    Stupid question. Everyone knows gingers can't have a soul. They will get a twix and a can of coke.

    That sounds like reverse discrimination. Non Gingers get a poxy soul, whereas gingers get a twix AND a can of coke. Do you've any idea of the market value of a soul these days compared to twix and coke?

    Scientifically speaking the reason for ginger beard is totally different to ginger head hair. So, no. We atheists are people of science!

    Its an article in a rag, I done a bit of research and can find no evidence to suggest its true. Their could be a million reasons why that guy is wraped in plastic. Could be a joke, could be a dummy, could be Photoshopped. Sorry to rain on your parade guys.

    I googled for almost 30 seconds and got this from a Huffington Post article:

    Should you wish to try researching again, I know it is tough, trying using the search terms:

    Yea, I couldn't figure out what sort of impurities he thought could get through a pressurised metal cylinder yet could be stopped by a (presumably unsealed) plastic bag.

    Jesus! You're such a demanding bunch of users. Linky this, source that, fallacy there, bias here. Pfft. In my day, we should accepted things at face value and never question them.

    Rant aside, finding a link for this stuff has been hard. I keep landing in speculative discussions or blog posts. I'd always just understood it to be a case of genetics. You either carry a red head hair gene or you don't; if you have one you're a potential red beard. If you've got more then you're probably going to be a red head.

    However, I need a citation for this, so take it with a pinch of salt. :o

    Well, I'm disinclined to take that at face (or even chin) value.
    My understanding is that the receptor one gene for red hair is recessive, and hence you can have it and not be red haired at all, or have it and have red facial and body hair but not head hair, or be ginge all over.
    In other words, it's the interactions with more dominant genes which decides whether it manifests as red hair on head, face or elsewhere, not 'how much' of it you have, which is sort of meaningless in a binary context.

    12 year old article from another rag that states nobody was ever allowed to travel like that. Excellent research skills there :rolleyes:

    By all means explain (with citations) the Jewish chap in the bag if you have the real story... otherwise the parade goes on. :)

    Why are you having fun at someone who has religious beliefs? That's his business (assuming the article is true).

    Your a bully.
