So, I was chatting on gmail, when a random ad caught my eye...usually I ignore them because they pick up text from my emails and try and sell me products based on what I am discussing...but today, the ad was too good to be true...a tee-shirt website that caters to redheads!

Realm of Redheads has witty tee shirts for the genetic mutants that are redheads (I am a proud natural redhead myself, so I was intrigued).
One of the shirts in particular, the Got Melanocortin 1 shirt, made me laugh. For years I've explained that redheads are a genetic anomaly, but most people stare at me blankly...but now I can wear a tee shirt and save my precious breath! *grin*
Here is the description included with the tee shirt:
"Only an estimated 4 percent of the population is born with red hair (only 2% in the U.S.), due to the recessive nature of the gene that produces it. That gene, the melanocortin 1 receptor, was discovered on the 16th of the 23 human chromosome pairs in 1995 by Jonathan Rees, a professor at the University of Edinburgh in Scotland."
