TRIVIA TODAY - Wednesday, March 23, 2011
Greetings Infomaniacs,
As a redhead myself, I found today's facts on redheads quite
fascinating! People tell me often that they wish they had my
hair color. A couple of my friends have even tried to dye
their hair a similar shade, but there's nothing like the real
thing! It's funny that when I was a little girl, I hated my
red hair, and used to tell people "it's not red, it's auburn,"
but now I definitely love it!
Enjoy!

RANDOM TIDBITS
In 1995, Professor Jonathan Reese discovered that mutations
of the gene MC1R on chromosome 16 were responsible for red
hair (known as the ?ginger gene?). The gene mutation
responsible for red hair in humans probably arose 20,000-
40,000 years ago.
***
Red hair is a recessive trait, which means that a child
must inherit one red hair gene from each parent. Recessive
traits often come in pairs, and redheads are more likely
than other people to be left handed.
***
According to legend, the first redhead was Prince Idon of
Mu who, upon discovering Atlantis, was imprinted with the
island?s stunning red sunset and leaves in the form of red
hair and freckles so future generations would be reminded
of Atlantis? first sunset.

***********************************************************
Red hair doesn?t gray as much as other hair colors. Red
hair initially tends to turn blond and then white. Because
natural red hair holds its pigment more than other colors,
it is harder to dye.
***
Because redheads have thicker hair than people with other
hair colors, they have fewer strands of hair. For example,
while blondes have on average 140,000 hairs, redheads have
approximately 90,000.
***
Some common last names in the British Isles reflect the
frequency of red hair there, including Flanary (?red
eyebrow?), Reid (?red-haired, ruddy complexion?), and Flynn
(?bright red?).
