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?

    Did you go to school during a period of time where there wasn’t access to information on the Internet? Old wives’ tales had more legs back in the day because you’d have to visit a library and open a card catalog to disprove them.
