Redhead Day

I happened to see an article today on the BBC about Redhead Day, a holiday that apparently celebrates all things redhead. I think that sounds like a cool. I myself am a huge red-head fan. It got me thinking about red hair, and how it's a recessive gene. Supposedly it will die out eventually, unless people with red hair are somehow attracted to each other or have so many children compared to the rest of the population. I suppose that the latter option could be possible—many people find red hair attractive, especially red-haired women. But the red-head breeding project would seem to be a surer bet to maintain red hair for generations to come. (Biologists, correct me if I'm wrong.)

However, I rarely see people with red hair date or marry each other. In fact, my red-haired friend maintained what he called, "The Red Head Exclusionary Principle," in which no red-haired person could date another red head. Little did he know that he was dooming his own kind! Fortunately, the Red Head Exclusionary Principle hasn't killed them all off yet, or else I wouldn't get to be married to a smokin' hot redhead. Here's hoping our girls end up with some red, instead of my ugly old mousy brown hair.
