the Hebrew bible it says that the skin of the face of Moses radiated (in Hebrew : karan) , yet the depiction of this in sculpture would mean the defacing of Moses' face and depiction of stone rays instead of facial features.

Michelangelo uses the other meaning of the Hebrew word karan - grew horns ('cornuto' in Italian), and placed the rays of light on Moses' head as if they were two small horns. He may have based his action on Jerom's translation that actually used the Latin term 'cornutam' as a translation of the Hebrew word karan"
