No one actually knows how much information a human brain can hold, because we don't even know how the brain stores information. And the one about the first band-aids... I don't even understand why that is there. You can still buy adhesive bandages that come in rolls so you can cut it to size. The one about the brain having 4 terabytes of storage space is bull.

Blood is never blue, vnous blood is a dull red colour. The people who’ve commented about the colour of deoxygenated blood are correct. Blood is never blue, vnous blood is a dull red colour.

Red blood cells (erythrocytes) are red due to the iron in haemoglobin, a protein structure containing iron (haem = iron, globin = protein). Hemophilia in its most common form (H. A) is a mutation on the X chromosome for a clotting factor responsible for forming a clot when the negative surface of vascualr endothelium is exposed after rupture; women, having two X chromosomes, can be carriers and have a reduced clotting time (PT, prothrombin time) through reduced viable clotting vactor VIII. As the male incidence of this is about 1:5000 male births in the US, and rarer in females, you just barely ever get a female with out and out HA; a carrier female and HA+ male have a 50/50 chance of producing a *daughter* with HA, so obviously a 25% from any pregnancy. Just thought I'd tidy that up. Oh and is the brain using FAT32 storage? Are files compressed? And can I get a wireless adapter installed? :D Blood is never blue.
