I never knew or really though about how much blood the human body holds. Wow!
Why are some people called Blue Bloods? Is it just a saying or are they special? Do they get away with things that others can't? Are they royalty? If it has a bad meaning I don't know. I could Goo Goo this stuff but you esplain it more better!

'Blue blood' - the meaning and origin of this phrase
I found this NOTHING but interesting.

'Blue blood' is a literal translation of the Spanish 'sangre azul'. This was the designation attributed to some of the oldest and proudest families of Castile, who claimed never to have intermarried with Moors, Jews, or other races. The expression probably originated in the blueness of the veins of people of fair complexion as compared with those of dark skin.
