News - Goodbye Redheads




The world may be a lot less fiery as soon as 2060 when ginger people may no longer exist.

Scientists say that less than 2% of the world have naturally red hair; it was caused by a mutation in Northern Europe thousands of years ago. The also say, "global intermingling" has reduced the chances of redheads meeting and making babies with each other.

Here's where our ears perked up: "An estimated 40% of Scots carries the red gene and 13% actually have red hair." So, if you have have the ginger gene, move to Scotland and get busy! We love our Scots!

But seriously, we think redheads are in good hands with geneticists taking an interest. Who better than redhead-obsessed nerd boys to come up with a solution to this world crisis?
