I knew I should've married Richie Cunningham
No way!
According to the Oxford Hair Foundation, redheads will be extinct by 2100. Apparently we are so special and rare that there's a bounty on our tresses: some crazy foreign bazillionaire is so obsessed with red hair that he wants to collect every shade and variation for a traveling P.T. Barnum-esque exhibit. He's paying upwards of $80,000 per scalp. You can read all about it here.

No way! I know plenty of red heads. One of my red headed buddies went on vacation to South America and was treated like a king. Not sure why it's a big thing down there. The women love the red headed men.
Isn't Ritchie bald now?
Not that there is anything wrong with that.
Mine's fading. Maybe I'd better sell now, before it loses all of its coppery glow.
By the way, where IS this wealthy man and how much of our hair would he really need?
If that gene's so recessive, how come 4 out of my red-haired mother's 5 kids were born with red hair? Actually, the 5th kid had "strawberry blonde" hair, so I guess she had the gene, too. Interesting, huh?
I've always been proud of my hair color but I must admit I've envied you your color of red. It's much prettier than mine.
I wonder if anyone's studied why redheads turn more white than gray when they age. My grandfather had red hair in his youth (I'm told) and he had a beautiful shock of snow-white hair in his old age.
I was just being dorky about the rich guy. I figured it was a more interesting lead than just "Read this!" I think I figured wrong.
