Hi Paul,
Yeah, I liked the movie too but I was never convinced by the blood-in-the-varnish part, for the reasons you quoted. Glad to hear I wasn’t alone.
Regards,
Filiberto

Hi Lloyd

Hemoglobin and alizarin have nothing in common except being red.

The color difference between arterial and venous blood is due to hemoglobin having different colors when it's carrying oxygen (arterial blood) and after it's unloaded oxygen (venous blood).

Don't mind me, folks. I'm just feeling a little faint.
