Hair color is the pigmentation of hair follicles due to two types of melanin: eumelanin and pheomelanin. Generally, if more eumelanin is present, the color of the hair is darker; if less eumelanin is present, the hair is lighter. Levels of melanin can vary over time causing a person's hair color to change, and it is possible to have hair follicles of more than one color on the same person. Particular hair colors are often associated with ethnic groups, while gray or white hair is | after black. It is caused by higher levels of the natural dark pigment eumelanin, and lower levels of the pale pigment pheomelanin. Brown eumelanin is more common among Europeans, while black eumelanin is more often found in the hair on non-Europeans. A small amount of black eumelanin, in the absence of other pigments, results in grey hair. A small amount of brown eumelanin in the absence of other pigments results in blond hair.

I really like vampires!!
Vampires are intense and based on European folklore. Do you have any favorite vampires?
I think dracula is the best one!!!
He's one of the best! He's based on the character from the 1897 horror book of the same name.
wow. i like reading scary novels
It's a great book! It kick-started the vampire popularity, I would argue. European folklore has a ton of pretty dark stuff.
One thing I don't like! TWILIGHT lol
Twilight is a melodrama that doesn't have the best vampire content. Dracula is a much more sophisticated work in my opinion. Vampires can take many forms of blood sucking!

I have never snorkled before. Can you tell me more about it?
Definitely! To start, you'll need a diving mask and a breathing tube, called a snorkel. You may even want a wetsuit.
When did snorkeling become popular? Has it been around a long time?
I'm actually not sure, but snorkeling has been mentioned by Aristotle, so at the very least, it goes back to Aristotle's time.
Wow, that is pretty far back. What else interesting do you know about the activity?
Well, the nice thing about snorkeling is that it gives you the opportunity to view underwater life without using expensive scuba gear.
I would imagine it is much cheaper than scuba. Does it take a lot of training? | Snorkeling
