The Dirty Dozen

So I'm thinking about taking a look at the 12 guys Jesus spent most of his time on earth with. We call them "the Disciples". So post some comments about what you think about the disciples. What were they like? What did they spend their days doing before they met Jesus? How about after Jesus? Why did Jesus choose them? Why did they stay? What kind of guys do you think they were? How do you picture them- short, fat, tall, bearded, old, young, etc?

Basically tell me what you think. You don't have to answer these questions, just tell me your opinion.
