Blondes to Go Extinct

[Yoda]

From BBC News (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/2284783.stm):

The last natural blondes will die out within 200 years, scientists believe.
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.

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.

Kind of like hemophilia... except, y'know, debilitating.












Actually, hemophilia isn't recessive...tut. But the joke stands.

NOOOOOO!!!! Why God, WHYYYYYY?!?! I like blondes, and find them to be not as dumb as people would have you believe. (Given a choice, I greatly prefer red-heads, but still....)

I showed this to my sister (who is a natural blonde and a beautician) and she said "blondes" will never be extinct as long as they make hair coloring … ;)

Didn't you guys hear that this story was a complete hoax picked up by the A.P.? It was announced a week or so after the story hit.
