Blondes die out by 2202

NATURAL blondes are an endangered species and will be extinct by 2202, say scientists.

There are too few people carrying the blonde gene for the hair colour to continue down the generations.

So women and men with blonde hair, blonde eyebrows and blue eyes will vanish from the face of the earth within 200 years, says the World Health Organisation.

Researchers predict the last blonde will live in FINLAND which has the highest number of true blondes in the world.

The problem is that blonde hair is caused by a recessive gene.

A child has to have the gene on both sides of the family in the grandparents’ generation to get blonde hair.

But blonde genes are rapidly becoming watered down.

A spokesman for the WHO research team said: “It looks like their days are numbered.”

And bottle blondes like singer Kylie Minogue and surgically- enhanced model Jordan may even be responsible for the demise of their natural rivals.

The WHO spokesman added: “Artificial blondes tend to be blonder and possibly more attractive to men.

“This could mean more and more men are selecting them as partners over their naturally blonde peers.”

The number of bottle blondes is likely to soar.

A German study has found fair-haired waitresses or barmaids earn 20 per cent more in tips than others.

Come on now. Not all blondes are dum.

Then how can you stand to be "reporting from the San Fransico Bay"

or should I say the Peoples Republic of San Fransisco

just joking

[Ford Fairlane]

thats not a natural blonde

[Ford Fairlane]

The prostitutes in the roman world also used to wear signs on their foreheads saying what they did and for how much

Heh. <|:)~

I'm not sure if she is a natural blonde or not, but she is conservative (she called Sean Hannity the other day):

[vikingchick]

I read somewhere that in Ancient Rome, at first, the only blondes were prostitute slaves that were brought down from Northern Europe.

Either you're a slave, or you're a prostitute. :)

Bet I'm going to regret continuing this line of conversation......

[vikingchick]

You've got a very good point.....I have no answer except that I must be here to witness firsthand the demise of all that is civilized.

[weikel]

Yeah but by then we won't need them. Pleasure droids you know(cooks cleans f**** always happy to do it always in a good mood).

[weikel]

Thats wrong the original Romans were a Germanic tribe themselves which of course had many blondes. Lotsa Northern Italians are blonde haired blue eyed.

[weikel]

Julius Caesar from Rome's most aristocratic and therefore one of the most inbred Roman families was Blonde haired and blue eyed.

[rmlew]

Sort of. The UN cna't be concerned with that.

[rmlew]

All blood has drained from head. What's her name?

[rmlew]

Nope. the Germans started settling Northern Italy in the 4th century. The Gothic, Lombard, and Norman occupations saw to the gene pool.

[weikel]

If the Romans weren't Germanic where did they come from??? Them being an earlier Germanic tribe who moved South to a warmer climate seems to me the most likely explanation. Its unlikely they were Celtic since the Celts in Gaul harassed them until Julius Caesar finally ended that once and for all.

My father's family is Finlander and my mother's family is Alsatian. I am Blonde.

"NATURAL blondes are an endangered species and will be extinct by 2202, say scientists."

How much will IQ increase once they are gone? :-)

Ah, anyone who tries to take you out of the gene pool, mo mhúirnín bán, is going to face ferocious resistance from me. ;)

Who would have thought that peroxide would become extinct? ;-)
