Question: Question about the pirate Blackbeard!?

I have no idea where to put this!.!.!. but anyway, why is it that even though contemporary descriptions of him always say he was hugely tall and thin, almost every single modern interpretation of him portrays him as short and fat!?!? What's the deal there!?Www@QuestionHome@Com
