Thank all the medical and educational texts that chose blue to identify veins returning to the heart with a blue color and arteries away from the heart as red. A simple color choice to differentiate and somehow someone decided that this was the color of blood.

According to my color-blind friend, purple isn’t a real color - our blood is actually green.

My biology teacher taught me that peanut oil causes cancer. Can't get that out of my brain 30+ years later.

Encyclopaedia sets were expensive but there were all sorts of things you could subscribe to for facts. My parents subscribed me to an animal fact thing where i got some sheets to collect in a folder every month. I'd read the hell out of it and eagerly wait for the next issue. It allowed me to memorise a lot of information about animals.

I also visited the library a lot more before the internet, and there was also Encarta which died as soon as the internet became mainstream.

Develop extreme philosophy that resembles Stoicism, but is actually a really disfunctional version of it, apparently.

This is the reason a lot of people have got fat, and also died.
