Here Are 14 Kinds Of Nose

There are 14 types of Caucasian nose, according to an Israeli scientist, including the celestial (or turned-up), fleshy, Greek, Roman, snub, hawk, bulbous and bumpy. "The experiment even found a nose in Israel it considered extremely unique — and the only one of its type in nearly 1,800 pictures viewed." What kind of nose do you have? Tell us in the comments!

What does it mean if it looks like a park ranger's hat when I sneer?

I'd always thought mine was 'Roman' or 'aquiline' in form, but looking at those pictures, maybe it's Greek.
Re le nez: I remember a woman coming up to me in Cape Town once and asking, right out of the blue and I can only guess because of my nose, and in kind of a stage whisper, 'Are you Jewish?'

My favorite part about that webicle is that there was someone paid to create the linked text for "14 shapes of schnozes". Or maybe it was an intern?

@joshc It was ME, actually. I wish I had an intern. Will you be my intern?

So nice of Israeli scientists to take up the research started by the Germans? nice. And for the record I've got a celestial snub, or as my elderly neighbor called it, an obvious Maya nose (not pictured).

I have a 30-60-90 triangle nose, of which I am disproportionately proud.

Mine is prehensile.

Is that a Pete Postlethwaite bust?
(Also, "extremely unique." UGH.)

Yo tengo un puerco en mi nariz.

Uh, not listed. I know there's plenty of Dutch people with my nose so it's not a racial thing but come on.
