From <A HREF="http://haldjas.folklore.ee/folklore/vol3/red.htm" TARGET=_blank>http://haldjas.folklore.ee/folklore/vol ... .<P><i>The Proto-Finnic language borrowed the Baltic word karva, which also developed a dual meaning -<P><b>karva1</b> - 'hair'
<b>karva2</b> - 'the colour of the hair'.</i><P>In order to further my efforts to be more like Karva, I'm changing my name to Blonde. <P>------------------

That's okay. The Mrs. Blonde position is still up for grabs.

Well, technically, that should be Mr. Blond and M/r/s Blond<I>e</I>.<P>Ant that's French. I could be Mr. Rou (for redheads).<P><P>------------------
