Redheads also dont process sunlight as well, which can lead to low moods which probably leads to they're fiery temper.


LOL I thought you said redheads don't PRODUCE sunlight! :lol:

And people think blonde jokes make sense... That's it. I'm dying my hair red and going into Centrelink and demanding a disability pension because I'm a redhead! I wonder if they will do tests to determine whether I'm a natural? :lol:

Heh, I'm wondering if I should be offended here. I'm on the disability pension.

I am American, Swedish, Puerto Rican, and might have a little bit of Native American blood in me too. Not that any of this matters.

I think by Celt he means old Irish. Nothing is really known about the original Celts past the patterns we found on pottery. All the hearsay has pretty much been disproved. There's no way to know as they have been gone so long ago. And if anybody is of Celtic ancestry it would be such a minuscule amount, also due to how long they have been gone. We cant even say that they had black hair or anything. And the cartoon idea of a bunch of druids dancing around Stonehenge has been thrown out also.

edit: To add a note on so many in this thread speaking of 'Celts' to have red hair and to be irish but this is wrong. The borders of Ireland did not exist as you know them. Nonetheless the 'Celts' were invaded by the Irish long ago and they did not have red hair or really anything else in common.

As far as your study on Irish and aspergers, the study has already been done around the world.

There is though a celt 'prophecy' if you will, speaking on something many new agers, hippies, and occultists consider possibly in relation to autism, but as usual with religion can be interpreted so many ways is considered objective. It speaks of dreamers being born in the last days of the age to help people learn to wake up or something. I personally think this means they did too much opium.
