Hmmmm, interesting thing to note on "long, blonde angelic beings..."

what people "commonly" (Christians and non-Christians alike) tend to think of
as "angels" (in appearance) in western culture may not really be accurrate...

One passae in Ezekiel (sorry, forget exact verse--anyone out there that can
help my memory, please? :-) I have heard describes angels as having lots and
lots of eyes, and looking more like oriental dragons (ie: lots of wings and
long and narrow) than like a human....

I'm not saying that the "Scandinavian looking dudes w/ wings sprouting out of
their back" image is wrong, just I've never seen a reference in the Bible for
it...anyone out there know of one?
