In honor of the approximately 35 redheads running around here, and because I got bored the other day, I present these fun facts:

Did you know that.....?

-Scarlet tresses were long considered the mark of the devil: because the color was associated with menstruation, red-haired women were seen as unclean and taboo

- Believed to be lethal, fat taken from a redheaded man was used in concocting poisons during the seventeenth century

- Both Emily Dickenson and Edna St. Vincent were redheads.

- Redheads require 20 percent more anesthesia to put them under than brunettes or blondes.

- Less than 4 percent of the world's population has red hair (and about 3 percent of them live here)

- Also, in Africa, non-Caucasian albino redheads who live in countries like Cameroon, are subject to ill treatment by superstitious neighbors

Is this one of those things where it's all guys on principle, or just the ones who actually said something hammerworthy? I'm just trying to figure out if I should hide. :)

Hmm.

I'll be nice tonight and say just the ones that have said/done something hammerworthy.

Just tonight, mind you. ;)

You're my favorite redheaded world-famous geneticist with a newborn daughter. :)

-laugh- Only at Xavier's would it be necessary to qualify that statement so thouroughly.

Remember, Jamie, one of us is a telepath. We can punish the hammerworthy thoughts as well.

Then it's probably a good thing I have a brain like one of those Magic Eye things, huh? :)

Hey, I've been getting up to mischief for nearly eighteen years now (or "over" eighteen years, depending on if you believe my mom's pregnancy stories.) I like to keep my bets hedged. :)

Good call.
