If you drink more than a glass (two?) of blood, you will vomit.

Incidentally, this is why adults who tell children who get massive nosebleeds that they need to keep their head tilted back are assholes.

You're supposed to tilt your head forward over a sink until it stops. The blood needs to go somewhere. Jerks. >:(

Because many citizens did not own private telephones, instead of a phone vote viewers would turn on lights if they liked the song and turned them off if they did not. According to load experienced on the electrical network, points were granted accordingly to each contestant.

But... if you tilt back, it will just flow back in!

On a related note, if you slashed the aorta and pulmonary artery of the average adult male (whilst somehow keeping the heart beating) it would take almost exactly two hours to bleed them totally dry, assuming their heart was at the lowest point of their body.

I don't want to know how you learned this.

I learned the unsolved mystery of the Riemann Hypothesis was fascinating.

Little necro for this thread, but I found out today that the reason why Psychic pokemon are weak to Ghost, Bug and Dark types is because they're common fears.

Really? That's actually pretty cool.

I think that belongs in the terrible jokes thread :P
