You know what they say about guys with a big BAC!

I know. I just have this horrid phobia of blood being taken or shots being given. When I was little I had to be held down by my mom and two nurses to get my shots. When I was in middle school, I burst out crying in the waiting room because I had to get a finger prick for a blood sample.

even if i wanted to give blood, every time i've needed to give some for tests they've had to jab me more than once.

every. fucking. time.

Ouch. That must suck.

I'm guessing they had a hard time finding your veins?

Ohh, and funny blood-related story: My health teacher told us that oxygenated blood is red and unoxygenated blood is blue. That's why there are veins in our hands and arms that are blue. Apparently in one class he taught, this kid said "That's not true! I cut open one of those blue veins and the blood was red!" My health teacher apparently then told the kid that by cutting open the vein, he let oxygen into the blood. :rolleyes

Where's the funny blood-related story?

Well, my class (and the teacher) thought that it was pretty funny that the kid deliberately cut open his hand to see blue blood and then failed to realize that the oxygen in the air would make it red.

Unoxygenated blood is blue, as one can tell by the blueness of one's veins. This makes sense because vein tissue is completely transparent. Complete sense, in fact.

Yeah, what he said. NOT FUNNY!

I understand that blue blood is unoxygenated, hence the blue veins. This kid felt the need to cut a blue vein open and see for himself.... Oh never mind. >:
