Even as a kid I thought that was stupid. If blood is blue in the body and only turns red when it touches oxygen, then why is it red in the water?

I was told that's only in the movies. In real life it would be blue.

But then again I got a detention for arguing that the moon is visible during the day. The detention was because I pointed out to the window and said look, and she was embarrassed.

The answer is obvious, dissolved oxygen in the water--duh!

Because there's oxygen in water. That's what fish breathe!

The detention was because … she was embarrassed.

Ohh yes, classic detention for proving the teacher wrong. There’s a depressing amount of teachers who rule by their ego instead of by science. It’s why I now consider my school discipline record as a source of pride instead of shame.

One if my brothers teachers sent over half of her class to detention one day and the vice principal brought them all back like "you cant just send your whole class, get a grip"
