Quantitative freak index - how 'special' are we?
Researcher U197087 Started conversation May 30, 2003
I was inspired (well, perhaps the wrong word) by the Innie/Outie thread to indulge in a moment of maniacal solipsism, which if anyone would like to help me out with this, or join in with their own circumstances, would be groovy.
You often hear statistics like 'one in 10 people are left-handed' or 'one in 4 people are gay' and I was wondering if it was possible to
tot up all your personal statistical indiscretions and find out you're one in a million, or worse . I'm wondering if any one has close to accurate statistics on any of the below.
Myself, I'm
Left handed
Asthmatic
An only child
and have
Temporal lobe epilepsy (but not for years)
PTS & Depression
Different-coloured eyes
and last but not least,
an outie.
This all coming from a straight white 6'1" blonde man, once referred to as 'Aryan'. Exactly how wrong was that?

so calling a red head rusty is actually true
something to do with iron being injected to hair follicle along with normal colour
still redheads are able
