Red Is Dead

Tref · 08-30-2007, 03:28 PM

REDHEADS are becoming rarer and could be extinct in 100 years, according to genetic scientists.

The current National Geographic magazine reports that less than two per cent of the world's population has natural red hair, created by a mutation in northern Europe thousands of years ago.

Global intermingling, which broadens the availability of possible partners, has reduced the chances of redheads meeting and producing little redheads of their own.

It takes only one red-haired parent to produce ginger-headed babies, but two redheads obviously create a much stronger possibility.

Can this planet save the red gene?

There is nothing this man can do to help us and no amount of Happy Meals will change that.

He smiles because he does not yet know!

Will these pants go unworn?

Whilst a stunned Nation collectively averts their eyes, scientists ask, should this man be forced to reproduce?

Lordy! PULL YOUR PANTS UP. If I want to see your carrot, Mr. Top, I'll ask.

No idea where my hair color came from.

In spite of Carrot Top, I'm a big fan of red hair.

"We wants the red head!"

This makes me sad. I've always been a big fan of redheads.

I married a red head and my mother was so hoping for red headed grandchildren. Didn't happen. They've got red headed cousins though.

Ya know - in Europe gingers are really looked down upon.

In past times, they were considered heretics

Red heretics?

Sometimes my hair is red and sometimes it isn't - all without my conscious intervention. I figure it must be the water. When I live down here, it's not so much. When I lived up in Bellingham, I was definitely a redhead.
