It must be true
This is going to make some of you (read: mike) really happy.
I heard some alarming news this week. And I heard it twice, which has to mean something, right? and both people cited a newspaper article. With statistics. which i don't know off the top of my head.
Gingers are an endangered species.
We account for less than 2%of the world's population; most of those remaining are in Ireland and Scotland.
And unless we begin "breeding", we are likely to become extinct in a number of years that has been quoted to me as between 10 and 20 or somewhat longer.
I feel like a tiger or something.
That seems a little extreme to me; i know a lot of redheads, and we're not all going to be dead in two decades.
Personally, I think that even if we were genetically and scientifically extinct, gingers would still keep turning up, like lucky (?) pennies.
However, let's imagine what possible consequences this dire pronouncement could have:
> Attempted breeding in captivity
> "Save the Gingers" fundraisers
> Top Dollar for red hair to be made into wigs (my boss mentioned this one on the advice that i should try and cash in.)
> Poaching
