World Redhead Day

Results: The desflurane requirement in redheads (6.2 volume-percent [95% CI, 5.9 - 6.5]) was significantly greater than in dark-haired women (5.2 volume-percent [4.9 – 5.5], P = 0.0004). Nine of 10 redheads were either homozygous or compound heterozygotes for mutations on the melanocortin-1 receptor gene.
Conclusions: Red hair appears to be a distinct phenotype linked to anesthetic requirement in humans that can also be traced to a specific genotype.

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

And they say race is a social construct.

Does this qualify as a Who Dis pic?
My new best friend. Why do you ask?

Interesting.

In a couple of hundred years they'll probably be extinct...
