Last week, several British newspapers reported that the World Health Organization had found in a study that blonds would become extinct within 200 years because blondness was caused by a recessive gene that was dying out. The reports were repeated by anchors for ABC and CNN. There was only one problem: The health organization says that it never reported that blonds would become extinct and that it had never done a study on the subject. "WHO has no knowledge of how these news reports originated," the organization, a Geneva-based agency of the United Nations, declared. The agency added that it "would like to stress that we have no opinion of the future existence of blonds."
