Red-Haired Giants of Nevada
I am sure I watched something about the ginger giants of Nevada/or Scotland on discovery, it's probaly crap but could go some way to explaining why red heads are mocked..maybe it's a primal fear thing, anyways found this -



Growing up in Nevada I had heard stories of the Sitecah from the Paiute Indians that lived in the area. They told of red-haired men and women of light colored skin as tall as 12 feet who originally lived in the area when the Paiutes had first arrived. Evidently these human giants liked to eat the Indians so they had problems making friends. The Indian tribes of the area finally joined and ambushed the giants killing most of them on the spot. The remaining giants took refuge in a cave. The Indians demanded they come out and fight but the giants refused. So, the Indians piled brush into the cave and set it on fire. Any giants that did run out were shot with arrows, the remaining giants were asphyxiated.

In the 1800s this cave was known as Horse Shoe Cave but is now called Lovelock Cave. Lovelock cave is located around 20 miles South of Lovelock Nevada.


Just imagine getting it on with a 12foot ginger woman - eeek!

They were probably Vikings...
They probably ran into a bunch of Scandewegians out a viking. I don't recall when Leif Eriksen (sp?) go there but I'm sure his bunch would have run into some natives.
