So there wouldn't have been a concern about "catching" anything from it - though it didn't taste good ;).

I just know weird stuff from reading and class. I pick up bizarre trivia, yet still can't win Trivial Pursuit. (It does make for interesting conversation.)

The turtle thing is from my random survival knowledge (I can survive an avalanche in theory - very useful in TX), the one pint limit is from bio, and I have no clue why I know about stomach lining. As for blood-borne disease: duh. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taboo_food_and_drink#Blood Wikipedia's entry isn't that interesting. It's mainly about blood sausage and such, which gives me the willies. Haha, not wikipedia actually.

Wikipedia’s entry isn’t that interesting. It’s mainly about blood sausage and such, which gives me the willies.

Glad you liked the book. I know what you mean about Cat's sense of invincibility/suicidal tendencies - I want to smack her myself at times ;-). "Sooner or later, though, I have to wonder if Cat (or Bones) will realize that she’ll need to give more, to prove to HIM that SHE loves him." Heh. Since I know what I'm cooking up for book four, this comment made me grin. Can't elaborate, of course, or that would be spoilering. Thanks for taking the time to read and review One Foot in the Grave! Jeaniene Hi Bev. Glad you liked the book.

I think drinking other person's blood is just asking for a nice, rather nasty disease but about just drinking it in general it depends on how the person feels towards it and if they somehow make it taste good. Chocolate-flavored blood, anyone? Liviania, wikipedia? lol.

And then I got excited because that's a random piece of trivia my husband won't know, and I can surprise him with it.

Thank you Laviania! I knew we had medical duckies out there. So, it IS physically possible to retain up to a pint of blood in the stomach. Now, MENTALLY? That's a whole 'nuther thing. YUK! AHA!

As for drinking blood: You can drink about a pint without getting sick (it depends person to person). Many people get sick because of the idea, but it happens because of the process since blood irritates the mucus lining of the stomach. Drinking your own blood is non-toxic, but drinking other's blood is a bad idea. It's full of disease and bacteria (including AIDS, Hepatitis, and malaria).
