From The Telegraph:
Ginger people have long been the butt of unfair jokes, but a new study suggests that when it comes to aging gracefully, they may be having the last laugh.
Scientists in The Netherlands have discovered that a gene which keeps people looking young for their age is the same that produces red hair and fair skin.
Researchers at Erasmus University in Rotterdam studied the faces of almost 2,700 elderly Dutch Europeans, and found that those carrying a variation of the MC1R gene looked on average two years younger than they actually are.

Well, whoopee-do!
