09/29 Couple weeks ago, I told you blondes were genetically inferior.
They are dye-ing out: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/2284783.stm
\_ what a waste of 60 seconds of my life.
\_ We need more misleading descriptions of URLs on the motd. This
article says nothing about genetic inferiority. It has quotes that
say blonde hair is not a genetic inferiority. Please read your
own articles before posting. Thanks.
\_ They are losingout to fake blondes, does this mean fake blondes
also age faster?
\_ sure, whatever you want to believe |
| news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/2284783.stm A study by experts in Germany suggests people with blonde hair are an endangered species and will become extinct by 2202. Researchers predict the last truly natural blonde will be born in Finland - the country with the highest proportion of blondes. The frequency of blondes may drop but they won't disappear Prof Jonathan Rees, University of Edinburgh But they say too few people now carry the gene for blondes to last beyond the next two centuries. The problem is that blonde hair is caused by a recessive gene. In order for a child to have blonde hair, it must have the gene on both sides of the family in the grandparents' generation. Dyed rivals The researchers also believe that so-called bottle blondes may be to blame for the demise of their natural rivals. They suggest that dyed-blondes are more attractive to men who choose them as partners over true blondes. Tory MP Ann Widdecombe Bottle-blondes like Ann Widdecombe may be to blame But Jonathan Rees, professor of dermatology at the University of Edinburgh said it was unlikely blondes would die out completely. |
