kk heres some to get us started:

Blondes are hot, brunettes are hotter but redheads are hottest. Ashley cole

In france being a redhead is a fate so desired that a 'proud to be red associaltion' has been set up.

Famous redheads include: Nicole Kidmann and Eminem!!

It is thought that 'ginger' taunts could be the next big form of discrimination!

I've got another 1!

Did you know that somewhere in Asia, if you see three gingers in a row you are 2going o win the lottery"? see, we're not that bad to have around the place.

A bad thing is though, that when on holiday, Naomi tou'll know what i'm talking about (ahem, Canada!!!) you get asked the stupidest questions! Here's one we thought was hilarious.

We were in a shop, my mum is blonde and my dad has brown hair btw. We walked up to the counter and the women looks at us and says, 'Where are you guys from?'

So we answer, Northern Ireland (o yeah!). Then shop lady proves to us many North Americans are stupid by coming out with...

'IS EVERYBODY IN IRELAND GINGER?'

Duh! How stupid can you get? It was sooooo funny though! :lol:

Well its not always that handy to have gingers around because in ancient egypt they were often sacrificed to the gods so i dont think I would like to be in that position!!

True true! But we don't live there so we have nothing to worry about. Right? *looks around terrified* :unsure:

Lol! Aw well, would you worry!

Being ginger is cool, a blessing not a curse, or it should be!!!

Aw, come on we so aren't that bad, although we were asked in Canada if the IRA let u out of the country, and were shocked to find out that the IRS didn't actually control the airport!!!

About the descendant from Viking thing, i fit both those descriptions, and also my granny's maiden name was Harrison, (son of Harris), which is an old Nordic name, along with most other ......sons!

It's cool to think that your ancestors could have been important leaders or warriors, sometimes i wish i could go back in time and see them and what they did, but then if they were big, mean plunderers or scalliwags not sure i would like to run into them!!!

yea, geneology is amazin actaully. that probably explains y gingers r always so angry. :) in ireland, it is really hard 2 find a dominant gene - we r a real hotch potch made up of foreigners like vikings, celts, angles, and even a big percentage of basque genes (from ancient n. Spain!) etc. i cud go in2 more detail but that would bore the life out of a lot of pple. :rolleyes:

plus you always have the problem of tracing if your family was round about dublin and such coz of the easter rising and documents being destroyed! if anyone is ever bored.. and i mean really bored you should go to PRONI and have a gander! such a scary place but the info you can find out is quite interesting, plus its fun to be a detective for a while! :)

Hey hey Im not that cross am I????

Anyway there is evidence to suggest that the ginger hair colour actually came from the holy lands, Israel, palestine etc. King David was a ginge so I wonder if I could trace the family line back too him?? Would be quite fun me thinks!!

Hey cool, i had forgotten that King David was a ginge! Duh, how could i do that? I would love to know more about my family tree, i know back a few generations, but it doesn't go a lot further back than the 19th Century.

Hey alibi, what does PRONI stand for?

Grrrr about the angry thing, i'm so cross!!! lol :P
