Did you hear about the blonde who was so stupid, she went extinct?
Well, sorta. Some scientists are claiming that the recessive gene which produces blond hair is disappearing from the population.
The last natural blondes will die out within 200 years, scientists believe. A study by experts in Germany suggests people with blonde hair are an endangered species and will become extinct by 2202.
Researchers predict the last truly natural blonde will be born in Finland - the country with the highest proportion of blondes. But they say too few people now carry the gene for blondes to last beyond the next two centuries.
The researchers blame "bottle blondes," which fool blonde-attracted males into mating with them, disadvantaging the natural blondes.
Sounds rather clinical, when expressed that way ...
