Bring on the pain (being a red head and all...)!

So today I heard on Good Morning America that red heads can tolerate pain better! Apparently red hair is caused by a gene that doesn't work (apparently I was meant to have brown hair) and that same gene is related to pain. Studies on mice/rats (ew!) have shown that red heads (there are red-headed mice?) can tolerate stronger amounts of pain better. Woo Hoo! (Don't know why I'm cheering... but hey...red heads never get attention!)

So next time you hear me complaining about how bad my menstral cramps are, or about how my thighs are sore after a work out... if it hurts ME that bad... imagine how much it would hurt YOU??

Thank about it...
