NATURAL blondes are an endangered species and will be extinct by 2202

I'll never know.

[Robert_Paulson2]

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.

IF their evil schemes come to full fruition...

These guys are pretty clueless

They are projecting the present state of science 200 yrs into the future.

By 2200 nanotech will have long since given people total contol of human genetics.... I predict lots of blonds :-)

[Diddle E. Squat]

Oh no!

[shaggy eel]

,,, quick! Secure UN funding to preserve this recessive gene. I understand the UN is really big on scarcity. I can't live with the thought of blonde jokes being phased out that soon.

[METARZAN]

Let's call Al and Jesse to get them on the scene for the blondes...well, wait a minute...affirmative action for blondes? That means they will be "token" engineers, chemist,upper management, accepted into any college, and the like? On second thought, let's not get them represented. Please forgive me for even considering the thought of it.

No way. Science will provide an answer.

I believe redheads are even rarer than blonds. I wonder what the prognosis for the survival of natural redheads would be?

[DeFault User]

I knew I was becoming a fossil and now your telling me I'll be extinct. Damn!

[Charles Henrickson]

Omigod! Like, fer sher? You're like kidding me, right? This'll be, like, so depressing. . . .

So the average IQ will be going up a lot, eh? (ducking)

[Doctor Stochastic]

I'm assuming that this is a joke (look at the source.) The percentage of blonde (or blond for that matter) genes will tend to stay constant. Recessive genes are neither more nor less likely to die out than dominant genes. It's a Hardy-Weinberg thing.

That seals it -- I am immediately going to appeal to the Civil Right Commission for 'protected status'. This is a genocide on my people. Us blond haired, blue eyed people have made significant contributions to this country, and we deserve protection from genetic extinction, and equal consideration under the laws.

PROTECT THE PEOPLE OF THE DOUBLE-RECESSIVE GENE!!!

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

Some idiot approved and funded this research? Yep, Kofi Annan.

[Bob Quixote]

How can recessive genes die out? They're always there, and ever so often two of them get together in the same person. That's how two brown-eyed parents can have a blue-eyed child, for example. So how can blondes become extinct?

These must be the same scientists who claim that all possible music will have been written by 2007. Then again...have you listened to the radio lately?

I am a natural blonde, my grandmother and greatgrandmother were natural blondes, actually both of my grandmothers were probably blonde. All of my three children were blonde as young kids, though not as blonde as I. It doesn't appear to be dying out with my family.

Is that when the white man will also be gone????

Well, I've read that blondes are naturally more likely to die out just from making poor decisions.

Like the blonde who had always wanted to take horseback riding lessons and showed up for her first session all decked out in her western duds. She timidly climbed onto the horse's back and was horrified when the horse immediately took off at a fast pace. She felt her manicured hands slipping from the reins and grabbed for the horse's mane. Her boots fell from the stirrups and she felt her body shifting to one side with every wild stride of the galloping horse. Terrified, she began to scream, her body slipping every farther from the saddle. She was flung this way and that, her fingers slipping from their death grip on the horse's mane. Just as she was about to be dragged to her death, Bob the Walmart greeter unplugged the ride.

She was one of the lucky ones.
