I have always wondered why I was taught in school for so long and it turns out that apparently lots of other people were taught this too.
The only reason I can think if that we were raight that blood in the body is blue is because our veins look blue. But does anyone know where that myth came from or why kids are still being taught this today?
I was definitely told this as a kid, but I don’t remember being taught it in school.
It’s completely possible a Latin teacher or a history teacher told me too but it wasn’t a part of the curriculum.
