Ok. I don't know the numbers, but while the proportion of blondes in Sweden probably is as high as in pretty much any other place, it's not very high in absolute numbers; way below 50%. (Partly dependent on your definition of "blonde" of course; a Turkish girl told me that _I_ was blond, which I'm not even near by Swedish standards.) Andreas
