Can you feel the pain?

Apparently, red-headed women are some sort of super species.

Flame-haired women, like actress Nicole Kidman, are a lot better than blondes and brunettes at coping with pain.
A team of British scientists is investigating the gene responsible in the hope that it will lead to the development of new anaesthetics and pain killing drugs.

Like Nicole Kidman? Hehe. Good job being specific. You just know that people will be poking Nicole with a stick now that they said she can endure pain.

I know for a fact that red-headed women can endure more pain. Once I kicked Ronald McDonald's wife, who is also a redhead, squarely in the groin, and she didn't as much as blink. Then I stepped on her oversized feet, and nothing, she didn't even bat an eyelash. So then I elbowed her as hard as I could in her big round red nose, and said "How's that, you like that?", and she said "Like it? I'm Lovin' it!". Psycho nutjob.

Professor Ian Jackson, from the Medical Research Council's Human Genetics Unit, is working with "redhead" mice mimicking the same gene mutation.

Redhead mice? Are you kidding me? Next they're going to tell me that they look just like Annie.

Prof Mogil identified a mutant version of a gene called melanocortin-1 (Mc1r) that is linked to ginger hair and fair skin.

The gene variant also gives women a higher pain threshold, but does not appear to have the same effect on men.

Most redheads that I know are either Irish or Scottish. You have to be tough when you're an Irish or Scottish woman because you're constantly in pain having to live with an Irish or Scottish husband. Irish and Scottish gals also have to have quick reflexes, from ducking away from beer and whiskey bottles.

Redheads are sexy, unless they have that flaming red hair, that just makes them cartoon like. The redheads I've gone out with were pretty tough, and they had wicked bad tempers. They are also the most sensual women on the planet. Simply touch a redheads arm and the next thing you know she'll be all over you like cocaine in a rock stars nose. Don't get them angry though, or when you're sleeping they'll sew your eyes shut. Never cross a redheaded woman or you'll be dead.
