Brunettes, rejoice!View MessagesViewing posts 1 to 16 of 16 messages posted.
You never liked blondes anyhoo! “A scientist says mosquitoes prefer blondes. The insect is automatically more attracted to blondes and redheads than people with dark hair. This is for the same reason male humans are attracted to blondes - they are more eye-catching. Professor Andrew Spielman, co-author of a new book Mosquito, says blondes and redheads might be more attractive to skeeters for the same reason they tend to turn heads at cocktail parties - they stand out in a crowd. "Mosquitoes are attracted to contrasts," says Prof Spielman, one of the world's foremost experts on mosquitoes and the diseases they carry. "If you have one blonde person with long hair wearing bright colours at a picnic held in the shade, where the other people are dark-haired, you know who is going to get the attention." Prof Spielman recommends 'no swatting' because when you flail your arms to shoo them away you're probably just attracting them, reports ABC News. Some mosquitoes carry yellow fever, malaria and the deadly West Nile Virus. The book also says mosquitoes claimed the lives of Alexander the Great, Oliver Cromwell and various Popes and world leaders. And now for the obligatory blonde joke... What did the blonde say when she found out she was pregnant? "Are you sure it's mine?"” 2:32:06 PM 6/21/01 RE: Brunettes, rejoice! “How come they don't go for the head, then? Doesn't make much sense. I'm no scientist... but I would think that a blonde has less contrast. I am blonde and I have fair skin. Not too much contrast there. Four blondes jump in the car and head down I 75 to visit Disneyworld in Orlando. They drive for hours and hours. When they get near Orlando, they see a sign on the freeway that reads: "DisneyWorld - Left"... Disappointed, they turn around and drive home.” 2:45:26 PM 6/21/01 RE: Brunettes, rejoice! “Avoid dark colours, especially blue. What's the difference between a sanitary tampon and the blond that works in the office? No difference, they're both stuck up ˘unts. Sorry.” 3:46:44 PM 6/21/01 RE: Brunettes, rejoice! “Why did the blonde go to church? Cause she heard there was a guy hung like this... (visual: hold arms out wide)” 3:51:05 PM 6/21/01 RE: Brunettes, rejoice! “The Canadian in me would like to apologise now for all the past and future rudeness on this site. I'm very, very sorry.” 4:01:29 PM 6/21/01 RE: Brunettes, rejoice! “A young brunette goes into the doctor's office and tells him that her body hurts wherever she touches it. "Impossible," says the doctor. "Show me." She takes her finger and pushes on her elbow and screams in agony. She then pushes on her knee and screams, pushes on her ankle and screams...and so it goes. No matter where she touches her agony is apparent. The doctor says, "You're not really a brunette, are you? You're really a blonde." She sheepishly admits that indeed she is a blonde. "I thought so," he says. "Your finger is broken."” 4:41:18 PM 6/21/01 RE: Brunettes, rejoice! “Three pregnant ladies in the OB/GYN waiting room. The brunette says, "Oh I just know I am going to have a boy because my husband was on top when he was conceived!" The redhead smiles and says, "Then I'll have a girl, because I was on top when she was conceived!" The blonde brok out in loud wailing sobs, "Oh my gosh, I'm going to have puppies!" Oops, did I type that?” 8:28:06 PM 6/21/01 RE: Brunettes, rejoice! “Did ya hear about the two blonds on opposing debate teams? It went something like this: "Uh-uhh!" "Uh-huh!" "Uh-uhh!" "Uh-huh!" I once read that killer bees are attracted to black...” 8:31:49 PM 6/21/01 RE: Brunettes, rejoice! “Why were the blondes on the roof? They heard free drinks were on the house.” 9:50:20 PM 6/21/01 RE: Brunettes, rejoice! “What do you call a blonde that dyes her hair brunette? Artificial intelligence.” 10:02:24 PM 6/21/01 RE: Brunettes, rejoice! “If a brunette bleaches her hair, and then bleaches the muff to match, is she twice as stupid?” 11:43:26 PM 6/21/01 RE: Brunettes, rejoice! “What do you call a brunette with bad breath? A blonde doing a handstand.” 1:46:07 AM 6/22/01 RE: Brunettes, rejoice! “skeeters, ya say? hmm....” 8:07:39 AM 6/22/01 RE: Brunettes, rejoice! “This must be some kind of record for thread deterioration. Fun, tho'.” 8:54:08 AM 6/22/01 RE: Brunettes, rejoice! “Yes grimlin, it's a new record. I think the record was ten posts before thread deterioation.” 12:50:13 PM 6/22/01 RE: Brunettes, rejoice! “Rad, yo da man!” 1:02:49 PM 6/22/01
