More On Redheads

London Zoo Welcomes 'Ginger' Heads

LONDON (United Press International via COMTEX) -- Only red-headed humans qualify for a free entry this Sunday at the London Zoo to celebrate the birth of the monkey version of the red-headed species.

The occasion dubbed "Ginger Sunday" is to welcome the arrival of the new Francois Langur baby, an endangered animal.

"To rejoice in gingerness, the Zoo is offering two-for-one entry to all red heads on production of a voucher," a news release said.

Red heads can take advantage of the two-for-one offer and bring a brunette, blonde, black, ginger or bald headed friend in for free.

A recent survey of London Zoo visitors showed that 9 out of 10 redheads were teased at school about their hair color. Some scientists even suggest that redheads are the last survivors of the Neanderthals.

With continuing jokes about ginger nuts and hot headedness, London Zoo decided to give something back to red heads with our special offer.

In addition to the new Francois langur baby, "Ginger Sunday" will celebrate the zoo's other red headed animals.

UPDATE: I'm not the only one intrigued by the offer
