    Why would 3,000 redheads gather in one place?

    Just saw this on the beeb news site, and stole the title too.

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/magazine/8245290.stm

    Is it bad that the first thing I thought of was Eric Cartman saying "so we can do what we all know must be done......"

    Seriously imagine been there not knowing what was going on, it would freak me out.

    As it's a recessive gene they will "die out" over time anyway... and it's not just you I thought of Cartman too

    Don't get me wrong I've never had anything against redheads, well apart from the ones I went out with
    If Wisdom is the coordination of "knowledge and experience" and its deliberate use to improve well being then how come "Ignorance is bliss"

    The gene for red hair is actually a mutation - hence, redheads are mutants!!

    And speaking of Cartman:

    Recessive genes seldom die out, as its possible to have carriers for them that do not exhibit the gene, often passing many generations before breeding with another carrier. Dominant genes with negative affects tend to die out fast which is why most genetic diseases are in fact recessive.
