Weird Facts about Redheads

After spending some time researching facts about Redheads on the Internet I have realized that people in the old days really didn't like us. They either that we were witches (in the literal meaning of the word) or that we were sexually frustrated. I really don't know were they came up with this stuff. So I have complied a list of some of the craziest and just plain weird "facts" about redheads.
*My information was gathered using the website http://www.purgatory.net/kornelia/1603/red_hair_facts.htm*

1. Red hair is seen on the heads of only four percent of people. Most of these exist in the U.K., the Republic of Ireland, and Australia.

2. The color Green tempers red. Look at a color chart. This is why redheads are taught as children to wear lots of green. As if red hair is a shameful state of being.

3. The first human redheads walked this earth about 50,000 years ago in Africa and then spread throughout Northern Europe.

4. Adolph Hitler reportedly banned the marriages of two redheads as he feared their children would be “deviant offspring”.

5. Bees are thought to sting redheads more than others.

6. In Denmark it is an honor to have a redheaded child.

7. In Poland, if you pass three redheads you'll win the state lottery.

8. In Greek Mythology, redheads turn into Vampires when they die.

9. Ancient Greeks died their hair red to show courage.
