So, I've been busily eating mass quantities of spicy food tonight. You all have about 14 hours left before I destroy the Earth. How will you spend it?
Redheads are "more frightened of dentists"? I thought everyone was afraid of dentists. Except the healthcare industry I suppose.

Nah, I've never had a cavity, it's another one of my superpowers, I suppose.

I've had two, but they weren't on my permanent teeth. I do not take good care of my teeth, though.

I imagine deathkitten will come in here and call us fags for not talking about video games
Why not just amass a redhead army to take over the world and use everyone else as slaves? IF WE DO THAT CAN I BE GENERAL? I always wanted to command an army.

Is your arch nemesis Flash Gordon?

Crack all my games in my Steam library and try to get banned.
Strangely enough, all the redheads in my family (myself included, and there are a lot of us) are HIGHLY resistant to pain of all kinds, not just stinging. My grandmother and I in particular have absurd pain tolerances. And the redheaded men in my family are very tolerant of cold as well (though this fades with age). The women seem to be affected by cold normally, though. So we're either outliers, or we have some other genes that compensate.

I will admit that it requires more anesthesia to knock us out, though. Anesthesiologists have actually been giving heightened doses of general anesthetics to redheads for years, because redheads have a tendency to wake up on the operating table during long surgeries otherwise... which is bad.
And its a well known and scientifically proven phenomona that red cars go faster. Its all in the colour red. Something to do with the spectrum and red shifting and stuff like that.

Maybe I should paint my computer red...

Some people actually like going to the dentist. Generally people who take good care of their teeth, and therefore have nothing to worry about, may even find it to be a pleasurable experience. Even something like a (gasp) root canal isn't that painful. Root canals are actually substantially LESS painful than getting a tooth pulled... because root canals are only done if the nerve and surrounding tissue are damaged already, and it's the damaged nerve that's causing all the pain, not the procedure itself.

PMIK: RED ONES GO FASTA!
I'm pretty sure that only applies to the Orks in 40K. The red ones DO go faster, though.

Sorry but that just wont cut it. If you want to be able to destroy the world, you need to add a mixture of fried eggs and beans. Just to be sure you destroy the WHOLE world, not just a small town.....or just your pants, depending on the force achieved.
