You’ve read the real news, now for the stuff that’s not really news, but made it into the papers anyway.

Whisky Like Water: Doctors in Scotland say the fact whisky is the same price as bottled water is causing problems…
The Fat Shepherd: Matt Damon too ‘fat’ to be a spy says CIA expert…
Blondes an endangered species: Too few people carry the recessive blonde gene and scientists are predicting there will be no natural blondes left in in 200 years…

I think that blondes thing is an old hoax?

Yeah, the blondes thing is a hoax, though no one’s sure where it came from.
Snopes give the lowdown.
But this is the Not Really News section, so presumedly we can take everything here with a grain or two of salt (or peroxide).

Ah Robyn…You are too generous. Maybe it was wishful thinking (as a brunette I am partial to prejudice of this nature), or maybe it’s dropping any science classes as quick as I could in the formative years.
The truth is I believed it because it was on the beeb.
