    Elvis started dyeing his hair black to look like Tony Curtis around 1957. But early photos show that he actually had light brown hair. Blonde is a real stretch.

    He made Priscilla dye her brown hair black, too.

    I wouldn't call it blonde but I guess its what they call sandy blonde. I had heard that he made Priscilla dye her hair but I had forgotten about that. I don't think natural black hair is very common to white people. In my whole life I don't think I've met more than a handful who did have natural black.

    It depends. Most Americans are of British and Germanic ethnicity, which is to say, a large percentage of Scandinavian with inherent red, blonde, and light brown hair. But Celtic people like the Irish have a lot of jet-black hair as do Mediterranean white people like the Spanish, Italian and Greek ethnicities. Outside of Europe, black hair dominates.

    Redheads require 20% more anesthetic before surgery than people with other colored hair.

    That could actually be true, although there is much bullshit on this thread. My dentist folder has long been flagged "hard to anesthetize" and I'm hard to keep under in surgery. I was in severe pain and got 3 shots of Morphine in the ER once and it didn't even knock the pain back. At last they gave me a shot of Dilaudid and the pain friggin' disappeared in 20 seconds! That stuff is genuine magic. The book says that it is 8 times as powerful a heroin and I absolutely believe it.

    Don't ever let them leave you in pain. They got shit they don't talk about much that can deal with pain. It can also make you stop breathing, you have to trust the doctor, I suppose.

    I don't have red hair but when I go to the dentist I need extra novocaine to kill the pain.
